In neighbouring Ghana, John Dumelo is a prominent film star. The 28-year-old actor enjoys a cult following in the former Gold Coast and lately Nigeria.
He has featured in several movies in the Ghana film industry and ranks among the highest paid.
A graduate of civil engineering, Dumelo is currently dating the daughter of a former president of the Nigeria Bar Association.
Light-skinned and lovely, Nnenda, his love interest, is also a lawyer and schooled in Ghana.
John Dumelo is the latest screen idol to set hearts racing amongst the Ghanaian (and even Nigerian) female population. Following the frequent presence of caramel complexion brothers on Ghanaian movie screens, John was a breath of fresh air to emerge within the Ghanaian film industry.
A tall, dark, and handsome man representing for all the chocolate coloured brothers, and causing the majority of female fans to fall for him, the bonus part of all this is his incredible acting credentials.
The only son and the youngest of three children, Mr Dumelo first received his big break as a seven-year-old at Christ the King International School in Accra. It was at this school the producers from the GAMA Film company visited in 1991 to find children who would be suitable for roles in their film ‘Baby Thief.’ John and his older sister were some of the lucky few to be selected, with John eventually securing one of the lead roles in the movie as Saka.
