An audio recording of the late Ghanaian Gospel musician Jacob Ajola, in which he offers crucial guidance to his younger brother, identified only as Eben, on navigating life’s challenges, has reignited discussions surrounding his tragic passing.
The message, shared on Neat FM in Accra, captures Ajola imparting heartfelt words of advice to his brother. He urged Eben to prioritise prayer and focus on building a secure future. “Do not play with prayer. I want you to take your finances seriously,” Ajola emphasised.
He encouraged Eben to focus on self-improvement, work towards financial independence, and delay marriage until he was established, saying, “When you are established, you get the woman to marry. Focus on yourself. Build yourself. Learn, pray, make money. Build yourself. I wish somebody had given me this advice some time ago.”
Ajola also stressed the importance of financial stability, cautioning that a lack of it often strains relationships. “I’m not saying anybody is bad. But what I’m saying is the reason they will leave you is because you don’t have money. So why don’t you make the money? Build yourself,” he explained.
At one point, Ajola instructed Eben to contact a colleague to collect his belongings, suggesting he might not be around much longer. He promised to continue supporting him in spirit, saying, “I’m praying with you. Wherever I am. I’m going to be praying with you. Because you will not see me again.”
Ajola took his own life in October 2024, leaving behind a heartbreaking note, an event that has deeply saddened his fans and the Christian community.
