According to him, he faced a lot of setbacks in trying to earn his first million dollars, so he increased his target to two million and that came faster.

He told television show host Doloris Frimpong Manso (Delay) that he got the first idea for success from attending a lot of seminars.

In an interview on the Delay Show, Dr Amoah said at one of such seminars, a speaker said an ideal business was one where you earn money while sleeping.

When pressed further by the host, Dr Amoah said he made the vast majority of his wealth by facilitating the entry of global remittance service provider, Western Union, into Africa.

He said he got the idea because he encountered difficulty in sending money to his mum in Ghana in the ’90s.

Dr Amoah, said as the Chief Executive Officer of Progeny Ventures he had to travel across the continent to advertise and sign-on agents.

Western Union started its African operations from Ghana in 1995. Twelve years on, the company had expanded its operations to almost all 54 African states.

He said among the many countries he signed onto the money transfer service were Eritrea, South Africa and Ethiopia.

He said the government must provide more information about the purchase of the vaccine from Russian for $19 instead of $10.

The Ministry of Health has defended its decision to purchase the vaccine.

It admitted to dealing with middlemen noting that, the $10 price per dose is the ex-factory price, but the government was unable to buy directly from the Russian government, hence, the use of the private office of one Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook Al Maktoum of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Dubai.

But Dr Amoah, in a post on Twitter, is still not satisfied with the answers given by the government.

WHO has warned that there’re fake vaccines, n that countries must deal directly with vaccine manufacturers or thru Govts

Where did the agents who sold Ghana the Sputnik V vaccines get them from n are these agents registered with Russian-Govt licensed manufacturers?

Gh Govt pls? pic.twitter.com/6crc9ueknM

He called on the Government of Ghana to provide the citizens with more information, clarity and education on their purchase of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccines which is currently causing the government an embarrassment.
