Controversial comedian and TV presenter, Afia Schwarzenegger, has asked Ghanaians to show love to people when they are alive and well and not wait until they are dead.
Afia Schwarzenegger in a video posted on Instagram said she was appalled by how people quickly jumped on social media to mourn the late Bishop Bernard Nyarko, shedding fake tears and eulogies, when they did nothing to help him when he was sick.
According to her, Ghanaians only come together to show love to anyone is when the person has passed on.
Using herself as an example, Afia Schwarzenegger claims she has not been feeling well, and no one has called to check up on her, but she is sure that if she passes on, there will be lots of love shown to her dead body.
“Why do we as Ghanaians love the dead this much? I remember when the man was sick, we heard his colleagues claimed they tried to call him and didn’t get any response, but still they were able to hear it when he died. Show love to people when they are alive because what I have observed is that the only time the whole Ghana comes together to show you love is when you have died,” she stated.
The brother of Bishop Bernard Nyarko in an interview on Kasapa 102.5 FM, asked colleague actors of his deceased brother not to blame their mother for blocking them from visiting the demised.
“He didn’t like the idea of being visited by all sorts of people, and later find his pictures flooded on social media and all that. You could even agree with me that some people want absolute privacy on their sickbed, while others also will want to open their doors for loved ones to visit. But we want to make it clear that the family, especially my mother acted on the command of our deceased brother,” he said on Kasapa 102.5 FM
