    Ofori Amponsah laments, “In our part of the world, people only celebrate you when you are dead.”

    A modern Highlife figure named Ofori Amponsah once said he found it upsetting when people earned undeserved praise and notoriety after dying.

    The multi-award-winning performer emphasized the value of aiding people while they are still alive rather than waiting till they die away during an interview with Nana Ama Mcbrown on the Onua Showtime show on Sunday, May 2023, which was initially seen by Tru News Report.

    Sometimes people want you to pass away before they praise you and say, “Oh, this guy was good,” he remarked. I rarely go to funerals since I don’t really enjoy them that much. I think it’s important to honour the living.

    “If someone wants a cup of water, offer it to them, don’t wait for them to leave this earth before you go and buy stuff for their funeral”.

    “You can ask someone for 1 cedi and they’ll not give you but wait and let me die, they’ll find large sums of money to buy a coffin or give donations, I don’t understand this behavior, we really need to celebrate the living”.
