Former Black Stars Management Committee Chairman, George Afriyie, has called on people to be humble, generous and God-fearing.
According to him, these words kept ringing in his ears after he filed past the remains of winger, Christian Atsu, who died in the aftermath of the earthquake in Turkey last month.
“There is only one lesson, we must be humble in life, we must be generous, we must be God-fearing. In this world, we are here just in transit and for me, Christian is sitting on the right hand of God,” he said.
He told Joy News that the late player lived a decent life, adding that he was humble, affable and loved by all and his Christian life was so perfect.
