Ramsey Nouah Praises Kumasi, Says Its People Are More Down-to-Earth Than Accra

Nigerian actor and filmmaker Ramsey Nouah has spoken highly of Kumasi, describing the Ashanti Regional capital as a vibrant city filled with hardworking, entrepreneurial and down-to-earth people.

Nouah shared his observations during an interview on Angel FM after arriving in Kumasi to feature in an upcoming movie by Ghanaian actor and comedian Kwadwo Nkansah Lil Win.

The veteran actor said he was impressed by the atmosphere in Kumasi and the energy of its residents. He likened the city to major Nigerian cities, particularly Lagos and Abuja, based on the different characteristics he has observed.

“Kumasi is lovely. People are awesome. The energy here is quite something — it’s almost like Lagos and Abuja,” he said.

Explaining the comparison, Nouah described Lagos as a city largely driven by hustlers, business-minded individuals and entrepreneurs who are constantly looking for opportunities to make a living and build businesses.

He contrasted this with Abuja, which he said is more associated with people who have already attained considerable financial success and enjoy what he described as the lifestyle of the “big boys.”

“Lagos is the hustlers’ place. Abuja is where people are eating, enjoying the big money and acting like they are the big boys. Lagos is more like the entrepreneurs. It feels like the same thing here,” Nouah explained.

According to him, Kumasi’s entrepreneurial nature reminds him more of Lagos because of the strong sense of hustle and business among the people he has encountered.

The actor also compared Kumasi with Ghana’s capital, Accra, particularly in terms of the attitude and lifestyle of residents.

Asked whether he preferred the more relaxed atmosphere he had experienced in Kumasi, Nouah agreed and said people in the Ashanti Regional capital appeared to be more down-to-earth than those in Accra.

“People are more down-to-earth here in Kumasi than in Accra, based on the experience,” he stated.

His comments come during a visit to Kumasi to join the cast of an upcoming production by Lil Win. His participation in the project adds to the growing collaboration between Ghanaian and Nigerian actors and
filmmakers.
