Ghana has been thrown into mourning following reports of the passing of popular marriage counsellor, life coach and motivational speaker, Kweku Adumatta, widely known as Uncle Kwaku or Counsellor Adumatta.
His reported death has come as sad news to many who knew him through his work in marriage counselling, relationship education and personal development.
Counsellor Adumatta built a public profile through his engagements on marriage, relationships, family values and the responsibilities that come with building and sustaining a home. Over the years, he became a familiar voice in discussions surrounding marriage and the challenges confronting couples.
He was particularly known for sharing his perspectives on marital stability, communication, commitment and the importance of understanding the responsibilities that come with marriage.
In December 2022, he advised young people against taking loans to finance expensive weddings, arguing that marriage should not be treated as a competition or an opportunity to impress society. He maintained that couples should prioritise building a stable home rather than starting their marriages under financial pressure.
He also attracted public attention in September 2025 following comments he made about virginity, marriage and the spiritual foundations of marital relationships during an appearance on The Real Talk Podcast hosted by Elizabeth Essuman.
Beyond his public commentary, Adumatta was recognised as a marriage counsellor and life coach whose work centred on offering guidance on relationships, personal development and family life.
His passing marks a sad moment for those who followed his work and benefited from his counsel.
As tributes emerge, his contributions to conversations about marriage, relationships and family values remain part of the public discussions he helped shape.
