Black Stars’ Chief drummer Langabel has stated that he is very happy Christian Atsu took a right decision to marry a white woman,
In explaining his view in an interview with TV3, Langabel said the player was better off marrying a non-Ghanaian because of custody of properties that come up when husbands die.
“What made me happy is that Atsu never married a Black woman,” Langabel said after recounting fond memories with the former footballer.
“Because when Atsu marries a Black woman, this funeral will be dogged by controversies between both sides of the families, usually fighting for property.
“As it stands now, there is no basis for such quarrels because Atsu’s sister will be in charge of his estate having taken care of him,” he stressed.
Langabel was part of wellwishers who thronged State House forecourt for the final funeral of the former Black Stars player. Atsu has since been interred in his hometown.
The March 17, 2023 final funeral rites of Christian Atsu attracted people from all walks of life as the forecourt of the State House buzzed with activity.
