Ghana is mourning the loss of a true musical icon—Charles Kwadwo Fosu, known to all as Daddy Lumba—whose passing has left a deep void in the hearts of millions.
But as tributes pour in and his timeless melodies echo across the country, one particular song has taken on even deeper meaning: “Me Mpaebɔ Ni”, his classic gospel cry meaning “My Prayer Doesn’t Die.”
Released in the early 1990s, the song wasn’t just music—it was a soulful conversation between Lumba and his Maker, a heartfelt plea to be heard, comforted, and guided. It captured the essence of human struggle—something he never shied away from in his music.
“Tie me sufrɛ ma me mpaebɔ nnuru W’anim”
(Hear my supplication; let my prayer find favor before You)
These words, once a spiritual balm to a nation, now echo as a farewell message from an artist who lived, loved, suffered, and triumphed—all through his songs.
Now, as the nation reflects on his life and contributions, “Me Mpaebɔ Ni” is no longer just a song—it has become a symbol of the man, his faith, and his final message.
“He gave us danceable hits, love ballads, and provocative verses,” a fan wrote online, “but it’s this simple gospel tune that feels like his real goodbye.”
As Ghanaians mourn, churches, radio stations, and homes across the country are turning to the song that once lifted spirits during hard times—and now comforts us as we say farewell to a legend.
Daddy Lumba may be gone, but his prayer lives on.
Me mpaebɔ ni.
As Ghanaians are mourning Daddy Lumba, Yaa Tiwaa the barren woman in the Me mpaebɔ ni tune has been found and she spoke to the media.
