    You are just a thief. No ideas so you steal, no support so you steal, no message so you steal and no balls.

  • SAY IT LOUD 10 years ago

    What Ghana needs is a visionary leader, and Nana Akufo Addo is that leader. He said Free SHS is possible. Others said it is not. Today, the nays have seen the light, thanks to Nana Akufo Addo. He is our next President.

  • Tibaa 10 years ago

    The free SHS idea is nothing but a disgusting, pre-emptive move by the Mahama administration. If funding will be in the 2015 budget, then why throw dust in the eyes of Ghanaians by making the idea a current political hot pota ...

    Everything that these NDC government promise of doing always end up in a failure. I will not be surprise if this will not end up in a failure.
