KODA died at age 45, left behind children and you’re saying ‘Yesu adi nkunim’? – Ohemaa Woyeje asks

Ghanaian radio personality Ohenemaa Woyeje has raised concerns over the song performed at the funeral service of the late gospel singer Kofi Owusu Dua Anto, popularly known as KODA.

In a social media post, the radio presenter, who doubles as an MC, questioned artistes Joe Mettle and others who performed the song, Yesu Adi Nkunim, at the burial service, stating that the song performed was “unfortunate,” given the circumstances under which the singer died, leaving behind a wife and three children.

“‘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,” she wrote.

She added, “‘Yesu adi nkunim’ is that a praise to God or mockery? Can there be a better expression rather than this misrepresentation?”

Background

Singer KODA passed away in the early hours of Sunday, April 21, 2024, following a brief illness.

He was laid to rest on Friday, September 20, 2024, after a funeral service at the Kingsway International Christian Center (KICC) Dominion Center on Spintex Road in Accra.

At his solemn all-white funeral, members of the gospel music fraternity, including Joe Bechem, Mary Ghansah, Joe Mettle, and others, were present.
