    YOUR NPP CREATED ALL THIS PROBLEMS DOWN SO BETTER SHUT UP AND FOCUS ON HOW YOU CAN SOLVE YOUR INTERNAL PROBLEMS.

  • DKB 10 years ago

    Stupid response from a demented fool. If you have nothing sensible to say about such important national issues, don't waste our time with your political nonsense.

  • Repugnant. 10 years ago

    "taking to arrested the situation."?

    Education is not for Osei Tawiah. The guy is only used to catching 'akranti3'- grass cutter in the cocoa farm. Thanks to the foresight of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, and the commitment by his devoted teachers, Osei Tawiah can ...

    Ghanaian standard of education began to drop when matters took a turn at the end of the 70's. Mediocre sycophants were rewarded. This article in itself is a testimony - "if prudent steps are TAKING". Correction, TAKEN. Second ...
