Multiple award-winning Ghanaian poet and playwright, Oswald George Okaitei, has eulogised the late dancehall artist, Ebony — real name Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng for her contributions toward the Ghanaian entertainment industry. The outstanding Spoken Word artist, Oswald, who also attended 7 Great Princes Academy, the same basic school the late “Sponsor†hitmaker, Ebony, attended has composed an elegy for the celebrated fallen dancehall hero. Shatta Wale and Asamoah Gyan, the Black Stars Captain among others also attended the 7 Great Princes Academy. Oswald, who composed the poem on behalf of the old students of school expressed the shock and pains with which both the old and current students received the news of Ebony’s sudden death. The poem also recounted Ebony’s demise as a big loss to the school, her family and the nation as a whole. Background Ebony, 20, died in a gruesome road accident on Thursday night around 11:30 p.m. at Nyame Bekyere near Mankranso in the Ahafo Ano South District of the Ashanti Region after a head-on collision with a VIP bus. Two others with her in the Jeep she was travelling in, her friend, Franky Kuri and a soldier identified as Francis Atsu Vondee also passed away. The beautiful artiste was returning from Sunyani where she visited her mum who had arrived in Ghana from the United Kingdom. Below is the poem: EBONY’S ELEGY With heart of grief With heart, so soured, Ebony, The Diva Ebony, But now, Alas, With heart of grief We mourn Ebony, *Afia’s day—Friday (as called in the Akan language)
