Ghanaian actor, John Dumelo has made headlines in recent weeks for all the wrong reasons. After a supposed ‘harmless’ tweet about a KNUST graduate hawking bread in traffic which went viral and the subsequent bashing he received from  the public, the man has endured turbulent times in Ghana because of political affiliation.

Perhaps this sums up his emotional message he posted on Instagram today, questioning why people spend all their time gossiping instead of achieving their goals in life.

He wrote: People ask me how I deal with negative comments. I always Tell them, “see, God has given all of us 24 hours in a day, I’m using mine to achieve my set goals and be a better businessman and citizen, so if you will waste an hour to write or talk about me, who ends up “lost”?. That’s what’s happening these days. People just talk and talk about others as if there is a reward at the end of the year. What’s your business if your female friend has bought a new house? Or a car? Let that inspire you to work harder or even share ideas. Gossiping will not put food on your table. What’s your business if someone is always on a plane going somewhere or her marriage is not working out? How does that affect you?…..people only talk about others when they feel threatened. Use Gods time wisely! #dropsmic #smh #negativecommentsinpireme#happysunday
