Ghanaian entertainment pundit Nana Adu has called for the establishment of a national museum to honor the legendary Highlife musician Daddy Lumba.
Speaking in an interview on ‘The Ultimate Experience’ show on Joy Prime, Nana Adu emphasized the importance of creating a space where future generations can learn about the life and contributions of iconic figures in the entertainment industry.
“We need to have a national museum where something about Daddy Lumba will be shown,” he said. “So that when the young guys move there, they will know something about Daddy Lumba like a national hall of fame or a highlife hall of fame for all highlife musicians,” he said.
Nana Adu expressed concern about the lack of proper recognition and archiving of achievements in Ghana, particularly in the entertainment, politics, and sports sectors.
He compared this to places like Spain, where museums honor the works of individuals like Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo.
“When you go to the Real Madrid museum, you will see some works of Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo, but not here in Ghana,” he added, explaining the gap in honoring national heroes locally.
Nana Adu believes that establishing such institutions will not only celebrate legends like Daddy Lumba but also preserve their legacies for generations to come.
