    The problem with the North is the unnecessary conflicts and violence which makes many people including northners not willing to work there. Many people from the Morth who complete training colleges and UCC decide to settle at ...

    We make a mockery of ourselves. What have we got to show for all these years of dependency syndrome? Free education, free uniform did not inspire us to learn, what else would?

    The rest of us can no longer be taken for granted on this. The North can no longer sustain this argument. The children in other parts of Ghana face the same neglect. At present, our country is being led by the North. True or ...

    If they don't want to go to school, they can continue to raise the cows for the south. After all, education is not for everybody.

    I thank Alhaji Muniru for his orientation visits. This will certainly ensure collaboration in the dev't of the region. The rest of the masses must do their part by not over-reacting to every little situation with violence.
