Ohenemaa questioned whether it was appropriate to sing Yesu Adi Nkunim (meaning “Jesus is victorious”) at the burial service, given the circumstances surrounding KODA’s death, leaving behind a wife and three children.
In her post, she wrote, “Yesu adi nkunim in this circumstance? Is that not degrading to God? Why do we make God look bad in unfortunate situations? A 45-year-old man (KODA) died leaving a wife and children.”
She added, “Is Yesu adi nkunim a praise to God or mockery? Can there be a better expression rather than this misrepresentation?”
The song in question was composed by the late Gospel singer, but it was originally titled ‘Hosanna’ and remains one of his most popular songs. The ambulance that carried his remains to the cemetery had a customised number plate with the song’s title.
Ohenemaa’s comments have sparked conversation on social media, with some agreeing with her sentiment. In contrast, others argue that the song was meant to celebrate KODA’s faith in Christ, even in death.
