the very journalists who claim they love Komla today were the very people who castigated and said worst things about him when he was given the journalist of the year award in 2003. hypocrates!!

Then you should all stop the overkill of the sympathy messsges. He was a private person not a public official and I have heard enough of Komla.

You people always trade on your ungratefulness and hatred which Komla was exceptional, Komla never thought of being an ewe first but a Ghanaian before anything, he said he is an African and a Ghanaian ethnicity is no issue to him so what is your problem voltarians ? We are all according him where he felt he belonged and that is Ghanaian and African so every Ghanaian, African and the whole world is mourning him is this a problem to you? Kofi Awoonor was for you but Komla Dumor is for all Ghanaians and we are not going to stop.Our eyes are red and we are not going to entertain any talk of jealousy and hate.KOMLA R.I.P.

after reading your message it was clear that you did not understand Hon. Gomashi's concern. Yes, Komla is a Ghanaian. can Ghana plan and bury Komla without the family's approval simply because Komla is a Ghanaian? never. can that be dine in your family? but on the contrary, the family of Komla can choose to plan and bury him without the consent of Ghana. it is doable.WHAT GOMASHI SIMPLY SAID WAS THAT THE FAMILY IS DEVASTATED, IS IN A STATE OF SHOCK. THE MEDIA SHOULD ALLOW THEM TO RECOVER A BIT, RATHER THAN BEING ON THEIR NECK IN AN ATTEMPT TO BE THE FIRST TO PUT OUT A NEWS ABOUT THE FAMILY'S NEXT LINE OF ACTION. If you claim he is a Ghanain hence there shouldn't be any comment from any person from the area, then the media should rather approach you for whatever information they are looking for.

How does the people of Volta region mourn? Actually the media is hyping the death of a Journalist more than it should be. We have heard enough.

Let's think about the living now.

If Komla were to be alive, he won't create any special privacy for himself. He went to the Mandela's family in SA and agreed with them that he was invading their privacy, but it was a necessary disturbance which was going to end soon. I believe Komla's family could use this opportunity to showcase the goodness of the family

THE AUTHENTIC NEWS GOING AROUND VOLTA REGION STATE THAT THE LATE KOMLA DUMOR WAS AN ASPIRING NDC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AFTER THE MAHAMA'S TERM EXPIRES. SO POOR DUMOR WAS BEING GROOMED BY SOME BIG SHOTS OF THE NDC IN THE EWELAND. DUMOR HEEDED THEIR ADVICE AND WENT TO HIS FATHER'S LAND IN VOLTA PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF TO THE PEOPLE OF HIS CONSTITUENCY. UNFORTUNATELY, KOMLA WAS SPIRITUALLY BEATEN BY THE TROKOSI GODS. THEY WAITED TILL HE LANDED IN BRITAIN BEFORE THEIR HEAVY BLOWS KNOCKED HIM TO DEATH. SADLY, THIS IS THE REASON, MANY EWES IN DIASPORIA AND HOME HESITATE TO INVEST ON THE EWELAND, HENCE PROTRACTED POVERTY AND SQUALOR ON THEIR BEAUTIFUL AND UNTILLED LANDS AND WATERS. THIS IS THE TIME THE EWE INTELLECTUALS DO A STUDY ABOUT THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THEIR . MAY MR DUMOR REST IN PEACE!

Very childish of you. Your brain is so shallow that it's impossible for you to think that Komla could have been poisoned by very white people he's working for. No, you can't believe whites can do that but Ewes could. No wonder whites come to Ghana with nothing but control our mines and fools like you see nothing wrong with it.
THERE'S A WAR GOING ON FOR OVER 2000 YEARS. PRO AFRICAN Good black men have to go. For over two thouasnd years, over a billion have been killed.As long as we remain ignorant of this, more victims will fall on the way.

Komla's way of throwing lights on Africa's problems through his reportage is not in line with BBC which is a propaganda and anti-African mouth piece, but fools without wisdom can not fathom that.

I wished the Honourable Minister had not involved herself in this.

As Minister of Culture she should be the first to know that if Komla were to live in my Mamprobi/Chorkor, Anyinam/Osino or even Jankama/Apiredi, the young people in the neighborhood would have been parading the streets with 'jama'and evading his home until after burial. This is the reality of our modern culture, when a young and loved one like Komla dies, and Mad. Dzifa needs to appreciate that.

Luckily, Komla is a 'Dadaba', so his friends and neighbors don't do 'jama'. But that should not take anything away from a grieving nation.
He deserves all the 'noise' and show of grief. Close family, would at all cost be given their peace to do whatever they want to do.

When you become a celebrity, you lose your freedom in life and in death. Fortunately, you lose it the same people who made you a celebrity in the first place. Remember anyone called Lady Diana; no one stopped any publications about her when she died. So, Dzifa, if you think you are close to Ghanaians culture, just help the family to deal with the frenzy; let them know who their son was and stop whining. That is your role. Stop taking the short cut by violating people's freedom.

Where were this woman when Mr. Rawlings desecrated Mr. Mandela's memory when he went to sign the book of condolence by needlessly attacking Mr Kufuor. Does this woman want to tell us that the Anlos are 'special people'. We beg to differ with this woman. she should shut up there, and let mourn our fellow Ghanaian, Komla Dumor. May Komla rest in peace.

RIP KOMLA. I HOPE A LOT OF US WILL LEARN FROM YOUR SHORT BUT WONDERFUL LIFE. WE ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT HIS POSITIVES, BUT ARE THERE LESSONS. WHY SHOULD KOMLA WORK FOR BBC BEFORE WE GHANIANS SEE HIS GREATNESS..? WHY IS IT THAT EVERY GOOD THING IN AFRICA SHOULD LEAVE TO BE QUALIFIED AS GOOD? I REMEMBER WHEN HE ANNOUNCED ON JOY FM ABOUT HIS NEW JOB, ALL CALLERS CONGRATULATED HIM WITHOUT A QUESTION SAVE ONE OLD LADY WHO WAS HIS LOYAL LISTENER. SHE ASKED " KOMLA, DON'T YOU THINK GOING FOR THE BBC JOB IS ALSO A FORM OF BRAIN DRAIN THAT YOU HAVE TALKED ABOUT ON RADIO?... HE WAS QUIET FOR SOMETIME AND OFFERED NO JUSTIFICATION. HE WAS VERY OBJECTIVE, BUT WAS HUMAN. HE THOUGHT OF HIS HIMSELF FOR ONES. I DON'T BLAME HIM. LEAVING JOY FM, KOMLA LEFT WITH THE OBJECTIVITY OF THE NETWORK. NOW ITS EASY TO PUNCTURE HOLES IN THE OBJECTIVITY PROFILE OF JOY FM. KOMLA FULFILLED HIS DREAMS AT BBC, AND I AM HAPPY FOR HIM. BUT PLEASE HIS DEPARTURE TO BBC SHOULD NOT BE FORCED ON US GHANIANS AS A BLESSING. lets not uphold mediocrity

Any media house who'll disobey or flout the rules in regards to privace and culture, or what the deputy minister has announced, the public should boycott those media houses. It's time for Ghanaian media to set higher standards in the way they go about reporting or doing business. People must show some respect and begin to grow up a bit! We're grieving and it's not fun to lose a gentle and dearest personality like Komla Dumor.
