Broadcast Journalist, Nana Ama Agyemang Asante has described a surprise visit John Dumelo paid to some single ladies on the University of Ghana campus, Legon, as predatory and gross.
On Thursday, 14th February 2019, which happened to be Valentine’s Day, ace actor, John Dumelo decided to pay a surprise visit to some single ladies in their hostel rooms on Legon campus. A video John Dumelo uploaded on Twitter captured him hugging and offering handshakes to the ladies who could be seen to be in a very ecstatic mood upon seeing him. Check out the video here:

In her reaction to the video John Dumelo posted, Nana Ama Agyemang Asante who works with Accra-based Citi FM as a broadcast Journalist and also claims to be a feminist, descended on John Dumelo by the describing the mode the actor adopted for his visit as gross and predatory. Below is her reaction to John Dumelo’s video:
You mean no one on your team told you not to do this because it is predatory and gross? https://t.co/PmyFecYU9a

She further explained that John Dumelo’s act of apparently entering into the ladies’ rooms to hug them amounted to a disrespect to their personal spaces and bodies.
I’m astonished by the number of men saying this in response to my tweet about a man walking into the rooms of women students to hug them. Do you people know you can be nice to women without being creepy? As in, not grabby, and respectful of women’s personal spaces and bodies? https://t.co/gV5f11yQUy

A number of Twitter users have however criticized Nana Ama as being excessively sensitive over the issue. Below are some tweets criticizing Nana Ama for her explosive reaction to John Dumelo’s video:
The fact that you’d go out of your way to read that much meaning into a nice gesture by someone with no malicious intent attached to it goes to expose how fragile, disturbed and empty you’re inside. You’re just pushing your insecurity and esteem issues on people. Lighten up! https://t.co/Ohxf4qMr3E

Nana Ama Agyemang Asante, Ah so how do you describe John Dumelo going to visit students to share love on Valentine's Day, and they willingly hug him as Predatory and Gross.
Absolutely unbelievable from you. People like you make it dangerous to even be a Man. Daabi Daabi, you too

Nana Ama is attention seeker. I don’t see anything wrong with this, John didn’t force the girls to hug him, i overheard one saying “Sad” cos they don’t have a date. I’m sure John made their day. Let’s acknowledge people going out of their way to make others happy.
