Shatta Wale’s interview way back
He was asked “How does success look to him?
This line from his view got my attention “You will definitely be a failure before you become successful.”

Years ago, I traveled from Takoradi to Accra and spent the night outside the Chinese Embassy just to be among the first in line for a visa application.
I remember the exhaustion, the uncertainty, and the hope that all the sacrifice would be worth it. At the time, I was just another person chasing an opportunity, standing in a queue before sunrise, believing that persistence could open doors.
Today, I received an email saying the new Chinese Ambassador wants to meet me.
My first reaction was simple: “Why me?”
Life has a remarkable way of bringing moments full circle. The same place where I once waited outside, wondering whether I would even be noticed, is now inviting me inside.
This moment is bigger than me. It’s a reminder that no sincere effort is ever wasted, no journey is too small, and no dream is insignificant. Sometimes the places where we struggle the most become the places where we later discover how far we’ve come.
To everyone working quietly toward their goals: keep going. The long nights, the sacrifices, and the waiting may one day become part of a story you never imagined telling.
I am soo excited to announce that by the grace of God I have been selected to represent Ghana 🇬🇭 as part of DAZN 48 for the FIFA WORLD CUP @DAZNFootball#DAZN48
