• A video of a young man, who hawks on the street, detailing how he began his business has warmed hearts online
• In the video, Ernest Antwi said it was his ex-girlfriend who gave him the idea to start working as a street hawker
• He, however, said that the lady dumped him soon after he began the business and his efforts to patch up with her proved futile

Ernest Antwi, a young, industrious man, has opened up on where the idea to venture into street hawking came from.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on YouTube, the student of Accra Technical University (ATU), who spoke to Kwadwo Sheldon on his hustle, said it was his former girlfriend who advised him to start doing something to fend for himself.

Initially, he said the lady suggested that he becomes a potter, an advice he refused.

"She was unhappy that I didn't have money yet I was arrogant. Later, she advised me to venture into the sale of pure water, and this time round, I agreed. When I informed her of my decision, she prayed for me and wished me all the best."

Quizzed by the interviewer on whether he is dating the lady, Ernest responded in the negative.

"It got to a time she demanded money from me and I was unable to give it to her. From there, she blocked my number and I was unable to reach her again."
