Efo Kodzo…our last meeting together with Opoman in Accra was great! We relived Mawuli as we reminisced! We planned a repeat performance in December 2011 but alas! As we continue the struggle you go on and Rest in Peace! Your Chicago team from ETA and CSU bids you farewell. I was supposed to deliver a play for your review in December 2011. The team will have to find someone else…but it would not be the same. A Luta Continua!
Efo, Babaa..RIP.
You were one of the reasons I enjoyed Mawuli school so much. I vividly remember the song you taught us for NINO’s night (Arkutu, Mensah, Ocloo, Abadzi, SAFO……) It’s sad you had to leave us so soon. The Almighty knows best. May your soul rest in peace Snr Pascal.
Efo Kojo (Pascal), a giant among men. You will be sorely missed. We remember with great affection, the humour you created, inspired and passed on through your wonderful plays. Your gift of humour lives on through your plays. Thank you for enriching our lives. Rest in Peace.
Sometimes coming events do cast their shadows, and those of us privileged to have met you in Mawuli saw the potential that was so admirably fulfilled. Thanks for showing us that commitment and dedication do indeed help us in realizing our potentials/dreams. Rest in peace
I head it on my way to work. I did not believe it. Then I remembered he asked us all to remember him in our prayers. Them I started fliping the dial. It was all over the airwaves. Then I remembered the 1st of July 2009, when he was the MC at the “borbor” get together at the GBC club house where he auctioned the “hata”. I remember he lead Trost house folks to sing the “kokosatsi” anthem.I remember he said Trost house was the only house with an anthem. Now I remember he is no more. He shall still be REMEMBERED. Efo. Rest In Peace !!
“When wealth is lost, nothing is lost,
When health is lost, something is lost, but
When character is lost, everything is gone”.
Efo Kodjo Mawugbe was a mega star and a huge icon in the arts and culture arena in Ghana, Africa and the world. His image will continue to loom larger than life and his legacy will out-live him.The Mawugbe family, Mawuli School and Ghana should be proud of producing such a gem. May his soul find lasting peace on the right side of God.
Efo Kodzo Mawugbe was our Entertainment Prefect when we were in Form One. He performed his duties to the BEST of his ability. No wonder he stood tall in his chosen Profession.This teaches us that we should identify our TALENT(S) and develop them to the maximum.Efo, Rest in Peace
Indeed a great tree has fallen and Ghana lost one of its illustrous son.Efo did not just make Mawuli proud but Ghana as well.May his soul rest in peace.
Efo, as you sleep, may you wake p to a brighter day.
May you wake up in the peacefull bossom of our Lord and Saviour.
You will be forever remembered in my heart.
It is said, ‘Death is the doorway home’. Snr Pascal, you have done your bit (a very great bit at that), Rest in your Maker’s arms. Dzudzor le nutifafa mavor me. May the angels bear you home graciously. Hede nyuie.
Sometimes it is not how long we live on this earth that matters, but how we live and what we did during our sojourn on earth that sets us apart from our friends and relatives. And it is always no telling how much we have impacted the lives of others such that in death we are still greatly missed. But of all our good or bad deeds on this earth, it is the care, compassion, goodwill, understanding and concern we show toward our fellow human beings that count the most. My friend and mentor,EFO KOJO MAWUGBE was such a person, and this is why I have undertaken on these page to remember him, honor him, and share with you his good deeds.
In this regard, someone once said: A Good Friend is “the siblings God forgot to give us.” And another said: “I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.” But as for those of us who were considered Efo’s friends – we saw him as “a four leaf clover, HARD TO FIND and LUCKY TO HAVE,” because he made the world SPECIAL just by being in it. Most people walk in and out of our lives, but only friends leave footprints in our hearts.As a mentor a friend and a brother to many,Efo Kojo was actively involved in religious, social and political activities
Efo knows that his Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after his (Efo Kojo) skin worms destroy his body, yet in his flesh, he shall see God. For there shall be no more death, neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away. So fare thee well, my friend,my brother may your soul rest in perpetual peace! And I trust that the Great Lord will richly reward you for your great works on earth, and protect you until such time that we shall meet again. May your soul rest in perfect peace!
