Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams recounted a childhood memory where he was almost swept away by a powerful flood.
During a sermon, Archbishop Duncan-Williams mentioned that a near-disaster occurred in Keta, as seen in a video shared on Facebook by a page FA Boateng.
He stated that his mother had sent him to Keta to stay with his aunt when the floods started to pose a threat to the area.
While everyone made their way to safety, utilizing the boats that had been provided, his auntie only became aware much later that he (Duncan-Williams) was not among them.
“I remember my auntie told me a story. When I was a little kid, my mother took me to a place at Keta. There was a flood and so, they brought these small boats to pick everybody. And everybody was in the boat, then my auntie remembered that I wasn’t there; I wasn’t among everybody, and in Ewe, my name is Nukuvi… means a wonder child.
“So, then my auntie said in Ewe, where is Nukuvi? They looked around and I wasn’t there. I was in the house sleeping and they had left me; they had forgotten about me… so, they had to rush and come and take me,” he explained.
After being found and relocated from the area, the floods arrived and caused extensive damage to the entire vicinity, he stated.
“As soon as they took me and they left the place, the flood came in and destroyed the whole place…” he narrated.
