Komla Dumor who died just yesterday 18th January, 2014 in his apartment in London posted this in his facebook recently.

God has been v good to me.,last year I experienced a lot of illness ..my BP nearly gave me a stroke but I trod on..waking up at 2am and heading to work..exhausted sometimes..aching in my body a soul..mentally and emotionally drained ..but I kept going ..I smiled for the camera..I volunteered for extra shifts ..I showed respect to my colleagues from directors to the security guards..I took a lot of jealousy driven vicious insults and backstabbing  from petty people without reply..I remain silent in my personal strife and misery..I kept smiling and pushing on to present better and to engage w my audience and increase my following.,long days and frustrating times..but I kept going..through the west gate mall coverage through the Mandela funeral..even when illness had me collapsing I delivered..today my boss the head of television called me for a 1 minute meeting..he said Komla we have decided to make you the anchor presenter for our coverage of the World Cup in Brazil ..we shook hands and I left..I looked to the sky and said thank you Lord for reminding me that you are on my side ..the enemy will be scattered..Selah!Selah! Praise Him..tomorrow is another day.

....and this is another facebook update posted on 12th July, 2012.

A few years ago my colleague Frederica Boswell told me she had a spare ticket to a Lucky Dube concert in London. I am a huge Dube fan but I knew the concert would run late into the night so I turned it down because I was presenting BBC Network Africa that evening.Freddie suggested we go from the concert straight to work. Freddie goes hard like that! I stuck to my guns and missed the concert.Days later Lucky Dube was dead-shot to death-and the interview Freddie did at the concert set the tone for the memorial I presented on the same show .We are just visitors in this world so enjoy the moments with the people who you love and who love you. Work hard but make time for family and for true friends so when you are gone they will think of good times and the stories from your journeys together.
