Award-winning Gospel Musician, Diana Hamilton, shares the poignant story from her secondary school days at Ghana National College that inspired her latest song, ‘The Doing of the Lord.’
The track, featuring Nigerian Gospel Musician Mercy Chinwo, was released on Monday, January 15.
The ‘Adom’ hitmaker in an interview recounted a harrowing incident where her school mother in secondary school led her, as a freshman, into the hands of seniors who nearly assaulted her.
This traumatic experience left her stranded on the streets of Kotokraba in Cape Coast after being carried away by her peers.
“We went for interco and I was in first year and then my school mother then said follow these guys, they are going to get me some biscuit and give it to you and you will bring it to me.
“As a fresher, I followed them by the time I realised one was in front of me and another behind me and I was in the middle then one opened the door and there was another girl so I thought it was two ladies and two boys going somewhere.
“The next thing I saw was the one in front opened the door to a car sat in and the one behind me urged me to sit and I sat and the other guy also sat in, the next thing I heard was the other girl said ‘ɛneɛ mo mbaabai ooo’ [then goodbye], she left.”
She continued, “By the time I realised I was in Cape Coast-Kotokraba in a funny area. It took God to give an SS1 girl the courage to tell upper sixth formers I will not enter this house,” she said.
