    One can easily be influenced at JHS OR SSS. Afar Gyan completed O'Levl 5yrs, A'Level 2ys before University where he was influed, it means he can be inluenced at any age to steal even elections

  • Yaovi 11 years ago

    And I also think he learnt the pink sheet trick from his stolen tilapia. His experience from convincing the police that 20 tilapia was stolen when in fact it was only one.

    This was the experience he used in reducing the nu ...

  • Balawo President 11 years ago

    We all made friends who smoked even terrible things but majority of us decided against such habits. It goes to explain why Afari-Gyan is easily persuaded to throw election results to the highest bidder.

  • Bewise 11 years ago

    Mr Afari-Gyan, it is your right to do what you please but if you are saying that it is through the pressure of friends, that, you started to smoke. then you are telling us that you are a follower and not a leader. I have a br ...
