    What caused the cardiac arrest?
    These affluent young men are dying of cardiac arrest.I was mourning Komla genuinely when Richard Jonah also died of the same CARDIAC Arrest then I said wait a minute

    Efo Kofi, with his usual "toli". I enjoy reading it a lot. Yes indeed, not even death could spare us with our political affilliations. How sad that today, we are no more our brothers keepers but persecutors, even going to the ...

    Kofi Sapathy's article is not TOLI. Do you know what TOLI means? It is an exaggerated lies said in a joking matter to make people laugh. Frank I want to let you know that Kofi is a serious so Frank come again.

    Your have given a rich history of the BBC and something on Komla Dumor. I thought you would have stayed the course but you brought some polotics into it exposing your political colours and thus making your article nonsensical ...

    Yaw, I don't think the writer is partial. You think he is NPP man? I think he deplores the politicization of Dumor's death but you know everything is politicized in Ghana!

    Infact the article is timely. His name should not only be named after a street in his village but a school block or a hall must be named after him. He is a complete hero and he will never be forgotten.

    You are right, Mighty man. I also feel that GIJ must institute Komla Dumor memorial lectures in the hero's honour.

    He symbolized what every parent wanted in a son, what every woman and children wanted in a husband and daddy, and what every family and country wanted in a relation and citizen. He had it all: good upbringing, education, car ...

    Axis are you sure about that? Did you know this guy personally? He wasn't a very happy guy in the weeks and months preceding his demise. Lets raise the bar and standards.

    Have you ever been in a situation where you are surrounded by hypocrites and backstabbers? Braving it up to face them each day with a smile because you have a job to do and a family to feed?

  • Kwesi 10 years ago

    It seems you'll agree with the writer that Ghana is searching for heroes if we are now saying an ordinary newsreader is our hero. Will that be the case?

  • AFRICAAAAAA 10 years ago

    I have no doubt in my mind that this gentleman reached heights only accessible to few but we need to be careful when we start seeing him as a national hero. He was a journalist at a broadcasting house that has seen better day ...

    If there's anything to learn, it is that hardwork and decency can elevate a person from humble beginnings to the top of one's game.

    This is one of the lessons the young man's life, though short, portrayed to the world.

  • AFRICAAAAAA 10 years ago

    And your point exactly???
    Tweaaaaa.....May Komla Dumor respect in peace again.

    I can't stop crying for Komla Dumor since his death nearly two months ago .I have a daughter born the same year as him.his smile on B B B C news made my day as a Ghanian Komla rest in peace.

    After reading through this article, I now realized that Africa is really important to other continents. After producing such heroes, but yet still, they (The West) are still looking down on us.
    This man was a real non-politi ...