The other side of Fo Kojo Mawugbe (Snr. Pascal), he was an athletic, a 400m runner. Very impressive when he gets to the ‘Aku Corner’ and raises his hands, one must be assured he will be in the medal zone.A goal keeper for the house and the school team. We remember him sharing 7 goals with Snr.Akordor (of wilberforce)
during a match with then Ho Tech.We also remember him for the weekly articles Araba Season in the Weekend Mirror(Azalo, Adzovi
,Goviofe Todzi etc) were all featured well to our admiration because some of us knew the characters and locations. During the inter house plays Fo Kojo wrote for most of the houses in the school. The latter continued nationally and Internationally.Who takes over from you? Fo Kojo? Lucas, Adovor,David Kwadey etc.We are grateful Fo Kojo was at the 60th Anniversary, and while we were at the Dinner Dance (Woazor Hotel) he was directing one of his plays in the schools Dinning hall. That is what Fo Kojo Mawugbe
had left behind for Mawuli School.OMSU pick it up from there.Snr.
Pascal rest well. Amen. Don King (KNUST Kumasi Ghana)
Oh,Efo your death made me sad,I had the chance to see you in person during the anniversary and I was really glad,but unfortunately you left us,the Mawuli family has lost a gem.May your gentle soul soul be laid down peacefully,AMEN
Efo, the last time we spoke it was about our mutual project which had been in limbo for a few years. We were going to revive it. Then you ‘blasted’ me for abandoning creative writing for something else. I understood. I’d like you to know that I’ve started again. Eei! Efo Kodzo! Where’s my share of the BBC prize money. You promised me a cut when you were leaving town for the award, remember? But, hmmm. All I can now is: Rest In Perfect Peace. You deserve it because God Himself knows you’ve done your bit. Na hede nyuiee.
am very sorry to hear these but thought i would i meet him when i will be coming there to school next year may the Almighty God forgive him his Sin and guide him till we all meet in the spiritual world AMEN??????????????????????????????
A MIGHTY TREE HAS FALLEN,THIS TREE CAN NEVER BE REPLACED. EFO KOJO PLAYED THE ROLE OF A BIG BRO AND A FATHER TO MOST OF US AND ESPECIALLY ME AT MAWULI. HE HATE TO SEE ME GET INTO TROUBLE WHICH I DO ANYWAY. EFO KOJO, HAVIWO MOURN YOU,THE NATIONAL THEATRE MOURN YOU, THE WHOLE NATION WAILS FOR YOU BUT UNFORTUNATELY YOU HEAR NON OF THEM.YOU HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT AND DONE YOUR BEST IN LIFE.WILL THERE BE ANY REPLACEMENT, NO I DON’T THINK SO.

Although the death of Efo is painful, my only prayer is that God should grant him a safe place in Heaven and may his soul rest in perfect peace.

…yes…Efo… I have never met you but I heard of your great name withing the four walls of ‘Mawuli kpodzi’
“I’ll remember you in sunshine
Its rays warming earth and sky
I’ll remember you in bird’s graceful wings
As they glide and flutter by
I’ll remember you in the summer breeze
And in softly falling rain
I’ll remember you in dark storm clouds
The rainbow’s picture frame
I’ll remember you in blossoms and fields
And in gentle streams that flow
I’ll remember you in all that lives
All that brings life…that grows
I’ll remember you in the mountains
When golden leaves fall at my feet…”
…”Moment by moment I’ll remember you
You’ll never be too far away
Because I’ll keep you in my heart
Each and every day”
xede nyuie ne nadzudzor le nutifafa me.
I PRAY THAT U REST IN THE BOSSOM OF YOUR CREATOR.U HAVE KEPT YHE FAITH,FINISHED THE RACE.REST IN PEACE
