BIOGRAPHY A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF MR. HENRY NII DODOO

enry Nii Dodoo was born in Accra on February 24th, 1936, to Mr. Robert Asharley Dodoo from Pokuase, Manhia and Kate Dodoo from the Vanderpuje family of Kokomlemle.

came back to work with the University Farms for two years and soon had employment with the then G.C.M.T in Kumasi for higher pay and better benefits. While in Kumasi, he met his wife, Ms. Loveluck Ama Amuquandoh, a trained teacher and got married in 1970.

Henry started his elementary phase of education at Anumle Government School in Achimota and completed in 1954. Being the first male child of his family, he learnt a lot of skills from his late dad, who worked as a handyman and a sign writer at the famous Achimota School. He helped his dad to build their family house at Abofu.

Henry was a man of utter integrity, honesty, and hard work. He was promoted to management position in the early 1970’s and was later was transferred to head the then G.C.M.T branch in Tamale. After working for two years with the company, he resigned, and begun a large-scale rice, maize, groundnuts, cattle-rearing, etc. business, of which he managed for over 40 years. After the 1981 coup, farm inputs became very expensive, and most businesses had a nosedive. Thus, Henry started a Supermarket business as an add-on, to sustain the family. Henry and Love are blessed with four children: Kate, Robert, Roderick, and Henry Jr. in addition to his older daughters; Veronica, Gloria (deceased), and Gladys.

Having completed his elementary education, he further learnt a trade as an apprentice in machinery repairs. This enabled him gain employment at the then European-run Legon University Farms. He soon found it necessary to upgrade his educational standard. He took night classes and earned himself the then Technical Education Certificate. In 1964, Henry was accorded a scholarship to study Engineering in Agricultural Machinery and Equipment in Canada. After his education, he

When it came to the home, Henry was very family-oriented and conservative. He was a BURIAL / FUNERAL SERVICE OF MR. HENRY NII DODOO

disciplinarian and a perfectionist and always expected the best of the children. Henry had great leadership skills and very sociable. His passion for charity gingered him to join various groups and societies. He was a very active member of the Men's fellowship of the Anglican Church. In 2003, He was enstooled as the ‘’Ga tribal chief’’ to head the Ga Community in Tamale until 2015 when he relocated to Accra. He maintained his position and executed his duties even when he visited his children outside the country. Henry was also instrumental in executing community projects especially with the Rotary Club, in providing good portable drinking water to the Gushie Village, some thirty miles away from Tamale. This helped alleviate guinea worm infections among the Gushie community. He always loved to serve

BURIAL / FUNERAL SERVICE OF MR. HENRY NII DODOO

and lived the Rotary motto to the letter; ‘Service above Self.’ He was humble, polite, a gentleman, and loved to maintain harmonious relationship with everyone. Henry set an exemplary life as a husband, father, grandfather, and a big brother. We will miss him more than words can express. He will always be in our hearts. Demrifa dwe!

TRIBUTE BY

Wife

MRS. LOVE AMA DODOO (NEE LOVELUCK AMA AMUQUANDOH)

“The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:28). o one knows when his/her hour will come. As fishes are caught in cruel nets, or birds are taken in a snare, men are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them. The words found in Ecclesiastes 9:12 were not said in vain. Henry, you assured me with your words of “eba hi” (Ga language meaning “it shall be well”). I believed it will be well on Saturday the 11th of September. I saw it on your face, and I heard it in your voice on the video call. There was no need to say goodbye. This is why it is hard to accept your unexpected exit the next day, September 12th, 2021. My heart tore completely in two.

The death of a loved one is a painful experience like no other. The world around me moved on that day, but I was transfixed and stuck in the movie theater of my mind, replaying, and watching the scenes of all the memories we shared. The hot tears relentlessly flowed. I become too tired and overwhelmed to control them. We were

