First-class degree student of University Of Education, Winneba selling on street after national service
After completing her national service, Priscilla Akwagu, a single mother from Ghana, who overcame numerous obstacles—including selling buffloaf, also called as “bofrot”—to earn a university degree, has returned to street marketing.
Despite the challenges she faced in paying for her school while also taking care of her child, she graduated with honors from the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), an accomplishment that was warmly praised.

However, it appears that despite having completed her one-year mandatory national service and holding a first-class degree from one of the nation’s top universities, Akwagu was unable to find a better job. As a result, she made the difficult decision to put her shyness aside and resume her hawking business in order to survive.
She posted a message on the popular Ghanaian Facebook group Tell It All, where she shared photos of herself going about her street hawking.
She claimed that the purpose of the post was to motivate readers to start taking care of themselves and to stop being passive.
“We don’t post our stories to show off but to motivate others that they can equally make it with determination. Back to my hawking business after national service and hoping for the best to come.
“Life is how you mold with your own hands like molded flour. Let’s keep our hopes up and trust in ourselves always,” she wrote on Tell It All.
Many people praised her and stated that she is certainly an inspiration to other women in response to the countless responses to her article.
Priscilla struggled to balance her employment and school while taking care of her motherly duties by herself.
Her goal in attending the UEW in the Central Region was to better her life and the lives of her children, but after earning a first-class degree, she is still forced to work because there aren’t any immediate job options for her.
But she’s not giving up just yet. She expressed optimism that she will soon have greater prospects.
