Veteran actor, Ramsey Nouah has bemoaned the attitude of his
colleagues who spend tons of money on designer dress to walk the red
carpet to their own financial detriment.
He didn’t call out names but he dissed quite a number of them in a chat with ThisDay Magazine.
“Running red carpets, for instance, in Hollywood is
more of selling designs. In Nigeria, it is more of showing you have
money to buy designer wears. Hollywood actresses are the ones who wear
most of these designer wears and most times they don’t buy it. They are
giving publicity to the brand. But in Nigeria, you see them spend their
hard earned money to buy these designer wears to grace the red carpet.
They end up giving publicity to the brand but they don’t see it
in that light. They believe they are big boys and big girls. It’s
actually a make-believe in the industry to keep the public gushing and
excited. But the truth is that you don’t use material things to show-off
that you are big, use your works instead.”
