Congratulations Van. You were just damn lucky, but wait till you are Ramsey's age, then you would realise that you cannot compete with him. Although you won the award, Ramsey remains the diamond of Nollywood, and is in a class of his own.

Wonu Darling, everyone has his time. Ramsey had left acting and Van made him to come back. So acknowledg what this dude is doing. Again, to compare Van to Ramsey is a testament of Van's hard work cos, Van has only be acting for 2 years now- while Ransey has been in the acting seen for 10yrs?- yet he get compared to people who've been acting for decade. Go Boy, ur the Lion King. Just roar.
emefojo | 12/16/2009 6:06:07 PM
All the guys in this category are smashing and good actors. It only happens that one person will surely win. Van, congratulation. Keep up with the good work. Nollywood is coming of age, especially when you have enough actors of repute to compete in the categories of the awards. We are getting to a stage when you will feel honor just for been nominated like in hollywood. That is what I amm talking about. Congratulations to all you guys.

This is absolute nonesense for Van Vicker to have received such award from a Nigerian Magazine. You can not have "A Nigerian" receive such award in Ghana even when they deserve it. Nigeria your liberal approach is NONESENSE, WAKE-UP

@ Steven Samuels, dear why this negativity? For someone who pretend to live in the States, ur really retarded. Don't u see French, English, German and etc actors winning Oscars in Hollywood? Hollywood being that liberal makes it the best cos u draw skills from the whole world. Also, the United States is considered powerful cos it's liberal and open, therefore tap skills from all corner of the planet. Nollywood can only get better when it opens up and not the opposite. Remember, when Nollywood was more naija, people got tired of it until ur own naija actors started quiting. Stars like Jym Ike stayed, then Van came in and everything has exploeded again. So being liberal can only make Nollywood grow bigger and well known. So Grow up Darling
Steven | 12/18/2009 7:13:21 AM | Missouri-USA
Your view good for the choir and by the way no one at this platform is retarded. Also not French, German, English, South African etc. get awarded in Hollywood under "Foreign Category" And if they have outside such category although they might be from Frence, Germany, England, South Africa it must be that they are citizen. Van Vicker is great for "Foreign Actors" Category
Onome | 12/18/2009 6:25:53 PM | Dublin-Ireland
Steven,l applauded your view.Nonetheless, l would like to know under which category are they nominated and awarded?Forumites,permit me to say this,is not just an handsome look but your ability to interpret and showcase your acting skills.I' m not a detractor, either a hater, and without prejudice.l would like to state here emphantically that, Van Vicker is not a match in all ramifications to Ramsey Nouh,Desmond Elliot in whatever category these has been awarded.Like Steven rightly pointed out,in the western world for instance (in hollywood),there are categories in which foreign actors are awarded.To me this is a far cry from the truth.

why crying ? you can go and burn the lagoon f**l , all Nigerians are not like you racist f**l, Those who gave the award are intelligent , rich , matured and famous than you boot licker, do you know how many nigerians are Honoured in Ghana? ask Okay Bakasi and others they are always in ghana, for awards. Can you imagine one of Ghana's big dual quarage street is named after a Nigerian President Obasanjo,?( Obasanjo Highstreet) People like you have let Ghana's fever overtaken you so you cant even eat, drink or sleep without calling Ghana's name, Go to school and get a life

Why do you want to bring confusion between Ghana and Nigeria. We have grown pass that age. We do a lot of collaborations these days and the friendship between both countries is stronger than before. For your information, Nigerians are awarded in different fields in Ghana. eg music. Go get your records straight. D'bang was awarded sometime back during the Ghana music awards. We are one people now so don't try to put bad ideas into peoples head. God bless us all. Long live Ghana, Long live Nigeria. Amen.

I think you should tell this to the perpetuators of the nagative media campaign in Ghana against Nigeria or so call foreigners. You should also note that there were move to ban all nigerian movies in Ghana and the land border were restricting such entering. I am a Sierra Leone but I felt bad when Africa act white
Arosa | 1/23/2010 11:53:32 AM | MK, -UK
If we should look back years, Ghana and Nigeria have been doing the same things over the years. Early 60's saw Nigerians coming over to Ghana to work and in the early 80's saw Ghanaians also doing the same thing. Ghana and Nigeria hosting the Africa Nations Cup together eventhough, they do not share the same borders and it was very successfull. Nigeria might be bigger and richer than Ghana but we are holding our own.So stop the nonsense, and currently there thousands of Nigerians owning properties in Ghana and we are not complaining, so shut up.

who cares if you are losing your breath. the award was not for beauty contest so stop this s**tty ramsey is the most handsome f**k. the award was for someone who did a really hard work for the YEAR. only a year and not a decade. this award does not make van a better actor than ramsey. van was only the best in the year

Thank you both for stating my point. The guy is just a pretty face and nothing more. His acting needs work, major work. He needs to go back to school. What has he done to affect society? Are you kidding me? What about RMD or Jim Iyke? They have done something for society, other than great acting. Of Ramsey Noah, Mike Ezuronye, Nonso Diobi and Desmon Elliot, he won! What was this, a pretty face contest. Those actors are far more greater than he is, and it's a damn shame that quality actors don't get the praise they deserve.

why are you so emotional? RMD was not even active in the year under observtion and you wanted him to win the award. this award was for a year and not a lifetime. we all know that RMD is arguably, the best of the best but for that particular year, van was the best. get it straight dude

AFTER ALL VAN VICKER IS VERY HARD WORKING ACTOR LIVING GHANA TO SPEND MOST OF HIS TIME IN NIGERIA I HOPE PEOPLE SHOULD LEARN TO BE OBJECT AND STOP BE NAIVE IN THEIR COMMENTS. CONGRATS VAN VICKER ALL THE OTHER NOMINEES ALSO DESERVE MY CONGRATULATIONS. LONG LIVE GHANA NIGERIA COLLABORATION

THIS AWARD MUST HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO VAN FOR JUST BEING THE ONLY GHANAIAN IN THE CATEGORY OR FOR ACCOMPLISHING A DOZEN OR MORE MOVIES FOR THIS YEAR; IT COULD NOT BE FOR HIS ACTING. HE NEEDS TO TAKE BETTER SCRIPTS AND SOME ACTING LESSONS RATHER THAN TRYING TO OUT DO THE OTHERS WITH THE NUMBER OF MOVIES THEY HAVE DONE. THAT'S MY OPINION ON A MAN'S CAREER!!! FROM MOVIES I HAVE WATCHED THIS YEAR - DESMOND, MKE, NONSO OR RAMSEY DESERVES IT MORE. ON THE OTHER HAND AS A BORNED JAMAICAN - COMMENTS MADE BY NIGERIANS AND GHANAIANS NEED SOME TONING DOWN - AS BLACK PEOPLE WE ALL ARE STRIVING FOR BETTER. ONE LOVE GUYS. LET'S TRY TO CONVICE VAN TO DO SOME ACTING LESSONS OKAY.....
