The bread seller whose picture generated a lot of backlash for actor John Dumelo doesn’t seem perturbed by the media frenzy or the post by the actor.
“I want to create businesses and motivate the young guys… I love brands, I’m a marketing guy and that’s what I want to do when I turn 45 or 60”, he stated when GhanaWeb.com sought his reaction to John Dumelo’s post.
Godfred Obeng Boateng is an entrepreneur who owns the A1 Bakery, a business he’s been running for the past 6years but stated that he enjoys joining his workers on the streets to get the feedbacks firsthand.
“I’m getting to know what people want, I’m getting to know the moods of people, their emotion… I really wanted be a part of the hawkers to know how the whole thing is about and get a feel of it,” the KNUST graduate added.
John Dumelo earlier posted on his Instagram page a photo of the A1 Bakery CEO, Godfred Obeng Boateng selling bread on the street and wrote: “Just saw a KNUST grad hawking in traffic…What went wrong?” Some Ghanaians, who were not amused descended heavily on the actor over the post.
Musician A-Plus who was angry over the post charged Dumelo to take it down.
“I’m angry!!! Every day I post my opinion. Today I’m posting my anger. John Dumelo remove this post from Instagram now!!! A bread seller is a human being. You can’t just take pictures of people and post it on your page for attention. A bread seller has right which must be respected. A bread seller is better than an armed robber!!! A bread seller is better than a drug dealer!!! It’s better for a person to hawk on the streets than to indulge in crime. I’m looking for this bread seller. John Dumelo must apologise to him. Or prepare for a legal battle!!!” he posted on his Facebook wall.

hey hey , nobody should blame john dumelo ok, at least he can steal a state V8 without any prosecution or punishment, why wont he laugh at a hard working guy who wont steal like him., if corrupt officials are not punish, sooner than later, they will mock at us all, can someone tell nana 3 pack that enough is enough, the mahama corrupt boys and girls must see themselves in court now, well we cant say more, am watching, 2020 is too close than we may think
I may not have been brought up properly but I am an honest person,I've had an education I am very proud of and by the way I have PARENTS you know ,with an 's'and not parent.And take note that when you use the noun people,it is plural and therefore the verb that follows does not have an 's.'So my retarded friend what you should be typing is 'people who need attention.'Well if in your atrophied brain Domelo is the best actor in Africa that is between you and the gods you worship.
The bread seller did not accept cars that he did not work for, hawking bread is better than stealing from Mother Ghana.
Dumelo did not finish his university education. He should go back and complete it. He is a disgrace and a moron
John dumelo is soo retarded..focus on ur dead acting career...the bread seller is probably richer dan u
I guess you were not brought up properly, I pity your parent. Yes Dumelo is one of the Best in Africa. Go and burn the sea if you don't agree. If a pic from dumelo can make this guy popular. He should continue to take picture of people who needs attention.
This guy is so handsome. God bless you for the good work you are doing. Many should emulate and do the honourable instead of waiting for the government to employ them. Yes, its better than stealing, prostitution and indulging in Sakawa or what ever they call it. Its bad John mocked you but brother, it will turn out to be in your favour. Where ever you are, may the God Lord bless you, protect you and keep you safe in all your endeavours. Go higher and know that the CEO of Koko King was equally mocked but he is making it BIG. Stay bless MR. G. O. Boateng.
@funny.Your brain is as puny as your name is funny.You call this chap an actor?In Hollywood this freak will not even land a part in a crowd scene.What Domelo sought to do was to mock a self motivated ,hard working young person and that peeves me a lot.Not every young man can sell his conscience to a totally ***barred word*** and corrupt leader and begin climbing trees like a red patas monkey to hang banners of a political entity that exists only to cheat and st3a1 from the people.My pain though is that this Domelo is still walking free instead of becoming a guest of the GOG with free accommodation at Nsawam Prison.These are the people who give Ewes a bad name.
They are at it again, if dumelo had not shown this boy who will have interviewed him. He has at least archive his reason for getting authorities and stomach journalist like the one reporting the story to pay attention to such people. Thumps up John keep up the good work. The first actor in Africa to get 5 million likes on facebook. The more they try to disgrace hime the more God make him popular.
Proud of you man.Wish many more young people had your drive and attitude.This is what change is all about you don't have to join a political party after graduation to make it.Really proud of you bro.THAT ***barred word*** F001 SHOULD BE THE LAST PERSON TO POST THAT N0NS3NSE.People like that think real life is singing the praises of kleptomaniacs like Mahama to make it in life.You my friend have self esteem ,dignity and pride.
