Very dedicated man,
It's not the work of mortuary attendant that people disrespect; it is the amount paid for the work. They need to be paid better.
Yes ooooooo
Meagre salary with 3wives n 7 children n still counting. Hmmmm

Call 'the undertaker' and let those with understanding understand
Our politicians are grossly overpaid, they steal and yet and at the end receive ESB. Match that against this very dedicated worker who earns nothing, yet works so hard!
What is the essence of this story. Is this not the lot of most Ghanaian workers? But in spite of his so called miserable state he can afford to marry three wives and take care of seven children. Is this something he should sh ...

Chieftaincy is not contested for. Its hereditary. It comes to you. Nobody contests for chieftaincy in any society except in northern Ghana. Why is this man contesting for chieftaincy?
I am disappointed by your comments which just portray as an ignorant bigot.
Even in Akan areas where queen mothers presumably have the sole prerogative of nominating heirs to stools, several qualified (and even unqualifie ...

In many cases through out Ghana, there is always more than one person qualified for chieftancy. The fact that you don't know that shows you're a moron!
You are an ignorant bushman. Widen you horizon bushman!
Shut up, do u know his culture than him? When they chief's children are many they must go through laid down tradition before the one ordain become the successor.
and indeed,he is frm northern ghana.u said yaself so,whats the question for?just stay put if u hav nothing to write.
I find the part where he said he ordered the dead person, to put on the light quite amusing. This man and all the others that takes care of dead bodies should be paid well. Imagine the epidemic if hospital dont get people to ...

Until we change as human beings not Otabil, Duncan William etc can change the mind of God towards GHANA. These two figures are mere mortals. Same blood following through them.

You deserve an award from Ghana government.

You will be shocked to know how much these hospitals charge to preserve corpse in their morgue. Yet they pay some peanuts to the mortuary attendants. This is too bad. Our hospitals need to take these workers serious. It's ver ...

Great work your reward is with the creater Jehovah
Eii Ghanaweb, fateful or faithful day?
Nana, unfortunately, your questions has rather exposed your ignorance, or must I call it illiteracy?
The writer did use the correct term ok.
Master Obed, am not saying faithful as a word is wrong but the way it was used, the right word for the sentence should have been fateful day instead of faithful day. Pls don't prejudice and call me ignorance and illiterate.
My dear both words sound de same
Well done!
rare to find these days....a dedicated and proud Ghanaian. I'm really touched, God bless u man
How can I donate to this dedicated man? Beeing in Bolga, I want to donate a brand new motor bike for him. Ghanawed let's get in touch.
He is really good man he has taken Care of My dad in the morgue before. he is very kind and helpful may God bless him.
By the labor of your hands, you shall eat, good job
i met this guy somewhere in 2008 he is a very dedicated guy.
i know he is highly respected by the police officers in Bolga because of the encounter i had with him and the police.
keep the good work.
That bitch Oye who thinks she is a human rights lawyer should read mr Azaas story
This goes to those demeaning mortuary men and Burriers in the cemetery, that they should remember that,they are not above the mortuary as they no one knows the next second. So please demeanors take time n take cover too.
Some nurses are very stupid
Most of them. Infact about 98% of nurses in Ghana are stupid!
This is a primitive story narrated by a primitive mortuary attendant to a primitive writer who carries it to a primitive audience in a primitive country on a primitive continent.
Can somebody tell me with the hospital number I would love to bless this man....it's about time we starts giving respect to people like him.....my email felarks.com. a ghanaian in the u.s

The nurse never intended disgraced him but just as guys guys
If only Ghanaweb and other media houses will dedicate half their time and efforts on stories and injustices such as this in our society..Ghana will be a better place for all.
everybody has his grave yard to fill,if one has taking the lead that doesn't mean you will not go,is a home of all man kind,.thank you for preparing our for Jenny,
We will ALL be one day handled by a mortuary man...why can't you respect them? We need to pay them better as already suggested by others. We need to give them the needed protective work tools and clothing. FULL RESPECT!!!
I call you my brother b'cos of the respect you have for the dead. May the almighty bless you! Don't let what people say bother you, your reward is in heaven. May the Heavenly Father bless you for the rest of your life, may yo ...

The dumsor situation in Ghana is cut across. He is doing a good job and must be honoured but must know that dead person does not put off light. That was the time of dumsor.
