Those were the good, old days when teachers were highly educated and passionate with their jobs. Teachers were highly respected and given the highest recognition in the society. These days, teachers of English do not even know how to speak the language correctly and properly. They themselves have been poorly educated. No wonder the children these days are unable to put good sentences together, and speak terrible English. Most of our MPs cannot express themselves in simple English language. The percentage of our SHS students who fail English in their final examinations is nothing to write home about. Absolutely disastrous and shameful.

it all started few years ago when i received a facebook message that a travel agency in 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 Nigeria that my visa is ready, when i got to Nigeria they took the remaining money i had on me and seized my phone and refused to give me my passport that i posted to them earlier from Ghana, i was left stranded and resorted to sleeping under a bridge with some 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 were found on some prostitutes and thugs squatting there, i was sentenced to 2 years in prison because i had no lawyer to defend me, i will finish serving my sentence in 3 months time and sent back to Ghana, my fellow Ghanaians please i need help of any amount of money 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 of money is too small to help me with, i will appreciate any amount of money 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.

You have disgraced me. Is this the best of you? We are equally poor when it comes to the Queen's language. Look at what you have written.

It's very sad and big disgraced that this homosexuals criminals vampires Europeans had disturbing my great grandparents, they took everything away from them, they took our knowledge, time, culture, history, crafts, strong men and women, wise men and women, young and old, gold, diamonds, bronze, sliver, cooper, cocoa and many i can't mention. I can't sleep about all this evils this Europeans has done to my people, and all my bones and blood get warm anytime i read something like this. And they're still doing it. Time will cool me.

Very interesting. I wish the video is long. These are people we honour. Selfless.
Thank you for sharing. Those with conscience build the country with love for fellow humanity.
Those without conscience in our days destroying the country because of selfishness and stupidity- galamsey.
So sad with leadership just destroying the country with greediness as if they have 10 stomachs and two heads.

Accent of the teacher in the 1954 video is far better than most teachers we deploy nationwide in todays era. Some cant even read like this 1954 teacher is reading the simple queens english language.
