What prestige is the Vice-Chancellor boasting of? After gifting the dunce and daft john mahama, 'gye kodidi', pass no class in useless history, huh?

Legon has done Ghanaians wrong by breeding a moron and an imbecile like john mahama, who could only graduate with a 'gye kodidi', pass no class in a discipline as useless as History; learning that Mansa Musa died from mosquito bites.

Legon, put your house in order, and never churn out the likes of imbecilic, corrupt and incompetent philanderers like john mahama. I rest my case.

You are just an illiterate. You dont have university education and not enlightened enough for this kind of analysis so shut up if you have no idea what is being said. I just laugh when uneducated/half educated people pooh pooh research done by reputable bodies. You think this is imani or your local champions-eat your fufu and akrantiebini and concentrate on that instead, this is serious academic stuff, way above your IQ

Legon, govern yourself well, and never again should you give Ghana another john mahama, who was gifted a useless 'gye kodidi, pass no class in History, learning that Mansa Musa died from mosquito bites.

Africa is definitely the lowest in the whole world so being the 7th in Africa is nothing to write home about. What research can go on with all this dumsor?

Asante, it's a shame you can't even get your spellings right after completing the UG with 1st Class, I guess, lol. I will, nevertheless, be generous enough to educate you a bit since you're still proud of your perceived alumni (UG).

1.DON'T SAY: "Lets us" BUT SAY: Let us.
2.DON'T SAY: "Lets compare" BUT SAY: Let's (as in "let us") compare.
3.Preceed your "WITH" with "IT" (to sound "compare it with") to make an intellectual theoretical sense.
Now, you can imagine how many grammatical/factual errors someone else could have corrected in your already approved and graded UG research work, if you're a graduate already. LOL. Ghana's Premier University (GPU) indeed, hahaha. For further deliberations anyone could call me on 0244579432 from next week Friday or the subsequent days, God willing.

All those who are sad about UG ranking are those blockheads who failed to pass their WASSCE and therefore not qualified to enter UG.

The quran mentioned Jesus a number of times more the mohamed. In case u do not know as ur imams why face east and the sun when praying. You guys prefer to explain issues with carnal mind so you prefer worshiping a creature, sun( origin of Islam Exodus) instead of the Creator. Going by your argument of preferring to call Jesus a prophet just to equalize kofi mohamed, He is the Only Being to have said "I'm the way, the truth and the life no one goes to the Father except through me" John 14:2-6 and He died and rose on on the 3rd day which was foretold. All these ur imams know and occults know but are becoming channel to malign and discredit The Savior. After that failed attempt, the Islamist resort to extremism,Jihadism, Bombing,terrorism,decapitation,violence,rebellion etc with Freemsonry resorting to gays,lesbianism,transgender empowerment, impoverishing nations, suppression of the vulnerable to pave way for 666 to project the work of their grand master(Satan and the Vatican) In Christianity eternity and life after death is explicitly stated. His name is above all names ever on earth,ancient of days, I'm that I'm, Savior, Prince of peace. Your religion deceives that after going to stand close to the kabar ur special than other muslims and ur chance to make it to heaven is great thereby resulting in acts like jihadism,terrorism, because afterall adua will be said for them. Repent my brother so u don't end up in where u will be shocked. Kindly get urself the Holy Bible to learn how descendants of Ishmael the son of Abraham and his slave Hagar chose to worship the sun by praying towards it because they feel cursed and rejected by Almighty God thereby making the creature their god instead of the CREATOR.

Truth be told, I am an alumnus of Legon. I graduated 38 years ago, when UG was UG. I have been living outside the country for a long time now. However, from what I know of the changes which befell our educational system from the introduction of JSS and SHS/SSS. standards have considerably fallen from the days of GCE A Levels. The calibre professors worth their salt all voted with their legs to migrate outside for greener pastures when the military khakistocracy pitched in. Ghana's educational system has been floundering like a listing ship ever since the 80s. With second rate professors and second rate students left behind, what quality standards are we talking about? The best brains from Ghana are all in the Diaspora, with some in South Africa, USA, UK, Canada, Australia, you name it. We need to revamp education in Ghana and seek global ranking. Everything depends on having good governance and world-class calibre leaders in Ghana. Right now with this dispensation, I am afraid it is a lost cause.

This is what you get when you allow uneducated vigilantes to decide the educational system and how long university education should take.
