After death we either go to hell or heaven. Our journey to heaven depends on our relationship with Jesus not achievement at Joy FM or BBC. Any information of Dumor's spirituality, not BBC or Joy FM?

It would be a good thing for the journalists in Ghana to explore the reasons for these untimely deaths and devote or dedicate a daily segment to healthy habits and behavior as a tribute to their colleagues. They must push public health and preventive health measures and tie it in with the role of corruption and its impacts on the life span of the nation. The state of affairs in Ghana is very deplorable and no one deserves this early in life. We are watching few people destroy our lives without taking any actions to stop them. We need to BE BOLD

That make you and Komla stand out from the crowed. Unlike the asante /kotiboto guys and their NPP, you think about Ghana. Take Gen, Afrifa for example they Kotoka etc., etc., staged the coup together,Kotoka then became his rival and he wanted it all. He made the "Guitar Boys" get rid of him so he can become head of stat. Then retired on his full salary for life. The same goes for the NPP. They want power even if someone has to die for them to get it That is the difference between them and us. Keep it up and posterity would prove us right.

What we consume also play a part of this episode. Our intake should have the property of cleaning any deposits in the arteries. Medication alone will not do the trick. Most of them are just blood thinners which are not capable of
bursting away a blockade in the artery. Follow the law of averages when it comes to what you eat.

It was reported that it was cardiac arrest that killed him. Heart attack and cardiac arrest are different. However, A heart attack may lead to cardiac arrest. In his case we don't know yet.

Komla, you are fine man. You were loved by all. You will be missed a lot. Even my young girls were hit very hard of your death. My young girls used to watch your program 'Focused on Africa'.

Our sympathy goes to your wife and your kids and all family members. We did not see any tribalistic tendencies in you. You live like a true Ghanaian. May you rest in peace.

You have spoken well. Komla was watching you as you spoke. He is very close to you and yet far away from you.

Of course, each one of us will depart in the long run, no matter what, because that's the law of life...... for human life is a repetition of birth, sickness/suffering, old age and death; life is about appearance and disappearance (because humans can only see the physical side of life).

We should turn attention to good eating habits ..... more of leaves and vegetables; and away from excessive meat & chicken (who are injected with
all those stupid chemicals.

Good nutrition will help ...... not
the chemical-laden steaks.

We learn Esther Cobbah is the spokesperson for Dumor affairs on the funeral of Komla Dumor.
Is this Esther Cobbah woman, the wife of TTTT Tsatstu The Thief Tsikata?
I advise the Dumor family not to contaminate the issues with anything in connection with Tsatsu.
Dumor family will lose national sympathy if this divisive Tsatsu linkage is at the forefront of the Komla Funeral arrangement.
Dont bring in Tsatsu to spoil the national party, Prof Dumor

This idiot I understand who plies his trade from Kumasi Kadjetia market and who has nicknamed himself Agbenu to enable him play the racial game with a false identity should be ignored.He is a bigot and has nothing to contribute other than bigotry.With people like this bigot Ghana has a long way to go.The only answer to such a stupid person trying to use death to show how racialist he is is to ignore him.

Instead of how racialist,it should read how a racist buffoon he is.

A GREAT LOSS INDEED TO HIS FAMILY.Sincere condolences to the family of the renowned Dumor. It is a pity that the gifted Dumor had to end up working for an organization like the BBC which nowadays promotes values which THE VAST MAJORITY OF AFRICANS FIND TRULY OFFENSIVE AND CANNOT IDENTIFY WITH. I have long stopped listening to the BBC which is there these days to shape public opinion rather than inform the public. We hope that the next generation of talented African journalist and reporters will work for organizations which are atuned to the values held and cherished by the vast majority of Africans and in fact the majority of the world's population - rather than for organizations like the BBC evangelize and promote the unnatural ideas held by a small but immensely influential group of left wing liberals holed up in the back rooms of the BBC as well as in Number 10 and the White house. Powerful they may be in the West but globally they are still a minority and our journalists must remember this and never sell their souls in exchange for the approval and material rewards offered by these strident campaigners of alien values.

Can you please explain how left wing liberals can be powerful in the West which is considered to be terminally ultra-right?

Indeed, the grave is receiving royals and stars like you everyday but I can't understand it, Komla. How could you be gone? You had your whole life ahead of you. Boss Player, this is too much to bear. You bore the flag of Ghana across the oceans with pride and honour. Ah Komla, this is too hard to bear. But all I can say is that rest in perfect peace dear friend. I will forever miss your peculiar voice and your baby face smile. Komla, Onyame nfa wonsie!

WHY SHOULD PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY GHANAIANS, PRAISE PEOPLE MUCH MORE WHEN THEY DIE THAN WHEN THEY ACTUALLY WERE LIVING? LOOK AT ATTA MILLS, SEE THE INSULT AND NEGLECT UNTIL HE ALL OF A SUDDEN BECAME A HERO WHEN HE DIED. WE SHOULD ALL BEGIN TO LOOK LEFT AND RIGHT TO START GLORIFYING OUR HEROES AROUND US FIRST IN LIFE!
IT IS WHEN WE KNOW WE HAVE HONOURED THEM ENOUGH IN LIFE THAT WE CAN FEEL PROUD TO FURTHER HONOUR THEM WHEN THE LORD CALLS THEM TO ETERNITY. THIS IS A WORD OF ADVICE AND A RUDE AWAKENING FOR ALL PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY GHANAIANS.
