Please Go And Tell Everyone Super OD Is Alive-OD

an Ghanaian actor Asonaba Kweku Darko,
more commonly known by his showbiz name Super
OD, has asked Ghanaians to stop wishing him dead
before his time.
“I need to make this clear. I am not dead. Please go
and tell everyone super OD is still alive,” he stated.
The Osofo Dadzi television series star who was
speaking to a room filled with movie enthusiasts,
actors, producers and directors at Tuesday's
Ghana Movie Awards Ceremony said it is a
disheartening experience for him anytime he heard
rumours and assumptions of his death in the news
and on the lips of people.
“The last time someone saw me and said with
shock written all over him – ‘Oh OD, we thought
you were dead’. How could you be walking and
thinking someone is dead?” he asked in the Fante
dialect.
“As for Ghanaians, that is how you are. Just know
that I am not dead. I live in Swedru. I am only
battling old-age,” he said sarcastically.
The actor also revealed some pastors have also
tried to take advantage of his old-age to trick him
into giving them money as he depends on them for
spiritual favours.
“A pastor tried to make me believe I have a snake
crawling up my legs. In my left leg, he said. And he
offered to help deliver me from that devil if I gave
him GH¢200.00. Then I realised he was a thief and
nothing is wrong with me. When you grow old,
people come up with all kinds of things about you. If
you are not devil possessed today, you are dead
tomorrow. They fail to realise it is just old age,” he
noted.
Super OD, who is now over 70 years old, has been
one of the most hilarious characters in Ghanaian
movies in his hey days.
He also featured in a weekly sitcom dubbed the
Osofo Dadzi television series which used to run on
Ghana Television on Sunday evenings.
