Remember Carl Agyemang Bannerman? He spent his whole life serving Ghana at GBC (not BBC), even when Jerry Rawlings' bullets were flying over his head - multiple times. Carl was buried three weeks ago without fanfare. When doctors and nurses leave the shores of Ghana for greener pastures, they are devils in life and death. I am tired of getting tired of all this crap about Dumor this, Dumor that. By the way, may he rest his peace

Your submission is quite myopic and a clear demonstration of the danger of generalization. The mischief echoed in your comments is very shameful!

Komla is a role model because he did hi job very well and made all of us proud. John Mahama will be remembered for stealing Ghana's money with his sibblings and cronies ad increasing our national debt stock from GHS8.7billion in January 2009 to GHS50billion in January 2014. God will eliminate all those who are stealing Ghana's money so we can have our peace and develop.

There can be two medical doctors in one hospital but the one that thinks outside box and uses other methods gains the attention of the masses.
The white man's reportage on the African continent was very abysmal and many Africans hated it but could not do anything about it, and some of our own people just did the same as the white man did.
Komla on other hand, did a reportage that made many Africans felt great once in their life time about their continent.
Those who look at Africa through the prism of Europeans could never see or understand the type of visibility the Focus on Africa brought to Africa a continent that is so rich it has to be labeled the poorest and we bought in to it.

My grandpa was poisoned by Belgians in the Belgium Congo. And what was his crime? According to grandma, grandpa had a habit of taking phone calls and the same time typing a different thing all together, a multi tasking habit the lazy Belgians in the Congo found so strange and believed grandpa had to be a wizard to multi task, and out of jealousy, he was poisoned but survived by flying into the Gold Coast for treatment.
Chemical warfare is real.

In the 1960s another brilliant uncle was sponsored by the CPP government to specialize in bone surgery in Glasgow, he came back and performed great works and went back but when it was realized that he'd be returning to Ghana, he'd be a dead man to be brought home for burial in 1966.

This is not some conspiracy theory.
Most of our smart black kids are been identified and killed under most bizarre circumstance and quickly blamed on black on black crime.
Folks open up your eyes.

In the 90s before aparthaid South Africa crumbled, some number of South African students were found dead all over the Western world. Coincident?
You ain't taking that knowledge back to Africa. That's what all boiled down to.

hahahah to be honest Ghanaians are funny people and illiterate as well, was he the one who owned the BBC? he was a worker there like others so how can he be a true son of Africa? he can never be a true son of Africa, he was a true son for those who were listening to him on BBC and his family. And what made him the true son of Africa? did he liberated Africans from their mental slavery or he liberated Africans from their poverty?

For your information not all Africans who listen to the bogus and bias news on the so-called BBC, keep your words and find something better doing and stop this childish talk Mr. president.The man was working in BBC as news broadcaster and he has finished his job so let him rest in peace. No wonder after 56 years of Independence Ghana is still retrogressing because our mind has been enslaved, we are backwards people still living in BC 20 era, how can we move forward as a nation with this archaic mindset, 21 century people with BC 20 mind, that is ghanaians for you.

Mr.President you don't know what you are talking about you and who will celebrate his life,his achievement and his legacy? maybe you and your family together with your party members will do that but not the entire nation. Can anyone educate me the achievement and the legacy Komla left for the nation? do ghanaians understand the word achievement and legacy? or maybe he eradicated trokosi and jealousy among the ewes, witchcraft and burial of human head with kings among the akans and witch camp and primitive thinking among the northerness, Mr. president stop this hypocrisy and move the country forward.

Fellow me if you can but put all the burdens behind. NAKED will be back

Focus on Africa and the way and style in which it reported did it to a lot of Africans who believed in their continent. There are good things going on on the continent but most of us hardly knew it and believed in the western propaganda that our continent is poor.
Komla on other hand gave the continent more than a fare share that made a lot of Africans who follow the news optimistic.
For those who careless about Africa, it means absolutely nothing to them which outside-the-box format is used to bring the news home to lift up the believers of Africa.

Bro, I truly can understand your sentiments.

Hey guys you never know what kolma might have done for the pResident during the elections? This was probably a way to say thank you. As usual Ghanaians are always ready to kiss asses......he's a good journalist but the hype is way too much adzen? Am sure the bbc workers in the u.k. Laugh their head out when they see the attention and protocol a normal news broadcaster is being given....wow to the extent that a president comes to his funeral .....only ghana no wonder the white man sees us as senseless n vision less !!!! There are people who have served this nation with all their might n yet no recognition whatsoever........anyway he ain't gonna see ur hear all this when u're gone u're gone . I pray for his soul to have eternal rest.......Ghan pls let's move forward now!!!!pls see to the water shortage.

Instead of sitting down to think about how to get the country moving,The President attends the funeral of a guy who deserted his motherland to seek greener pastures somewhere.This President must be impeached and shown the door way before he drives Ghana into the gutter.Working for the BBc does not make one a true son of Africa. The true sons are those who stay through worse and good times to see the continent move forward.

This what happen when you have a useless president. He start attending private funeral service which have no social economy benefit to the people who elected him to office. Let me say employed him to office, people are getting up 2am in search of water for the past week, you have not address that issue, people are finding it hard to put food on table, you have not address that issue, you are out there running around. This are the issues Komla was talking about, I don't think Komla will appreciate all you people kissing his ASS now that he is GONE. Address the issue that affect the people, that is what Komla was all about, I don't think he did it for all this attention. May he RIP.

He was a journalist and left Ghana to seek better life for himself and family so why this state funeral.The government has nothing to do apart from this nonsense.Do you think David Cameron will go to a funeral of one junrnalist who dies in London?Wake up Ghana and stop this nonsense.What exactly did he do for Ghana as a person. He was reporting Africa for BBC and he was being paid. Why did he choose to live in London instead of Ghana.Waste of manpower and resources.
