Kofi Donkor, the Husband of Ghanaian gospel musician, Celestine Donkor has shared a movie story of how the critics said he would not be successful with his wife after Celestine Donkor's victory at the 2020 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.

He explained that Ghanaian "entertainment pundits" had told him that he would waste the potential of his wife if he were to manage her. He revealed that it was on the husband of Philipa Baafi, Mr. Kwame Karikari who encouraged him.

Celestine Donkor won the Gospel Song of the Year at the 2020 VGMA with her ‘Agbebolo’ song. Kofi Donkor was quick to recall the words of Mr. Karikari when he would encourage him with: “Dieta, you can do”

After the victory, Kofi Donkor expressed his gratitude to all those who contributed to their success story. He conceded that the journey has not been easy but God has never let them down.

"I want to express my gratitude to all who sent messages and all who are genuinely happy for us. I have been reflecting on the happenings at the VGMAs and I am honestly humbled. In 2008, this man here, by name Kwame Karikari( husband of Philipa Baafi) encouraged me to take up this challenge. He said to me “Dieta, you can do it”. Some industry gurus then wrote me off, some said I will waste my wife’s potential. Today I look back and all I see is the hand of God doing His own thing."

“I am humbled by the fact that today I have many partners in this industry not just in Ghana but across the African continent and beyond. I am humbled by the fact that I don’t know it all yet other category A artistes from other Africa nations call to seek my counsel. It has never been easy but God NEVER let us down! Kwame Karikari, you pushed me. Today this is my story. God richly bless you,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
