Dr Osei Kwame Despite
Dr Osei Kwame Despite was born as Osei Kwame in Agona Wiamoase in the Ashanti region. He grew up in a middle-class home in the village and has always aspired to a better life.
The educational background of Osei Kwame Despite is not known, but he holds an honorary degree from a British university.
The title was conferred on him for his entrepreneurial efforts, philanthropy and contribution to the growth of the economy.
Mr. Baudouin also holds an honorary doctorate in human resources from the University of Canterbury, is an honorary ambassador for West African entrepreneurs, and an honorary man of the hour in Ghana, West Africa.
Despite started hustling at an early age, trading whatever he could to survive. He sells music cassettes, baby bottles, padlocks and other goods in Dunkwa-Offinso, in the central region of Ghana.
Life in his village was not lucrative, so Despite emigrated to Lagos, Nigeria, after many years of struggle, in search of greener pastures.
His journey was cut short in 1983, however, when he was forced to flee Nigeria due to political unrest in the country. He came back to Ghana with a dream and a chainsaw.
He started selling cassettes before diversifying into broadcasting, setting up an Akan-language radio station, Peace FM, in 1999 at Mile 7 Junction. The station became the country’s favourite because it used the Akan language in its broadcasts, as opposed to the Queen’s language. It was the beginning of his media empire and financial breakthrough.
He is also co-founder and vice-chairman of Best Point Savings and Loans Ltd, a highly regarded financial institution in the country.
