  Little Susie was not the best student in catholic School . Usually she slept through the class. One day her teacher, a Nun, called on her while she was sleeping.
  
  
  'Tell me Susie, who created the universe?'
  
  
  When Susie didn't stir, little Johnny who was her friend sitting behind her, took his pencil and jabbed her in the rear.
  
  
  'God Almighty!' shouted Susie.
  
  
  The Nun said, 'Very good' and continued teaching her class..
  
  
  A little later the Nun asked Susie, 'Who is our Lord and Savior?'
  
  
  But Susie didn't stir from her slumber.
  
  
  Once again, Johnny came to her rescue and stuck her in the butt.
  
  
  'Jesus Christ!!!' shouted Susie.
  
  
  And the Nun once again said, 'Very good,' and Susie fell back asleep.
  
  
  The Nun asked her a third question...'What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?'
  
  
  Again, Johnny came to the rescue. This time Susie jumped up and shouted,'If you stick that thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!'
  
  
  The nun fainted.

  the only way forward to introducing libraries in all communities. Minister of Education and her deputy Ablakwa are clueless about what education entails.
  Acess to a local library is all these children demand from the Minister ofr Education but would she honour it when the no careful thought is put for the very young.

  Go to our community libraries and see. You only see students reading pamphlets in preparation for their exams. What a stupid educational system.

  I remember during my school days, before entering secondary school Form 4, I had read 9 different Literature books from Form 1 to Form 3. This is where you develop the reading culture. Nowadays what do you see? Students only read to pass exams. What a bogus new system of education.

  Whats the big fuss? You are all part of the problem. Over the years all of you have tried in one way or the other to many Twi, Ghana's lingua franca, matter of fact some Akan leaders have tried to force the issue or even undermine certain institutions when they have the power. It has become such an arrogant and boisterous affair even now there are billboards trying so hard to confuse a delirious population. The truth about Ghana it has gone to the dogs, and it makes Colonialism and the Gold Coast seem more tolerable. I just think that it is too late to fix Ghana as it is now, ultimately a few would defy the local content bastardization and keep their children ahead of the pack or out of the mayhem. So many Ghanaians take delight in looking stupid, talking stupid, eating stupid and that is our dilemma. Like most underclass citizens the world over, the average Ghanaian family does not create a conducive learning environment for their children when they are home from school. They have TV's and Radios on loud, blasting senseless music, or watching some ignorant Twi movies and shows, there are no documentaries or children's learning program's ...
