He further stated that youth had anger and resentment towards rich men due to some of their success stories.

The businessman shared that he used to sell kerosene and deep-fried dough, popularly known as ‘bofrot’ in Ghana, during his youthful years on the streets of La in the Greater Accra Region.

In his own words;

“If you go on social media, people don’t tend to believe the rich men anymore. They think the rich men are corrupt.

“There is a lot of anger on social media. They will tell you how can you be a messenger and build an empire. How can you be selling kerosene? I was once selling bofrot and kerosene on the streets of La.”
