Of course as Ghanaians, our sense of judgement is clouded by absurdity and affiliation—and I will continue to repeat this until we decided to employ critical thinking when an issue crops up.
Over the weekend, GhanaCelebrities.Com broke the news that, the apartment of Yvonne Nelson at the Redrow Developments Limited’s estate at the East Legon Hills in Accra has been disconnected by ECG for running illegal power connections and non payment of bills together with others.
The important of this report is not just the 41 estate house which were disconnected for non-payment of bills and illegal connections but also, Yvonne Nelson together with the CEO of the same estate were key players of the recent #DumsorMustStop Vigil which was staged in Ghana—-as a protest against the power outages.
Beyond the illegality of this action, how can someone living in an apartment under illegal connection or non-payment of bills and another who is the CEO of an estate company operating 41 houses under illegal connection/non payment of bills match against power outages—when one of the problems of the power outages is the fact that ECG is in debt, affecting its efficient operation?
A Ghanaian does not pay her bills or lives under illegal connection and another has 41 houses running on illegal connection and yet, same Ghanaians go out there to protest against a problem partly caused by their own illegalities? This is epic hypocrisy and the many of this is why our country is deeply in an apocalyptic state.
After our report following which our journalist who was investigating the issue further was arrested and detained, the CEO of Red Row Estate-Christopher Aryeetey issued a statement full of lies to cover up his illegality, saying, only 12 of their houses were disconnected and that did not include the apartment of Yvonne Nelson.
Today, ECG has confirmed to Graphic that, the above statement is a complete lie and in fact, they disconnected 41 properties at Redrow Developments Limited’s estate at the East Legon Hills in Accra last week for illegal connections and non-payment of bills.
Instead of many Ghanaians looking at our report deeper and come to terms with the fact that, if as a country we want to move forward—we ought to stop such shenanigans; pay our electricity bills and end illegal connections, they continue to defend the indefensible.
The electricity company of Ghana has been plunged into a huge debt owning to the fact many Ghanaians are not paying their bills and others running on illegal connections—yet the same Ghanaians expect to have reliable and efficient power supply.
It’s such dishonesty and the later attempt to cover up with lies and intimidation by the CEO of Red Row Estate-Christopher Aryeetey and Yvonne Nelson, also championed by millions of Ghanaians that have stalled our progress as a country. It’s just not our leaders, we are the true problems—and it starts with our thinking faculties.
With this confirmation, the social media argument will certainly not be it’s a lie—Yvonne Nelson’s power was not cut for illegal connections or non payment of bills again. It will be, she is not liable because it’s an estate.
Of course, only a Kangaroo will come to such a conclusion. If you live in an apartment with illegal connection or consuming electricity and not paying bills—it’s my mother who ought to be liable, right? Even if you are paying bills to an estate management company who is not giving it ECG, you are liable because the contract of electricity provision and consumption is with you and ECG. If you go for a middle man to handle your business (Agent), you are liable for the actions or omossions of this middle man.
The again, why didn’t Yvonne Nelson, the patriotic citizen now called Yaa Asantewaa report the illegal connections in thee estate to the ECG? Is this not a civic duty? And why did the estate issue that statement full of lies—a typical Ghanaian approach to the truth.
We will never move forward as a country unless we begin to buy into critical thinking!
I dedicate the below song to all of us…

Oh Yvonne Nelson you see your shame. I am sure the estate CEO is foking her because why is he trying so hard to lie. He said 12 houses now it has become 41. He said no Yvonne now there is Yvonne house in there. oh my people in Ghana. Apart from koko, I don’t miss that country one bit
This is why GC rocks. Chris how do you even get to know all this info? This disconnection break news is epic and a slap on the face of madam Nelson the Dumsor queen. I was supporting her Dumsor initiative but with this? I am running away from her. She is not any different from the rotten potatoes.
Chris why did you add the Bob Marley song. You are so interesting. I love it. Check your email Mr. Are you back from Cannes?
really? why do you keep coming here if I may ask? As Chris rightful said, first you people said Yvonne Nelson’s apartment was not part now there is a big U turn which is, shyt, she is part. Let’s argue that she is not liable.
I have read the entire article and no where was it stated that Yvonne’s house has been disconnected for illegal connection.Maybe u have to screenshot it here for us to see.Clearly yr agenda is not working and the only thing left for u now is to direct traffic to yr site for money.I can see credibility is no longer in yr dictionary.Yvonne has made you rich for these past few weeks.She was on Yfm yesterday obviously enjoying herself so keep on making money in her name.
