- Wongel Zelalem reports on Dr. Thomas Owusu Mensah, a Ghanaian-American chemical engineer who made significant contributions to the development of fiber optic technology passing away.
I know him very well when he was in High school in Cape Coast, Ghana. The high schools in Ghana during Nkurumah's time were great. Almost, all of them were boarding schools and people get to know other Ghanaians from other regions. That is the reason Ghana is peaceful because we all become one family. The education system were very competitive. There were good scientists and after the February 24th coup many of them left the country to America and other western countries. Too young to go. Rest in peace and we will meet again in the future.
Thomas Mensah was a Dr and simply an Afrikan. Not a American Ghanaian. If he had been a criminal the media would have referred to him as a Ghanaian. The ancestors had welcomed you home Sir. Thank younger your teachings.
Don't even have to be a criminal, be a simple person, and you will be placed as such.
He was an amazing and brilliant man. I was happy to have met him in 2019 during year of return
😢Why isn’t this being reported around the world on mainstream media.
Ask & ask again & again. Just a single was said about his death,,,,,,,was not well for about 3 days and passed away,,,,. JUST LIKE THAT.
@@user-rr1rw3ig1r,he died from natural death ?
I hoped that he trained and mentor young men / women while back home in Ghana. Children are the future and helping them grow and focus is the key!!! RIP THOMAS MENSAH!!!
Condolences to your family and friends, rest in POW Ra with the ANKHSESTORS
In the middle of 2000, I worked with him, so all is not lost.
May the man of great motivation and inspiration soul rest in perfect peace.
🙏🏿
He came back to Ghana with the intention of working with the government on this field but guess what? He was simply ignored
Yes he did Bawumia would capably take over and the rest would be history
We need more great men like this. RIP, brother.
Yes we need everything the colonial powers don't want you to have your absolutely correct
We sure do! He will be truly missed.
RIP Doctor Thomas 🙏🏿
Rest in Eternal Power Dr.Thomas Thank You For Sharing your Brilliance 💜🙏🏽
We have so many great inventors among our people that have been kept hidden from us, but no more. It’s up to us to celebrate, acknowledge and remember always these black innovators. Family, this is one of the reasons why they do not what us to know our history. It’s been our creativity and the ideas born from us that has given so much to the world. If you don’t mind me saying, you should have his name within the title of this message to us. We need to start making a list of all the inventors who contributed so much to society. Rest in Peace but never forgotten. B1✊🏿
Thank you for your contribution to civilization also I have studied fiber optics back in the 80s.
Sad he passed but very respected. Thank for the inspiration and contributions 👍🏿
Thank you, Baba Thomas!
A Great Man with a remarkable legacy.
Such a tragic and horrific loss. I pray the Lord Almighty comforts, blesses and compensates his family, because of this sudden departure.
We honour you Sir!
Rip young king..
74 is too young. Hmm....
74 is a full life.
If you get 22 in Ghana you have to thank your God, Poverty galore
@@aboaboyahciciniko7132 that's another issue, like you said poverty. Was poverty his issue?
@@perrygibson8419 my comment is not for him is for Ghana
@@aboaboyahciciniko7132 😅🤣😂
Dr Menser should be carefully studied by many young African scholars all his ideas including his scientific lifestyle. He is ours we should be claiming him and by all means produce many of his class in the future for Africa's development
C A Diop long gone which many Afrikans engaged in his hard work?
We still get dumbo Danquah/Busia oriented figures in power messing Nkrumah Ghana today
An Outstanding citizen! R.I.P Dr. Mensah! Peace be unto his family.

Great man
It is such a shame. The continent never got to benefit from this man's talents. his best years were spent in the US. Unfortunately this is the story for so many of the continent's most gifted individuals.
Africans are benefiting from his inventions. We are all able to instantly send pictures, videos to any part of the world because of him. So in essence we are all benefiting.
Exactly.
@@user-jt6sc3km5i Well they are calling him American, and he is from Ghana. Africans are not benefiting if the accolades of this great man's work got o the US. This is how the get to say "white people created everything", because they siphon the credits to themselves.
@@Binahx86 we shall continue to stay in USA 🇺🇸 and use our gift and intelligence to help them always since African Leaders do not think outside the box for Africans but always enriching themselves with the resources they suppose to properly utilize for the benefit of entire continent. Long live America 🇺🇸💪
wow a great African man is gone my condolences to his immediate family & our continent as whole
RIP sir..❤❤❤❤❤
Get his Book Everyone, (The Right Stuff Comes In Black Too)
RIP brother ❤
RIP, GENIUS DR. Mensah🙏
He will be in our hearts forever!
Knowledge is power.
Gone ina great Mind...it's a sad day INDEED 😭
My condolences to his family and friends and community.
It’s astonishing how signals can travel through the cladding of the fiber
Poleni sana.
RIP❤
May his intelligent and brilliant soul rest in perfect peace and my condolences to all the family members and Ghana as a whole 🙏 ❤️ 💙
Oh, this is sad news, Dr. T. Mensah has passed on too soon. He will be remembered for his great contributions. May His Beautiful Rest in Perfect Peace. 😭😥
Hummmmm! We must take care of our visionaries.
