LIFE AND THE CALL. After schooling Daniel worked briefly at the Accra Municipal Council and then with a bossom friend called E.L. Quartey (of Koforidua Technical College) he joined the Army in 1963. With higher education qualification Daniel was drafted into the Military Academy to be trained as a Commissioned Officer but the coup of 1966 brought the intake of that year back to the barracks of the other ranks and they were never called back again. Why? Perhaps because Major H.A.H. Appiah (B.O.D.) and Colonel Kattah (M.O.D) who recommended him were no longer in charge of things. Well things were hectic in those days. All the same his intelligence shone through as he was transferred from B.O.D as a store man Grade II to Printing Administrator Grade I (M.O.D). Daniel rose through the ranks (a Sergeant) a head of the Monotype section of the Printing Press of the Armed Forces and assistant Chief Compositor. Daniel was to top it all by being appointed the Captain of the Ministry of Defense Football team. A team that starred three of the Nations very top stars (Ohene Brenya of Kotoko, Joe Ghartey of Hearts and Acquah of Susubiribi). In 1968 Daniel married his childhood sweetheart Lena Koshie Maanan. Before that Daniel has teamed up with friends (George, Rockson and Frank) to form his own pop Group the Super Channels. He would later produce a hit record “Monkey loves Banana”. Their first born Sey died after 3 ½ years of birth and Daniel became critically ill after that. In the process, he received a miraculous healing, and then called and commissioned by the Lord Almighty to bring lost souls into His vineyard. |
