Nana Tima has revealed in the famous Daddy Lumba Die Hard fans page on Facebook why the legendary musician immortalized ‘Theresa Abrebrese in his iconic ‘Theresa’ song.
The writeup seems to set the record straight and offer the best version of the variants of how Lumba and Theresa crossed path. The full article has been shared below;
“The story has been told of Charles Kwadwo Fosu, aka DADDY LUMBA’s relationship with the late Theresa Nana Konadu Abebrese during their days in Juaben Secondary School, as it was then called. Several versions of the story have been narrated to me by different people but one thing that runs through each narration is the kindness and love Theresa showed Charles.
Although they did not get married and go on to live happily ever after, what DADDY LUMBA did for Theresa Abebrese in his Theresa song is the ultimate immortalization, in my opinion.
‘Theresa’ is on Daddy Lumba’s first solo album, ‘Obi ate me so buo’ released in 1990 .Charles was and I suppose he still is grateful for all Theresa did for him and he made sure, that long after both he and Theresa are no longer here, generations will know.
There might have been several other women who went by the name Theresa Abebrese so Lumba made sure to add her residential address then so there’s no room for ambiguity. In a part of the song, Charles croons, when he is thirsty, Nana Konadu gives him wine. If all women were like Theresa, Ghanaian men won’t suffer.
Four other persons get mentions in the song for various kinds of assistance they offered to him at various times;Mary Agyekum of Asante Mampong Daaho, Akwasi Awuah of Nsuta Kyebi, Charles Kwabena Bonney and his Wife Abena Agyeiwaa of Nsuta Oyoko. There are many ungrateful people who feel so entitled to whatever they request of people.
I cannot emphasize this enough, please, no one owes you anything! People reach out from the goodness of their hearts and you’ll find others calculating your worth based on the good you do. If you ask Elon Musk for a favour and he doesn’t oblige you, you can’t beat him. It’s not ‘by force’. In Luke 17: 17-18 (NLT), Jesus said, “Didn’t I heal ten men?
Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”Show gratitude! Let people know you appreciate them. I believe every time Theresa heard the song made for her, she felt the love. I have several ‘Theresa Abebreses’ in my life who have come through for me at various times and I am eternally grateful.
I make it a point to let these people know at every opportunity how grateful I am. I AM SO TEMPTED TO MENTION NAMES, I am grateful! Make it a point to say ‘thank you’, show gratitude and let people know you see all they do for you. It will not kill you.”
