Actress Yvonne Nelson has been verified on Twitter, placing her in the league of public figures worldwide to have their accounts given a seal of approval.

She also becomes the first Ghanaian actress to have her account verified, and joins a good number including Rapper Sarkodie and Black Stars Kwadwo Asamoah.

Getting verified by the blu bird corporation’s micro blogging site has become an in-thing, if not a must-have for most celebrities.

Verification is currently used to establish authenticity of identities on Twitter.

The verified badge helps users discover high-quality sources of information and trust that a legitimate source is authoring the account’s Tweets.
