Dickson, a mechanic born in a remote village near Kwabeng in the Eastern region, is thanking God for how far he has brought him.
Narrating his sad story on Y’asem Nie, a new segment on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Wednesday, he said surviving in Accra was divine intervention.

Dickson revealed how he chewed raw gari because he could not afford a square meal a day.
What worsened his situation, Dickson noted, was the total neglect by his siblings who helped him come to Accra.

“All my siblings neglected me so I had to survive on the little tips I got as an apprentice,” he said in Twi.
At the work place, Dickson said his master subjected him to inhumane treatment just because he was a fast learner.
“My boss will always suspend me at the least provocation so I learnt the work on my own,” he stressed.

But for the intervention of a white man who came to their shop to repair his car, Dickson said, he would not have been able to graduate.
“The white man became my friend after I was able to repair his car which had been at our workshop for years. He paid for my graduation fee and I was able to set myself free,” Dickson recounted.
