A woman has sparked controversy with a wild claim about John Dumelo's marriage. According to her, John Dumelo married his dark-skinned wife, Gifty Mawunya Nkornu, because of his farming business.
The woman, who prefers to remain anonymous, made the claim on social media, stating that John Dumelo's decision to marry a dark-skinned woman was a strategic move to promote his farming business. She alleged that John Dumelo wanted to appeal to the rural folk, who are predominantly dark-skinned, in order to increase his customer base.
Many people have reacted to the woman's claim, with some calling it ridiculous and others defending John Dumelo's right to choose his own partner. Some have pointed out that John Dumelo and his wife have been married for several years and have children together, which suggests that their relationship is genuine.
John Dumelo has not publicly responded to the claim, but his fans and supporters have come out in force to defend him. They argue that the claim is baseless and that John Dumelo's marriage is a private matter that should be respected.
The claim has also sparked a wider conversation about racism and colorism in Ghana. Some people have pointed out that the claim perpetuates negative stereotypes about dark-skinned people and reinforces the notion that light-skinned people are more desirable.
It's worth noting that John Dumelo has been a vocal advocate for farmers' rights and has used his platform to promote agriculture in Ghana. While it's possible that his farming business may have benefited from his marriage, it's unlikely that this was the sole reason for his decision to marry his wife.
