Yvonne Nelson’s new book, dubbed ‘I am not Yvonne Nelson’ is currently the most discussed book in Ghana and beyond.
Many are rushing to find pages of the book to read about the life story of the famous actress. What has currently gained public attention as an encounter Yvonne Nelson had with Ghana famous Rapper, Sarkodie in 2010.
But before Sarkodie came to the picture in 2010, Yvonne Nelson had encountered Aziz, her first love. She described Aziz as that unserious student who was sacked from the Achimota Basic School because of his academic performance. But that did not change the love between Yvonne and Aziz.
“My first encounter with love was in the second year of junior secondary school. I fell for Aziz, a boy who joined St. Martin de Porres School from Achimota Basic School. Academically, Aziz was the unserious type. I later gathered that he had been sacked from Achimota Basic School for poor academic performance. That information didn’t dent my love for him”, she indicated.
According to her, Aziz had poor academic records but was good in entertainment. Since Yvonne was also into entertainment, they both clicked along.
“What he lacked in books was made up for in entertainment. He was a member of the Fugees and we mounted the stage to perform together. Aziz was that student who was often punished for the wrong reasons. I was in his circles and it was common to see us punished together for eating in class without cleaning or getting whipped at the assembly for one misbehaviour or the other. He was eventually sacked from St. Martin de Porres School for poor performance”, she added.
The love between Yvonne and Aziz eventually ended after the latter was sacked again for poor performance. She however found another love at the high school.
“I wept when I got home and the reality dawned on me that I wasn’t going to see Aziz again. When asked, I couldn’t say the real reason I cried. Aziz’s disregard for books rubbed off on me a great deal, but I managed to pull through with weak grades that were strong enough to grant me admission to Aggrey Memorial, where I met Fianko Bossman, my high school lover. As fate would have it, Fianko was transferred from Aggrey Memorial, but that didn’t end our relationship.
