Yusif should go back to school and not let these ignorant people derail his educational goals. Ghanaians need to be educated on albinism so they can let go with this primitive idea about albinos. Albinos are people too and and not animals to be scarified to appease some god. Most responses on this thread have asked for the government's intervention in this matter. One person has even gone to extent of asking Yusif to be sent to either to UK or the US for his safety. Those a are all extreme solutions. This ought to be addressed at the local level, without involving the government. Ghanaians listen to their local chiefs, so I would implore the chief of the area to address the issue with the community and personally escort Yusif Fatua to school to show his support to this kid. It is time for the chief of the area to use his influence and prestige to ensure that all community members are treated equally and with respect.

It is sad that this this kind of thing is going on in Ghana. A young person's future is jeopardized due to such insensitive and discriminatory behavior. I am hoping that the social welfare and the leadership of the community will organize and help prevent such behavior from preventing the boy from achieving his goals. For example, Social Welfare can provide protection for him to and from school. (I am, through this medium, contacting Ghanaweb to see what I can do to help in this area (perhaps by paying for the services of the social welfare person?). I am sure other things can be done to help eliminate such behavior (e.g., parents can be held accountable for the childrens' behavior, laws can be promulgated, etc.).

Please mature.
Why people are so heartless to not show compassion to God's miraculous image but speak blasphemies against. To such people, they are hypocrites and laugh at God and think they are doing God's service. May God forgive them.
Our culture and customs need a second look.Albinos are God's children too,folks.God have mercy.
Its true What people have been saying about BA people, now l will believe. Muuuuuuuuuu !!!!!!!.""
Atebubu is a disgrace to BA people. I know an albino who got the best results in BECE results in 1995 or 1996 in jaman district of BA. From Adiokor. A very brilliant boy at the time and one the best in Ghana.
I am not sure why these kids do that, it's more than bullying. I have seen such a case in less than three years when a high schools girl was bullying through the phone by her classmates and kill herself. I would recommend to ...

very bad news but the picture has nothing to do with the story. the person in the story Yusif Fatau is a male and the picture is for a female without name. wondering if the children are teasing her or just having fun together
It is sad that this this kind of thing is going on in Ghana. A young person's future is jeopardized due to such insensitive and discriminatory behavior. I am hoping that the social welfare and the leadership of the community ...

The government should do something about this stigmatization. Albino a human beings. Government should take this matter serious and arrest those who mock the albinos.

In ten years, your excuse of quitting school because of mockery will be very valid....but it still wont save you from the negatives of truncated education.

this is not fair we are all humans he also has blood pass through his vain we have to put a stop to this stigmatisation before it takes over the nation please.
How can we do this to our own people? Black people are facing racist in many countries in the world . I live where the racism is too much so I feel pain in my heart if we treat people like this way.
The Ministry of education must intervene immediately and offer him all the necessary support to enable him continue his education. Other albinos needs to be protected by against this bigotry.
Are we all sitting by to watch this monumental idiocy take roots?
Reaction by stakeholders to the plight of this fellow man is far too slow.
Brong Ahafo student are coward and barbaric shame to the Ghana nation
This story is so shocking that I cannot imagine this sort of ignorant thinking can occur in Ghana! The DOVVSU and Police should get involved immediately and bring the perpetrators of the cruelty against this poor lad to book ...

I'm really shocked why these Benkoto-Bensore, Brode3-Ak3se3 people would discriminate against a fellow human and for that matter a Ghanaian because he is an albino.
God make the females also give birth to such kind .
First time to hear such an incident coming from Ghana. By the way what did the photographer do to help her? Looks like the camera was strategically positioned to capture the unfortunate situation. Shame on all of us.
That was my first thought, one cannot imagine the pain and humiliation being levelled on this poor lad. What an awful awful story to come from Ghana. The recent tragedy has brought enough pain to last our lifetime therefore p ...

Albinos live in other parts of the country without any problems. In an earlier publication the chief of the town asked the parents to remove their ward from the town for his own safety. It is sad indeed that we have such back ...

Allah loves you my bro.this thins all can couse fire in ghana but few knows that.
A state that can’t give protection to its own on ground of gender ,colour,creed,origin,religion,race,tribe or ethnicity is a totally failed state.
This same people will come to Accra and see nothing positive about the Gas.May the good Lord be with us all.
Am very disappointed, government needs to act immediately to save our brother from this primitive behavior of the community
