Can Northners not help themselves and expect everything for their schools from the government? Can the community not provide furniture for the said schools? Where are the richmen and politicians, MPs from the area. This will not happen in Kwahu region because one rich man will take the reponsibility and provide furniture to the schools for show. My people from the North, we have reached a part in our political and economic journey where GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSEVES. Wake up and help your community

Massa, with all the free education they can't make use of it. By the way I take my hat off, when it comes to Kwahu people. I am not from there but, every time I go to the mountains, I do appreciate their progress.

Can we trust the NPP to govern the nation when they only assembled the alleged irregularities in the places the NDC won and left the areas such the Ashanti and the Eastern they won in the election petition.

Is there no Inspector of Schools? How can this happen in modern day Ghana? This is so inhumane. It is so sad. Yet if we say "Ghana ay3 den", you tell us it is a lie. How can people work and you will not pay them? What is really contained in that better Ghana agenda? President Mahama, we beg you in the name of God, please sit up. Does the Minister of Education know the number of schools under his care? How are things being monitored. Students eating on floors? I am really sad

Transformation in the north has been ongoing since independence and still nothing change, free education, free housing, clothing etc and they always got educated once in high position in government. Still they can not do anything for their own people. Bukenafaso is in the same geographical out look and their are performing well economically. So what are we talking about if they like to live in poverty let them be.

This is really sad for us all. Gold Coast in modern day Ghana. The Gold Coast has a tale of Two Cities. The lucky earlier generation that took full advantage of Nkrumah's Free Education and the poor souls who can't and don't get help from the early riders. We have well educated an powerful Northerners with a lot juice in Ghana who can help BUT will not. Why? They don't want competition. To educate and polish the new breed, they will have to fight to stay in power to suppress them. We get educated to go back to help our unfortunate lot, but in some parts of this Gold Coast, help is not in their vocabulary. They don't even want to go back to develop and would rather stay and live the life in the big cities. God forbid if you ask or transfer them to their own neighborhood to help rebuild and restore dignity. They say and tell you their part of the country is being neglected, but loo, it's their educated bunch who are and have neglected their own development. With all the Presidential, Ministerial and MDs clot they have, such an eyesore should never be happening. I know I'm going to step on toes with this little say but, so be for the truth even though painful, must be told. It's not the government that has to do everything for you. You must begin somewhere for the government to come in and help or continue.

Stop these "suffering Northerners" stories. A northerner is the President of the nation- the second president and number of vice-presidents. A northerner businessman is the only one in the nation to own a private jet. How come northerners still depend on taxpayers to feed their children to get education?

One has to be brave and also have an open mind for one to accept your comment (though it may seem as an insult to some). Although their situation appears quite deplorable compared to other schools in the country, perhaps the curent situation is in fact an improvement over their previous condition. "Rome was not built in a day" as the adage goes. My hope is that the government would place some priority on this particular school and improve it for the students and teachers.

Rome was not built in a day. Even in America there are masons and carpenters there. It means infrastructure development is still ongoing even in developed countries.

Idiot, no excuses. The money paid to Woyome, GYEEDA, SUBAH, E.O. Group and others could have been used for building much needed infrastructure. Mahama and Kufuor are both criminals for not doing so.

The thieving Northern political elites, led by Mahama now and formerly by Aliu of NPP, only care about joining their Southern colleagues in looting the country. They build houses in United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Burkina. They don't care a hoot about their suffering people where they came from. Just them and their families.
Come election time, they will woo the tribespeople again and exploit their votes.

We must reject all corrupt politicians regardless of tribe but especially the uncaring Northern political elites. Aliu did nothing just eating bones from K4's table. Mahama only steals for himself and his brother. Bawumia will do the same. Let's get rid of all of them.
