An audio recording of the late Ghanaian gospel musician Jacob Ajola has resurfaced, revealing him offering heartfelt advice to his younger brother, Eben, on overcoming life’s challenges.

Shared on Neat FM in Accra, the message captures Ajola urging Eben to prioritize prayer, financial stability, and self-development. “Do not play with prayer. Take your finances seriously,” he advised, encouraging his brother to focus on self-improvement and delay marriage until he was established.

Ajola emphasized financial independence as key to strong relationships, explaining, “The reason they will leave you is because you don’t have money. So, build yourself.” In a poignant moment, he told Eben to contact a friend for his belongings, hinting at his own mortality. “I’m praying with you. You will not see me again,” he said, promising support in spirit.

Ajola’s final words were filled with love and a plea for forgiveness, advising Eben to consider changing their surname due to its difficult associations. “I love you, Eben. I’m sorry that I have to do this. Forgive me,” he expressed.
