Update on the popcorn machine. Amansaman Royal City. Joshua Mensah is a University graduate, but after service, he kept looking for a job, but he got none. He said he wanted to venture into the popcorn business since there’s already a market where he resides. There’s a public school around, and aside from that, there’s a market there, too, but it’s like there’s no popcorn machine around. I went to verify his story n even checked his certificates. He’s legit.

At the time of this publication, the post has racked up close to 5,000 reactions with 371 comments and 29 shares.
