“People Do Not Show Care When You Are Alive But Cry And Beg You To Come Back When You Are Dead, Isn’t That Weird?” – Delay Asks

Deloris Frimpong Manso, commonly known as “Delay,” the Ghanaian media figure, has decried the fact that individuals do not show concern for their family members while they are living but mourn when they die.

We value people more when they are dead than when they are alive, not just in Africa but throughout the world. Even if a person is suffering from severe depression and emotional trauma, no one seems to notice.

Families and friends gather as soon as that person passes away to mourn him or her, as though they never cared about the deceased. In the popular Twi slogan “Abusua Do Funu,” the dead are valued more than the living in Ghanaian society.

Delay has expressed her dissatisfaction with the reality that people mourn for the return of a deceased person whom they failed to respect when alive.

Taking to her Twitter, she wrote; When a person dies, people cry and beg them to come back. But when they're alive they don't even show they care about them. Weird, isn't it?
