Ghanaian actress and movie producer Yvonne Nelson has opined on the genuineness of the phrase “I love you.”

The mother of one claims real love is an illusion.

She noted that love is a scam.
The famed actress explained that people, especially men, love women because of what they expect from the woman, sex or money.

“Love is a scam (in reality), and we all know it, isn’t it so?

"I think love is a scam because we are all deceitful. If a person talks about love, there is something they are seeking, be it money or sex; it is conditional, so it is a scam," she said.

When asked in an interview on Accra-based Power FM if she had ever been loved by anyone before, Miss Yvonne noted that her relationships were based on conditions on the part of men.

"I’m not sure I’ve been loved. When you look back, you will realise that it was because of this that’s why he came into my life. "I don’t believe in it," she emphasized.

"I feel like the love I want to express to the other person, they don’t have something they have to give back. So it’s not like I’ve cancelled it and I can never fall in love, but I don’t think there is anyone out there who can give me the same; it is always conditional," Yvonne Nelson added.

If she will ever consider loving anyone, the filmmaker said it has to begin with, "First of all, I look at friendship, and I should be able to…We should be friends, someone I want to spend the rest of my life with; you get along and the rest can follow."

Yvonne Nelson again revealed that men always approach ladies with love proposals just to gain something from them.

"It is just a way of telling you that I want something from you, so they just use the word love, and it is usually the ladies being lied to by the men.

"Love, I am sorry; I am not there yet. I used to love it, but it was like a joke. It is a scam," she stressed.
