Dumor worked for his own parochial interest, not for Ghana so stop this myth-making about him

Yes, he was good. Yes, he died too young and yes, the pain is still in our hearts.

But let's stop all these copious adulations. Are we Africans so much in need of heroes that we go on and on and on about one man who was a newsreader - no better or worse than 1000s of his colleagues world wide?

Now he is a prophet - an African journalistic prophet! What, exactly, did he contribute to African journalism apart from being a black face on a very mainstream worldwide tv station? And dying too young? Now awards are being named for him, lectures instituted in his name, study centers named for him, etc etc.

Oh Africa. We don't have enough heroes and we cry and cry blood over one lost one...

Indeed he was a journalist, perhaps a good one but for goodness bloody sake do stop this nonsense about Komla Dumour. Explanation really could be that there is nothing to be proud about in Ghana so we grab at anything. Perhaps these idiots should just seek canonisation of Komla Dumour.

A real "Lecturer" who too ample time to pen this piece, yet you are CONFUSED about "mental transition" and "SPIRITUAL transition".

"Mental" goes "everlast-DEAD" with the "physical"!

It is a real pity that all you can do is to comment what others write without even giving a second thought to the words they use. Where does Komla Dumor live now? Can you tell? He lives in the hearts and minds, that is in the memory of loved ones, friends, sympathizers. Hope you got it now, you deadheaded fellow.
