Those animals who have NO TAIL, God himself drive away flies from them.
Thank you Azumi for giving us the courage to fight on as perseverance and hard work pays.

Anybody who know whereabouts of this Azumi should help asking if she ever sells wachei at "Bubuashi" before. Looking at her, she looks like a girl called “Azumi” that I was deeply in love before I travelled outside the country and since then, I have been trying all possible means to relocate her but to no avail. The girl helps me a lot when I was apprentice in mechanical workshop at Swanlike opposite Saint Theresa’s School. Please someone help me, I’m ready to pay anything please. Oooh my heart is bleeding as I’m writing now. Following is my email address: information@ndleabf.com

Could some NGO please help this lady to establish her chop bar in a decent place or in her own home town? She deserves some help from a philanthropist!

Congratulations, Azumi, for your perseverance and resourcefulness.

Your story should shame all those graduates and other well-educated young people who are idling away waiting for somebody to employ them.

Get on your bikes, folk, gird your loins and put your hands to the wheel.

No one owes you a living. The world is your oyster.

Yes, THIS IS A VISION OF AN AMBITIOUS LADY COME TRUE. SHE HAS BEEN ABLE TO HUSTLE IN GHANA AND HAS MADE IT. PEOPLE IN GHANA WHO SOLELY DEPEND ON PEOPLE OVERSEASE FOR THEIR SURVIVAL SHOULD TAKE A NOTE. THE MOST ANNOYING THING IS THAT EVEN AFTER YOU'VE SENT THEM MONEY TO TRADE WITH, THEY PUT THE MONEY IN THEIR ROOM AND SPEND IT, AND WHEN IT'S FINISHED THEY PICK UP THE PHONE

Greener pastures are right at our backyard.This lady's story should tell us that progress and prosperity are right here at home.We go to Europe or to the Arab world to do all sorts of 'untidy' work to earn peanuts and at times at the expense of our dignity.If we can do the same kind of work at home I believe we can be more successful in life.

Hard work always pay. I'm really proud of her achievement. There would be no need for kayayei if the politicians stop stealing our money.

It's good that you're helping your mother and siblings back home. With all these years, i haven't heard from you talking about your own nuclear family. Anyway, i don't know about your age. If you're of age, please get married and use some of the money to build your 'small' family too. It's very important!
I wish you well in your future endeavours, hoping business is normalized!

I have always have a problem with The Ghana media. They will never give credit to deserving authors. I have seen this particular story on about 10 websites with the #MotivateGhana. How come Ghanaweb has decided not to give credit to the author. I stand to be corrected but I think A page i have liked on facebook called Motivate Ghana is originator of this article. And to those who needs Azumi's contact it will be better if you write to Motivate Ghana on their facebook page.
