John Dumelo has described the so-called invasion of Ghanaians actors in Nollywood as a ‘give and take’ affair. According to Dumelo, he doesn’t see the reason why Nigerians are crying about Ghanaians acting in Nollywood since most of the top Nigerian Actors ‘troop’ to Ghana as well. He simply described the situation as ‘they come here and we go there’.
In an interview with peacefmonline.com, he also reacted to the rape allegation leveled against him by nigeriafilms.com. Check out the article below…
John Dumelo Reacts To Rape Allegation
Ghanaian actor John Dumelo who is gradually warming his way into the hearts of many Ghanaian and Nigerian movie lovers, has described an alleged rape story published by a Nigerian website against him as malicious.
John said this when peacefmonline caught up with him over the weekend at the Accra Mall. He said he does not know where the story came from because he has not raped anybody. “If it was true that I have gone to rape somebody in Nigeria like the story said, why is it that I am still walking freely in Ghana? Where is the girl? Who is she? Why are her parents or anybody from Nigeria not calling to ask me about it? He asked.
Asked why he thinks someone can just write and make such a serious allegation about him, John said it might be the work of someone or a group of people who do not like him or perhaps someone who feels threatened. “It might be envy, or someone just wants to get up and write stories about me and Frank Raja (A Director). If it is true, let the girl come to Ghana and report to the police, for them to come and arrest me. Nothing of that sort happened; I think it is a malicious story”, John emphasized.
It will be recalled that John was mentioned as one of the numerous guys who allegedly raped a housemaid mercilessly in Nigeria whiles shooting a film in Asaba, Delta state some weeks back. The story also mentioned Nigerian movie director based in Ghana, Frank Raja, who has also denied the allegation, when peacefmonline spoke to him last week.
Commenting on a statement by a Nigerian producer accusing him and other Ghanaian actors and actresses of invading the Nigerian movie industry, John said anybody who will make that statement does not know what he is talking about. “It is not a matter of invading Nigeria, because I know Mercy Johnson will be coming to Ghana next week to film. Two months ago, Jim Ike and other Nigerians like Chika Ike, Tonto Dike were in Ghana to film as well, so what is the person talking about? It is the same thing.
They come here and we go there, so I do not see why they said we are invading there when they are also coming here,” he said.John added that if you go to Hollywood, people travel all the way to India and Indians also go to America; and Nigeria is just 45 minutes away from Ghana, so nobody should talk about us invading Nigeria.

why are these nigerian complaining? look at the way these same nigerians have taking over ghana doing all sorts of things! what has ghana done about that? they should pls shut the fuck up, because they come to ghana and ghanaians also goes there, so if they don’t want ghanaians to go there, then they should get out of ghana and stay out og ghana period.
@mary j, spot on
@shocker, u hit the nail ryt on the head man..lol
@shocker,
shocker, shut up and stop being a puppet for once.
ANYWAY….the only Nigerians that seem to be complaining are the ones with the already failing careers. they just want something to complain about. the major stars arent even trippin because they are still booking jobs like no tomorrow.
I can not seem to have an understanding of the behavior of your military governments. All you are for the Peace of America. Thank you who won the chance ‘but what concerns me are you that you always get your government to the alternative. I think you have to do the corrupting.
@autores,masa do u read b4 u comment on the posts? every comment u’ve posted on GC seems out of place. u deviate totally from whts being discussed. wht has the movie industry got to do with military governments and Peace of america?
@Opanin, Asem oooooo…lol..Autores is so not normal..lol
@shocker, —-and ‘if you do not always want to gain money to their profession. I offered the job and gain.
@shocker, —-you do not want to be an actor with a lot of money I earn?
@Opanin, —– Yes. And ‘why you go to America and have the gain. People who have the freedom ‘in the heart of the gain has the deserving’ and this worthy ‘could bring you everything you want in Africa. You spoke as if the race disturbs industry. Industry as a race? Nollywood without America is not ‘working. Libya also deserves an actor of Nigeria-Ghana instead of thinking about race and Industry when ‘all America, you should think of extending your power and your profession where you can now’.
@autores,
This guy called Autores is sick in the head, i cant stop laughing at his comments. They are so off beat, what kinds fool is he? First i thought it was a robot but now i believe it is a useless human being.

@Opanin, —but ‘the simple answer. I do my work has always been very good. You? if there ‘a problem for many players must occupy the empty space. I offer the chance to ‘work better in America, but with this I have decided to escape from Ghana to Nigeria or Africa.
@Opanin, ——-I must remind you all that I have the chance ‘to become famous and gain very high gain money for you. I have many friends. The only quid pro quo that I asked you and ‘make me some small pleasure through the military line. Little pleasure in return if your income and ‘just because of me and my friends. Think about the place there ‘for everyone. If you have no place, write to me, ask me, I’m here ‘I do the seriousness’ of your future earnings. WRITE TO ME!
