To Ghanaian actor and TV personality Selly Galley, Oscar was a publicist, protégé and a son. This is how she eulogizes him, “I found some great unconditional love for him as a mother would for a son, and I was proud I had ‘discovered’ a boy with such broad and rich knowledge in everything and an intimidating intelligence and confidence at such a young age.”
Media personality and CEO at New Accra Communications, Natalia Andoh who was in attendance, said this of him, “Oscar was friendly, resourceful and always ready with an idea to promote something or someone…”
