Why I prefer Nigerian men to Ghanaian men – Actress Ivonne Okoro

Ghanaian-Nigerian actress Yvonne Okoro has opened up about her preference for Nigerian men, citing their generosity and romantic nature as key reasons.  

During a recent appearance on the Ghanaian TV show *Showbiz 360* alongside colleague Majid Michel, Okoro shared her thoughts on what she values in a partner.

“My ideal man is someone who is both romantic and generous,” she said, explaining that Nigerian men often embody these traits more prominently than their Ghanaian counterparts.

The actress’s candid remarks have sparked conversations on social media, with many debating cultural differences in relationships and romance between the two West African nations.

“Nigerian men or Ghanaian men? Nigerian men are better. I didn’t say Nigerian men because of money. That’s not the only thing. Money is there but love, affection is very important. Because if they give me money and there’s no love and they’re very disrespectful, I wouldn’t want that.

“I want the whole package. That’s my kind of man. I want everything.”

Okoro was born in Tamale, Ghana to a Nigerian dad and Ghanaian mother.

She is well known for her roles in both Ghanaian and Nigerian films, continues to charm audiences with her talent and relatability, making her one of the most beloved figures in African cinema.
