Ghanaian actress and film producer, Yvonne Nelson, has disclosed that she is saddened about the poor governance by the current and past administrations in driving a monumental change in the lives of Ghanaians.
Ms Nelson, who was asked to rate the performance of the Akufo-Addo-led New Patriotic Party (NPP) government when she appeared on Class FM Monday, 4 November 2019 said “It’s the same; from the last government [National Democratic Congress (NDC], nothing new”.
In her opinion “leadership in this country…I don’t even know what to say because when I look around me, it saddens me to be Ghanaian”.
She said “we have so much potential, we have everything…There is this neo-colonisation thing going on. We are pretending; we keep covering things and the youth is sleeping, they don’t know what is going on, they don’t read, they don’t ask questions...
Ms Nelson noted that she may consider playing an active role in politics and will not rule out the possibility of being the first female president of the country.
Responding to social media comments about her involvement in politics after being vocal about several developmental issues the multiple award-winning actress said: “Maybe, I will, I will do some politics; it is 50-50 that is why I am back in school doing International Relations”.
Ms Nelson, who produced ‘Single and Married’ in 2012 and ‘House of Gold’ in 2013 articulated that she loves human rights and gender activism as well as tourism. For her, she would like to play an active role in the tourism sector and would not mind spearheading a tourism campaign.
Asked by the host if she was looking at being a Tourism Minister by 2028, she retorted: “I don’t know, maybe the President, you never know, the first female president of Ghana…God just…you know…he is guiding me so I am taking it slow”.
When pushed to confirm her interest in the highest office of the land, Ms Nelson said: “Maybe, you never know, one day”.

You are just an ***barred word*** foooooool to say the least. Was it not this same girl who organized dumsor vigil to bring your party to power and I believe you were praising her by then. Again I say you an ***barred word*** foooooooooool
It is so easy to sit down and complain when you don't understand issues. Very common with those who don't pay their taxes to complain.Tax dodger
BULLLLL SHITTTTTT. GO TO ALATA AND FUCCCK YOUR ALATA PENIS AND YOU WILL KNOW THAT THERE IS A CHANGE
The movie industry has to get back to work. Yvonne is less busy.
what impact have you created so far as a so called Ghanaian celebrity? talk is very cheap
SOMETHING HAS CHANGED,YOU HAVE GIVEN BIRTH.I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT GOES ON WITHIN YOUR HEAD,GET SERIOUS AND DO SOMETHING AND THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT,THINGS ARE CHANGING.
Find a JOBBBB Yvonne!!! No country develops if the citizens don't work hard. The fact that you have resources does not make you reach, we are in a new world order. Maybe instead of you and your friends complaining everyday why don't you talk to Genevieve Nnaji and try and start a series on Netflix like she is doing? Or do short videos like the Kumawood actors are doing? Wont that create at least one source of employment for somebody? Because the lifestyle you girls are living in Ghana de33 it is not sustainable without some serious cashflow.
i dont sleep in darkness anymore ooo
You can re-locate to where things are changing always.For me Ghana has changed for the good tremendously.Get something to do for your life and you will see difference .Nana Addo will not give out V8 to the so called celebrities like Christmas biscuit as somebody did in the last elections.
