Ghanaian Sports journalist-Christopher Opoku died in the United Kingdom yesterday–after a long battle with cancer of the rectum.
His death came several years after he disclosed and sort of believed he had won the battle against cancer–following a complex procedure.
In 2013, he wrote a long but touching post, explaining to the world what he had been fighting and how happy he’s to have won it.
It’s sad he didn’t live for long, as everyone expected.
Read that long piece below…
Some of us have realised that life is too short and therefore if you have anything nice to say about somebody, including our partners, it must be said NOW that they are alive.
When you do this, others get pissed, claiming, you are showing off, you are “too known” or why are you always talking about your wife in such great light.
Now, these people will wait for someone to die to pour out kind words about the person on social media, as if the person will be checking that from his or her grave–words the person will never get to read or hear of.
What’s the point? Is it not hypocritical and absurd to chastise those who celebrate the living on social media while being a gang member of those who celebrate the dead?
Information reaching GhanaCelebrities.Com has it that, one of Ghana’s top sports journalists, Christoper Opoku has died.
In 2013, Christopher posted on Facebook a testimony about his near death experience with cancer of the rectum.
