Legendary singer cum songwriter, Abrantie Amakye Dede has said that it is worthless to honor people for their achievements only after they’re dead and gone.

According to one of Ghana’s premier high-life artists popularly referred to as “Iron Boy”, legends in the country must be rewarded and celebrated accordingly when they are alive.

He disclosed in an interview that as humans if you have a way to honor somebody for their achievement, you have to do that when the person is still alive.

“But when you wait till the person dies and after the person’s death you decide to reward their achievements, I feel that it is of no worthy value to the person.

“So if we have any form of recognition to honour our legends, it is this time that we’re alive and not dead that we ought to be celebrated and rewarded accordingly”.

Abrantie continued that because they have done a lot of good things for the country.
