'I thought he was my father until 16' - Dr Darius Osei shares emotional childhood story
Dr. Darius Kofi Osei revealed that he "didn't see… my mother was married to the father of my other brothers. So when I was growing up, that is what I saw. Actually, I thought he was my father until I was 16," speaking on Personality Profile on JoyNews. He is the Founding Chief Executive Officer of the University of Ghana Medical Centre. He recounted sitting in his mother's classroom as a toddler.
Dr. Osei said he effectively began "school" at age four. He said, "In fact, I was there for two years. I started at age four because she didn't have anybody to take care of her… so I was pulled along, and then you sat in that classroom at four, five, and six. So it's like you did class one for three years." He grew up with two brothers. He described the man who raised him as fair and compassionate, saying, "He was a very good man who never showed any sign that I'm not part of his children. So he treated all of us fairly and equally."
Dr. Osei's forthcoming book promises to delve into the untold struggles, defining moments and emotional complexities that shaped his path. He said, "It wasn't until I went to secondary school that something happened which I've chronicled in the book."
