Rita, is the wife of late Bob Marley. She has lived in Ghana for over 20 years. She moved to Ghana after Bob’s death alongside Bob’s family in the 1990s.
Became a Ghanaian citizen in 2013. Changed her name to Nana Afua Adobea, a Ghanaian name. Owns a house in Aburi, Ghana. Truth is, she really didn’t want to relocate to Ghana. Her first choice was Badagry.
In the process of trying to acquire the land, all kinds of Levies kept propping up from everybody concerned. They thought they had captured a Mugu from Jamaica. Frustrated, she opted for her 2nd choice – Ghana.
Badagry people were too myopic to understand the benefit of having such an Icon living amongst them. The Tourism Potentials and the ripple effect of more Diasporans following in her footsteps, which eventually happened! You don’t have to be blind to be BLIND!