Yes he will keep making money from Yvonne Nelson’s stupidity. That’s wat smart bloggers do. Now, get out of here since u re also making Gc rich by reading n commenting on this block. You want to devt yet u hate
Don’t bring yr stupidity on me,u bootlicker.I’m sure it’s either u need lenses or u’re simply dumb.Smart bloggers my foot.If he’s smart enough let him go to court with his so called law degree that he brags about.Nonsense.
Can I please ask how old are you? I read this website many times a day but I hardly comment because I find some of the discussions a bit problematic.
Do you really think everyone who studies law or smart at law must or goes to court? Have you heard of something called Law Scholars? They do not go to court.
There are many people with law degress, post gradutate law degrees (like Mr. Chris) and doctorate who do not go to court.
My own husband is Law professor, he does not go to court but rather a legal scholar. Does it mean he is not smart?
Do you understand what it takes to get a degree in law and further go to have a post graduate degree? Can you begin to respect the young man while expressing your opinion on a platform he created?
Why don’t you safe yourself the head ache and stop visiting his blog if you think he is not smart? I find the young man interesting and intelligent. I don’t want to tell you my age but I have 3 children, one is 25 years old.
Some of the comments like yours does not help discussing of issues. Let me end on the note, not every one who studies law goes to the court room. Majority in fact don’t end in courts.
If he’s your relative or friend advise him to stop attacking people senselessly in the name of blogging because they also have loved ones.I’m not a big fan of Yvonne but she’s also someone’s daughter friend,sister etc who also has a degree just like him.So if Chris doesn’t want to be attacked he should stop these needless attacks on the lady.It’s not fair.At least for once she did something good.If he can’t praise her then he shd leave her alone.
Another fool who cannot read in between the lines. So you expect ECG to tell you that in plain english even when they said, Yvonne Nelson as individual should not be blamed? If her house was not disconnected why are they saying she must not be blamed? Use your empty coconut head sometimes
Where did ECG mention Yvonne’s name?I’m sure u haven’t even read it.U’re not even sure of what u’re saying but out of foolish pride u’re here stating it on authority that she was disconnected based on assumption and illogical inferences. U can lead the police to her house so u go and arrest her since u have the solid evidence.Silly boy.
You really think Chris cares about what you are saying? If he cares, he would have banned you. So just spare the other readers the unnecessary comments because Chris can ban you from commenting or not allow your comments to go through. The fact that he allows it means he doesn’t care and you are just making noise.
However, if you continue attacking other readers, you will be banned from commenting. Have the decency.
Ban me if u like.Afterall I make money for u by visiting this site.Me attacking others?Such hypocrisy coming from u.U think u have the sole right to attack and malign everyone u hate in the name of blogging but u don’t want a response with threats of ban?Go ahead.Afterall I’ve spoken the truth which u hate.If u can’t take fire why should u throw it 1st?
Who said Yvonne Nelson was an electrician.?? When her bills was comin’ in cheap she shudda known there was something wrong… She helps fuck ECG over by not payin’ the right bills and turns around with that LIAR(sark) and what are they sayin’.??#dumsormuststop.?? Jokes.!! Once we get our heads way outta our a$$e$ and stand for what’s right, I’m so positive #dumsorwillstop…. Like Chris said, if u can’t stand the heat, get the f**k outta the kitchen.!!
Is it that you can’t read or you are plainly foolish? Did ECG not say Yvonne Nelson’s house was disconnected too so why are you saying not hers? Ghanafoa bi ye nkwasiafoa too much.
If you come here because it is ghana celebries then shut the f*k up animal and read with your eyes opened
Hehehehehe ????.!!
Nice article and hope Ghanaians appreciate this blog n Chris.If you hate d truth like we all know most Ghanaians to be please don’t come here exposing your ignorance.Its time we celebrate people like Chris,a young hardworking and principled citizen who just want to see his motherland progress.He loves his country and he is more Ghanaian than most of us at least he stands for the truth and he is able to send his views across,either you love him or hate him.
LOL… so which critical analysis led to this conclusion? Nowhere in GraphicOnline’s article was it reported that Mr. Sampson categorically said Yvonne’s apartment was part of the houses disconnected for non-payment of bills or illegal connection. Is that how desperate yall are now? Grabbing at imaginary straws? Or are we supposed to assume because 41 houses were disconnected, Yvonne’s was part? Talmbout “GC was DAMN RIGHT”… lol smh. Pathetic
