Your Low Judgment Is Just Disappointing – Yvonne Nelson Blasts Gabby Otchere-Darko

Uncategorized Comments Off

Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson yesterday laid Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko on a twitter table and ‘lashed’ him over his ‘low’ and ‘disappointing’ comments on social media.

MyNewsGH.com followed the thread keenly as one followers of Yvonne Nelson took turns to lash the president’s cousin and unofficial social media minister.

Gabby Otchere-Darko had said in a social media post that the Ghanaian movie industry is being unproductive.

He wrote: “I took my time to watch randomly ten Ghanaian movies and never felt so disappointed. It brought home to me one major deficiency in our development. The apparent lack of deliberate consciousness on the part of the creative industry in the development conversation.

The presence of the creative industry appears at best peripheral in Ghana’s development narrative. Our movies, our songs, our arts, by and large, do not impactfully plug into a greater development agenda.

Hollywood, for the best part of a century, has been deliberately used by America to push successfully American cultural “supremacy” agenda; it has been used as an effective instrument of military or economic indoctrination.

But, what has been the underlying consciousness behind our creative industry, if any? What role, for instance, can actors in the creative industry play to define and realize this whole important concept of moving Ghana Beyond Aid? We must elevate consciousness in Ghana if we are serious about winning”.

But Yvonne Nelson didn’t take kindly to the comment.

She had this reply: “Kumawood has created jobs for so many people! It has Put smiles on a lot of faces in our country! Your judgement is just so low! Disappointing!”

She was not done, she ‘kicked’ him more:

“Hello @GabbyDarko is your interview on peacefm online real?? If it is I’m also disappointed! A few of us are pushing really hard for this industry! Since our leaders have also totally abandoned the industry, we contribute too, just like nurses,doctors..etc”

She went on: “How do you even compare Hollywood to our industry! It’s like comparing our economy to theirs! Leadership!!!!! We need structures in place and some encouragement not this! What do we do when TV networks get cheaper content from India and Latin America?” she schooled Gabby.
