A video has surfaced on Jonathan, a BSc Administration (Accounting) degree holder from the University of Ghana, who is now in the Koko-selling business in Hohoe.
According to Jonathan seven years after graduating, he has grown his Koko business into a restaurant with 12 branches, employing many Ghanaians and serving breakfast in Hohoe and beyond.
He also revealed he employs many Junior High School graduates and Senior High School graduates.
Speaking in an interview Jonathan stated, “Since I was out of School this has been a family business, I was at Legon and did a BSc Administration major in accounting a degree holder, I graduated in 2008, and since then I took up this job to make it a big one, that employs especially SHS graduates”.
“Most of my workers are in School, Junior High School graduate and Senior High School graduate. I have twelve branches in town, aside from breakfast we do lunch, We do delivery as well”, he detailed.
Meanwhile, some Ghanaians have shared their thought under the post saying, “Hope he finds a more eco-friendly solution to using single use plastic . Phthalates are slowly making us sick. #saynotobankurubber”
“One of my brothers holds a degree first class in petroleum. Another one too a degree in Accounting and me WASSCE. We have taken over our mum’s tea bread business and we never regret taking such a decision”, another stated.
One X user also wrote, “ I see nothing wrong with this. As he rightly said, ‘It’s a family business.’ In this country, we’ve seen major family-owned businesses struggle or even collapse over time…
Darko Farms and others couldn’t withstand the test of time because the next generation couldn’t sustain them after their founders passed away. If anything, his decision to be actively involved in the business should be commended. It takes vision, commitment, and hard work to preserve and grow a family legacy, no matter the industry. Before you judge the system, find out the revenue generation of the business”.
Additionally, another wrote, “My bro completed Koforidua Technical University with his master’s degree in Marketing and he started selling popcorn 🍿 I used to help him with the selling until he left the country..We start from where before we move to somewhere”
