“I aspire to be a lecturer so that I can give people hope, I can encourage people. There are so many people who are in the university who are like me. They think this thing they do is a mirage so I want to go back to them, go back to the senior high schools, go back to the colleges and tell them if I could do it they could do much better,” he said in an interview.

 

“I am working hard because the focus is not to only play for Accra Great Olympics but to go to Europe and play and come back home to inspire people.” He added.
