Adina & mother caught in the Liberian Civil War, lost her dad & how they fled to Ghana

The “Makoma” singer has told a sad story about how she, together with her mother and family, forever lost contact with her father and how they fled from the Liberian civil war that broke out in the 80s and 90s.

According to Adina, her mum told her that when she was born in Liberia and her late father — who was then in another region in Liberia — was called on phone and told about it (her birth), he predicted she (Adina) was going to be a great singer.

“I was born in Liberia during the civil war. Just around the time I was born, my father wasn’t in the same region. He was working elsewhere and so he had to be called and told of my mum having given birth to me. He was like oh, she’s going to be called Adina Thembi Ndamse and she will be a singer who will sing all over the world,” Adina said to Andy Dosty on Hitz FM.

On how they lost contact with her South African dad who is deceased and how they escaped the war to Ghana, the “Too Late” singer said her father only saw her when she was a baby.

And when the war intensified, they had to run for their lives without her father, who was not with them, to the ECOMOG ship that evacuated them to Ghana.

“He saw me when I was a baby. We had to run to Ghana and because he was not with us, we went towards the ECOMOG ship. We really run for our dear lives. My Dad was somewhere else.

“Apparently, he got away on an NGO plane which was flying to South AFrica (S.A) and they said to him, you have a chance to go, you either take it and go or stay here and die and so he joined and we lost touch and he never saw me after Liberia. He was looking all over for me but hey life is life,” Adina said during the Day Break Hitz interview with Andy Dosty.
