Who says anyone who does active sports, cannot get time to do other things, like doing music, preferably gospel to praise the Almighty God? Christopher Opoku can prove that person wrong. History was made yesterday as Christopher Opoku, the celebrated sports journalist and Metro TV presenter became the first sports journalist to veer to music as he launched his �Oye Mame�, a nine track gospel album. Sports and music are two different things, no gel whatsoever and Christopher concurs. �There isn�t much of a gel but just that both are part of me, in fact, music is something I started even before I got to sports, so its been a hidden love but its been the first love� he told ghanacelebritis.Com after the launch. Christopher Opoku has a giant-look-alike structure with a commanding, sometimes intimidating voice to match it. Truths hurt and people who say the truth are branded as �haters� in this part of the world, but Chris has managed to stay resolute and do his work [running football commentary and hosting sports programs] with much alacrity by the special grace of God. As a sports commentator and host of various sporting activities, Chris finds himself commenting on various issues concerning football and whenever his opinion is seeked, he makes sure he says whatever is on his mind rather objectively without fear or favour. His bold utterances have earned him as one of the unbiased presenters in Ghana who is not afraid to call a spade a spade! What many people didn�t know is that, aside being a sports person, Chris is also the choirmaster of his church, Believers House of Worship International, Nungua, also the venue for the launch of his maiden album �Oye Mame�.
