She had issues with my mom but paid my school fees – CEO appreciates his ‘angel’ live on TV

Helping people is like leaving footprints on a muddy road. Everyone who comes after you will know someone has been here before. And if there is anything a man must respect then it is TIME.

Young business mogul and the Nkosuohene of Ga-Odumase, Nii Preious Kweku Senafiawo has manifested all the above in an up-close with Maame Abena Fabia and Clement Annor on the Active Morning Show on Active TV when he spoke about his humble beginning and how his life has been shaped by people he believed God specifically made and sent to earth to help him become who he is today.

Precious Kweku Senafiawo was born in the late 1980s to a policeman and a trader. Being the third of five and to a father who was suffering from diabetes was no rosy ground to grow. But according to him, his father prioritized his development and moved him to a private school where he[father] believed would offer his son the best education despite the family’s bad financial situation.

He started schooling at Crusaders, a public school in Takoradi where he was born because his father was stationed there at the time. Later when they moved to Alajo in Accra, things were not better off but life hard to move on. He, however, lost the father a few months before he went to Senior High School.

One person Mr Senafiawo said has helped made his life better today was Auntie Joyce. When he completed Junior High School and had admission to study at Labone Senior High School but had no money to pay the fees. All his friends had gone to school except him and when his mother went to beg the Headmistress of the school to allow him to report, the headmistress sacked her from the office saying she should look at people who are bringing ‘brown envelopes’ and she is fortunate her son got admission but she is rather begging to have him admitted for free.

But Auntie Joyce Asare decided to help him despite having doubts if he makes it whether he will come back to help her. According to him, the woman told her sister. “This your brother, if he makes will he come back to help me?” Despite that she gave the GHS80.00(80,000) which was needed to pay the fees and that helped him to go to school.

That was not the end of the struggles. According to him, he skipped two school days every week to work so that he can raise money to go to school the next days and that involved buying and selling phones ar Circle, Accra.

He told Auntie Joyce Asare when she joined the conversation via phone, “This morning we called you so that I can honour you on Active TV because I believe in this world if there is no one, there won’t be two. You are part of my success. It is through you that I got to where I am today. I remember that my sister[Beauty] came to you even though you and my mother were not on good terms but you were able to still give out that GHS80.00 for my Labone Secondary School fees. I had family who were more wealthy but they didn’t see the need to help me. They told me they should let me go and learn mechanics but you believed in me and decided that I deserved to be educated and you helped me to go to Secondary School.

“I remember when Pure City[Pure City International School] we were celebrating our fifth anniversary I brought you and honoured you. However, if today, it was through you that I went to Labone Secondary School and came and started Active TV and I am in the homes of 100s of Ghanaians or even 1000s…..then on behalf of my cherished viewers and workers at Active TV and Pure City, we say God bless you,” he said on live TV.
