Liberian-born actress, Evelyn Louis, has described Nigerian men as “awesome, wonderful” and that “they are like any other man created by God.”
Evelyn, who came to Nigeria in 2014 to pursue her acting career in acting, said that she is not thinking of returning to her country any time soon, saying that she is ready to spend the rest of her life in the country.
She stressed that her dream is to make Nigeria her second home even as she desperately searches for love.
“I will definitely go back to my country someday, even if I’m not going to base there. I will be in and out of the country and make Nigeria my second home.”
On marrying a Nigerian man, the rising actress declared: “it’s not about me, it’s what God wants for me. If God gives me a Nigerian man in marriage, I will marry him. And I will definitely be glad to spend the rest of my life in Nigeria.”
She recalled that people in her country have a very negative impression about Nigeria, adding that they see Nigeria as a home of rituals and witchcrafts.
“Before I came to Nigeria, we used to have a very negative impression about the country. I heard things like: that country is full of rituals and witchcrafts. But as a passion driven person, I didn’t mind what they said to me. Here, I am today. When I arrived in the country, I discovered one needs to be self-disciplined to be able to achieve his or her goal in Nigeria”
While in Nigeria since 2014, she attended PETIT Film Institute, Ajao Estate, Lagos, where she did a professional course in acting before proceeding to another film school at Festac.
She graduated recently from the film school, and already, she has featured in a couple of films, including “American Gift,” Marketing Babes” and others.
According to her, the passion she has for acting informed her decision to relocate to the country. “Before I came to Nigeria, I was a producer in my country. I have this passion for acting right from childhood. And I said to myself since I have passion for acting, I should work on it academically. That was why I came to Nigeria,” Evelyn said. [myad]
