The unbreakable spirit of Ghanaians shines once more as citizens at home and abroad rally behind celebrated broadcaster Kofi Adoma Nwanwani in his battle to save his eyesight. The GoFundMe campaign set up to support his medical expenses has now exceeded GH₵160,000, showing an outpouring of love and support from well-wishers.
A Desperate Fight to Save His Sight
Kofi Adoma, a well-known journalist and CEO of Kofi TV, has been grappling with a severe eye condition, a consequence of a past shooting incident that left lasting damage. In a bid to prevent permanent blindness, his close friend and fellow media personality, Kofi Magraheb, took it upon himself to initiate a GoFundMe campaign to raise the needed funds for specialized medical care.
The online fundraiser, launched on March 14, 2025, quickly gained traction, attracting donations from across the globe. Within ten days, the campaign had amassed a staggering €9,600, equivalent to GH₵160,000, accounting for 19% of the ultimate goal of €50,000. This remarkable feat underscores the love and gratitude Ghanaians hold for the journalist, who has often used his platform to advocate for the underprivileged.
The Journey to Restoration
Kofi Adoma has now embarked on a critical medical journey, seeking specialized care at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, one of the world’s leading centers for ophthalmology. Before heading to the UK, he underwent initial medical procedures in Dubai, where his condition was closely assessed using advanced Cornea Topography technology.
His wife, Miracle Adoma, shared a touching video on Facebook, showing Kofi Adoma in a Dubai hospital undergoing an eye examination. The footage, which has since gone viral, drew an emotional response from fans and followers who continue to hope and pray for his full recovery.
Social Media Erupts with Support
The fundraising efforts and Kofi Adoma’s health battle have sparked massive engagement on social media. Many Ghanaians have taken to various platforms to express their solidarity and call for justice regarding the attack that led to his injury.
@rexfordosei4229 questioned:
“God bless you for the good work done. But my question is why the guy who pulled the trigger is still not being arrested by Ghana police?”
Another user, @Maamebeatis, fervently prayed:
“Awurade, Kofi TV has helped lots of people! Oh God, please come to his aid by sending your angels for his healing as the medical team does their best.”
A donor, @bebeyeye386, emphasized the importance of giving back:
“I’m definitely donating. Kofi TV has always opened his platform to help people in need; it’s time for us to return the favor. May God be with him and wishing him a speedy recovery.”
The Road Ahead
As Kofi Adoma prepares for his surgery, the support continues to pour in. With more than GH₵160,000 raised, there is hope that the target of €50,000 will soon be met, ensuring he receives the best possible medical care.
For now, all eyes remain on this unfolding story, as fans, friends, and well-wishers await positive updates on Kofi Adoma’s condition. The resilience of Ghanaians is once again proving that when one of their own is in need, they rise together, unwavering in their generosity and compassion.
