Yes all northerners were born into abject poverty but now you are all millionaires due to your thievery in government. Could you account for how you amass wealth? God will punish all of you who are persecuting others. Ghana is now cheap for ewes and dirty northerners stealing from our hard earned resources.

Stupidity of the highers order. If Northerners were allowed to run Ghana for ten years this country would have been like Dubai. Lack of opportunities make them look inferior in your eyes

Time to cancel the northerners scholarship scheme or make it blanket for all Ghanaians. This scheme which educates northerners for free to any level has made people in the minority now ruling the whole of Ghana. People in the south work hard , farm , mine , etc etc and Ghana takes all that money to educate northerners making them all doctors, lawyers etc while the rest suffer to educate their wards .this is not fair.

It seems that you are not abreast with time. There isn’t anything like northern scholarship in Ghana now. We all now pay school fees please. Check with the school and university

There were many of such kids in the then upper region but many made it. They were humble beginnings. Well done AG.

He has chosen the right profession- politics. By 2028 he would have more money than people who went to class one at the age of four.

Another story of abject poverty from the north. The AG had both parents around a petty trader mum and a dad who was a driver.
I guess the AG enjoyed the northerners scholarship through secondary school and the Uni system of the old.
My father was deceased and my mum had to wash people's dirty clothing to cater for me and my three sisters. Became a shoe shine boy, a pupil teacher, trained teacher, lawyer, academic the rest is history.
What's important now is to use the benevolence of others or the system to eschew arrogance and demonstrate humility.

Do you see how those who are unintelligent hate intelligent ones? With the few incomprehensible English words they can write, and the 2GHC data they can buy, they'll insult. Is it the fault of the AG that you were not bright in school, or that you can't get an umbrella for your telephone repair job?

At least your father was a driver and your mother petty trader and you call that abject poverty?
How about one whose mother was a peasant farmer and father a palmwine tapper?

It is God’s grace and mercy that have brought you this far. You therefore ought to be very grateful, humble and magnanimous towards others. The best you can do for your neighbour is treat him or her the same way you would want to be treated. Don’t destroy anyone’s reputation, especially when you don’t have the facts of a matter or you are not quite certain but the facts against him or her. Reputation is the only genuine currency in this world, not any fiat currency. And that might be all that your neighbour, whose reputation you might be bent on destroying, might have attached to his or her name. Destroying just one reputation, might lead to the destruction of whole countless lives.

An admission that you have had every free as far as your education is concerned. Yet you and your party were determined to deny others the same opportunity to go to school free. Selfishness has no other name.
