According to Adugali, the passing of Tolon Naa has affected him so deeply that he is traumatized and currently cannot even come on radio to do his normal programs because of how sad he feels.
Now, Adugali is a radio presenter, so staying away from radio because of grief shows how deeply the death has affected him. That is humanity. That is having a heart and feeling the pain of others.
But then let's compare this to Maccasio's situation.
When the Overlord of Dagbon passed away, the entire Dagbon Kingdom was in deep mourning. People were crying and grieving over the loss of their King. Yet Maccasio allegedly attempted to move ahead with a show involving Mr. P, despite reports that he had been served a suspension letter from the Gukpei Naa Palace.
And this is where the comparison becomes serious.
One person is saying he cannot even do his normal job because the death of a chief has broken him emotionally. Another person allegedly wanted to continue with a major entertainment show while the entire kingdom was mourning its Overlord.
Nobody is saying Adugali and Maccasio must react the same way, because people grieve differently. But as human beings, our actions during painful moments say a lot about the level of empathy and humanity we have.
For me, when an entire kingdom is mourning its King, money, shows, and entertainment should not be the first priority. Some moments are bigger than business. Some moments require you to pause and show respect for humanity.
A good heart is not only shown by what you say when people are watching. It is shown by the decisions you make when other people's hearts are broken.
