Hard work really pays. I am impressed. But for the journalist to assert that working as a Personal Banker (Customer service in a US bank) being a dream job for many is grossly false. Customer service job in a US bank pays a little beyond minimum wage.

I bet he never made S180,000.00 a year else he would have been here in the USA.
He worked low wages at the fastfood places and the teller job (he now wants to refer as personal banker is almost minimum too)
He didn't pay his student's loan and run from US to sell pie in Ghana.
Perhaps he is still owing child support too.

Its not about how much you get paid. Its all about how you feel inside and the freedom you get at the end of the day. I bet you wont be happy taking $300000 a week in jail for the rest of your life.

A positive and uplifting story. It clearly indicates that with hard work and perseverance you can succeed. All your experiences in life are important because they help you to grow. He tried everything and kept on trying until he succeeded. He did not say that because he is a graduate, he should not sell meat pie in the market.
Create business opportunities for yourself and don't allow people to tell you that some business or jobs are beneath you because of your qualifications.
Congratulations, Barima Osei. The sky is the limit!

Your story is quite motivating, what I particularly like about it is your resilience and dedication to success.
I was in Ghana, around October last year, and on my journey from Accra to Agona Swedru, one of my relatives in the car recommended that we buy "Adinkra" for the road.
I didn't know what he was talking about, but to be frank with you, it tasted so good with yogurt that I had to eat two at a time. Congratulations my brother, I wish you all the best!

ASHANTIS re born to succed . They re like the Jews and Israelites that God has blessed to transform the country . When u ignored them especially in governance, then think about ur fall.
Ashantis have history of doing business with the colonists and merchants . Lots of stories have proven that . So no wonder he has succeeded without stealing from the government like the Ewes thieves do in Ghana .
So let Ashantis lead and more jobs wil b created for GHANAIANS .

'From banking to selling pie - The Adinkra story'. The heading is bit misleading. This guy has shown entrepreneurial spirit and a better caption would have been: From banking to producing pie - Adinkra Story'. The reason we read these stories are not only to inform, educate and entertain but someone reading such a story might be inspired and make something out of his/her life. There may be a lot of people out there who may have ideas of doing something better to improve their lot and all they need may be such inspirational stories. Calling it 'selling pie' takes the shine off the achievement of this guy. We should be mindful he is also an employer, helping to reduce the high volume of unemployment in the country. All the best in your venture, Mr. Mensah.
