KODA's family degraded God - Ohemaa Woyeje
Award-winning broadcaster Ohemaa Woyeje has publicly expressed her disappointment regarding the way the family of the late Ghanaian gospel singer KODA chose to commemorate his life following his passing.
KODA, who died in April of this year, had previously made headlines when an old video surfaced, revealing that he had taken the wrong medication for eight months before his death.
Woyeje noted that, despite the seriousness of this situation, no actions had been taken against the responsible hospital.
In her critique, Ohemaa pointed out that rather than grieving their loss, KODA’s family opted to celebrate him by theming his funeral “Yesu adi Nkunim,” which translates to “God is the winner.”
This choice has sparked significant concern for the broadcaster, who questioned the appropriateness of such a celebration given the circumstances surrounding KODA’s death, especially since he left behind a wife and children.
In her social media post, she raised thought-provoking questions about the family’s intentions behind the theme. Ohemaa wondered if the slogan was genuinely meant to glorify God or if it inadvertently mocked the late musician’s tragic circumstances.
“So ‘Yesu adi nkunim’ in this circumstance? Is that not degrading to God? Why do we make God look bad in unfortunate situations? A 45-year-old man (KODA) died leaving a wife and children… apparently took the wrong medication for eight months and we say ‘Yesu adi nkunim.’ Is that a praise to God or mockery? Can there be a better expression rather than this misrepresentation?”
Her poignant remarks highlight the complexities of mourning and how public displays can sometimes overshadow the gravity of loss. Ohemaa Woyeje’s comments have resonated with many, prompting a broader discussion about the intersection of faith, grief, and public perception in Ghanaian society.
