A former colleague at Mutimedia Group Limited, Eugenia Tachie-Menson wants people to stop reading meanings into the untimely death of BBC presenter Komla Dumor. 

The BBC's presenter of the Focus on Africa programme and former host of Joy FM's Super Morning Show, Komla Dumor died last Saturday morning of a heart attack in London.

The ace Ghanaian journalist, 2003 winner of the  GJA Journalist of the year, hosted the Joy FM Super Morning Show for ten years before proceeding to the BBC in 2007 where he hosted a number of programmes including the BBC World News, Focus on Africa, Network Africa.

Lamenting the media icon's demise, she says death is inevitable and that even the people who exercise eventually die of something.

Social media has been buzzing with stories about Komla's allegedly unhealthy lifestyle. There is one on facebook in which Komla Dumor is seen with his friend Herbert Mensah beaming and sharing a big slice of beef.

A friend's comment posted on January 6th read "that beef is a heart attack waiting to happen".

But Eugenia wants Ghanaians to stop reading meaning into his death.

She argues that if indeed the BBC presenter died of hypertension or heart attack, a painful condition to be in, we should rather be comforted in knowing that the respected presenter is in a better place.

She wants Ghanaians especially Christians to show more confidence and trust in God's ways and desist from questioning God's decisions to take his life.

"The more we question the more we become bitter", she noted.

Meanwhile, Komla Dumor's successor on Joy FM's Super Morning Show has described as an injustice, the untimely death of his mentor.

Choking with tears, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah lamented "it is so unfair to see a young man at the prime, doing so well snatched".

Kojo Oppong Nkrumah who recalled how he grew up listening to Komla Dumor from 1997 to 2007 when he left for the BBC. "I think I was in JSS 3 at the time", he recalls.

Speaking on the Super Morning Show Monday dedicated to celebrating the life of one of Ghana's greatest media icons, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said he once called into a DJ Black programme where Komla Dumor was a guest.

Kojo revealed his admiration for the man called the 'Boss Player" and told him, he would like to be like him.

He remembers Komla encouraged him to push himself and work hard.

"He was a teacher, a mentor.... I just loved his confidence, I just loved his sense of forthrightness. Komla was very committed to the job" - a refrain running through all the tributes flowing in.

"He is irreplacable", Kolo eulogised and gave condolensce to the late presenter's wife and family.