They took him out !!!
My heartfelt condolences to his family & country over his demise. May his death inspire many young Africans or blacks to invent more things, which will help develop African & the world
WE CELEBRATE OUR OWN AFTER THE FACT, OH MOTHER AFRICA 😢
thank you for showcasing this inventor. im a little distracted by your eyebrows...... also don't forget about the living inventors to showcase like Earl S Bell that is currently contributing technology and has u.s. and south African patents.
I agree
🙏🏿🕯 May his soul rest in perfect Peace!✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
He gave his best to America, then in his old age came to Ghana to settle and help to build the country, but it’s too late 🥲. We always give our best to the west and it always comes back to bite us when these western countries don’t like or appreciate us and kick us out when we are old and wrinkly!. May he rest in peace😢
May his soul rest in power 💔✊
Rest In Perfekt Peace! Dear Santaclausian, Dr. Thomas Mensah.
My condolence to all Friends and family.
Oh may his soul rest in peace, even his dream of the Railways in Ghana has not been finished and he is Gone , Sad
Hmmm...not sure if he was eliminated to suit their negative agendas. 74 is far below comparing his vision and mental strength
To Doctor Thomas Owusu immediate family and friends please accept I sincerest condolences. I, hope and pray Rest In Eternal Peace In Heaven (Zion) next to The Almighty The Most High to Dr. Thomas Owusu Mensah
R I p brothet
❤❤
He will be missed.
I miss my friend
Hopefully there was no foul play in his death since he just came back from the States to help Ghana
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE
Rest in Peace. African must unite and Take Action, the Puppet of the West is Not their Duty to serve and devolope Africa.
Yes,we can We will make Africa great again if all Africans genius come back to Africa and our Dictators go abroad
Rest in perfect peace scientist.
Can African head of state allowed or system for Africans? Only not for the western world? The benefit is for the Africans if we train our children the😊 western way then we are training our children for the western world work ethic. let’s train our children practical more of them born practically so academically it’s not for us only. Africa needs to do more for its peoples. Let not let our continent be a continent of service providers. Let’s do better
👍👍👍
❤️💛💚
A student can leave school in Ghana after studying computer but never touch a computer, how is this possible. This is total madness. We have million of genius hear in Ghana and the rest of Africa but they never get the chance to shine because we are stuck in theory. Wake up African. One love Africa
That's why H. E. Nana Addo Piloted a program for 1 laptop per child!!
@@zionlee3644 what happened to that project/agenda ?
@@zionlee3644 in theory maybe but not in practice, the reality on the ground is different. One love Africa
@@richardowusu6577 you mean the laptops?
How come we never heard of him before?
He turned his eyes back home in recent times, and all we heard was that he had joined our ancestors. Don't we think there is something fishy ? Africans should wake up.
I am really pained. I don't even understand. He died too early 😢
May his soul rest in peace.🙏🏾
Des choses positifs sur l'Afrique et des Africains les Media Occidentaux ne montrent jamais Travaillons ensemble pour construire une Afrique très Puissante
Mhsrip ❤
Africans take good care of your selves too young to die medications are not good for us may he rest in peace
Why did we not know about Dr Thomas Mensah in Social Studies , we learned about Steve Jobs . In public schools we can't see ourselves on a grand scale in the books or the classroom . Is the next Planet ready yet? This one is for the birds 😮😮😮
So when did he pass? That's why we tell the Nigerians Ghanaians are dope and we are not loud like them. We keep it cool. Go Ghana!
About a month Ago
RIP brother
😎😎😎😎😎
Yaco to all the african family!
RIP
Please call him Dr.Ottoo- Mensah whicih is Ghana-African name. ADDISCO Sec. school Cape Coast, Ghana
Even me I wonder why all Africans higer education not only Gana based in theory rather than practical really worry me also.
They killed him cos of his inspiration n potential to help Africa
Rip
This man all his life he worked in America not in Ghana
We need to take pages out of the Chinese book, they return to China, with their, knowledge and develope their, homeland.
❤B1
We cannot continue blaming the British for poor education system after 100 years
We should be sensible enough to know the education now is non functional and change
Arguments why must I teach you how manufacturing commond sence we are not thinking practically we have to put ower brains to work simple
Me nua Damrifa, Damirifa, Damirifa due!
Koopon
"THOMAS MENSA"
The very thing I feared would happen to him has happened unexpectedly. It will not surprise me if the race, the enemies of black people poisoned him
This man spent almost all his life outside Ghana. He only came to Ghana when he was about to die. He knew all this but was still in the US until he became weak. Africa is really a weak continent that has lost its great men to the advanced countries.
Who created fiber optic internet? 👂
He contributed.
Dr Mensah and 2 others HOLD the PATENT for Fibre Optics!!
did he leave the technology in africa
Absolutely, he built the Ghana Silicon Valley
ddnt ths dude jst come up and let us know that he was the dude ?