BURIAL / FUNERAL SERVICE OF MR. HENRY NII DODOO

together for 50 years and throughout those years you were physically strong and never had any major health issues as opposed to me, who had frequent health issues. Despite my health issues, you supported me and always encouraged me to do a lot of walking to keep my joints and limbs strong. I cherish this one advice with more appreciation in this season of my life. You were gifted with physical strength, and it equally translated to your emotional strength. You were a wellmannered gentleman, exemplary of politeness. Your great sense of humour and wittiness attracted many around you. Everyone felt comfortable, secure, and loved in your presence. This is why your absence is the sting that we feel. Henry and I met in Kumasi and got married in our youthful years. He was in his early 30's and I was just in my early 20's. He worked with the then G.C.M.T as an Agricultural Mechanical Engineer whilst I was a Cert. 'A' teacher in a Girls’ Middle School, now a Junior High School. Henry’s hard work advanced him to an impressive managerial position to take charge of the G.C.M.T branch in Tamale in the North. Furthermore, He doubled as manager and engineer for all Agricultural machines sold by the company. Under his leadership, he employed and trained many young men around the Tamale municipality, to enable them repair farmers’ tractors on the farm fields. He demanded of them to work with the highest integrity just as he did. After working for two years at G.C.M.T, Henry

resigned and acquired his agricultural machinery and pursued rigorous commercial farming in 1972. One of Henry’s proudest outlets was becoming a founding member of his local Rotary Club of Tamale in the early 1980’s, when he joined the Rotary Club of Tamale. For of his love to serve and to give back to the community, the then leadership of the club, saw how he could be of immense benefit to the club and appointed him to oversee many humanitarian projects, such as bore hole installations in some villages in the Northern Region of Ghana. Some of these projects is still benefiting the communities today. Henry and I had wonderful fun time together over the years. We explored many interesting places, including during his last visit to the U.S. In our early marriage life, he taught me how to operate the tractor and the combine harvester. And looking back now, this was something very few women were capable of doing in our time. Henry loved sports and music. He bought any newly released good music, especially gospel and highlife. He was an ardent soccer fan. By the grace and mercies of the almighty God, Henry and I are blessed with four children, our beautiful daughter Kate and our three sons, Robert, Roderick, and Henry Jr., in addition to Henry's older daughters: Veronica, Gloria and Gladys. Henry set a very good example as a father, husband, and grandfather. He was spiritually strong and compassionate and BURIAL / FUNERAL SERVICE OF MR. HENRY NII DODOO

had a clever sense of humor. Above all he loved and cherished his family and friends. Every relationship or marriage has its own ups and downs. We had our share of it but making up and resolving them was magical. There are so many things I wish I had said or done but sadly you are gone. But I want you to know that though you are out of sight, you will

BURIAL / FUNERAL SERVICE OF MR. HENRY NII DODOO

always be in our hearts, and I find real comfort in the psalmist words that states “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:28). May the good Lord keep you in his perfect peace. Fare you well. "Da yie’’, Henry. - LOVE DODOO

Daddy passed on 12th September 2021. In the very recent years, I have always dreaded the day I would be told he was gone forever. I always drew assurance and faith from the tremendous strength our father exhibited, taking his age into consideration. He was a fit man. Ever since we grew up to be aware of our surroundings and what happens around us, our father had never been admitted to any hospital or seriously fallen ill. The very first day we heard our dad was on admission was on 6th September 2021, and words can't describe how worried we all felt. Even though we all agree that death would come knocking at some point in time, we didn’t expect our dad’s death would come so sudden. Death is a part of life. And once it strikes someone you so dearly love, your existence will never be the same. While I hope you never have to experience such a life-altering loss, the truth is, we all will.

through it, but I don’t expect we will get over it. How can we? How can one get over a person who has been there since before you were even aware of yourself? Your love for music, dancing and good things is a trait we will always hold on to. Daddy, indeed, you are our knight in shining armor. You will forever be in our hearts. Your life, your influence, your energy, integrity, and your hard work is all inextricably linked to us, and we now take comfort in that. We take comfort in knowing that our dad is gone to rest in a better place in heaven. We will love you always and will cherish the special moments we all had with you. You will forever remain special to us. Rest in peace, daddy!!! Rest in peace.! -YOUR CHILDREN

TRIBUTE BY

Grandchildren TO OUR GRANDFATHER,

To our grandfather, e enjoyed the small, but special moments we spent together, grandpa. We thank you for instilling a strong work ethic in us. We miss your special dances and daily morning walks. Every time you see any of us you would ask ‘Te oyoo te?’ (Ga language meaning how are you?) and would want us to respond ‘Mi yo ojogbann’ (I am doing well). You have always been such an inspiration to all of us, as we admired your intelligence and wisdom. Grandpa, though we will miss you dearly, we will always think of you with a smile. May you rest in peace. "Although you can't be here with us, we're truly not apart, you'll forever be living in our hearts."

