Kumawood actor Akwasi Boadi, widely known as Akrobeto, has opened up about a personal decision involving one of his children, explaining how he eventually redirected him from formal education into vocational training after academic struggles.
Speaking in a video circulating online, Akrobeto revealed that one of his sons, whose name he chose not to disclose, struggled academically even after progressing through senior high school.
He noted that despite those challenges, the young man remained eager to pursue higher education, influenced in part by the academic paths of his older siblings.
According to him, repeated attempts to support that ambition did not yield success, which ultimately led to a change in direction toward a practical skill.
“My third-born wanted to attend university. I tried everything to put him through school, but he wasn’t academically gifted enough. He wrote three different remedial exams and still didn’t pass.
“But because one of his elder brothers was abroad and the other was in university, he remained determined to attend university,” he said.
Akrobeto went on to explain how guidance from the late Apostle Sarfo Kantanka played a turning point in reshaping his son’s path.
“I took him to Apostle Kantanka, and he advised my son to choose something else aside from formal education. So he chose phone repairs. I then took him to a place called China House in Kumasi and rented a place for him.
“I used to send him GH¢100 every week… Can you imagine that after eight months, he told me to stop sending him money? He had mastered phone repairs and was capable of fixing.”
