The leader of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, widely known as Cheddar has recounted how he amassed his first million dollars at the age of 21.<\/p>\n
The source of this financial success, he revealed, was a combination of ventures in telecommunications and the strategic business of selling scrap in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
Detailing his entrepreneurial journey on the Point of View<\/strong><\/em> on Citi TV<\/strong>, Cheddar explained that he invested $20,000 from his initial million-dollar earnings to establish a club in Ghana.<\/p>\nAccording to him, this move eventually yielded $75,000 after selling the club in 2002.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first money I made in England altogether was a million pounds and I was 21. I was working for myself, my company was GT, Global Telecommunications and Utilities I was selling scrap. I had my own office and I two employees.<\/p>\n
\u201cI started investments at a very young age and what happens when you make investments is that the money goes away and it feels like you are broke again so it makes you hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cheddar also promised to give the youth opportunities to be part of the country\u2019s decision-making processes to choose leaders when he is voted into power in the 2024 polls.<\/p>\n
According to him, the youth have not been given such opportunities in the last four decades.<\/p>\n
Instead, he said they were only used by politicians who offered them money in exchange for their votes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that the New Force is standing for the youth in this country. We believe that in the past four decades, the youth should have the right to be a part of the decision \u2013 how and who is going to lead us and how they are supposed to lead us.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the past four decades, between NDC and NPP, there hasn\u2019t been any young person who has stood up with the courage to say that I am coming in, and I am going to become the unifier.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
