In as much as it may seems like it, the journey of life is not linear.
It takes all kinds of turns and as human our job is to make the most out of ever turn.
That could be the guiding principle of Doris Obenewaa Darko.
Here’s her story in a QnA w/ Edward Asare

Schools: Basic – Rose’s School Complex & Akim Commercial College JHS
SHS- Akwamuman SHS (Science)
Tertiary- KNUST (BSc Mathematics, MSc Actuarial Science).
Doris Obenewaa Darko, a Ghanaian food vendor, holds two degrees in Mathematics & Actuarial Science after painfully fending for herself since she finished high school.
Narrating her story in an interview, Doris indicates that she holds a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics after which she went ahead to study for an MSc in Actuarial Science, both at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
Doris harbored the dream of becoming a Medical Doctor, but life would push her to take a different turn.
A month after she completed senior high school, her father had a stroke, this forced her to read “Mathematics which is cheaper and takes 4 years. I was supported by strangers and my Dad’s sick pay.”
After graduating from KNUST with her BSc in Mathematics, Doris went to work with Goldfields. She later had a contract with ESCO but she lost the job when she enrolled in a Masters programme.
when she enrolled in a Masters programme.
After her successful completion of her Master of Science degree in Actuarial Science from KNUST, Doris has not been able to land a job.
To earn a living, she decided to turn her hobby into a revenue generation stream.
“I loved to cook, garnish & post on my social media page. So I had people admiring my work and encouraging me to start my own food business. In January 2020, she heeded to the advice & invested the little savings I made from my hair product business to start OB’s Kitchen“. She said.
Speaking of her future aspiration, Doris intends to grow OB’s kitchen into a big restaurant with branches all over Ghana. However, she still seeks a corporate job as she desires to put her studies into use and also pursue a PhD.
In another interesting report, some Ghanaian COVID-19 patients in intensive care units have revealed how they doubted the reality of the novel coronavirus outbreak in Ghana until their infection.
This was made public by Desmond Oppong a gentleman who has also tested positive for COVID-19 and has been put on isolation. He made this known on his personal Facebook handle.
Desmond narrated that getting infected with COVID-19 came as a surprise to him because he always made sure to protect himself by strictly abiding by all the required protocols.