TRIBUTE TO GRANDPA Dear Grandpa, We write this tribute to you with a grateful heart to God for giving you to us as our grandpa. Meeting you for the first time in our lives in 2014 was one of the best things that happened to Us. This was

because we could also finally share with our friends about our grandpa, which is a very common thing in German culture. Grandpa, it’s amazing how much of your traits I personally inherited; your calmness, soft-spoken voice, orderliness, organizational skills, love for music and guess what! I wear glasses too! Our intended trip to meet you and Grandma in the United Stated in 2020, which was thwarted by the Corona pandemic has never been received well by my siblings and I, and now sadly, YOU ARE GONE FOREVER!!! We miss you so dearly, grandpa and we will take consolation in our video calls we’ve been having with you. Your prayers and lovely special Ga song will never be sung to us again, but we will keep hearing them in our hearts. We will always love you, grandpa. Rest in peace in the bosom of the Lord! -YOUR GRAND CHILDREN

“And I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me, blessed are the dead which is in the Lord from hence forth yea said the spirit, that they may rest from their labor and their works do follow them.” (Rev 14:13) o amount of words can describe the feeling when we heard that you are no more that faithful Sunday. Daa, as we affectionately called him, was not only a father-in-law, but also a father, a friend, and an advisor.

We still remember your sweet advice and prayers you impacted into our lives when you gave your children’s hand in marriage. On that fateful Sunday evening, when the news was conveyed to us, we couldn’t believe our lovely Daa could leave so soon. Your passing has left streams of pain in our hearts. It’s locked whatever future aspirations we weaved with you at the center. Daa, we are most grateful to you for all the love you showed to us and our

children. We love you but the lord loves you most. The flame of joy you lit in our hearts with your smile is vanquished. It’s sad and heart wrenching know you are no more, but our heart is gladdened by the good memories you left us with. Daa, rest thee well. Daa, yaa wo jobgann!!!

Tribute to my loving and caring father-inlaw Henry Nii Dodoo. I am so glad I was able to spend with you during your stay with us in the U.S. Distance was a barrier for you to be a part of our daily life, but I enjoyed every moment you spent with us. I will miss your jokes, laughter, dancing and your ‘teyt3’ greetings. You told me BURIAL / FUNERAL SERVICE OF MR. HENRY NII DODOO

how grateful you were to have me as a daughter-in-law. As a father-in-law and father figure, your absence has left a deep wound in my heart. It is sad to know that you are no longer with us on earth, but your love and peaceful memories are still our guide. Time is precious, as it is ever changing and waits for no one. May your perfect soul rest in peace. I love you. -LAKIETHA I gained a bonus father when I married your son Roderick Dodoo, in 2008. I remember our photographer that day commented how you proudly you stood in your beautiful local cloth in our official family photo and your smile was something worth capturing. You genuinely accepted me and softened me enough where I unhesitantly called you Daddy Dodoo. A playful name that I felt, truly matched your wittiness and gentleness. Thank you for allowing me to call you this sweet nickname these short but meaningful 14years. Having the opportunity to spend time with you during your several visits to the U.S, I felt accepted, encouraged, and appreciated. Those feelings are still felt ever more strongly now that you are not here. I felt encouraged to pursue a career change to become a pharmacist. On your very first visit after the wedding, you witnessed Roderick and I discussing the pros and 20

BURIAL / FUNERAL SERVICE OF MR. HENRY NII DODOO

cons of attending pharmacy school. And you quietly said. " Lory, you are mentally strong and can become a pharmacist and God will see you through. Your added confidence in me truly got through the darkest days of pharmacy school and the whole gamut of board exams. One advice my children were blessed to learn, and experience is inviting and keeping the Lord's name alive in our home. Every morning during the long months of the pandemic, you welcomed and greeted the children as well as all of us with this: ‘I greet you in the name of the King and Benson and Nia would say with no hesitation in reply, peace be to all men!’ Daddy Dodoo, you showed me that integrity should be woven in all our words, clothing, and in the work of our hands. I did not get to choose who my father-in-law would be, but I would still choose you again and again. Well done Daddy Dodoo, you fought a worthy fight. Bravo! -LORY DODOO

For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. Romans 14:7-8

eath is the last chapter in time but the first chapter in eternity. It is hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember.

