Yvonne Nelson hints second ‘DumsorMustStop’ vigil
Yvonne Nelson
Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has hinted yet another ‘DumsorMustStop’ to raise concerns about the recent erratic power supply in Ghana.
The actress took to twitter to express her intentions to lead another campaign as it happened in 2015 when the country faced similar power crisis.
She expressed disappointment at government for the crisis which she stated had affected many livelihoods.
In her tweet on April 22, 2024, Nelson called on Imani Ghana, a civil society group, to join forces for a fresh demonstration to highlight the significant contribution of IMANI to the success of the previous campaign.
Nelson criticised the government and accused them of taking Ghanaians for granted.
Her tweet read: “Imani Ghana, can we organise another vigil? I’ve been waiting for you to reach out like you did years back. Your team made our demo a success, I’m reaching out myself. The NPP and its leadership @ NAkufoAddo have taken Ghanaians for granted. #DUMSORMUSTSTOP.”
The hashtag #DUMSORMUSTSTOP, which gained prominence during the online protests against erratic power supply, has since resurfaced.
Though the ‘dumsor’ crisis has been felt across the country with many calling for a timetable to plan their activities, the government has remained adamant.

Osanju is dead
Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
