We’re not promoting street hawking by selling bread – Da Hammer
Entertainment of Saturday, 4 August 2018Source: www.ghanaweb.comWe’re not promoting street hawking by selling bread – Da Hammerplay videoMusic producer and sound engineer, Da HammerHawking is very common to see in Ghana, particularly on the streets of Accra where people with various goods, line up in a peculiar fashion, selling their wares for drivers, passengers and pedestrians to purchase. Though it is an issue of concern to government and citizens, hawkers could ‘care less’ once they are earning money. Da Hammer is confident that vendors of his product; A1 Bread will soon be provided with alternative means of selling to ensure they don’t add to the menace of hawking. Da Hammer who is the Vice President of A1 bakery revealed that the street vendors earn more than 100 cedis per day, a trade which makes it easier for one to get his own car through hard work. Hammer who recently joined the bread business has groomed some of the best Ghanaian Hip Hop or Hiplife artists, including Obrafour, Tinny, Kwaw Kese, Sarkodie, Ayigbe Edem, and others.

'When your wife jilts you for not having kids, don't blame condoms' – Gabby jabs Adongo
Read Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko’s full reply below:I read that I am being schooled by Adongo on banking. Yes, in theory a universal bank can choose to offer investment banking services and even brokerage services as part of its product offering. A true investment bank and asset manager bank, like Databank, which is only licensed by the SEC and not the BoG, cannot do what a universal bank does. So why bring Databank into a different set of regulated companies?! It is a totally different business model with a different set of natural competitors.
