'Korle Gono': Watch Kwaku Baako's hilarious answer to why he married late

Veteran journalist Kweku Baako Jnr was put on the spot by renowned broadcaster Dr. Randy Abbey, who asked him why he chose to marry later in life.

The conversation occurred during a panel discussion on Good Morning Ghana on January 9, 2024, which marked Dr. Abbey's final episode as a host.

The broadcaster compared Baako to his close friend Kwesi Pratt Jnr, who married much earlier in life.

“I’ will still ask the question I want to ask you. How come, despite the fact that you guys were like twins and everything, Kwesi married early, and you married late?” Dr. Abbey asked.

Kwesi Pratt attempted to deflect the question, asking, “Is it a question to ask?” However, Dr. Abbey pressed on, and Baako obliged with a response.

The veteran journalist, who is the Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, candidly admitted that his youthful lifestyle influenced his decision to delay marriage.

“Lack of self-discipline. I was virtually a rolling stone. Yeah, I was a rolling stone. And that affected my opportunities to access decent women,” Baako confessed.

He added that despite his past, he eventually found the perfect partner, “Thankfully, I got a woman just the right fit-for-purpose.”

Dr. Abbey humorously remarked, “That’s why you are still paying school fees, while Kwesi has grandchildren.”

Baako joked in return, saying, “Korle Gono has taken all my children,” prompting further laughter when Dr. Abbey quipped, “That’s why you don’t drive past there [Korle Gono]. Because you hear, ‘Daddy, Daddy.’”
