If you don’t have anything to say, don’t say anything. All the Abrahamic Religions forbid the glorification of the dead. It would have been wiser to
suggest that we bury Lumba quickly and move in. Next time, find out how many of our legends are still alive, facing hardship yet get no mention.

How much does a State Burial and Funeral cost? I like Bawumia but don’t support him on this. Should we have State Burial and Funeral for all and Sundry. I have contributed a lot to Education in Ghana. I am requesting a State Burial and Funeral too before death. Well the Children of the Murderous Imp should also be given State Burial and Funeral too for the evil and wicked and despicable and murderous acts their father Efo Jeremiah John Rawlings who was untouchable but was killed by the invisible Covid. ABOA LIKE HIM. He thought he had no end. Where is he and Asiedu NKWASEA and NKWANTABISA? FOOLISH FOOLS.

All these noises from NDC criminals makes me suspect that corrupt John Mahama possibly got Daddy Lumba killed with Directed Energy Weapons as he is paying his NDC corrupt security to similarly torture me with Directed Energy weapons and harass me with "Silent Subliminal Presentation System" by his conspiracies to revenge with secret murders, including being corrupt agents of the CIA / FBI for Ghana.

I got a revelation that corrupt dangerous John Mahama with pretense of humility will gradually murder most his past opponents with invisible EMF radiations of Directed Energy Weapons that slowly destroys the targeted persons' health by destroying the immune system (The T-Cells in the blood), so the persons suffers health battles and slowly die through hospitals and or medical processes due to oxidative stress. That is how they killed millions of people worldwide with covid19. Sleeping with Nkuto or ointment around your body including your head is one of the ways to reduce the damaging effects of Directed Energy Weapon on your health. Some fools will insult me or ignore this message and end up risking their lives or die a foolish death by ignorance as Hosea 4:6. I am Prophet Professor Prince Awuah David (Divine Ninja of America).

I got a divine revelation that Lumba was slowly killed with Directed Energy Weapons by some criminally-minded wicked security agents of NDC John Mahama who took revenge against Lumber for his previous efforts in helping NPP win in 2016. They have targeted me too and secretly conspiring the corrupt racist FBI, Atrocious GBI and dangerously brutal police in the USA to constantly threaten my life with Directed Energy Weapons of ionizing EMF radiations, especially when I sleep which make my hands and fingers become numb with pains of daily torture with plots to cause me stroke by Directed Energy Weapons. You can learn from me, find out the truth and share, instead of insulting me, misjudging me or ignoring me, because, if you do, you will curse yourself or kill yourself by real ignorance as in Hosea 4:6. You cannot challenge the authority of God with human powers. I am Prophet Professor Prince Awuah David (Alias Divine Ninja of America)

It is spiritually revealed to me that, with secret murders by "Directed Energy Weapons" of ionizing EMF radiations that slowly destroys human health to die, some corrupt security agents or network of NDC corrupt John Mahama plots to gradually destroy or kill many NPP top affiliations by political revenge before they leave office. It means if the people ignore my message, many NPP top affiliates will be destroyed or will die before the year 2028. These atrocities are some of the reasons why the practice of "Political Appointments" must be abolished to allow all top government officials to be elected by votes for societal peace and national progress, if we are not acting like fools of disobedience. The next message goes to targeted persons of political affiliations: Though, I am also victim of these conspiracies, you may contact me for your spiritual guidance of protection, if you truly care about your life!

Corrupt dangerous John Mahama of suspected multiple secret murders may not want to give Lumber any state burial because it is revealed to me from all the 3 STP realms (Spiritual Realm, Technological Realm and Physical Realm) that his wicked security agents killed Lumba with ionizing radiations of Directed Energy Weapons that slowly damaged his health. When criminals in government who call themselves "Security", starts striking your body secretly with invisible ionizing EMF radiations from Directed Energy Weapons such as lasers, tasers and "stun gun cell phones" or others like the ADS (Active Denial System) used by police and other security agents, they destroy your health by oxidative stress that damages your immune system (The T-cells in your blood produced by your red bone marrow) and you can have almost any kind of illnesses; stroke, cancer, hypertension/high BP, diabetes, ulcer, headache/migraine, numbness, heart attack/Cardiac arrest and many strange illnesses that can slowly kill you, if you do not know what to do but rather depend on hospitals which cannot cure you, since they will continue to radiate you and keep damaging your health. It is spiritually revealed to me that. these are some of the nonsense murders that racist corrupt FBI describe as classified information just to blind the public from their secret atrocities of Directed Energy Weapons. They kill almost everyone in my paternal family, since they refused to listen to me as a prophet who speaks the truth without fear of any human being but the Lord God for ultimate authority who protect us all.

Nonsense!!! Other than instituting high profanity and making a fortune at the expense of Ghanaians at large, what benefit progressively did the youth of Charles kojo focus era gain. Bawuliar's myopic think and extreme stupidity should not be extended nationwide. That dumb of a parliamentarian who sang some of lumba's profane songs in paying tribute in parliament and referring to it as a source of inspiration to galamseyers must be condemned in no uncertainty also be suspended. When did Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana become so childish like this? It's time we get serious. Insult is just a description of one's imbecile behavior and utterances. Wake up Ghanaians! Wake up!!

Just asking as a humble ghanaian citizen. I like to be enlightened so would just like to know who qualifies...(in this our small developing country, with monumental challenges and debt)....who really qualifies for a state funeral paid for by tax payers. If you say it is culture and our tradition....no...that cost is bourne by the family/friends and not the state.

Oh, is it true Dr Bawumia asked for a " State Burial & Funeral" for Daddy Lumba? Does Dr Bawumia know about Kwame Ampedu, King Bruce, E.T. Mensah, E. K Nyame, K Gyesi, K Onyina, C.K.Mann, A.B Crentsil, Joel Ackah etc.

Stlate burial for Lumba )? For what reason. ?lLumba was making money from his music , did Ghana lbenefit from the monies Lumba made from his music ? BIG NO.. Members of Ossibisa died and were not given State burial and why Lumba . Ossibisa gave money to the Acheampong government to build National Theatre for Ghana and the money was squandered. Has lumba ever given the state money before? Ossibissa is much popular than lumba globally

I stand to be corrected, I don't remember any patriotic song he sang for the nation as a whole. He composed hit song for nana addo but none for the state, not even one for the Ghana Black Stars football team. He's no doubt a music Maestro who made a lot of cash for himself and family.

Stste funerals have become a joke in ghana and also very political. Every rich high profile person in ghana is able to rent out the forecourt of the state house for any funeral. What about the poor who have been inspirational in their local communities impacting lives? Just because he wrote a song that helped nana showboy win his desperate bid for presidency he deserves a state funeral. A lot of musicians have impacted lives with their songs but died without a state funeral. Can one of the supreme court judges define who in ghana deserves to be accorded a state sponsored funeral. Recently an ndc financer was given a state funeral with the military carrying his casket. What about the cocoa farmer hows produce earns us foreign exchange. Oh ghana my mother land.

You people should stop that. Although, Lumba is legend musician but we shouldn't make mistakes. Why didn't we gave Bob Okala, Super OD and many to mention, such a state burial.

Assuming he or Npp was in power and Lumba is said to be an Ndc man. They would not have even commiserated with the family.

The evil that these people have perpetrated in Ghana, there should not even be talking.

Lumba's death is slowly turning into a political circus. I won't be surprised if i hear people asking why president Mahama and the NDC have not visited the family to console them.

was nana ampadu given a state burial? i think the npp is asking for this because he was a member of their party. i think the state should help give him a befitting burial but not a state burial.
