“When they saw me carrying the eggs, they sacked me because they said they do not sell there. I was very sad because I thought going to the church would rather help. I cried and went home with all the eggs. I couldn't sell any,” he recounted.
Being the first of seven children, Collins migrated from his hometown in the Western North region to the capital city for a better job. However, life in Accra has not been easy for the young chap.
As a result, he decided to venture into a business rather than work for 300 Cedis monthly. Also, from his little income, he supports his younger brother who is studying in a technical school.
“I wanted something that men are not known for. I realised there are not many men selling boiled eggs, that is why I decided to join the business,” he said.
Collins is a licensed driver who will appreciate help from a car owner, to register for a ride-hailing service.
