Life; they say, is about survival, and how you make. And so when one door closes in our lives, another definitely opens. The problem sometimes is; when we missed an opportunity, we fail to seek another.
It was also said by the people of the old; that, “whiles some people were born with spoons in their hands (born into riches), some have to “battle for survival”, and this is the story of a 29 Year Old Boy.
In our Ghanaians society, it takes only few men to get into female dominated careers, mostly because fo shyness, but that is not the case of Mr. Frank Kwasi Nyuah.
Frank Kwasi Nyuah , is a young and energetic man, who hails from the Bono Region of Ghana. After his Senior High education, Frank traveled to the Capital city of Ghana, Accra, on the invitation of an old schoolmate.
The 29-year-old, put aside all shyness, and took that bold step, into a female-dominated business, after all attempts of attaining tertiary education had failed, due to financial difficulties in the family.
According to Frank, his quest to survive in Accra, made him engaged in several menial jobs, which couldn’t hold. He then started a selling business in Ice and Yoghurt, on the streets of Abelenkpe in Accra; but that also failed because he wasn’t making enough profits.
Speaking on GTV, Frank said, “I recognized; that there was not much for me to do, considering the situation in which I found myself, so I decided to venture into the cone ice business, even though it is dominated by women”.
Frank who have been doing this business for about three years, revealed that, on a good days, he makes profits of about hundred Ghana cedis (GHC100.00), “commuting from Alajo to the 37 Military Hospital, through to Accra Mall and East Legon”, and other areas.
According him, he has never regretted venturing into that business, and that, he is determined to work harder, to make more money to care for his family and possibly “realize his dream of becoming an Electrical Engineer, or perhaps travel outside the country for greener pastures”.
Frank’s advise to the youth in Ghana was that, “I sometimes see people begging. Once you are an able-bodied person, you need to work. There is no useless work or money, and whatever your hands find doing, you must do it well”.
