  All the fingers are not equal. All cannot be academics. Let us use our God given talents. Going back to basics of carpentry, brick laying, black and gold smithing, plumbing, tailoring, and so on

  We live in a country where only those who rattle the english language are considered educated.This kind of mind set must change.In my opinion,education is a tool through which one can make a living.Unfortunate,most political and religious leaders dont believe in this kind of concept.They see themselves as anointed when they preach in english,i am not surprised that Pastor Mensah Otabil always refer to somebody working in the office,the same person also believeS that those working in the offices must be paid well in order for them to pay their wards fee.Use the platform to encourage technical and vocational studies wether formal or informal.YABR3 NE BROFO TENTEN A ENTUMI 3NY3 HWEE!
