In the heart of Kumasi, one voice has echoed through the homes and hearts of many for nearly three decades — that of the remarkable Madam Elleanor Effe Amanor popularly called Mama Effe, host of Obra on Nhyira FM. As she marks 28 incredible years on radio, it is only right to celebrate a woman whose words have mended broken hearts, restored peace, and inspired countless lives.
Obra, the iconic program she anchors, is not just a radio show — it’s a platform of hope and healing. With grace, wisdom, and unmatched empathy, Mama Effe mediates real-life disputes, bringing together families, friends, and even foes to find common ground. Her ability to listen without judgment and offer solutions with love has made Obra a must-listen for many Ghanaians both at home and abroad.
Over the years, Mama Effe has earned the respect and admiration of listeners for her consistency, professionalism, and deep understanding of human relations. Her 28-year journey is a testament to resilience, purpose, and a calling to serve through the power of radio.
In an industry that often sees voices fade with time, Mama Effe continues to grow stronger, touching new generations while staying true to her roots. Her legacy is not only in the stories she tells but in the lives she changes every day.
As we celebrate her 28 years on air, we say ayekoo to Mama Effe — a true gem in Ghana’s media landscape. May her voice continue to guide, inspire, and transform for many more years to come.
