Shame unto those parents who allowed their two young lives to embark on this “marriage” journey with little or no idea what it entails.

That marriage proposal was inappropriate. Technically speaking, an SHS grad is about 16-17 years old. For a typical Ghanaian SHS student, they usually are too immature for something serious like marriage. As for the cars, I see nothing wrong here. Ghanaians are sentimental about cars. A car is not just a means of transport but a status symbol. Hence the exaggerated outrage from Manasseh & co. To understand this, consider the joke about Ghanaians: ‘A Ghana man will gladly lend you his wife before he lends you his car’!

If you Fatherman (or any semiliterate individual for that matter sharing the same point of view as yours on Manasseh's comment) do not see anything wrong with the gifting of cars in spite of the intelligent arguments given byManasseh to buttress his point of view, then you have a problem with your brains !!

Sorry Akurugu. Manasseh’s ‘intelligent arguments’ or ‘points’ do not impress me. As usual, they smack of shallow populism that your kind love to lap up.

They have turned 18 and are eligible to attain a ghanaian driving licence and can own a car and drive.U have forgotten that their next destination in less than a year time is Uni and they can own and drive cars there.

There is nothing wrong with the marriage proposal too. If they love each other why not marry. Even if they would still leave with there parents. Is better that fornication.

Criticism of School Heads are welcome for effective school management and improvement. However, Heads for Christ sake, should not be used as punching bags in parental conducts that are condemnable.
Some independent adults conceive a plan to buy a car,fuel it and drive to schools to pick kids who had completed their exams and end up giving the cars as gifts and you blame that on School Heads? Haba!

Manasseh, what at all is this obsession with car gifts. From President Mahama to SHS students. Relax, your time will come and you will receive one, okay!

Display of stolen and ill-gotten wealth is becoming too much in the country. Such wealth is displayed mostly during funerals.

What shame is being addressed to Heads of Institutions????
Think again
There was a family and a student who used to wake up early drop his siblings in their schools and then drive and park in his own school
After classes he would go along and pick his brothers and sisters back to the house and park the car.
He was neither arrogant nor pompous and did very well in his final exams.
The family could not afford the expenses of a driver
Or the extra cost of dropping dropping the children in their various schools and bringing the car home
And then going back after classes to bring the children home

You are comparing apples and mangos: the two situations are not the same.

The boy who drop and picked his siblings to and fro school and then bringing the car to his school was a necessity, not show-off. In fact you gave reasons why he did that.

But the parent who gifted their ward a car on campus was apparently showing off. Otherwise, they would have given the car after the ward got home.

You, Manasseh Azuri, must be guided and live by principles and ideals and the people, mostly apolitical folks, can take you seriously. Journalistic awards are not given for moral values and principles but for presumed coverage of social issues of the day.

You, Manasseh, must have the balls of a brass monkey to comment on the corrupting effects of gifts on society while you conveniently forgot about your political reward from NPP quarters for the lies and hatchet job you did on SADA. To date, your unrepentant folly has made you a wanted person in NPP circles since you thought you could play the NPP against the NDC for political reward.

Your published lies about Mahama era migration of birds to Burkina Faso ushered in another liar Dr. Bawumia into office who has also suffered the same fate that accompanied your SADA manufactured bird migration. Dr. Bawumia no longer profess to be an economist but a digitalization guru in a land where the line between truth and lie had been blurred by you, Manasseh, and the NPP.

Very disgusting showoff of ill-gotten wealth. A genuine gotten money will never be shown this way. So they couldn't have done this at their various homes? And the ill-informed, stomach-thinking, money-hungry, stupid idiotic puppet heads allowed this to happen on their various campuses.
So after stealing our money, this is how these morons have chosen to show good Ghanaians the bluff.
To the extent that even marriage proposals are entertained, come on. Since when have our schools been converted into marriage ceremonial grounds.
How much at all would they have offered school heads which could lower their dignity to this extent.
The Ghana Education Service must suction all such heads who allowed these nauseating activities to take place on school campuses.

Now Manasseh is too quick here to talk.
The headmasters had no idea what is happening ooh.
You can also tell that all the gifts are done as a surprise gesture to the students.
This, being somehow the first of such things, it will now allow the headmasters to
take decisive decisions about it.
The question to Manasseh is how do you know the families giving the gift are involved in ‘an ill-gotten’ wealth?
Please, in today’s Ghana, many people are into genuine legitimate businesses making real money daily.
