Accra is more like a place for the big boys, but Kumasi is for hustlers – Nigerian filmmaker Ramsey Nouah

Nigerian actor and filmmaker Ramsey Nouah has shared his impressions of Kumasi, describing the capital of Ghana's Ashanti region as a vibrant city brimming with hardworking, entrepreneurial, and down-to-earth individuals. Nouah, who is visiting Kumasi to star in an upcoming movie by Ghanaian actor and comedian Kwadwo Nkansah Lil Win, expressed his amazement at the city's energy and character during an interview on Angel FM.

Drawing comparisons between Kumasi and major Nigerian cities, Lagos, and Abuja, Nouah remarked that Kumasi felt more like Lagos than Accra. He explained, "Kumasi is lovely. People are awesome. The energy here is quite something — it’s almost like Lagos and Abuja." Nouah noted that Lagos embodies the spirit of hustlers and entrepreneurs, while Abuja is associated with those who have amassed significant wealth.

In his view, Kumasi shares the same entrepreneurial spirit as Lagos, with its inhabitants displaying a strong drive for success.

When comparing Kumasi to Accra, Nouah observed that people in Kumasi come across as more down-to-earth. He stated, "Accra is like the big boys acting like we are the big boys, but Kumasi is like hustlers, entrepreneurs, and all those things." In terms of social life and spending, the veteran actor agreed that Kumasi offers a more relaxed atmosphere compared to Accra.

His visit to Kumasi is part of his preparations for his role in Lil Win's upcoming movie, marking a collaboration between Nigeria's film industry and Ghana's cinematic scene.
