When he got married he stopped because he had moved on from bachelorhood\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Thursday, I was just standing there [in front of Joy FM] and he came around to tell me \u2018Osofo I hear you\u2019ve parked behind me as for you, I know you can stand here up to 10 pm but as you know me, I have a wife and a child. They are waiting for me in the house so I have to go\u2019,\u201d the Presence Ministry founder added.<\/p>\n<p>He said he jokingly quizzed KABA if he was going to use his marriage as a punchline in their conversations which the late presenter urged him to also marry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFriday we all saw him and then on Saturday I heard the news that this had happened. In fact, last year we had the shock of Danny Nettey\u2019s death and that death devasted me,\u201d he mourned.<\/p>\n<p>Bernard Amankwah added \u201cKABA is too close and we shared a lot\u2026it\u2019s been challenging,\u201d for me and his death has made me reevaluate my life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe smile of KABA, the humility, there was not even a day that we chatted that he ever got angry. Ever since I\u2019ve known KABA, not a single day will pass that you will not see him smiling and joking with other people,\u201d the singer eulogised.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, KABA respected \u201ceverybody irrespective of your age or stature. That is one thing I will hold dear, his life has taught us a lot\u2026KABA\u2019s lifestyle has thought me a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>KABA was pronounced dead on arrival at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital where he was rushed after he fell sick early Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>He was 37 years. He left behind his wife, Valentina Ofori Agyei, also a broadcaster with Accra-based Class FM and a seven-month-old daughter.<\/p>\n<p>Until his death, KABA was the host of Asempa FM\u2019s flagship afternoon political programme, \u2018Ekosii Sen\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 31 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 22 November 2017 Source: &#8212;
