well let me inform u that he simply want us to know that every one was not born a leader so . leading is an inbuilt talent and not just a game for everyone . even is physical appearance can answer that question so dont upset becos if u count qualities of a good leader only 40% are fit so why will u blame him if his among they remaining 60%. guys chilllllllll

What can I say, I drop my head in shame & hide the fact I am Nigerian. I got my education from Nigeria and if this is the best we can do it really is a shame.

The interview is all wrong, written in the worst language (sorry just remembered, it was actually written in English) style I have ever seen, how this made it's way into a national newspaper of any country baffles me.

What makes this even worse is comments from people here saying "this is the best interview and well done". Seems we definitely must be reading different interviews. I can image doing an interview with Tom Cruise and going, "so Tom, is it true you beat you wife for sport?"

Hello people....

PLEASE HANG YOUR HEADS IN SHAME IF THIS IS WHAT NIGERIANS ARE ABLE PRODUCE.

@anon 4:16am- Well said. I couldn’t agree more with your comments. Ramsey shud not sell himself short. What does he mean he can’t lead?….What a lame comment. He is so boring…..

@ Everyone with comments about what Bella should or shouldn’t be on her blog… since this is Bella’s blog, doesn’t she have the right to discuss what she wants?? This might not necessarily be the place she wants to pour her heart out and have true confessions! It’s her blog…so be it celebrity news, or news about her toe-nails(LOL) its her call!!!
Create your own blog for inner most thoughts…

Just my opinion…and as we all know, everyone has got one!

In Nigeria the term half cast in not derogatory and for most of us if we hadn’t lived in Yankee or Jand for a while we wouldn’t be so sensitive to it. Personally I think focusing on terms makes us see the bad and forget the big picture

luvly piece but did whoever write it have to label him as halfcast just becos he is of mixed blood. That is a term i find offensive, mixed race/ blood/ origin etc will do nicely.

oh, and like naija_bunny said, I actually visit ur blog like a mag, I think u could personalize it a lot more. That would be great! Share your deep-thought comments on e.g. this interview and not just copy-paste it. It’s great to hear ur travel stories though! Pls keep feeding us all the gist!

uhh, excuse me. Why all the praise on he gave such an “honest” response. The content of his answers are valid, but puh lease! This guy could use some training on public speaking!! First off, my impression from the interview showed NO PASSION for acting. He seems satisfied with his current state, like he has no further ambitions or goals or targets, coz he is already acting. Secondly, who “sells” themselves that way?? what ever happened to image preservation? Why would he downright X himself on being a leader? There are more subtle ways of saying that you may not be the best-fit for such a position. And no, this has nothing to do with being or not being honest. Ur words will hold against you. If Arnold Schwarz* had said smth similar and later in his life decided to run for Governor??
In conclusion, I had expected more from him, but I have to say he came off rather mediocre. “What do you besides acting? Nothing” – seriously?? no hobbies?? Again, a course in public speaking would do good, he could have said smth like he loves spending his free time with his family… kids… friends… – which wouldn’t be a lie.
Damn!! and he is one of my fav actors…

Sadly, Ramsey Nouah is one of my least favourite actors. He just does not do it for me. I find his acting too dull and boring. His expressions are almost predictable in every movie. At least he’s better than that Emeka Lad. Can someone please tell me why Emeka looks dirty in all his movies? He needs a crush course on grooming!
Bon nuit folks

I love it when publicity seeking folks all of a sudden want their privacy back. Don’t know much about this dude so my comment is strictly focussed on him.

I think you should also take Dimeji Alara’s points very well…he has good points about interviewing and will take your next interview to greater heights.

Lovely interview…

Cheers Bella…

For now, the PC choice of words is bi-racial or multi-racial, what is mixed ethnicity? It does not tell you anything about the racial make-up of a person, and yes there are people for whom it is important to acknowledge all their racial heritage.
That itself is by the way, people still use half caste and a lot of people do not find it offensive. Do not be deceived that simply because you now live abroad or have access to the outside world, that everyone is PC. It does not have a negative connotation to it in Nigeria, it just describes the person.
The interview did nothing for me except that Ramsey did not go OP as a lot of them do.

actually multiracial/biracial is also not correct cos there is only one race … the human race.
Maybe mixed ethnicity … even that sef ..

half cast is not any better than mixed blood (Ramsey's statement).

I don't get the mixed blood thing. The one thing that differentiates a white person from a black person is melanin and not blood. We are all mixed blood because we are from two different people (mom & dad).

I think multiracial/biracial is the most political correct saying.

OH! and something he said that stood out 2 me was d bit about Nollywood directors not naming their movies b4 it comes out....UM ARE U KIDDIN ME????? NO BLOODY WONDER!!!! there goes d answer 2 d question ive had all this while.

And I thot i was going crazy. i would go 2 d african stores 2 rent a movie and see d same movie with 3 different names??? and it jst throws me off all the d time.
i vividly remember one called "slave 4 lust" and then it was also re-named "a woman's honor" or sum ish like that. d movie was good by d way.

BUT seriously tho, which kain yeye marketing strategy be that one?? is it 2 trick us into buying *ahem* renting d movie 2ce or what??
so if ur tryin 2 recommend a good movie 2 someone...what d heck r u goin 2 call it????
BIG NO SIR 2 THAT ONE ABEG!

Truthfully speaking, naija movies r falling my hand these days men. they just dont it 4 me anymore as in rubbish after rubbish after rubbish but i still love some stuff with d pioneers in the game sha like RAMSEY.
