Description

The launch was graced by many industry stalwarts, businessmen, and politicians, including John Dumelo, Adjetey Anang, Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, and Becca. Also present were media personalities, including Manasseh Azure Awuni, Sammy Forson, and GhanaWeb Entertainment Editor Benefo Buabeng, popularly known as Abrantepa. If, like me, you were gagging after seeing“Genevieve Nnaji and the Rest” as the title of the book’s 14th chapter, then I’m sorry to disappoint you. It’s not like I was expecting something scandalous about my unproblematic queen, but not everyone in this book has been mentioned for good, so there were some mild heart palpitations.

This book is not an ordinary autobiography. It is a search for an answer to a question that has nagged the author since her childhood. It chronicles a journey that starts unassumingly but auspiciously in Dansoman, gets gloomy and bleak after Aggrey Memorial AME Zion Secondary School in Cape Coast, and sets the stage for the author’s struggles; a struggle against failure and the desertion that comes with it, a struggle which later becomes the fight against the pitfalls of fame and success. Assignments from teachers, or what we often called homework, were supposed to be done at home. If we had a favourite programme on television or an important outing and didn’t want the assignment to interfere with our programme, we squeezed some time and did it in school so our day and night would be cleared for our personal stuff. The teacher’s assignment on whether Eugene and I were related was not a conventional assignment, and I did not have anything special to attend to at home, but I could not resist the urge to start it right from school. I have covered quite a distance, but what I envisage before me is more ambitious than what is behind me. So, I am not writing this because I think I have peaked. It is said that a person’s speed in the battle of life is determined by the speed of his or her pursuer. That which is determining the speed of my run started its vicious and supersonic pursuit before I was born. I have been running in silence, apart from a few hints I have dropped here and there in some major media interviews. In the 14th chapter titled “Genevieve Nnaji and the rest”, Yvonne Nelson refers to the veteran actress as “my unproblematic queen”. She talks about her time working with Genevieve Nnaji on the set of a movie titled “To Love and to Cherish” and describes how great it was working with the screen goddess.The assignment he gave us that day meant different things to Eugene and me. To Eugene, it meant exactly what the teacher said—he should ask his parents. In my case, I had no parents. I had only a parent. Eugene had a father and a mother to ask, but I had only a mother. I would later discover that Eugene, like me, had actually only one parent who was in the position to know the answer.

I could never talk openly about until I decided to write this book. I have run and completed some races. In others, I have faltered and crashed. All of that has shaped me and made me the woman I am. I intend to show those who look up to me the scars of my falls, with the hope that they may avoid the landmines that nearly ended my life. From pg. 9, I knew she was someone who will always take accountability when it presents itself with time. The drama and the twists and turns of this moving story have all the markings of a spell-binding movie script, except that the protagonist, who is an actor, is contending with a reality that intermittently soaks her pillow with tears,” the review said.. But while a lot of the drama trailing the book has focused on her romantic and failed relationships, the book’s main inspiration comes from from Yvonne Nelson’s relationship with her parents. Her mother had claimed a certain man named Oko Nelson was Yvonne’s father all her life despite the man’s complaints that he wasn’t. For years, Yvonne and her alleged father were estranged over the belief that he didn’t claim her. It wasn’t until Mr Nelson was ill that her mother finally revealed that he wasn’t her father. The actress describes the pain that followed this revelation and how her alleged father’s death further compounded it. The discovery of her true paternity gave birth to the title of the book, ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson’. The surname she bore over many years wasn’t her real surname. I am not Yvonne Nelson is a new book launched by Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson to share her success story.Since its release, the book has dominated social media trends, sparking controversies about her alleged affair with a top Ghanaian rapper. The book has been praised for its honesty and its insight into the Ghanaian celebrity world. It has also been criticized for its graphic details of Nelson’s private life.
