    that church is full of criminals, drug dealers,theives, jealous, greedy,wicked and evil people. no wonder majority of members are from bush part of ghana

  • Mckoy 10 years ago

    Some of u guys are extremely stupid to erroneously, blindly and harshly judge this issue by condemning the school. Their statement meant that only them not the entire school.

    And so, if you are in the students shoe, you would not be saying what u are saying. It pains.

  • Sethoo 10 years ago

    The question we shd ask is do these students have the requisite qualifications to pursue this programme?Most of these private universities are involved in this practice,as for National Accre.Board forget them.
