His involvement with the now-defunct Kumasi Keep Fit Club, where he trained under the late national athletics coach Mr Lawson, further highlights his long-term dedication to fitness. Throughout his life, Papa’s dedicated approach to maintaining his health, despite obstacles, reflects his enduring discipline. For the past 55 years, Papa has made a habit of travelling to the UK every summer, a tradition that underscores his commitment to consistency and routine. This annual journey has become an essential part of his well-ordered life, reflecting his dedication to maintaining tradition. A quirky trait of Papa is his meticulous approach to shopping. He engages in extensive research and scrutinises every detail of an item before making a purchase. Spontaneous shopping is simply not in his vocabulary; instead, his routine revolves around careful deliberation and precision. This methodical approach highlights his belief that life should be well-regulated and organised. Papa’s routine also includes a love for classical music and morning devotion. His disciplined lifestyle and deep faith are central to his identity, and he feels immensely blessed and proud of the achievements of his children and grandchildren, considering them part of his lasting legacy.
