Mr Gyimah, also purported to be the richest person in Akroso in the Eastern Region of Ghana, has reportedly been dating the yet-to-be-identified young lady for quite a while.

Netizens cast innuendos

While the marriage may signify the solidification and celebration of love between two adults, netizens who chanced on the video cast innuendos, suggesting that the 24-year-old lady may only be after Mr Gyimah's wealth.

A few of the reactions gathered from the video, which was shared on the Facebook page of Afia Doku1, have been compiled below.

Bosheba Qwadwo Owusu Williams had this to say:

"Forget love, this is purely about the money. Given the same circumstances, will she marry a poor old man?"

Naa Torshie Obodai said:

"So all this while, he had his own reason for reducing the Nkatie from 74 to 24….I see."

Don Bullet also reacted:

"The girl’s father didn’t hustle well, that’s why his mate is marrying his daughter."

Yvonne Kyenkyehene also commented:

"I'm proud of the lady! It's better to cry in a Benz, than in a tuktuk! At the end, it is your own peace and happiness you chose and not society’s."

I'm not a gold-digger, Jackie

Elsewhere, a lady identified as Jackie, married to a man over twice her age, insisted that their relationship is genuine.

Jackie had to defend her relationship with the love of her life, Dave, because of their age difference.

While the young woman is only 28, her romantic man Dave is 70, and their 42-year age gap raised questions, with some saying her beau was her grandfather.
