Sharing his grass to grace story with SUN newspaper, the good looking Actor who is happily married with kids narrated thus:
“There were times when things got really bad for my mother and I and we had nothing. It was so bad that we didn’t have a home or shelter to live in. We had to stay in a store, a small store that could take only one mat. My mother and I squeezed ourselves in that mat. We didn’t even have a cup to drink water not to talk of a stove to cook. And my mother had to borrow, beg and stuff like that. These were moments when I was young. I didn’t realize the gravity of poverty we were in, I couldn’t tell. But it was a good orientation for me. It was moments that I thank God for making me pass through, because that has sustained and helped me even as an actor. The ability to deliver all the roles they give me because I have tasted both sides of the coin.” Ramsey said.
He further said “Yeah, those moments; those terrible moments when we had nothing and we were living off people. People were just helping us out. There were times we didn’t have food to eat three or four days. You haven’t eaten and your stomach is rumbling but you don’t have any place to go. There was a time I lived on the street, in shops. There was a time I slept under the bridge. It was unfortunate that there were no records so that we can have memories we could play back now. To me, I am so extremely grateful that I went through it. At that time I hated everybody around me. In fact, I used to question why God was doing this to me. But I think God knew that I needed this for my future.
“My growing up was like tasting the two sides of a coin. When I said tasting the two sides of a coin; I mean tasting being a rich man and a poor man. I grew up with my mother, and with a silver spoon, I had it all. When I began to realize that I had good things to show off, everything disappeared. We started from grace to grass; that has helped me a lot because it totally balanced the equation of life. It gives me confidence in all spheres. For instance, I can hang out with the enlightened or the rich. I can mingle with them very easily without any complication or complex whatsoever.
“Also, if it is the low class or poor people, I can mingle very easily with them. I can eat a fantastic dinner in a huge, expensive restaurant and I can go eat amala at a buka and I would not feel anything. I don’t care being a popular Actor or a role model. I am a role model to everybody.” He disclosed.
This is a big lie my friend. After all u are a graduate so how did u make it through school and all. please look for another lie to tell. This one no work at all

I think Ramsey should be given credit for coming clean with his background. I believe his story should serve as an inspiration to most youths passing through the trials of life.
I used to know this guy at station bus stop Iju Road to be precise playing snooker on the street. Although he has always been naturally clean but then I used to see him in the company of that young LASU boy that gained admission at the age of 14 yrs and even one of his friends in the movie industry now and some other guys there on the street at the bus stop playing snooker. This was in the mid or late 90s.
So I think he should be commended.

You are only recounting the life of most Africans - then and now. Poverty is widespread in the continent and nearly everyone has one tale of woe or another.
P.S - I think the wiord is becoming tired of Africans and their pleas of poverty!!!!!
