The actress praised Nouah for his ability to switch between roles and separate his personal and professional selves, describing him as a “phenomenal human being”.
She said, “I know Ramsey Nouah is tired of me saying this but he was the one who gave me that confirmation to move to Nigeria.”
“So I met him before I came to Nigeria. I told him my goals and aspirations. He gave me a very good pep talk and I moved down.”
“Since 2011, I have never gotten to work with him and this is someone I have always admired.”
“During a film festival, I saw him and we exchanged pleasantries.”
“The next day, I got a call from the producer of ‘Tokunbo’ and he told me Ramsey Nouah cast me.”
“Ramsey Nouah is a different person while working. I have seen him as the Ramsey the human being, the director and the co-actor. He is just a phenomenal human being.”
