NABCO Guy narrates how he used the GHC700 ‘alawa’ to turn his life around, now CEO of Barbershop
A young man who claims to be a beneficiary of Ghana’s Nation Builders Corps ( NABCO ) program has narrated how he strategically used the 700ghc monthly allowance to turn his life around.
According to the man with the Twitter handle @BigbloodyRalph, he knew the program was not permanent, so he made up his mind to sacrifice and build a good source of income for himself out of the little allowance.
He spoke about how he now owns a barbering shop at Kasoa Brigade Junction which is a daily source of income from his monthly allowance.
Although @BigbloodyRalph admitted that the allowance is nothing to write home about, he said he had to suspend buying clothes, shoes and expensive phones to be able to achieve this feat. His revelation follows a post by TV3’s Berla Mundi on her Twitter seeking to have some of the NABCO recruits appear on the station’s Morning Show to share their experiences.
“I need some NABCO beneficiaries on @tv3newday tomorrow to share their experiences the policy’s impact on them,” Berla wrote, asking: “Anyone?” However, some followers of Berla Mundi have expressed doubts in @BigbloodyRalph’s story, saying it is completely impossible to accomplish all that he claimed to have used the NABCO allowance for unless he has another source of income in addition.
