Popular Ghanaian-Nigerian actress Yvonne Okoro has openly expressed her preference for Nigerian men over their Ghanaian counterparts, citing their romantic nature and generosity as key reasons. Speaking on the Ghanaian TV show Showbiz 360 alongside fellow actor Majid Michel, Okoro described her ideal partner as one who combines love, affection, and generosity.
“Nigerian men or Ghanaian men? Nigerian men are better,” she said. “I didn’t say Nigerian men because of money. That’s not the only thing. Money is there, but love and affection are very important. If they give me money and there’s no love or they’re disrespectful, I wouldn’t want that. I want the whole package. That’s my kind of man. I want everything.”
Okoro, born in Tamale, Ghana, to a Nigerian father and Ghanaian mother, has carved a niche for herself in both Nollywood and Ghollywood. Her perspective reflects her deep connection to both cultures but emphasizes her admiration for the romantic and expressive qualities she attributes to Nigerian men.
The actress has starred in numerous movies across West Africa, earning accolades for her talent and versatility. Her candid remarks have sparked debates on social media, with fans and followers sharing their views on the dynamics of relationships in the region.
Okoro’s bold take on relationships adds another layer to her vibrant personality, making her a relatable figure to her audience. She remains a prominent voice in the entertainment industry, bridging the gap between Ghanaian and Nigerian cinema.
