Ruth: If I can recall right, that may be in 2008

CM: where are you based?
Ruth: I am based in yaounde but I move around a lot. Stagnant settings kinda bore me J

Ruth: that would be Obsession by Binam Studios

CM: You were in London last year after being nominated for best upcoming actress in ZAFAA how did it go?
Ruth: it was amazing, totally serene. I was honoured to meet actors and actresses I have adored watching. I have kept in touch with a lot of them and it has helped me grow my art.

CM: You are young, beautiful and one of the most sorted actress in Cameroon what is your secret?
Ruth: haha, really? Well to put it in one word: GOD. He is always there for me, helping me make the right decisions. He has seen me through my ups and downs and the light at the tunnel is always glaring J

CM: Do you think your skills and talent has been given enough exposure so far?
Ruth: I don’t think so. You don’t see Hollywood knocking down my door do you? J It’s a process and we are getting there
CM: Do you think producers need to invite Nollywood actresses to help expose our Actresses?
Ruth: that depends on what they do once they get here. For Cameroonian talent to be show cased, I believe nollywood actresses or actors should feature, not star!

CM: Who will you say is your best director in CFI? Ruth: I cant really pin-point. The different directors have their strengths in their different genres: be it glamour, thriller or epics 

CM: Who will you say is your best Producer in CFI?
Ruth: mmm, don’t really know

CM: Who will you say is the best DOP in CFI?
Ruth: I would say Penjo Pete

CM: in acting who will you consider your role model?
Ruth: easy one. Genevieve Nnaji and that’s because she is her own woman talented, strong, yet appealing to all

CM: You do music and have worked with JOVI, SINE, X-Malaya etc, how do you manage the two industries? Ruth: its not very different. You have to become a character for either of them to work. I always become what I have to be so that the right emotion can be conveyed

CM: You have so far had 6 Award nominations, in CEA, ZAFAA, Ecrans Noirs etc how do you feel?
Ruth:  I feel motivated to work harder. Don’t get me wrong, I am honored but I am not yet at the top of my game 

CM: If you were to propose some changes you will like to see in CFI, what will they be?
Ruth: I would like to see attitude changes: recognizing every individual talent for what they are and giving mutual respect to their artistry

CM: where do you see yourself in 5years as an actress?
Ruth: settled with a family but still working my butt off

CM: Which has been your worst shooting experience so far in CFI?
Ruth: can’t really point fingers but I would give hints- crappy hotel, horrible food, poor time management, geez

CM: What is your advice to young aspiring actresses?
Ruth: just be true to yourself, if you get into show biz for the wrong reasons, it will eat you whole and spit you out in pieces. You need to love what you do

CM: where can Cameroonians out of Cameroon get copies of your movies?
Ruth: you can get them at Residence Carlos in Buea, Magic Touch in yaounde and Buea and at the various production houses
