Ghanaian media personality, Dan Kwaku Yeboah, has recounted that he sold newspapers to finance his education at Swedru Senior High School.
The head of sports at Despite Media also revealed that he sometimes lived on leftover food. Yeboah recounted that he lived under scruffy conditions with his senior brother in a single room.
Yeboah disclosed that he lived predominantly with his senior brother because he was sacked from his father’s house. According to him, his stepmother was the reason why he was nearly rendered homeless.
Life kept throwing lemons at him as he lost his birth father during his final year in senior high school.
When Yeboah finally completed Swedru Senior High School, he faced another financial hurdle and almost lost the opportunity to further his education.
After defeating rounds of odds, he gained admittance to the University of Cape Coast (UCC), where he studied Agriculture.
Yeboah recounted that his uncle, Hon Kojo Acquah Yankah, a former Member of Parliament in Ghana and Minister of State in the Rawlings government, paid his admission and tuition fees from first to final year.
