I like listening to some of Sarkodie\u2019s songs that I play in my car while driving and not talking about Nana Kwame Ampedu, Adofo, Alhaji K. Frimpong\u2019s songs and the others which has wisdom in it. I will listen to it if there\u2019s wisdom in Bob Marley and Lucky Dube\u2019s songs. I listen to these songs because of the wisdom I derive from them thus so far as the secular songs speak wisdom, I\u2019ll listen to them\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.69 --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; &#8211; Rev.
