We all follow people on social media, each one of them for particular reasons. Every individual on social media has a story to tell through the content of one kind or another, and once they have gained our loyalty, they often have it for life. His Royal Highness Oscar Yao Doe a business mogul and transformer shared a message today on the reason he loves to support education. He titled this My message to the up and coming generation!
The Reason Why I Supports Education Development:Year 1983 in Koforidua,E.R of Ghana, My late wealthy great grandmother Adjo Asigbe (AWAGA) got blind so my late grandmother Victoria Nyemekeh ( AWAVI), the one I named my nursery school after, did her best by taking my great grandmother to many hospitals, including herbal medicine to cure her but to no avail, so my great grandmother asked that she should be taken to Dabala Agboglan, our hometown and her wish was respected and eventually she died peacefully in 1988.
During this challenging period I was also schooling at Koforidua Roman Catholic Boys School, even though in our class I used to come first in all our exams since class 3, I was really struggling to pay my school fees and feeding so I quickly began to help my aunt Yaada (YAA,D) in fish business so I can make some money to pay my school fees and feeding. Sometimes I even carry the fish on my head from the cold storage after I close from school with my school uniform on and my schoolmates who see me carry the fish carton on my head laughed but I ignored always.
My aunt Yaada really fell in love with my commitment to help her business and she gave me so much love and protection, including making sure I never went hungry. She fed me breakfast, lunch and dinner!
So when I got a breakthrough in Lome -Togo in 1989 to work during my school vacation period with the wealthy African Horrizon Group ( a Group that buy Gold & Diamond and export to Europe), I also began to shower my aunt Yaada with money, dollars of money, when she died in Koforidua I gave her befitting burial to the admiration of the people of Koforidua.
So because of my story, because of my struggle to pay school fees, and school feeding, I began to build schools after i had become a multi millionaire, make it free tuition, free admission and free feeding. So that at least few people can avoid my past situation.
Oscar Yao Doe went ahead to advise the younger ones on the attitude of helping and keeping a clean heart. he said ‘ To my younger generation: Don’t wait till you get everything in life including political power and wealth before you start doing good to other people! Create good in your heart from the onset for your own good.’
