A decision he has never regretted.

According to him, there is no gain with out risk.

Mr. Okyere On The Move

He indicated that, though education is very important, it's not only education that can make one successful in life, and that success is not about age. Nobody has power over you, unless you give it to them.

To be able to succeed in anything you need to have and know your WHY- your reason, in the first place.

" My mother is my WHY and motivation. I want to make enough good money so that my family members wouldn't hold any meeting without me.

The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. -Bible, Psalm 118:22
