Rapper D-Black has strongly disagreed with actor John Dumelo’s allegations that government budgeted millions to celebrate this year’s Independence Day on Tuesday, March 6.
The rapper, born Desmond Blackmore, believes unlike the past National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration, the current government didn’t spend on this year’s celebrations.
“The government didn’t budget millions to celebrate Ghana Independence this year bros. Presido said nope! No need. However, last 2,3,4,5 years ago ….,” D-Black said in a response to John Dumelo, who said Ghana has nothing to celebrate as it turned 61 on Tuesday, March 6.
John Dumelo, who campaigned for the NDC in the 2016 elections, in a tweet on Tuesday, stated that it is a total waste of money to celebrate Independence Day when people lack schools and computers to study.
“On 2nd thoughts, there’s nothing to celebrate. Pupils lie on their stomachs to study in Yikurugu, UER (Upper East Region), teachers teach IT with no computers all over the country etc. Yet we budget millions to celebrate 6th March? Ghana without aid starts with us getting our priorities straight,” he said.
After D-Black’s rebuttal of John Demelo’s claim, the actor quizzed the rapper, “You know the budget?”
D-Black, who had declared support for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2016 elections, quickly retorted, “Budget for…? What actually is going on?… What exactly is the government doing…? Bro, this is the quietest Ghana Independence I’ve seen in years.”
Not satisfied, Mr Dumelo quickly responded, “Ah Black paaaa….let’s meet again next year wai.”
D-Black alleged that the NDC government spent more on such celebrations during their tenure.
“Make the people of Ghana list the ridiculous expenses made on Ghana Independence in previous years for u. And then compare. the past government during the era of dumsor spent on scarves, cloth, celebration concerts etc when business were failing and basic necessities for the people were.”

Since when did Dumelo know that there is nothing to celebrate about Independence, wait for the Special Kwasi Peter and Nsawam awaits you, ofuoee
I think Dumelo is having sleepless nights over the Special Prosecutor. When he is hauled before the Special Prosecutor, he will lament that because he asked of the Ghana@61 budget, the government has sent him to the Special Prosecutor. But tell him he will surely account for the monies he collected from NDC to go round the country to campaign and in addition the 2 V8 cars he just got from Mahama and his wife. Dumelo, you can run but you cannot hide.
And what does Dumelo know about budget? when he was chopping Nyafu nyafu from the previous govt did he consider any budget for the pupils in Yikurugu lying on their bellies? Were the V8s for him and his girl friend budgeted for? Come again Dumelo. this is an indication that your mind is just a peanut size. When you were chopping the money form JDM and Lordina, Yikurugu didn't matter but now that you are about facing special Kwesi Peter, you have started directing your anger at budget for Independence. Ofuii!!
D-Black ask your bro that was he the one who prepared the budget. He has forgotten the cars and monies given to him to campaign? If he is not getting now he is talking. He should keep silent. Go and help the older people in your village or hometown.
You are both heading for the slums, continue with your politics and not concentrate on your careers!!!
BIG UPS D-BLACK. PLEASE REMIND YOUR BRO THAT THE V8 ALONE STOLEN TO HIM COULD HAVE TRANSFORMED A WHOLE COMMUNITY WITH THOSE BASIC AMENITIES.