There comes a day in everybody’s life when we have to respond to death’s call. The young dies and so does the old. You have taken the lead and we take consolation that you have gone to be with the Lord. Our path first crossed when my mum and I came to buy some provisions at your shop in Tamale and she introduced me to you, your reception was so remarkable and since then talking to you was never a problem. I will forever remember you and your kindness and you will always be in my heart. Thank you for walking me down the aisle majestically; it was a great honour and I hold that in high esteem. Thank you for the accommodation you gave me when we needed it most and thank _you_ again for teaching _me_ a whole lot of menus including how to make french toast and Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). No one can ever replace the kind, loving and sweet grandpa that you were. I will forever miss your beaming friendly smiles. Daddy Nii Dodoo yaa wɔ jogbaŋ. Till we meet again.

TRIBUTE BY A

Friend MARGRET BAFFOUR-AWUAH

met Henry when he came courting my friend (and Sister) Mrs. Loveluck Ama Dodoo (nee’Amuquandoh). Ama and I go a long way back from primary school in Cape Coast toSecondary School in Ashanti Mampong. I was concerned. ‘This is a Ga nyobi’ (meaning a man from the Ga tribe).

But right from day one, Henry put my fears to rest. He was a gentleman par excellence! I was teaching at Mampong Secondary School and Ama was teaching in Kumasi, and we visited a lot. I met him again and again. I found Henry a great person to talk to on a whole diversity of issues. He also liked seeing and showing other people places of interest. We saw Navrongo, Yendi, Paga and a whole lot of the Northern province through his eyes. In fact, on one trip we went up to the Burkina Faso border. He wasn’t just a traveler; he was also excellent in the kitchen! He treated Ama and I to our first home-cooked Kentucky Fried Chicken, long before any of us saw or heard of KFC. We marveled as we ate the crispy fried chicken pieces with softmelting-insides! Even Ama who is a catering teacher was impressed by the taste? I was bowled over. I’ve been to

BURIAL / FUNERAL SERVICE OF MR. HENRY NII DODOO

(NEE’ MENSAH)

many different chicken-eating houses in different countries since but I am yet to taste one like Henry cooked it. Some years later when Henry and Ama were man and wife, I persuaded my husband, to take me for a visit (under the then University of Cape Coast getting to know your country scheme) my Dodoo family in Tamale where Henry was heading the GMCT Tamale Branch. We had a blissful time together. We visited their farm up north and thoroughly built up lovely memories. I last talked to Henry a day or two before he left the US to return home to Ghana in Sept 2020. He sounded as young as ever. Age didn’t seem to have toll on him and that was the last we touched base. Ama reported that he was doing well. We hoped God willing we would all meet sometime in the near future, wherever God allowed us to but man proposes God disposes, as the adage goes. This is why it’s I was filled with sorrow and a deep sense of loss when Ama shared the news of Henry’s home-call with me. I thank God for the beautiful person that Henry was… a good hubby, a great father. May he rest in peace. My deep heartfelt condolences to the entire family.

TRIBUTE FROM

Sister Janet have always preferred to give flowers when they can be smelt I wrote the following about my brother on the 30th of July 2015, reminiscing about the good old days. At that time, I did not call it a tribute.

“Henry my brother is a very disciplined man and very tidy. Among my brothers he is my best friend. He helps to build, and he does not destroy. I call him Nehemiah; he is a Peacemaker. He has the joy of the Lord and that is his strength. He is a very humble man and even though easily hurt, he soon forgets and forgives. E hi bee mli k yaa naanɔ. He is a treasure in the Dodoo family, and I appreciate him a lot. You are the wallbuilder and together we will build. May God help us. With God we will run through a troop and leap over walls and possess our possessions. Who can find such a jewel.” This is what I wrote about my brother in 2015, on 30th July. I still have not changed my mind. I am glad I read it to him when he was with us. He was quick to apologize and say ‘I withdraw my statement’ when necessary. In the 70's anytime he would come from Tamale to Kumasi he stayed with me. He also stayed with me when I lived in North Kaneshie. When I moved to my own house in Lashibi he came to live with me for some years. Henry was a hard-working handy man

