The phrase "Father Benard" has become a viral sound all over the world.

The sound originated from a video of a lady in grief at the Burial of the late Ghanaian priest, Father Benard Kofi Ackon.

In a video that went viral on social media, the lady who was mourning the death of the priest dived onto the coffin of the late reverend shouting "Eii father Benard, Eii father Benard."

The video quickly gained traction on social media and the sound became a viral sensation. 

Content creators have quickly picked up the sound "Ei Father Benard" to create humorous videos.

It is the latest background sound for videos of people tripping or falling to the ground.


According to reports from catholic trends, Father Benard was a well respected priest of St John the Baptist church in Saltpond Ghana. He was known for being selfless and generous.

According to testimonies by friends and family, he was loved by all, no wonder the woman captured in the video paid her last respect in grand style.

The motive behind the woman's jump on his coffin is unclear but the video has brought laughter and amusement to social media users.
