it all started few years ago when i received a Facebook message that a travel agency in Lagos Nigeria was recruiting Ghanaians and Nigerians for jobs in Canada, i sold everything i had and borrowed money from a lot of people and kept sending them money for the travel to Canada, when i ran out of money to send to them, they invited me to Lagos that my visa is ready, when i got to Lagos they took the remaining money i had on me and took my phone and refused to give me my passport that i posted to them earlier from Ghana, i was left stranded and was sleeping under a bridge with some other homeless people and was begging people during the day for help to go back to Ghana, police raided the place i was squatting after some days and arrested everybody there, they took us to court because hard drugs and guns were found on some prostitutes and thugs squatting there, i was sentenced to 2 years in prison because i had nobody and lawyer to defend me, i will finish serving my sentence in 3 months time and deported to Ghana, my fellow Ghanaians please help me with any amount you can spare so i can eat and treat myself, i have been sick and i have not eaten good food for sometime now, i don't want to die now my freedom date is near, no amount is too small to help me with, i will appreciate any amount sent to me and God will bless and reward the sender abundantly, i can work for the sender when i return to Ghana in 3 months time to pay back, we manage to use smuggled phones here to beg people through Facebook and other social media platforms, this is how most prisoners here survive because we are very desperate, the situation here is so terrible, horrible and pathetic, infact we are in hellfire here, people die everyday here from starvation and minor illnesses like malaria and ulcer, please i need help urgently, i need to eat good food and buy malaria drugs to treat myself, the food they give us here is small portions of watery beans and jollof rice that can't satisfy a child, when an inmate is sick here and doesn't have money to buy medication, the prison warders will ignore you until you die or recover without taken medication, they may only give you paracetamol and antibiotics if you cry too much, but if you have money, the prison warders can buy for you good food and medicines from outside, i can be reached on WhatsApp via +2348140725576, this is my cellmate's number, some warders smuggle in phone for people here if you bribe them, i don't have a phone, when you chat, tell her you want to chat with Sandra so she can give the phone to me, please help make my story go viral so i can get help by posting my story and my cellmate's WhatsApp number: +2348140725576 on Facebook and WhatsApp groups, please i need help, i'm suffering a lot here.

Congratulations Prof, your story is very inspiring, it tells us that, no matter your rough beginning, what ever the Lord has deposited in you, if you have faith in him he will guide you to fulfill his purpose. It is my prayer the Lord will grant you heavenly wisdom to come out with great ideas to help your school and the nation as well.

Congratulations, mate, may God guide you steps throughout your tenure. You indeed came from humble beginning, from selling toilet papers at Bantama to looking for you Dad who is a lotto focaster at Tamale. Thank God Christ had found you and taken you out of those situations. Thank you for your support during our time at UMaT from 2000-2004.

Congratulations !! bravo to Prof B KUMI-Boateng-----Prof please do me a favor ----and get Dr BAWUMIA the NPP Flagbearer for 2028 to seriously send a voice to Speaker BABGIN and his Parliament to enact a LAW THAT will BAN all artisanal small scale mining in the country for a foreseeable period say some five years a least -to allow the devastated agricultural land ,forest reserves and water bodies back to LIFE by a serious Tree planting exercise---then to follow the 'BAWUMIA PLAN ' of mapping out all the GOLD DEPOSIT areas that will be made available for use by the various COMMUNITY MINING GROUP who will then use our trained -U-MA-T graduates in the business of gold extraction===[environmental friendly technique of gold winning ]--This will definitely prevent the indiscriminate search [digging] for gold with its attenuated destruction of the very land [ground] that we dwell upon --[farmland ,living -quarters , playgrounds and even market locations.
Prof believe me this must be done to save us all from the GALAMSAY MENACE which is presently killing us all softly and slowly. It is important you communicate this to the NPP FLAGBEARER .
