The white leadership at BBC who never wanted no black man outshines them and takes accolades they think belong to them only killed Komla.
Chemical warfare is real folks.

My grandfather was poisoned by Belgians while working in the Belgium Congo. What was his crime? According to grandma, grandpa had a habit of taking phone calls and typing a different thing all together at the same time, a habit lazy Belgians rather thought strange and thought grandpa was a wizard to be able to multi task and hence his poisoning. He survived by flying to the Gold Coast for treatment. That was in 1948.

In 1962, a brilliant uncle of mine was sent to Glasgow by the CPP government to be trained as bone surgeon, he came back in '64 did a lot of surgeries and went back. But when it was realized that he'd be coming back to Nkrumah's Ghana, he became a dead man to be returned home for burial.
Those Africans who are smart but decided to remain in the Weat to play second fiddle to whites are not disturbed provided they do not make white men feel inferior.
This is not some conspiracy theory.
More and more of our smartest kids has been identified and killed every day under many bizarre and unexplained circumstances most times quicly blamed on black on black crime.
Komla was simply poisoned not by the blacks working there but Whites who felt intimidated.

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.

Ooh Ghana,if this is the lot of ghana then we have a very very long way to go.A whole President at the funeral of a guy who left his native land to seek better things in the whitemans land.Let us be serious and ask ourselves this:What did Kwabena Dumor achive for Ghana?Just because he worked at BBC does not make him any better than our local Newsmen.When are we Africans going to cherish our own.Where are the men of old who worked all their lifes to serve Ghana and the GBC.Kwame Amamo,Richard Hammond,Daniel Agyei,Akwasi Donkor,Ishmeal Alabi,Joe Lartey and the rest.Why all this noise about Kwabena Dumor,who abandoned his motherland to seek a better life for himself.These guys spent their whole lifes serving their country,yet today nobody remembers them,so spare us all this noise.

No wonder the Ashantis just hate the No. 9s - they are simply brilliant. The Queen of England just loved Komla's presentation.

If only those in the forest could stop concentrating on fraud and stealing!

Was he the CEO? Other than delusional Ghanaians ,when has working for the propaganda arm of Great Britain and the Crown become something worthy of emulation. No one is talking about the family he left behind. Ghanaians are always seeking validation from the white man. What did Komla Dumor actually achieve? Zilch! He was just a PR success for our pseudo-elites. The white man is laughing! Look at those niggas. They love it when we elevate one of their own.

WHEN I SAY GHANAIANS ARE GETTING STUPID BY THE DAY,FEW PEOPLE DO GET ME RIGHT?SO IT,S NOW A BIG ACHIEVE- MENT TO ABANDON YOUR COUNTRY TO GO FOR GREENER PASTURES WORKING FOR THE IMPERIALISTS WHO WOULD ALWAYS PAINT US BLACK AND YET THE STUPID,NAIVE AND BRAINLESS LEADERS ALWAYS CRY OF BRAIN DRAIN.KOMLA,S CASE IS A TYPICAL EXAMPLE.IT BEATS MY IMAGINATION THAT A WHOLE PRESIDENT AND A LARGE PRESID- ENTIAL SUITE SUPPORTED THIS FUNERAL OF ONE WHO WENT FOR GREENER PASTURES AND DIED WORKING HIS ASS OUT FOR OUR SLAVE MASTERS AND NO ONE SAW NOTHING WRONG ABOUT IT,A WAY HE WILL NEVER WORK FOR HIS COUNTRY.IT,S A SHAME MOST GHANAIANS DON,T THINK DEEP.

All the political parties are jostling to curry the favour of the electorate by singing praises to Komla Dumor.What did he do for Ghana?After all he left to Britain to seek greener pastures for his own benefit.I will not be surprised if he was a British[holder of British passport]and not a ghanaian at the time of his death.Are we being told that we do not have so many ghanaians who have achieved more than him and are also excellent role models?I hope our politicians will solve the problems facing the nation and stop making noise about useless things

It's high time you Ghanaian people stop this Komla Dumor nonsense. I knew him very well and had a chat with him along with KKD on the 23rd of December 2013. It was sad and really unfortunate he passed away timely or untimely, but do you guys have to continue lamenting Komla Dumor's death every now and then or every year or was he the only good 'thing' the country Ghana has ever produced. Cheap people!
