From Charcoal To Greater Things: The Grass To Grace Story Of Bapube Brothers

There is story of two Ghanian brothers trending on social media presently. It's the zero to hero success story of Abu Bakr Bapube and Nuhu Bapube.

The story, as shared by Abu Bakr Bapube on his brother's Facebook page, is nothing but a great motivation for the youths. To be focused, persevered and hard working for them to be successful.

Reminiscing on their humble beginnings, Abu Bakr spoke about how they were able to pick the pieces of their lives together by selling charcoal, having lost their father at a tender age.

He said: "He is my kid brother and friend. Charcoal was the business and we did it happily without any resentment.

That was how we paid our school fees because dad died quite early (may Allah have absolute mercy on his soul).

I Remember during my university days (1st degree), we went to Kumasi-Asokwa to deliver charcoal to a customer whose son was then in high school.

We pleaded if the son could help us and the woman quickly intervened by saying ‘my son can’t do this job cos he attends high school’.

Of course, she thought with our appearances, we hadn’t been to any classroom before. We didn’t say anything but went ahead to do the job and moved in.

Today here we are, hoping that at least our kids would have something better.

To the young ones, keep working hard, stay away from crime, and be more patient. Allah will surely grant you the best you deserve. #persevere"

Both Abu Bakr Bapube and Nuhu Bapube are said to be gainfully employed in UK.
