So many semi-illiterates roam high places in Ghana. They think like they drive, walk and eat. They control our media, airwaves and social engagements. You can’t fix them, we are doomed ‼️

What she was doing on the NSMQ, she was doing it to students at Legon. She called the Agriculture students as "disappointed medical students" !!!!
Madam rest thee well.

Here is my question. In Ghana, are there blockades hampering girls from going to schools to any appreciable extent? At times, we hear statements like "ladies are now shattering the glass ceiling etc" but since my elementary school days, we were not only boys rather we have girls among us through secondary, commercials schools so, I don't understand the meaning of "women are now shattering the glass ceiling".

1. It's the ratio of boys to girls that they are referring to.
2. And for a very long time, many people in our society held the view that it was a waste of time and money to educate their daughters.

You make a valid point and so many of them were just as brilliant as the boys. I think the glass ceiling analogy is based on women not getting top roles in society after an equally successful academic accomplishment. And in Ghana we’re not any different from many advanced societies. Men take all the lofty top positions. Even when there are better or equally qualified women

Bro this is thought-provoking topic you have brought.
If there is no problem then fictitiously create and set out to solve it you create dislocation in society. Whats happening now is attention is being taken off the boy child. The boy child is now feeling inadequate, timid and intimidated at school. At the work place especially in the public more and more women are taking up the jobs and the men are being passed by so who marries who. The working women are targeting fabulous rich to marry or men leaving abroad otherwise they stay single.
Dr Aggrey says if you educate a man you educate an individual but if you educate a woman, you educate a whole nation. However, in contemporary days, this assertion is nomore relevant. When women are educated and earning money, the look for a higher bidder and whatever they earn is for them and whatever the spouse earns is for all of them. On the other hand an average man will not go out seeking a woman is earning higher than him. He looks out for the woman he can love and share his wealth and sometimes other women will depend on him for sustainance or survival.

In fact I appreciate our women a lot because they are not breaking the glass ceiling in academia alone, there are many other social categories including stripping themselves naked and opening their legs to showcase the traditional Ghanaian 'toto' on social media platforms to the whole world. Congratulations Ghanaian women. Tweeea

This is truly an egregious, sloppy piece of journalism. The lady, as excellent as she was, died more than 10 years ago! There should have been no 'is'. The article should have started "...We remember one of the foremost scientists in Ghana, the first professor in Natural Science and a trailblazer...". The article was written as if she was alive. Ghanaweb should be ashamed of this article, but then, one would be expecting too much of your writers.
