No wonder. These illiterate ashantes vote on tribal lines because of insecurity. They don't trust any other leader, so u wonder why they made bawuliar their flag bearer. Its baffling for ashantes to vouche for a pepeni, something is fishy! I think they want to use him, chop and rub it on his beard! These ashantes are crooks, look at how they cobfused akuffo, chopped and made him to turn up to be the the most useless leader this country ever had. Akuffo is not even fit to clean the size 10 boot of Kutu Acheampong!

My brother, yiu are right! For an ashant to make a tani a leader is beyond comprehension. Look at how they perversively made bawumia the head of the economic management team, but refused to respect his view. I know bawumia is empty,but at least they should have invited him to their meetings as an observer. They want him to be a pretend president, and they chop behind him. Never trust these ashantes! They are dangerous!

You see the dross he he putting together as a team for his manesfesto? Old and spent out ashante crooks who have stollen and misused their monies now parading as respectable state men simply because they criticised akuffo sddo. How stupid is bawumia?

Idiot, fear what you just wrote and see how stupid and hypocritical you are! Who should invite Dr Bawumia to ECT meetings if he is the Chairman? The Chairman determines the meeting agenda and decides who to attend his meetings, dummy. So you see that all your rants about Ashantes are 'much ado about nothing'. It purely envy and hatred.

Do you know people who vote on tribal lines in Ghana? Go to the former Volta region and see how much and often they voted for Jeremiah John Rawlings because he was partly Anlo Ewe.
When Kutu Acheampong wanted to entrench himself in Office by coming up with UNIGOV, he was an Asante whose hometown was just about 14 miles from each other through KOKOTEASUA, yet Afrifa organized Ghanaians to vote against UNIGOV.
Of all ethnic groups in Ghana, the Asante people are the least tribal. Go to Kumasi and they have Fante New Town inhabited by Fante people and their descendants. They have Anlo Town where there are many Anlo Ewes there. They have Moshie Akron.Do we have any Asante town in any of the ethnic groups in Ghana? The Asante people marry people from different ethnic groups without any problem. Go to Ashanti region and see how many Ewes, Gas and members of other ethnic groups that are married to Asante people and living there happily. Don’t say what you don’t know. Asantes allow Ewes, Ga people, and people from the North to even marry into their royal homes. Does this happen in Anlo Ewe towns and villages? Try to be truthful and don’t post what you don’t know.

Thanks for your comments. Ashantis are the least tribalistic people in Ghana. Ashantis are the ones who voted most against the Acheampong Unigov.

You're an idiot. Compare sub-tribe with the Voltarians and not other tribes. We were here when the Fantes were voting for Kuffuour against Atta Mills although he's one of them. The only group of people that is matured enough and tolerate all and sundry remains the Fantes. Besides, Ashanti isn't a tribe but sub-tribe. Stop speaking on issues of tribalism cos the fact that most Ashantis will vote for the Elephant even if it has goat as its candidate indicate that they're not different from the Ewes. These stuffs are normal though cos even in the states, there are swing states, red states, and blue states. Get your facts right, only Central and Western region which is Fante-dominant as well as Accra which is Ga-dominant possess swinging traits. The rest are engage in tribal census. Why are we discussing this saf?

John Dramani Mahama, posterity is already judging you ooooo....... Come for your stone. Progressive FREE SHS, targeting the needy like you started is the way to go. How can government spend a little over ¢1,000 per annum on each student, whilst the parent spends over ¢4,000, on the same student on average and then government turns round to tell me it's running a FREE SHS BULLSHIT which is FREE OF KNOWLEDGE ANYWAY and which is destroying our education? Cheap ass populist decisions is killing this country.

This is what is called an abstract in research, it is not even an executive summary so you cannot expect the detailed report. You should find the report and read it.

Don’t say what you don’t know. Despite is not a School Drop Out . He completed Middle School Form Four at Wiamoase when Mr. Aidoo was the Headteacher there. There was no Secondary School at Agona Kwabre District then. He attended SDA Primary school at Wiamoase where my father was the Headteacher. I very much personally know him. His brothers were my friends and I still remember his family house where he lived.

This is a lie... This so called think tank sit in their bedrooms with their laptops writing rubbish to make it report... Under fshs schools has increased in numbers period.. The evidence is clear in the schools for everyone to see. Think tank stop all this nonsense. Even in the advanced countries not everyone is in the class room. Some may go straight to vocation or apprenticeship after grade 9 or 10. Not everyone fancy sitting in the classroom reading and writing. Some want vocational skills. Grow up. You are think tanking too much.

I don't know why people are so against free shs. Why are they not against the free education in the North since Nkrumah's time? The northern free education has never been reviewed yet no one is complaining. If people want free shs to be scrapped, the northern free education shd also be scrapped. They are all along the same lines. Is this not hypocrisy at the highest point. People are only against it bcos Akufo Addo has implemented it as he said. If it is scrapped, we will fight for the northern one to be scrapped too. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander. Nsem funu kwa

Apart from the initial ( one time event expenses) that is when you are giving the prospectus I admit that parents will spend averagely GHC 4,000 but afterwards you need not to spend more than GHC 4,000 on provisions.
Sometimes, think tank should be candy with their findings. If over 194,862 were not able to take their admission offers under Free SHS then if we abolished it then what will happen

Look nana addo thought childish about this free SHS program. This program is good and the solution to make this sustainable program is not about who has the money must pay or the rich must pay. The solution is simple and ghanaian politicians being silly won't get any answer from me. Because they had use me for dirty job under ppp program without pay.
