Others have  also lauded him and urged him to fly high the flag of Ghana.<br \/>\nIn  an exclusive interview with Citi FM where he co-hosted \u201cHost of Brunch  In The Citi\u201d with Jessica Opare Saforo, Van Vicker said he is seen to be  acting more in Nigeria because the demands of the job take him there a  lot.  \u201cI haven\u2019t moved to Nollywood. It is just that I happen to do a  lot of my jobs there. It\u2019s a little complicated managing my time between  Ghana and Nigeria and Europe. I know 2011 is a different story. I am  joining the producers Association in Ghana and I will be speaking to  them. In 2011, I will act more Ghanaian movies. It is not as if I am not  acting in Ghana because I don\u2019t want it\u201d he explained.<br \/>\nJoseph  Fiifi Van Vicker noted that he is not in Nigeria because of the  financial gains although he admits that the market there is bigger. The  fair-skinned Actor who is often compared to Nigerian Ramsey Nouah and  fellow Ghanaian actor Majid Michel, denied suggestions that his chances  in Ghana have been blocked by Majid Michel hence his decision to act in  Nigeria.<br \/>\nVicker was born to a Liberian mother and a Dutch father  but has a Ghanaian background. The \u2018Romantic Male Actor\u2019 is married to  Adjoa Van Vicker and they have two lovely daughters and a son.<br \/>\nHe founded and runs the Van Vicker Foundation, an outreach program for upcoming young artists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although it is very obvious that Actor Van Vicker, who started his career in showbiz in Ghana, appears to have found solace in the oil rich state of Nigeria where he has become a star actor, he has told Citi FM that he has not moved to Nollywood.
