A multi-skilled businessman identified as Jonas who builds and repairs home theatre systems and converts computer monitors into television sets has disclosed that he is naturally gifted.
Jonas, 28, received his junior high school education at Nkawkaw in the Eastern Region but couldn't further his studies because of his deprived background.
Despite having no formal education in engineering, Jonas skillfully builds and repairs home theatres, amplifiers, monitors, and other electronic gadgets using his God-given skill.
After completing junior high school, Jonas' father brought him to Accra to acquire a skill because he could not afford to pay his fees to further his education.
