This world is not our home and we are all just passing through. Yes! Many have passed through and many are still passing through. So sad as it might seem, we take consolation in the fact that God knows best.We also need to know that death is inevitable.
We however must not forget our Celebrities who we once patronized.Yours truly,MAWULI POMARY on a rather sad note brings to you a list of some celebrities who once entertained us. I have no intentions whatsoever to remind us of the pain. Please bear with me.
And After reading about each of them…Just say “Rest in Peace Our dear Celebrity”!
Efo Kodjo Mawugbe
The award winning playwright who until his demise was the director of the national theatre, is one man who will forever be remembered for his exploits. A world acclaimed master of the art. Winner of the 2009 BBC international playwriting competition.Efo, in his bosom will you rest!
Mac Tontoh
The Osibisa Legend is no more but his legacy lives on. As a founding member and trumpeter of the group, he ensured to promote African culture everywhere he found himself. Uncle Mac “You’ve been gone and there is an empty home”. Rest in perfect peace Supremo.
Terry Bonchaka
Terrance Nii Adjetey’s style was unique in his time.The ‘Pulele’ crooner left in his prime but left Ghana with something. Hold your leg parallel to the ground and the first thing you will hear is ‘’Pulele’’. Terry,If you still have your comb in your hair then may it rest with you in the creator’s abode.
Suzzy Williams
The ‘Chan Chan’ lady would be a force to reckon with at the Ghana Movie Awards. Oh no! We can’t see her again. The sexy,sassy young lady who until 2005 was the toast of many is dead but she still has something to be read. After her discovery by Leila Djansi, She became the face of many products and movies perhaps for her passion and of course her beauty!
Kwame Owusu Ansah
‘The African Child’ Started as a radio presenter and hit the screens after meeting Zack Orgi at an awards ceremony.He never looked back since and will be remembered for ‘Who Killed Okomfo Anokye’ and many other movies. GT 4665 Z, that car number ! Kwame is gone but I would like to ask ‘Who Killed Osomfo Kwame’?
Mufty Dabre
If Peace Fm is one of the most listened to radio stations today, then Mufty ‘the’ Dabre deserves mention. The moslem who played gospel music all the time. His affability and dedication to duty won the hearts of many. So I say to you, R.I.P in Allah.
