After a year of providing free financial trading education and mentorship to thousands of aspiring traders in Ghana and beyond, renowned financial trader, entrepreneur, business coach, and mentor Bernard Sowah Opoku, popularly known as Flyerboyamisty, has officially drawn the curtain on his flagship free trading class.
The year long mentorship programme which participants say attracted learners from across Ghana and several other countries offered practical lessons in financial trading at no cost. According to Flyerboyamisty, the initiative was born out of his desire to equip young people with practical skills while helping them avoid the growing number of online investment and trading scams.
Addressing members of the trading community at the close of the programme, Flyerboyamisty emphasised that financial trading is not a scam but a professional skill that requires discipline, education and continuous learning.
“Trading is not a scam. It is a skill that must be learned with the right knowledge, patience and discipline. My goal has always been to educate people so they do not fall victim to fraudsters who prey on those seeking financial freedom,” he said.
The free mentorship programme has been widely praised by participants many of whom credit it with improving their understanding of financial markets and changing their perception of trading as a legitimate profession.
Flyerboyamisty acknowledged the immense contribution of his dedicated class representatives, describing them as instrumental to the success of the programme. He specifically commended Mad. Hubash, Kwame Sika and Flexy Brown for their commitment, coordination and support throughout the one year journey.
According to him, the programme’s success was the result of teamwork, consistency and the willingness of participants to learn and grow together.
New Chapter Focuses on Entrepreneurship
Although the free trading class has ended Flyerboyamisty says his mission to empower young people is far from over.
Beginning today, he is launching a free entrepreneurship class aimed at equipping Ghanaian youth with practical business knowledge, innovative ideas and entrepreneurial skills to help them create sustainable livelihoods.
He explained that the initiative seeks to contribute to the fight against youth unemployment by encouraging young people to build businesses rather than relying solely on the limited formal employment opportunities available.
According to him, entrepreneurship has the potential to reduce poverty, create jobs and contribute to national development.
He believes that when more young people are economically empowered, social problems such as robbery, theft and other forms of crime driven by financial hardship can be reduced.
While acknowledging the economic challenges facing many young Ghanaians, Flyerboyamisty maintained that Ghana remains one of the most peaceful countries in the world and said empowering citizens through education and entrepreneurship is one way of preserving that peace.
Harami Foundation Extends Support to the Vulnerable
Beyond financial education and entrepreneurship, Flyerboyamisty is also championing humanitarian work through the Harami Foundation, a charitable organisation dedicated to supporting vulnerable members of society.
The foundation regularly distributes kokonte and palm oil to people living on the streets as part of its ongoing feeding programme.
According to Flyerboyamisty, the foundation’s activities are inspired by the belief that sharing is caring with plans underway to expand its humanitarian interventions to reach more disadvantaged communities across the country.
He noted that the foundation has bigger long term ambitions that will further contribute to improving the lives of vulnerable people and support national development.
Commitment to Youth Empowerment
For many participants, Flyerboyamisty’s one year free trading mentorship represented more than financial education. It became a platform for personal growth, discipline and hope.
As he transitions from trading education to entrepreneurship mentorship, Flyerboyamisty says his vision remains unchanged—to inspire, educate and empower young people with practical skills that can transform lives, reduce unemployment and create a new generation of financially independent entrepreneurs.
With the entrepreneurship programme now underway, he hopes to continue impacting lives through knowledge sharing, mentorship and community service, reinforcing his belief that empowering people with the right skills is one of the most sustainable pathways to economic transformation.
