Kwadwo Obeng, a young Ghanaian man who makes a living as a Kenkey seller, has left many inspired after he opened up about his humble beginnings.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on the YouTube page of De God Son TV, Kwadwo opened up about his journey as a Kenkey seller, disclosing that he began selling with his mother and eventually took charge of the food business.

He said his decision to venture into the kenkey business initially did not go down well with his mother, as she wanted him to pursue a university education after completing SHS.

Quizzed on whether the Kenkey food business is lucrative, the young man responded in the affirmative.

"After my first week of doing this job, I was surprised because when I checked my profit after taking out other expenses and compared it to degree holders earning GH¢3,000 or GH¢4,000 monthly salary, I could see I was ahead."

"The kenkey business is good; you can make a daily profit of GH¢500," he told the interviewer.

Since venturing into the kenkey food business, Kwadwo admitted that he had forgone his initial desire to join the Ghana Army or travel abroad.

"In 2019, I applied to the military but was not successful. I even told my mother I wanted to relocate abroad, but I no longer have that ambition."

At the moment, Kwadwo Obeng says he has the desire to pursue university education unless there is certainty that there will be an available job for him once he completes school.

He also advised Ghanaians to forgo the notion that blue-collar jobs are not profitable and sustainable.
