Renowned sports journalist, Dan Kwaku Yeboah, has said that his inability to stay with his father during his childhood days to attend an elite school is something he regrets deeply.
According to his account, he was raised in a broken home where he initially stayed with his father in Agona Swedru and attended an elite preparatory school.
He noted that the situation changed when he complained to his mother about some issues regarding the way his stepmother treated him.
The Peace FM journalist indicated that this prompted his mother to voice her concerns to his father, after which she took him to live with her in Agona Duakwa, where he had to settle for a public school.
“I am from a broken home, so there were times I stayed with my mother in Agona Duakwa. My father, who resided close to us in Agona Swedru, took me to stay with him and my stepmother. He enrolled me in a preparatory school, which was the highest in terms of quality at the time, called Swedru High School.
“My classmate was Kwaw Kese back then. When my mother visited us, I would report everything my stepmother did to me, and my mother would insult my father. So eventually, she took me back to Duakwa. Because she wasn’t financially stable, I was enrolled in a public school,” he said in an interview with Peace FM and shared on TikTok on July 16, 2025.
The former Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) Journalist of the Year winner indicated that he deeply regrets the decision, as he believes he would have had a better educational foundation if he had stayed with his father.
“I have realised that it affected my educational foundation. If I had the opportunity again, I would correct it to have a sound one. That’s the only thing [I regret], but apart from that, God has been good in every facet of my life,” he shared.
