Over the past few days, Ghanaians have, merely by accident, discovered and heartily fallen in love with Godfred ‘Vito’ Obeng Boateng, the KNUST graduate bread hawker, who was supposed to be the object of John Dumelo’s ridicule but has instead become something of a national treasure.
As the story goes, Dumelo posted a photo of Boateng hawking his bread in traffic in Accra, with a caption which many deem offensive in how demeaning it was.
