Funny face speaks about his moments in the valley of the shadow of death- My advice to all of you, don’t make anybody the Centre of your life

My advice to all of you: don’t make anybody the Centre of your life

Lasting Impact Online came across a story that we believe will encourage anybody who cares to read.

Even though many know him as Funny Face, his actual name is Benson Nana Yao Oduro Boateng. He is known for his comedy and his events which are mostly kids centered. He is arguably one of Ghana’s finest in the comedy industry.

A few years back, people started seeing him dance in public with a music player in his hands. At another time, others saw him directing traffic. He was also verbally attacking people offline or online. What could be the cause of this misbehavior from Funny Face?

In his own words, he attempted suicide a few times. He was kept in police cells and eventually ended up in the psychiatric hospital.

Narrating the story to Mr. Kwaku Simtim Misa(KSM), he said the major reason for his awkward life was bitterness, sorrow, and depression. He explained that he came to a point in his life where he felt life was not worth living. This was because he had family problems that led to the taking away of his twin girls from him.

As far as he was concerned, if he spent about fifteen years of his life making many kids happy in Ghana but couldn’t do that to his kids, then he had failed.

He recounted how he drove his car at top speed between Accra to Winneba several times hoping that an accident could take his life but it never materialized. Also, he one time went to the beach so he could drown in the sea only to be insulted by an old lady.

According to him, one of the reasons why he knew that he was not ready for suicide was that he was waiting for his change after buying the poison that was meant to kill him.

As to how he came out of these dark days, he gave credit to God and a good friend who stuck with him all through. Even though they ‘fought’ occasionally because he was not listening to any advice, his friend decided to stay all through his pain.

The greatest advice he gave to the audience was this: “don’t make any man be at the centre of your life”. According to him, let God be at the centre of your life.

He warned that if you make people the centre of your life, you will be in serious trouble when those people leave of your life.

The comedian who has bounced back is now making a message out of his mess as he entertains his fans with his story with humor and lots of laughter.

Are you going through a downside of your life? Are you going through a hard time and there seems to be no hope? Suicide is not an option. Please know that it’s not just about you.

My advice to all of you: don’t make anybody the Centre of your life

The pain you will put your loved ones through should also be considered. The Bible says A LIVING DOG IS BETTER THAN A DEAD LION….. ANYONE AMONG THE LIVING HAS HOPE (Eccle 9:4) Be encouraged, things will not remain like this forever.

We wish Funny Face well and pray that God will perfect all that concerns him. May his healing and restoration be permanent in Jesus’ name

Amen.
