Renowned Ghanaian actress, producer, and director Yvonne Okoro has stirred online controversy following her candid remarks about preferring Nigerian men over Ghanaian men. The conversation unfolded during her recent appearance on TV3 Ghana’s program with host Giovanni Caleb.
In the interview, Yvonne highlighted emotional traits such as love and affection as the foundation of her preference, dismissing assumptions that financial considerations were a factor.
It’s not just about money. It’s about affection, love, and everything that matters in a relationship. Care, respect, and devotion are what truly count, not material wealth or abusive behavior.”
Yvonne also took the opportunity to commend fellow Ghanaian actor Majid Michel, humorously describing him as “more Nigerian than Ghanaian.” She attributed his admirable qualities to his frequent work in Nigeria.
Majid Michel acts like he’s from Nigeria. Based on his behavior, I believe he’s Nigerian. Perhaps it’s because he spends so much time shooting in Nigeria, but he possesses all the attributes I mentioned,” Yvonne said with a laugh.
Her remarks have ignited a lively debate on social media, with opinions sharply divided. Some fans applauded her honesty and agreed with her perspective, while others criticized her for seemingly undermining Ghanaian men.
Yvonne’s candidness has once again placed her at the center of public discourse, sparking discussions on cultural values, relationships, and national identity in West Africa.
