Our cheap and greedy pastors make people think that God hears you best when you go to Jerusalem. I was surprised myself when Akuffo Addo went to pray in Jerusalem. Look, my town Wiamoase in Ashanti region is also blessed. Pastors who take money for this useless trip are fake. Use the money sensibly.

It is an Obroni woman who has paid teachers for years
That woman allowed her own property, in Samsam Odumase, to be used and brought in school material and books. Every month she sent funds to the teachers. Guess what ? She has only suffered insults and abuse from Ghanaians. I cry for her and feel ashamed.

Didn't you see it coming? I told Mahama so after the Doctors' strike. Wait, nuses will follow soon. Visit GNAT and NAGRAT offices and see the people who work there. Do you remember how Kwami Alorvi also led a strike? Teachers are just not treated fairly in Ghana and the trend must be reserved. The days when teachers were told their reward is in heaaven is past and gone.

My eternal sympathies!! Remember that a lot of Ghanaians think that whites are rich. So they try to scam them. A good rule of thumb is to never send money to anybody unless you personally know them. Too many Americans have lost large sums of money this way. They tell u sob stories and claim they love you. They only try to separate you and your money. It happens all the time. Ghanaians and Nigerians are the worst culprits. They even have names for this scam.Again, my sympathies!!!

Teachers, as much as I hate the children missing out on education, because in the end they are the ones being hurt, please strike. If the government has money to give politicians 50,000.00 new Ghana cedes for supposedly housing which they don't deserve, you have a right to demand increase in you salary. Wasteful politicians rapping our country.

Why is it that NOBODY is on the ground and getting some underground stories about the strike-- LIKE Why are teachers still extorting STUDY fees from the children during a STRIKE-- they are showing up in the morning demanding 1-2 GHC for studies and then they go back home and SLEEP! Check out AME ZION/ MARKET1 / SOUTH3 in MAMPROBI - if you DONT BELIEVE ME!!! CHILDREN ARE BEING getting a DOUBLE PORTION OF ABUSE- NO education and extortion!
