"After my national service, I decided to focus more on the painting than the nursing since its really helping and also, I feel more fulfilled in the painting," he said.

How it started

Prince says his talent was hidden until level 300 in the university when he needed to paint his room.

"I painted my room when I was in level 300 in the school of nursing at the University of Health and Allied Sciences, and I realized I have talent in painting. I then started painting for few students and before I knew, people started calling me to paint for them outside campus whenever they see my work," he recalled.

How it is going

Just a few years after discovering his prowess, Proff Ababio tells YEN.com.gh that he has traveled to every region in Ghana just to meet the orders he has been getting.

Ababio also stated that the patronage of his talent has been so encouraging that he turned down an opportunity to study for a master's degree.

I declined an opportunity to do a master's program in China just so I can focus on my painting in Ghana and its paying off. I make a lot of money from the painting.

He encourages young people not to only focus on our certificate but also to believe in our talents and work on them.
