In the wake of the argument regarding Ghanaian women and their ‘silent’ desire for Nigerian men, we focus the spotlight on some female celebrities that have either dated or married a Nigerian.

Some of Ghana’s A-list female entertainers have at a point in their lives, been romantically involved with some Nigerian men.

Some of these relationships ended up in marriage while the others witnessed very scandalous breakups that went viral on social media.

Interestingly, all these relationships seem unforgettable as they keep popping up in recent discussions once in a while.

Let’s take a look at some 'Ghanaian-Nigerian celebrity love affairs' that took social media by storm

Yvonne Nelson and Iyanya

Iyanya and Yvonne Nelson's relationship was one of the most popular in the Ghanaian and Nigerian media.

The ex-lovers started dating in 2012, and their love was in the public eye, especially with events and shows they attended. However, their journey came to an end in 2015.



Yvonne Nelson, attributed their breakup to infidelity on the path of Iyanya, particularly triggered by the instance in which he was involved with actress Tonto Dikeh.

Nearly a decade after their split, issues regarding their relationship were brought back into the public domain after Yvonne Nelson released a memoir in which Iyanya was captured in a whole chapter.
