A young man with God, ambition, drive, determination and only GHS1.50p in my pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The journey has been arduous many times with absolutely no hope in sight but my ultimate belief in God and myself have kept me going. Many days I walked from Lomnava to Osu in search of a job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Till my breakthrough job through Uncle Dennis at UNDP got me my first IT gig with that Agency and a whole world of consulting with several UN Agencies and the World Bank opened up to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Politics happened to me. A wife and 3 kids to boot have all happened in what seems a blur to me as I reminisce on 13 years of God\u2019s inexplicable grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My journey so far has been phenomenal thanks to the grace of God and the many men and women He has brought along my path. What scares me is that this is just the beginning of what God has in store for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I reaffirm my utmost belief in His plans and purpose for my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/hashtag\/lionborn?__eep__=6&amp;source=feed_text&amp;epa=HASHTAG\">#LionBorn<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/hashtag\/hyewonhye?__eep__=6&amp;source=feed_text&amp;epa=HASHTAG\">#HyeWonHye<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/hashtag\/battleaxe?__eep__=6&amp;source=feed_text&amp;epa=HASHTAG\">#BattleAxe<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/hashtag\/thatwhichisindestructible?__eep__=6&amp;source=feed_text&amp;epa=HASHTAG\">#ThatWhichIsIndestructible<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/hashtag\/thatwhichfirecannotburn?__eep__=6&amp;source=feed_text&amp;epa=HASHTAG\">#ThatWhichFireCannotBurn<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.facebook.com%2Fpermalink.php%3Fstory_fbid%3D10220738341341304%26id%3D1020164865&amp;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"553\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:\u00a0MyNewsGh.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Member of Parliament(MP) for Ningo&nbsp;-Prampram, Sam George has revealed how some thirteen years ago, he came back to Ghana without a plan to start life.
