Legendary Highlife musician Nana Tabiri has expressed his views on who should pass away first in a marriage between a man and a woman.
He believes that women take better care of children in marriages than men do, and therefore, if anyone should die first in a marriage, it should be the men, not the women.
Discussing this topic with actress Martha Joyce (MATJOY) on Oyerepa TV’s CineFie, Nana Tabiri stated, “Death is a benefit for every human being after enough struggles in life, and I fear death because once you are taken, forever you are gone. A teenager who loses his/her life doesn’t benefit from death. As we speak, any man whose wife dies first in marriage is a witch.”
He continued, “If the woman isn’t a witch or a cheat and performs all her responsibilities as a good wife and still loses her life first in marriage, then the man should be questioned. A rooster doesn’t cater for chicks, but a hen does, so any man whose wife dies first in marriage is a witch.”
Nana Tabiri, who began his music and cultural career in the early 80s, is credited with songs such as ‘Sɛ Asa,’ ‘Apim Abu,’ ‘Boaduwaa,’ ‘Abrantiwaa,’ ‘Obenebene,’ ‘Bibi Besi,’ ‘Bediako,’ and many others.
