I come here often to listen to Komla. I began my podcast utilizing the power of storytelling because of him. He made me really understand the power there is to inspire and motivate people.
"Until the lion learns how to write, every story will glorify the hunter." I love this proverb meaning. It's time to learn to write, teach others to do so and pass on to generations to rewrite history. Thank you Komla Dumor for the inspiration.
Routinely, I come here to watch Komla on his birthdays and death anniversaries. Today being the 18th of January, I'm here once again to pay tribute to this gallant son of the land. It's been 7 years and I'm looking forward to seeing a biographical work published to honor his name, at least.
First, I appreciated hearing the Nigerian song (singing of peace, unity, and love); so beautiful. I am a citizen of the USA and it is such a contrast to the United States song ("and the rockets red glare, bombs bursting in air"). Secondly, yes, there must be a balanced presentation of the lives of people of color; globally. If you're going to show the village, then also show the city and vice versa. Finally, it is important for each of us to tell our own story; whether it be countries or individuals. No one can tell my story better than me because I've lived it! Peace.
I miss Komla Dumor sooooo much! Hearing his voice again, i am moved to tears. Then in the USA, i paid extra with Comcast cable so i could watch BBC world Service and see Komla every 8.00 pm EST. BBC was the best then. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen!
RIP!!! 😭. oh komla, your days were short on earth but you really really lived and left such a legacy. am so glad BBC named a scholarship after him. in his short time at BBC he made such an impact and lived to tell Africa's story. you are really missed. rest in peace in a better place.🙏
Nigeria people are treating Indian's people with respect, kindness and humility while the Indians are Nigérians with hate ans even west as far as killing them as if Nigerians are the cost of their poverty, look there os poverty every where even in almighty America and Europe they should get that. Peace.
How come I never heard of this fine gentleman? Best TedEx presentation ever. Similar Nigeria story where crude oil sold to the West at peanuts and refined products imported at 100000%. No Nigerian refinery works at full capacity as we speak.
I have tears in my eyes and chills down my spine. I remember hearing that voice on Joy Fm for years. We will forever miss you Komla. Rest in peace bro.
Ok.. That moment You watch that vidéo and think Komla Dumor is the most charismatic and maybe the sexiest man you' ve ever seen. You read the comments looking for someone who thought the same before you and all You see is RIP comments.. Damn.
Familiar with Komla and his work at BBC for a little over three years, I can truly say that he was one of the best. He may have been from Ghana but he was Africa's ambassador in the broadcast industry. I will miss his big smile and the self confidence he exuded in all of his broadcasts. My deepest condolence to his family and to a dear friend who I never did meet, person to person, RIP. You made us proud!
I remember watching this man on BBC and knowing he was Ghanaian, I would watch CNN because i loved it more but will still tune in to BBC just to see Komla Dumor. RIP once again, Young King!
Wow i love this, May his soul rest in peace. I saw this just 4 years after its publishing date. I am sharing it. He might be gone but he left us this message. Love from Botswana.
Wow... when they started singing I almost lost it... as soon as they stood and sang that anthem I started to tear up... absolutely beautiful. I'm an American. We have been scattered. Finding things that connect us... a sense of unity, music... it is wonderful. As we learn each others stories we will be better prepared to unite and climb to heights never before seen in history.
Komla.....you have really made my day. Your confidence and special ways of speaking using real African cultural communication skills and the inspiration you give will live forever with us.....Yes, it is true the tongue NEVER DIES....R.I.P brother.
@@DilysSillah true...but his early years was spent in Nigeria; his father was a lecturer at Bayero University Kano, and he was my block mate at the University of Jos, where he'd gained admission to read Medicine at age Sixteen. Things didn't work out as planned, so he had to go back to Ghana. He was a lovely soul.
So full of life and laughter. Best Ted Talk I have ever seen. I watch it from time to time to brighten my day. Make difference while you can. R.I.P. Brother Komla
Rest in Peace Komla - I hope your wife and children continue to be proud of everything you did to lift up the continent. Mama Africa is still proud of you. May your memory always lighten up our days. We all miss you!
Charles Lotara Not true. They glorify Saudi Arabia more. Their identity is arabo-african. Bunch of traitors over there. In my country in center, We love Africa in its purity, with no influence of the oppressors religions, Islam.
Adejoke Bakare then tell me about that region! Tell me that it's not under the influence of Arabs leaders! Even little Morocco and Algeria influence you. At the same time French, UK and USA control what's left from your culture and economy. Your islam religion will eventually bring terror in whole Africa! Stop being Arabo-africans. Your spiritual leaders captuted you for slavery and still do, yet you love Mecca! Sad.
