Italy-based Ghanaian artiste Ogidi Brown
Nearly a decade after surviving a tragic accident, Italy-based Ghanaian artiste and OGB Music boss, Ogidi Brown, has shared an emotional reflection on the experience.
In an interview with ZionFelix in Italy, Ogidi Brown recounted the accident that left him in a wheelchair, noting that he was a passenger at the time it occurred.
In a touching statement, he expressed gratitude that the accident didn’t happen in Ghana, even if it was his destiny.
“I thank God it didn’t happen in Ghana,” he said, citing the lack of support and inadequate compensation for accident victims in the country.
He noted that in Ghana, many victims are left to struggle with little or no help. “Some would even be glad to receive as little as GHS 10,000,” he said. “Sadly, others don’t get any compensation at all.”
Brown further contrasted his experience with the support he has received from the Italian government. He revealed that the authorities were deeply concerned about his welfare following the accident, ensuring he had proper accommodation and providing him with a high-quality wheelchair and a motorized device to aid his mobility.
“They gave me an expensive wheelchair, and every five years, I can apply for a new one,” he said.
Despite the support, Ogidi Brown clarified that insurance payouts abroad are not as enormous as many people believe.
“The monthly payments I receive are not as massive as people think,” he noted, pushing back against assumptions about life in Europe after such incidents.