about the house. He could repair almost anything. As I said, he was a very tidy man. If you went to his room, you would think he never slept on his bed. Sometimes I was forced to tidy my own room because he was around. After he moved to his own house in Madina, we spent most Mondays together eating Neat Fufu and light soup. Henry, I miss you so much now, especially on Mondays. I have no one to share my food with. Now it is a pity party on Mondays. Henry, I believe you are in a better place. The last Sunday that I spent three hours with you in your home I sang for you, your favourite song but you did not respond. Your daughter Naa Darkua also sang it for you. I miss you. When you were happy, I loved the way you danced. I still have your last Christmas dance on my phone. If I had a good voice I would sing for you now, before they take you away. Normally you sing first then I respond. Henry would sing, “Mi yԑ naanyo ko, e gbԑi po, mi lee. ʃi kԑ mi kpla mi sԑ mli kԑkԑ, e haã mi nɔ fԑԑ nɔni mi tao.” Then I would respond: “Mi yԑ naanyo ko, ni a tsԑɔ lԑ Yesu, m’a mɔ e mli waa, ni m’a fua lԑ atuuuu...” Fare thee well my brother, fare thee well. -YOUR SISTER JANET

TRIBUTE BY THE

THE DEAN AND MEMBERS OF BISHOP ANGLIONBY MEMORIAL ANGLICAN CATHEDRAL, TAMALE To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heave nA time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up th at which is planted; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance Ecclesiastes 3:2 and 4. e at the Bishop Aglionby Memorial Anglican Cathedral pay our glowing tribute to the memory of one of the selfless, dedicated and committed members of the Church in time past.

The late Henry Nii Dodoo Joined the Anglican Church as far back as 1972 with his loving wife Mrs. Love Dodoo. They had their first child Kate Naa Densua dicated and baptized in 1974 followed by the twin boys Robert and Roderick in 1976 and then Henry Nil Oto in 1983. The family formed part of the Ga group that worshipped every Sunday with late Ga Chief Mr. Angenu of blessed mem ory. When the late Ga Chief passed on a search for a successor was made and the mantle fell on the Deceased who we are today saying good bye to the good work that he did for the Anglican fraternity and the Ga community in Tamale. He was a member of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) for several years 24

BURIAL / FUNERAL SERVICE OF MR. HENRY NII DODOO

and one time President of the Men's fellowship. This position he held for two consecutive term until he was enskinned as the Ga Chief for the Ga Community in Tamale. Not long before he moved to settle in Accra and Subsequently to Kumasi, he started a programme to help the teens in the Cathedral to unearth their God given talents in order to aide the growth of the Church. This group later metamorphosed in to the "Kingdom Ambassadors" group that was very active in every sphere of the life of the Church. He offered wise counsel to the clergy and for every member when the need arosed. We are persuaded, that neither death, nor Life, nor angels, nor Principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor heights, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38.39. Until we meet eternity. We say fare thee well.

Ga-Adangbe Society in Tamale TO HENRY NII DODOO Fear no more the heat o’ the sun, Nor the furious winter’s rages; Thou thy worldly task hast done, Home art gone, and ta’en thy wages: Golden lads and girls all must, As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

The news of the immediate past Ga-Adangbe Chief of Tamale, Mr Henry Nii Dodoo, whom we mourn today was received with a thunderous shock. Henry Nii Dodoo worked as an Agricultural Mechanical Engineer at G.C.M.T in Kumasi for 3 years. He was then promoted to a managerial position and was transferred to Tamale, the Northern Region, in 1970. Nii Dodoo came into contact with the late Emmanuel B. Angenu who happened to work with Bartholomew Company long before he Nii Dodoo, was transferred from Kumasi. Nii Dodoo looked up to him as a senior brother

and conferred with him on many issues. They were both inclined in farming activities and attended the same Anglican Church in Tamale. Nii Dodoo became a very active member of the Ga-Adangbe Society and witnessed the installment of the late Emmanuel B. Angenu as the 2nd Ga-Adangbe Chief of Tamale. He attended meetings regularly and helped to bring all Ga-Adangbe people in Tamale together. It was no surprise that after the death of Nii Angenu, Henry Nii Dodoo was chosen and installed as the 3rd Ga-Adangbe Chief of Tamale on the 23rd of November, 2003. He organized charity works to help the needy and the widows. Nii Dodoo and his elders organized the Homowo festival annually to bring all the Ga-Adangbes together and also to portray the Ga culture far away in Tamale. Nii Dodoo encouraged the Ga-Adangbe youth in Tamale to live harmoniously with each other and with their neighbours so as not to bring the good name of the GaAdangbes sustained by his predecessors into disrepute. In 2014, Nii Dodoo had to move down to Accra to join his long missed family. He was succeeded by Nii Ajumanku Nunoo as the 3rd Ga-Adangbe chief of Tamale. BURIAL / FUNERAL SERVICE OF MR.
