    WHO IN HIS RIGHT SENSE DOESN'T KNOW THAT THE FREE SHS IS IN A VERY STUPID STATE AND A MISPLACED PRIORITY

    It is only an insane asante ape like napo that would compare a useless ugly wee smoking ape dwarf to the best man that ever walked on the surface of the African soil. Sometimes these fools think all Ghanaians are as stupid as ...

    The platform slogan, shamefully shambolic and politically motivated FREE SHS nonsense, which is FREE OF KNOWLEDGE ANYWAY, without a blueprint has no place on today's world. That is the wisdom behind John Dramani Mahama, the n ...

    The same Mahama started progressive free SHS in 2015, starting with day students. The same Mahama has said over and over that he will NOT cancel free SHS when he returns to political power in January 2025 by the grace of God. ...

    It is a conditional sentence. There is an "if-clause" in the sentence. Mahama wrote simple English but some stupid journalist and NPP foot soldier has taken it town. You probably will benefit from being schooled in a free SHS ...

    IT TAKES AN IDIOT AND A VERY FOOLISH MINDSET TO TRUST MAHAMA.

  • Dogo 2 years ago

    Indeed, it is a misplaced priority. No one is condemning the necessity of a free educational system in Ghana, but it is problem if a political party rushes to implement it in haphazard manner just to score political point. Th ...

    FOOLS abound in Ghana and by extension Ghanaweb. Does that tweet negate the fact that he launched and started the free SHS?
    Foolishness is too much in Ghana.

  • IF HE WAS AGAINST IT... 2 years ago

    He couldn't have launched it ok! By the way, did you know that Mahama's father was sacked by Nkrumah for corruption related offences? Like father like son!!

    But he, truly, launched and started progressively free education in 2016 which was piloting of free education. Useless people who know the truth but decide to play the fool.

    He can only pretend to be implementing it but in actual fact he is good at cancelling allowances of students.

    The only people who have no conscience will come and defend Mahama. Those who have eyes will simply say Free SHS is a good policy and a well thought priority.

    Mahama makes sense, As at the time, Primary and JHS was not free and it is reasonable to make Primary and JHS free, first. And then putting up the infrastructure to roll out free SHS
