Koforidua was a peaceful City in the suburbs, a district in the Republic of Ghana where peasants lived, here Kwame was brought up by the Mensah's family who were just peasant farmers.

They had picked him up on the road as an abandoned child when he was about eight years of age, he grew up in the home of these farmers and even went to school.

Fate shun on him gloriously as he was offered admission to read law in China, he was so intelligent a lad. He returned to Ghana years later and was offered an employment at the national bureau of judicial engagements.

He became very wealthy but never in his whole life did he remember to go say thank you to his former benefactors until one day when he went to a church for a wedding, prophet Boateng called him out of the crowd admonishing him to immediately go and make peace with the fingers that fed him.

The following day he travelled to the village where the Mensah's were living and fortunately they were still there, he threw himself to the ground on bended knees sobbing profusely and blaming everything on the devil.
