Ghanaian TV host/actress,
Joselyn Dumas is the latest addition to reality series, 'Lekki Wives' – she talks about her role in a recent interview with Ovation.
Here is excerpt;
How
was filming on the set of the successful "Lekki Wives". Is working on
TV in Nigeria dramatically different from Ghana?
No, we are so alike; we are
cousins; Nigerians and Ghanaians are so alike, the only difference is our
names. I played a lead character role
and I’m a new wife that has been introduced in this season. It was very different, I wouldn’t say it was
challenging as I’ve just come off and have learnt so much on the ‘Adams Apples’ set. I thank GOD for Shirley Frimpong-Manso as if
she hadn’t given me that chance I would have sacked on "Lekki Wives’. It was good, a great experience and I think
that the only challenge that I have is I was trying to get some Nigerian words
to roll off my tongue and it just wouldn’t roll (laughs heartily). That was the
only challenge.
Are
you meant to be a Nigerian?
Well I am supposed to be a
Nigerian wife or I guess they have not actually established where I am from but
I am a Lekki wife and my husband is Nigerian so you would assume that there are
certain words that I would have probably picked up from him already, like waka
etc. It was so hilarious but Blessing Effiong-Egbe the Director/Producer is an
amazing talent, she’s young and she reminds me of Leila Djansi and Shirley
Frimpong-Manso of Ghana, truly amazing teacher.
I feel that every set I go on, I learn something new and I tend to learn
so much on set. I was working with them
in Nigeria and they were so nice.
Is
your screen husband nice?
He is gorgeous, he is good
looking but very sleazy, oh GOD.
Do
you think the Nigerian audience likes you?
I think that Nigerians
recognise talent.
Spill
the beans Joselyn
We were a family on the
cast, we are six wives; three of us are quiet and the other three, well
whatever but the three of us that were close were close. I think that Africa is the new entertainment
destination of the world because we are
taking this whole entertainment thing to a whole different dimension in a very
positive way and I like what I am seeing because there is a new breed of Producers,
Actors, Directors, Cameramen etc. That’s
exactly what I saw in Nigeria. There is so much unity regardless that I was
from Ghana. There was no hassle. I
didn’t feel like I was from another Country, at a point I forgot that I was
Ghanaian.