Charles Lotara Answering your question I believe it's because west Africa has embraced Christianity and Islam but it has not forgotten its African spirituality Root's. Maybe except for South Africa. In order to have an identity to Africa, one has to know them self, it only comes when you know yourself through your own concept's your own African concepts.
Tariro Taruvinga I am an African American, but i want to know about my African roots. I heard the anthem and it help me to understand it a little bit more. Here is thing, I would consider myself sincerely wanting to find out about my ancestors. I want to teach my kids the truth. Why withhold your gift of the truth from those who want to know?
Several instances have i used this ace broadcaster/journalist as an inspiration for spontaneity and wit in all things that i do so long as the subject "media" comes into play. The majority say i sound like him well that's because he mirrorizes my personality. R.I.P Komla. we will continue from where you ended and will surely bring you the trophy when we meet again someday.
Komla you did so much in your given time. Journey on to greater things in service. You said so much in 19 minutes. Afrikans must learn about themselves and the beautiful continent,the pan Afrikan way! It doesn't matter about language, traditions, the divisions etc. What matters is our love for the continent and all that it has been given by The Creator. If we had followed Nkrumah's dream and not allowed outside influences to divide us, we would be standing in gratitude in honour of The Most High. It lies with the next generation to develop the necessary insights and strength.
As a young man who loves Africa, this is one of the most refreshing Ted Talks I have seen in a while. And then to know this young man passed away, and to then again realize Today he would have been 45 years old. Being an entrepreneur and investor in emerging markets, this young man hit every note. Ma'ma Africa
Your message is still so relevant today. Stumbled on this tedtalk while searching and got hooked till the end. What a talent! RIP Komla you were a gem.
Komla Dumor, you lived your life impeccably and we will always remember the high standard and excellence you epitomized. Efo Komla Dumor rest in perfect peace.
Gone too soon Komla Dumor, your talent and passion for the Motherland will be greatly missed! May the doors you opened expand beyond what you imagined! R.I.P!
just watched this clip for the first time. Special does not begin to describe this gentle giant. I started watching his show 2years ago and I feel like i've lost a friend. You are great! Wonderful and a beautiful soul that words cannot describe. God bless your soul and may you rest in eternal peace. You are loved!
R.I.P Brother.......Dr. Elleni is really one of the most amazing women Africa have. By creating the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (EIC) she helped millions of Ethiopian farmers to have a direct access to the current market values of their crops and put their own price tag and get the benefits of their hard work. Where as earlier the middleman was the beneficiary of the farmers sweat and dedication....salute all African brothers and sisters who have been working hard to improve the livelihood of their communities.
So much has been said but all the same feel like I have to drop a word brother... Not many people of my age inspire me, you're the most prominent and I Salute you. I believe you departing has created a much bigger awareness and consciousness about Africa and within its people. Chaley, I believe you dey chill with the ancestors and they are all over you! Rest in peace brother!
I just came to the comments to say how much i enjoyed this video and i'm seeing people say he has passed on. Rest in Power Komla Dumor! You've surely impacted my life with this talk.
Rest in Peace Komla.. Thanks for your legacy of promoting and providing insight into various African businesses. Your show played a pivotal role in my interest in my continent's opportunities and business ties.
Every Time We See Him? This Journalist?.....Is Like... "{Breaking. News!!}"... He Comes With...."TRUE TRUE"....... PERFORMANCE!!!... WITH GREAT... {PERFECTION!!!} {THANK YOU!!}
I had no idea that he had passed as I just became aware of this clip last week. I was so impressed that I sent it out to my friends. This was one heavy Brother who connected with my core. So sad.

Still hard to believe. You spent your days well on earth and you deserve to be celebrated. Your life and death has really inspired me. I know I'm going to be a better person, thanks to you. Komla, do have an eternal rest. You may be gone but you'll never be forgotten. Damirafa due!! :(

RIP Boss Player....If i were a family Member, I will be glad and not Sad, because with the few years you lived, you made the mark, you put your family in the limelight. And above all your young soul will forever be remebered. RIP Boss Player. As William Shakespeare rightly puts it, “all the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.” RIP
In 2024 I'm here watching this beautiful talent. Continue to rest well, Komla Dumor.
What are you doing now?
I come here often to listen to Komla. I began my podcast utilizing the power of storytelling because of him. He made me really understand the power there is to inspire and motivate people.

I went to high school with this guy's nephew...may Komla Dumor rest in peace. This guy was such a blessing to Ghana, he is deeply missed.
Komla! 10 years you’ve been gone but your voice; your greatest God-given gift still transcends. Brilliant and funny. Rest in glory!
