That's the reality on the ground. One day, people will tell the real story of this political education.

Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine. For instance 10 paracetamol at once......or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.

Wow, what a logic. This only means if not for free secondary education, there is no way u could have been in school at all and u would have been forced into marriage way earlier. Considering the fact that just some few months at home caused ur parents to force u into marriage. Think about this, even when u have run from home u still had the opportunity to go to school. What if u were going to pay school fees? Thank the implementers of free secondary school who thought of people like u. Indeed warp thinking makes good politicians ignore good thinking for the poor because of ingratitude.

Thank you! Even when they don't have to pay for your education they're trying to marry you off! Clearly this girl has wasted the opportunity free education gave her cos there's simply no evidence of it in her logic. She would have been married of years earlier if SHS wasn't free. Plus, where does she think the sense to formulate an escape plan came from if not from the education she was receiving? It's not all roses and the government truly has failed on many many fronts, but let's be sensible and stop these puerile games of comparison of mediocrity between governments and deceiving the populace by apportion ING blame to what is not the issue! Is Free SHS a noble initiative; Whollly! Was it implemented and executed well; Absolutely not! Did we need to start from somewhere with what we had?? You bet we did, because the expected paradigm and mindset shifts are lacking severally. A very poor nation in thinking abilities this Ghana is indeed!

Akufo Addo has failed Ghana by encouraging galamsey. He cleared the big fish and from time to time he would go after small flies to pretend he was doing something. Meanwhile, the menace is getting worse. Def"Avian ormed children are being born and our waters are dying. Of course, he drinks imported water from France.

You getting married at an early age ,is not becouse of the double truck system ,is your useless custom that they think marrying you people off,is better than schooling ,so don't attribute to any double truck system.

Are Pepe people the only people who went through the double track system? Other people went through that system and are on track of being responsible people. With characters like Hassan Ayariga wasting money to campaign for the presidency, what will happen to his people? Fighting of course. Just find out there are more than 10 Pepe people who want to be president. However, their people live like slaves in their own Region. Let everybody know that itI is not the double track system that make girls get married early. It is rather because of some stupid custom and traditions. Nonsense
