The business was very booming until they were robbed off all their capital when Oliver travelled to Nigeria to purchase goods for their shop. This led them to go their separate ways but still friends. Oliver left to join the Ghana Customs whilst Uncle Dave got a job with Local Cotton Development Company Limited as a Project Officer in charge of Afram Plains and the Northern Regions from 1988 to 1992.
