"I have been selling hokey pokey and Yoghurt for 35 years. Most of the children call me Our Day. I have been to almost all the schools in Tema selling my ice cream.''
Agyiri has been providing for his nine children and wife from the money he makes from the business and indicated that he is not about to go on retirement anytime soon.
