Not everybody mourns everybody's death. Stop trying to start trouble.
It is just strange Rawlings who is always the first to send condolences as he did for Awonoor has not been heard.
Is his name KOBLA or KOMLA???
The name Komla Dumor does not sound Ghanaian to me and was he working as Ghanaian journalist or as a British/Briton?
No offense to anyone, I simply want to know.
Foolish and stupid question Ewurade Kasa
Stupid response, Menaye. Komla Dumor spent his life working hard for a British organization. It is a measure of how enslaved mentally some of you are that you want us to worship that kind of "achievement"!!
Komla, I learnt is an Ewe name for males born on Tuesday. It is not Kobla. those who don't know should ask from the right sources.
The man died less than a week ago and here you are dissecting and drawing final conclusions from every single development...
First of all, what would you say or becomes of your premature observation/write-up if Rawlings i ...

"do not forget that Komla worked for the Multimedia establishment which is owned by NPP stalwarts/gurus hence his leaning. Therefore Komla might at that point be unknowingly pursuing an NPP agenda.

So what is your point? Komla works BBC and he does not choose who he wants to interview. He did what he was told to do and so far we know he was not a happy camper at BBC.
There is no word in English like childrens and children is plural for child.
My Paaddy, brofo is not byforce so why not write in fucking twi to free this disgrace.
what do you mean by 'Tribalist and ethnocentric has'? ......hahahahahaha wo y3 illiterate paaaaaaaaa!!

This is really bad grammar and does not make sense. Rather it should read like this;

Where did you school not schooled.
If Dumor is Anlo, then he probably should have been called Kobla which is the Anlo rendition. The Ewes (the real Ewes - those from Ho to Hohoe) say exclusively Komla. They do not say Kobla. But a few Anlos also say Komla whic ...

wat is wrong with u pple. U ve no idea abt de inspiration that drew his father to name him komla. afterall kobla or komla, it's still ghanaian or better still, its ewe. wat's ur problem.

Moses thanks for your useful contribution which enlightens of us including some ewes/anlos as well. the more we know about each other the closer we can get to eliminating negative perceptions about each other

A good explanation but you forgot or did not know that his home town is Aflao and the pervasive dominance of that area by the Ge-nyis (for the uninitiated, people from Ga and Anyi/Fante origins) meant that they also ...

Thanks, Andy. As usual, when it comes to things Ewe, I don't think anybody on this forum surpasses you. Please, keep on educating us - even those of us born Ewe still need to know more.
why do you people want to use komla dumor's death for your selfish political gains. instead of you mourning you are arguing. fools. you will not turn into stones and trees and some of you may follow komla soon if you dont st ...

read full comment
To refer to someone being an Ewe is no different from referring to someone as an Akan. Ewes like Akans have sub-groups, and because of those sub-groups, you in turn have dialects. Ewe-Dome is simply an Ewe sub-group.
Most Ghanaians have European names and I have never heard anybody questioning the fallacy of it. Why do some of these people think that it is questionable for Komla Dumor to have a particular African name?
The Guans you are referring to are from the the Anum-Boso sub group and their dialect has been heavily influenced by the Ewedome sub-group of the Ewes
Moses dont confuse anybody Dumor is an Ewe name not exclusively anlo name. Who are Anlos/Ewes ?.Ewes are the ethnic group that migrated from notsie in the Rep of Benin and settled in the volta region and part of Togo. The uni ...

Have lots of great friends.
The issue is not about the name Dumor. It is about whether it should be Komla or Kobla and the answer to that is that it is both. Andy added another variant - Komlan which I think is mainly due to the way the French trained T ...

It does not sound Ghanaian or it does not sound Akan? Ghana is a multi ethno-linguistic society. I highly doubt you are familiar with all of them

Sorry, the Author has not exhausted the use of the word 'illustrious', you can also use it for whoever you want.
I want to kn kwow. Is his name KOBLA or KOMLA???
The name Komla Dumor does not sound Ghanaian to me and was he working as Ghanaian journalist or as a British/Briton?
No offense to anyone, I simply want to know.
Your silly query has been answered very well above by Moses. Why repeat it here?

Take it or leave it Komla Dumor was intelligent than Rawlings and his entire family,he also did better than the latter just at 41.Komla was also not materialistic and did not steal anybody/state property.
But he ruled over your father and mother for all most twenty (20)years.....Foooooool.
any fool little bit smarter than rawlings with gun can rule ghana for eternity considering the timidity and sycophancy of ghanaians.
FCUK RAWLINGS GUAN...WHAT DID HE DO FOR GHANA IN 20 FUCKING AWONA YEARS? ABOWA GUAN...MAFIA DON PUSSI
sarpong or whatever you call yourself, get it in your sand filled head that Rawlings is not a funeral loving Asanteni like you. Asantes are noted for their love for corpse. You are an idiot with chimp face.
Hahahaha, I guess all those who have expressed their condolenses are Ashantis, you inferiority complexed trokosi moron.

Is it compulsory? This is a witch hunt and totally baseless article.
Don't you bastard think it's strange Rawlings has not said anything about Komla? He is always the first to hear from when tragedy struck.
we realy lost a great peson is not the condolences would not bring him back stop the insults and let think if we would get somebody like him.one people one nation.
Really? I am tired too of this Komla issue so if condolences will not bring him back, then let's move on, we heard enough of this death.
Anyway, where is the insults?
JJ has the right to do whatever he wishes as long as he did not step on anyone.
When JJ contributed his condolences of Atta Mills death, you people accused him of killing Mills. So leave him alone.
