According to the National Democratic Congress MP, his ambition to become a priest was influenced by his association with a catholic priest while he was young.
He decided to enter the priesthood vocation while at Notre Dame Minor Secondary School in the Upper East Region in a bid to become a Reverend Father, Myjoyonline.com reported.

However, having put his girlfriend in a family way while at the age of 20 stopped him from pursuing the priestly ambition.
“I actually wanted to become a catholic priest and that was the only thing I wanted but before I could complete Lower Six, my girlfriend gave birth to my first son. I experimented and the whole experiment went wrong and he was born. I told myself that if being a priest is actually a calling, then this is a sign from God that I should not become one. So that was how my priestly ambitions ended,” he is quoted as saying.
In the absence of becoming a priest, Dr. Dominic Ayine decided to become a lawyer, a profession that has earned him a lot of prestige.
“I was left with no option but to become a lawyer,” he added.
