Oh Africa....
A very Foolish opportunist , better tell your John Dramani Mahama to improve the hygienic conditions in all our public school first.
How long at all does the African hair grow for all these noises coming from people in authority? Our hairs are bushy, (Afro) not long. It's our natural heritage and must be left alone to either be grown or be cut by the owner ...

Heth!!!
Tell me you're just joking!
Our kids cannot even get water to clean themselves during their menstrual periods yet you want to add to their problems. A Silly suggestion from a very disgraceful Nana Yaa Jantuah with no shame.
Exactly. Thinking about the kids from poor homes who would face mockery because their parents couldn't pay for their stylish hair do, and the impact that would have on their studies.
Ypur leaders can't even make sure kids have water to bathe and you think they have the brain capacity to tell kids how long to keep their hair? Clearly, these kids are much smarter than their leaders they already have ways t ...

Stupid suggestion
Ignore this disgraceful Ashanti harlot. She has never done any hard work b4 in her life. She relies on boyfriends for political post, how can she give a sensible suggestion.
But cutting of hair is also an avenue for employment for BARBERS?
Exactly!
It will actually offer some of the girls vocational experience. After school they can decide. What is the TVET all about. We have such an opportunity to consider they are talking book books book. GES rethink
Gh leaders have mental disease they can't se past galamsay and corruption
cutting the hair too will create work for people..
This class one suggestion.call her self presidential staffer
OMG!
This woman has she have head so she is presidential staffer ooh Ghana any idiot because of cheap politics
Please, madam, these are bad jobs. This should not be tolerated. Male barbers will get more jobs.
God bless you Ma'am
Must you speak if you have nothing to say ? Nonfa soooor.
Students are not paying fees but they can get funds for their hairs. Why are we so foolish in this country like this?
Tell that cocoa farmer to go build her own schoolTo those on social media day and night
Please send your child to private schools
Amen
Jobs that add no value? We can equally say littering our streets with garbage too creates jobs. Woyi nso so y3 presidential staffer. Akɔm kɔ ampa.
Nana Yaa, I disagree with your suggestion. The time to study should not be wasted in saloons in schools for both female and male students. It will also attract the male teachers to disturb the female studies.
Because of politics people have lost their manners
Mahama always surrounds himself with fools
Awww Nana Yaa Jantuah, must you support every stupid proposal. Your stomach is now dictating your reasoning.
It's not only her stomach oo. Look further.
There is no sense in what you are saying
madam they went there to show hair styling or to learn? jantuah dont advocate prostuition there.Are parents going to pat for that or govt?
Waaaa Look
What are you saying Nana Yaa? It's about boys keeping long hair like rasta. Young girls should keep their hair low so they will have time to concentrate on their studies not their hair. Those days only Sixth formers braided t ...

This one too is at the office of the prez. No wonder, you’re still bearing your father's name, Jantuah.
See this one too—Gyimie at the highest level.
Menopause affects different women so differently. Schools are not places for beauty contests, Madam Yas Dwanetoa( Jantuah).
Why then do we have uniforms?
If you allowed students to wear anything then there will be distractions and indicipline
Think about the health wise of being in school with bushy hair
The woman has nothing doing at the Jubilee House. She gets to her office, enjoy breakfast, lunch, watch some cartoons on her computer, and when is 5:00pm time to go home. Wei!
See her too what kind of nonsense is that, creating what kind of jobs
This one de3 I agree with you nana. They can close schools on Friday early so they can inter do their braiding only braiding by weekly
So when they finish the school they know how to do braiding just like Sierra Leone and Liberia and order Africa countries.
Foolish woman, who is going to pay for that? Putting unnecessary pressure on parents who cannot afford to maintain their children's hairstyles. Putting pressure on girls whose parents cannot afford to let them keep hairstyles ...

please FIRE this IDIOT
Even those girls at Tertiary level dey ask for money before they could do their her.You want trouble.
Funny men are talking about girl's hair.
Then let's allow them to do make ups too for more jobs too. Concentration to learn the complex syllabus for their future or hairstyles?
To it's okay to keep your natural hair. Cutting or not cutting has nothing to do with discipline.
We should look at the kids of the slave masters who put this on us because they disrespected our look.
WHAT A SCOUNDREL. THIS WOMAN IS VERY DIABOLICAL AND DISAPPOINTING INDEED. HOW PATHETIC CAN YOU YOU BE TO SUGGEST YOUNG GIRLS DOING THEIR HAIR WILL CREATE JOBS? CHEAP!!
Will cutting their hair also not create jobs for barbers. Barbering shops can also be set up near schools to create jobs? Dumb!!!
Why worry about doing hair ? When you are a students your hands are full with academics.
Students should not be weighed down with long hours to have thier hair done. Braiding takes hours to do.
Hahahaha. It can be even better part of the 24 hour economy. Hahahaha. These are the people leading us. Hahahaha
Keeping this woman at the presidency is like a square peg in a round hole. A complete waste of taxpayers money.
Seriously. You mean exploit parents and have children do their hair in the name of creating jobs? I don’t expect a woman to make that comment. Our children are sent to school to learn not to create jobs. Not all parents in ...

so this is coming from a presidential staffer
We were all in the boarding house and you could see the hustle and tussle we go through each day. When will you get the opportunity to go do your hair and in whose comfort. I will not back long hair for SHS.
A grown up woman spewing nonsense and exhibiting her ignorance and stupidity. When most of them can’t even afford to buy pads for their menses and you think braiding their hair should be allowed? Nonsense. They should be al ...

WHY SHOULD THE WHITE GIRLS IN THE WEST, AMERIA, EUROPE KEEP LOMG HAIRS AND NOT AFRICAN ( GHANA SCHOOL GIRLS )? ARE WE ALRIGHT AS A NATION? TWEAAA!!! WHO SAID TWEAAA?? I DID BECAUSE THIS PEPENI MINISTER IS A JOKE!
This woman is so silly and stupid.
Every comment from this woman is so STUPID!
Any wonder we are underdeveloped? No serious country will debate on student hairs! Is setting up saloons at secondary schools part of the 24hr economy? Both Yaa Jantuah and Haruna don't deserve their positions.
Hehehe...smh! We need to be serious
This is nonfa.
What a fucking idiot
Not particularly for the job creation bit cos barbers will also claim they should also benefit. Keeping their hair doesnt necessarily make a student indisciplined. There are people with nicely cut hair with horrible character
Why country called Ghana is producing more fools and evil people?
And she does what at the presidency? How can we develop Ghana with these senseless people at the presidency?
LOL.ONLY IN GHANA DOES A FEMALE STUDENT HAIR LOOK LIKE THAT OF A MALE. SO SILLY! BRING BACK PLAITING OF HAIR FOR THE GIRLS.
She is talking rubbish
You see before you talk on such serious issues you need to research and understand the dynamics of the socio-economic issues in Ghana
As a daughter of an Nkrumaist you shouldn't be talking this loosely.
What brought about f ...

Silly. For who to pay? Your father?
Nana, you are amazing and funny as well. If the priority of a student is to keep long hair at that tender age, then they should be in the house and keep those long hair. Why are our bankers not keeping raster hair to work ? T ...
