He said that his perspective is that certain people were inherently predisposed to negative behaviour and he would not want others to oversee his business in Ghana while he lives in the US.

Nana King said he would likely lose money when he starts a business in Ghana without returning to the country. He shared an experience that cemented his perspective.

The US-based Ghanaian said he once bought a car for a driver and asked him to render sales each week but the driver defaulted for three weeks and failed to reach out.

Nana King said the taxi driver’s lack of accountability caused him to mount a search to retrieve his car. This confirmed his concerns about doing business in Ghana.
