Mahama is very disapointing. I wonder if he knows how we are struggling to pay the fees for our children. He is doing everything posible to destroy the future of our children. My children just called to inform me that, Mahama has withdrawn subsidies on the fees and that, they have been told to pay upfront of 2000 Ghana cedis,whiles they work on the rest. As if that is not enough for him, He is encouraging University authorities to construct a boot, from where, they will still exploit our children. What is interesting here is that, they have changed the name from toll collecting booth to security post. What at all is wrong with Mahaha? Is this man a curse on Ghana or what!

The talking is too much now. We are tired. If you want to fight with your father in his own house, make sure you have packed your things. Let the axe fall and bring peace and closure to this saga. Enough is enough!

You Ghanaians are entirely submerged in the culture of entitlements. You are entitled to this, entitled to that, left, right, up and down. Take some RESPONSIBILITY for yourselves !

There's no difference between Mahama and your kids. University of Ghana is not paying 2000 upfront - its a lie. I pity you.

If you care to know, Mahama is not there to solve just your family problems. Do you not think that the nation's interest is well and truly above yours?

This is because you see Mahama even in your dreams. What has the president go to do with this? Your noise and complaints are irritating enough for me to keep you out of power. The next election - I will vote to keep NPP out of power. In the last elections, I voted to keep NDC in power, this time around it is teach NPP a lesson. If you cannot allow our elected to rule then you cannot be allowed to rule. We must make politicians know that lies, idle talks and politicking off season, making their opponents look bad instead of telling us what they can do better will not help

Are you sure you are a parent? Your children called you from which school that they have been informed to pay 2000 upfront? And are you in Ghana or residing abroad? You could easily check on the truth of what your children tell you whether you are in Ghana or abroad. Universities/poply are about wrapping up for the academic year and so who is asking for payment at this time? Are u very sure of what you just posted?

MAY BE I HAVE NOT BEEN READING ON WHAT GOES ON IN OTHER UNIVERSITIES AROUND THE GLOBE, BUT LET ME ASSURE YOU THAT I HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR SOMETIME. IT APPEARS UNIVERSITY OF GHANA IS A TROUBLED INSTITUTION. IT INVOLVES ITSELF WITH AUTHORITIES THAN I COULD SEE FROM OTHERC INSTITUTIONS. IS THIS UNIVERSITY THERE FOR LEARNING OR FOR POLITICS. HOW DOES THIS UNIVERSITY FARE OR COMPARE AMONG THEIR PEERS AROUND THE WORLD OR AFRICA FOR THAT MATTER. IS IT LEARNING OR AGITATION WITH AUTHORITIES?

I have never seen a more confused president. Sacking Gbevlo-Lartey simply gave the wrong signal to UG authorities who had mobilised a petition against Lartey.
There was actual celeration among the big guns of Legon who claimed he was sacked because of their petition.

No wonder they are rebuilding the structures.

Meanwhile, come Election 2016, I really hope Mahama finds some other person to mobilse votes for him in Likpe. Gbevlo-Lartey always did the dirty job for him but this time round, it will be DIFFERENT.

At least there is some decency in communication From WK ABOAH security outfit to Legon unlike the BUGABUGA Gbevlo Lartey. The Legon matter is trickish. The main gate is going to be the overhead after its completion. Legon shoul do proper studies before citing the securty gate for tolls.

And who said Aboah is now doing Gbevlo's work? Clearly you simply hate hate the man or fear him but we don't care. Give Ghana 5 of such persons and we'll be some where. Gbevlo has been our commander we know him and we love him.What he did was right. If you hate soldiers just say so. Idiot.

Quite rightly, there must be some regulation here to advise Legon on what IS BEST FOR ALL and there should not be any political interference either. I gues that the Vice Chancellor will soon have to go if he does not know the extent of his remit. Yes, there should be a barrier but some directive/agreement will need to be reached between Legon, family reps and the government. It can NEVER be one way.

In the late 1960s long before I entered university (not UGL), a senior friend of mine who was a student of UGL often told me that the university was like a state within a state. He would tell me that the campus had a bank (GCB), supermarket (GNTC), bookshop and a police station, among other facilities.
He would tell me that even if a student committed a crime in town but was able to run to the campus, not even the police could apprehend him without the express permission of the VC. I believe that mentality still holds sway among the university authorities, however erroneous that notion it may be.

So the National Security Outfit is still trying to be bogged down by the Legon issue to the detriment of more pressing security issues in the country - we know of the threat of Boko Haram activities, and the cocoa smuggling to Ivory Coast which should concern National Security more than Legon's Toll Boot saga.
I would say the NatSec agency are doing so out of disgrace, and to try ti justify the unjustifiable acts of Gbevlo Lartey! NatSec should not concern themselves with planning permits and road works. If they should, what advice have they given the government concerning the sanitation situation in Accra? That should be a greater threat to national security than Legon's roads.

Currently, there is a container structure serving as a security post at the Okponglo entry. If you ask me, I will say it is unsightly. If UG is building a more permanent structure, that should not be a problem. The new security post is further up and will rather reduce traffic build-up than the present one.
Again the new structure under construction is on both sides which means, the practice of taxis crossing lanes to go through security procedures as is the case presently will stop and make driving safer at that point.
If it is about lack of building permit as the govt is saying, then I hope the UG authorities will have to secure one.
