The saddest fact is that our politicians will always sponsor their FRIENDS AND FAMILIES to do such University Programs that are excellently offered in Ghanaian universities.
How can you sponsor ONE STUDENT (accompanied by 6 or more “family “ members) to go and study MBA, LAW, POLITICS, etc…in abroad ???

If these allegations are true, the NPP government must take responsibility. This is more than waste—it is a betrayal of public trust. In a developing country, every cedi lost to corruption is a school without books, a hospital without medicine, or a young person denied an opportunity. Public money must serve the people, not the privileged few. Leadership demands accountability, not entitlement. NPP, when is the next demonstration?

it all started few years ago when i received a facebook message that a travel agency in Nigeria was recruiting Ghanaians & Nigerians for jobs in Canada, i sold everything i had and borrowed money from a lot of people and kept sending money to them 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.

Wickedness beyond belief. Sometimes when I think of the abuse of our desperate and almost HIPC country, I feel like crying, and still these evil people who commit these crimes call the ordinary citizens, LAZY and COCONUT-HEADED nonentities .
Sad indeed !

Even though most Ghanaians have by now understood that the NPP govt that strangled the people of Ghana with poverty for 8 bloody years are a bunch of dishonest, incompetent and pathological thieves, I still find it very difficult to believe what the High Commissioner is revealing to us. How could any Godly person do this to his own country? Or, could it be that these scholarship privileges are backed by law? If not, whoever is responsible, must be caned in public to serve as shock therapy as well as a deterrent to future administrators. What nonsense!!

There are students who have completed their courses who are owed by the Schplarship Secretariat. This is a scandal.

Very said, and others Ghanaian are in the village struggling to pay their school fees and using old time light to study. What a poverty gab. The rich are becoming richer and poor are becoming poorer.
