What at all did this guy contribute to society apart from his own pocket? Did he write a book, set up a foundation, revolutionized how Africa was framed and presented by the media. In fact, he did nothing, except that he may have done his work well.

You are a misnomer, did you say he did nothing for the society? And did I read you write he did his work well? You are pathetic, very pathetic, because you fail to realise that though he worked for BBC, his work reached the society and if he worked well as you wrote then you should have acknowledge he worked well for the society.

You didn't understand what Corney said at all. Does it mean that everyone who does his/her work must be celebrated the way Komla is getting. Corney is right. What did Komla contribute to society? What is his legacy? Eloquence and articulation. Then there are tons of Ghanaian media people who are/were beter than Komla! Yes, the guy's death was sudden and emotional, but his legacy is just not there!

Cornet, either you care a confused idiot or a tribal bigot who hated even the dead. where are your your illiterate Baakus and the jail bird Kurnachies? Where are your npp so called journalists? You are the biggest fool. In any case. you are not fit to know what the late Komla has contributed to mankind. Idiot.

Please,guys, I have just woke up seeing this article and surprised to see my name attached to that comment,when I was reading the story I didn't think I should comment on the story only to check the comments side to see my name there,it was even a call from Ghana that woke me up,I don't usually comment on these kind of things that somebody wins award,you guys can check the time that comment came in,I live in MTD time zone,it is only 7.00,in the morning,six hours behind Ghana.

This is how this website has become that some idiots who cannot boldly say what they want to say will use somebody's name to write trash.
This is not from me.

We know you! You are good at calling Akufo Addo names. No it is not just someone who has won an award. It is about you just being an Nyebro!

Why is it that ewes always think tribal.
Focus on Africa is one of the poorest programs of BBC. The program does not live out it title. The lady presenter cannot even pronounce words properly. She pronounce 'focus' as 'facus' yet she live in Britain. It is not a program you should be insultive.

Go and see how Prez Mahama of Ghana has transformed Gonjaland with Ghana money just within the two and half years that he has been in power. Every town, village and hamlet in Gonjaland has received a facelift with new facilities such as roads, toilet facilities, markets, mosques, good quality water projects, electricity extension projects, etc. The question is did J. J. Rawlings do the same thing to Voltarians when he was in power for twenty years? What about Atta Mills. The good old Prof was in power for three and a half years yet he was not selfish to only concentrate on his people in Ekumfi Etuam and the central Region but rather his whole thought was for the general good. No wonder under the care of Prez Mills, Ghana achieved a growth rate of 11%, single digit inflation and the smooth implementation of the Single Spine Pay Policy where newly recruited police personnel received the nominal equivalence of 500dollars as monthly salary. Compare these achievements to the nepotism and selfish policies of the Mahama government that has crippled the Ghanaian economy. I really weep for Ewes and Fantis whose votes brought Mahama to power and yet are the hardest hit by the current hardship prevailing in the country.

The lady needs to be congratulated. My dream was for a Ghanaian Journalist to win the maiden award but unfortunately wishes have never been horses.
But I must add that the Ghanaian journalist must aim high and stop this mediocrity we read, hear and watch my compatriot spew out daily on homeland.

Happy that Ghanaian did not win it. Look what they write about in Ghana papers. Nothing worth reading.

There they go again,the half educated with computers.You think getting there ,reading the News as an African for BBC is no achievement,are you comparing BBC to your tribal radio stations . If he came from the bush like you, you will be talking about the number of cars ,houses he owes, even if its not true.Do something for yourself, and then try and impart it on the society.Bush men will always have thier mouths bigger than thier brains.

Periodically I come to this forum with the view to learn something or at least enhance my knowledge about different topics. However, it saddens me that people are so rude and disrespectful to each other on this forum. What does it cost to respect one another and express your opinion without offending? Am I old school or what? As a dear friend of mine once said "opinions are like the anus, everyone has one". Be that as it may no one needs to be rude just because they can.
