May 16, 2016 – Yvonne Nelson: I Don’t Like My Father Oko Nelson Because He Abandoned Me & My Mother
Ghallywood actress Yvonne Nelson told Punch over the weekend that she is not in good terms with her father, Mr Oko Nelson.
According to her, Mr Nelson abandoned her with her mother when she was a baby.
“Because he wasn’t there for me, I didn’t get a chance to develop a relationship with him. We have each other’s numbers but there are absolutely no feelings whatsoever. We actually have an ‘okay’ relationship and it’s not like I won’t talk to him if I see him today.But it ends there because we do not have a relationship. Talking to him is akin to talking to someone you don’t know.” – Yvonne told Punch
Her father is the founder of an old hotel, Nellies Guest House in Dansoman area of Accra Ghana.

TeeBillz and the ilks, I hope you are there. This is exactly what happens when irresponsible men abandon their families and elope with another woman. You forfiet your filial benefits as the father of the family. And you would be a fool if you trace back your steps to then just because you see that they are well off better than you. And you cannot preach love into your children for your own selfish sake. The only kind of love you may get is the kind that God commands us all that we owe one another. But filial love is far from it: you may not even get as much as a teardrop in the event of your death or any other misfortune, because the connexion was not there.

Yvonne, put the rejection behind you and keep an open mind about him. If there is a willingness to explore a relationship with your father, go for it so you won’t spend your life wondering if you made a mistake not trying. If there is lack of warmth towards your father let it be for some wrong he has done to you after you grew up.
The past treatment is your mother’s grieve which she has won by raising a successful daughter in spite of your father’s abandonment. Youth is a time many people make mistakes and take decisions they later in life regret, so forgive your father and move on. It could well be his abandonment that inspired your drive to succeed and viewed from that angle he might unknowingly contribute to your being who you are today. Best of luck to you.

Its never a good legacy to abandon your family when they needed you most.
You ought to be there for them through tick and thin to earn their respect.

Yvonne, your mother is a very beautiful woman I wonder why any man with good eyes will abandon this beautiful apple and daughter, if I am this man, only looking my wife attractive afro hairs with round face to match will make will stand me up, but please little girl, have you make a time one day and called your mother to tell you the whole truth across her heart why your father abandon you and your her? And also been a celebrity, have you asked your father to tell you why he abandon you and your mother? LISTEEN, by saying you don’t like your father means you don’t like your maker, you don’t who made you what you are today. what I thought you could have done is to reconcile your mother and your father than to condemn one side, try to do that because without the presence of your father, responsible family will not allow their son to marry you into their family, I mean responsible family because they will be afraid for such to happen to their son, next time dont come out on social media and tell the world that you don’t like your father and describe him as OWNER OF AN OLD HOTEL IN ACCRRA, Baby Girl go straight and reconcile with your father, for him to give you his fatherly blessing which passes all material passions, God bless you as you do this.
