He said before he began producing his Angel Cream products in 1995, he worked professionally as a carpenter.

Dr Kwaku Oteng also refuted the assertion that he was as rich as many have claimed.

"I am not yet a billionaire but God has been good to me. I began in the 90s selling Angel Cream. But before that, I was a carpenter, I did furniture, beds, wardrobes and other items."

He expressed delight that his Angel Cream products were so popular and successful despite starting on a far smaller scale.

"There is no house in Kumasi that I have not visited to sell my products. I had my products with me moving from market to market. At times, dogs scared me away when I entered people's homes. I sold the Angel Cream and God blessed me through that. I was doing a day-night production. I started the Angel Cream business with my wife and one other person."

At the time of filing the report, the video had more than 1,000 likes and many comments.
