Was this daft Stephenson in the country in 2012 when Nana Addo said the source of the free SHS would be the share of money Ghana gets from oil? IMANI executives who we're told were on NDC payroll is increasingly becoming irrelevant. How do you succeed in such a venture if you don't face challenges?

George or whatever your name is you are a typical fool trust me,do you know how much your NDC criminals received from the oil after 8 years of wasting resources?Do you idiots know how many students on Cocoa scholarships, and in Ghana every Cocoa farmer is entitled for scholarship but fools like you enjoy it on the farmers expenses? Leadership is wisdom and knowledge plus vision but NDC fools sympathizers don't get it

IMANI is composed of a bunch of theorists whose policy proposals are weak and unimpressive. What the members are good at are baseless criticisms.

HIGHER ENROLLMENT==> MORE INFRASTRUCTURES (??)

HIGHER ENROLLMENT==> MORE QUALITY TEACHERS (??)

HIGHER ENROLLMENT==> DEMAND > SUPPLY= QUALITY OF SHS WILL FALL

FALL IN QUALITY OF SHS==> THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD WILL SEND THEIR WARDS TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS

AND BECAUSE DEMAND WILL BE HIGH, THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS WILL CHARGE HIGHER FEES TO ENRICH THEMSELVES.

I am not surprised with this comment from Imani. In days to come more skepticism are going to come out because more people of the black race think in negative mode all the time. Most blacks don't have the WE CAN DO SPIRIT. As a result we are the least developed race in the world. This negative attitude cuts across all spheres of our race from highly educated to least educated and the illiterates. This poor attitude has cost us from developing no matter where the black race is found. We need to think WE NEED TO THINK WE CAN DO IT and it shall be done. The Scriptures say where there is no vision the people perish and you're what you think.China 50-40 years ago was not counted economicaly but with can do spirit China is counted among the powers that be. Prez Akufo Addo has this can do spirit and therefore must be supported to bring about the change the black race is yearning for.
We shall succeed, if we only focused on our vision.
GHANA & the black race shall overcome.

My friend,read this carefully. The NPP convinced Ghanaians that the country was doomed, the economy had collapsed, there were no jobs, utility bills too high, fuel cost too high, etc etc. Less than 3 months later, the same people are telling you they will make SHS FREE for all, they will reduce utility and fuel bills, they will turn our zongos into Mecca, build factories in every district, build dams in every village..etc etc and YOU believe it !. You are just the kind of people the NPP rely on to win power- you are GULLIBLE and naïve. How sad !!!!

Thank you for pointing out how we are our own enemies for failure. It's like a black anthem and it has rooted in our system. This free school is indeed a great approach to a better future for the country. Whether this was part of a campaign gain or not he is starting something big that will someday be a benefit to us all. Like our brother/sister has said where there is no vision the people perish, from the bible. It's imperative that we start believing in investing in education for a better Ghana. With a great education, we will not Fail. Education has been the key for westerners success......

Please go back and get your figures right. The kuffor government vritualy collapsed the railway, they collapsed the Ghana airways, collapsed STC. Mahama is constructing new railway in western region, rehabilitated the kumasi Airport into international Airport, revived STC and put the nation back on track. NPP don't come any close to NDC in terms of competence and good governance. The NPP couldn't give residents of Accra basic necessities of life like water. We will regret for this CHANGE

Some of you are empty headed. The country in financial crisis because of the so many leakages in the system. If John Mahama can write off $40 million of a Bank's liabilities so the brother can walk away with same amount, If Woyome can walk away with Ghc51 million for no work done, if projects can be inflated 10 times their costs so individuals can pocket the difference, and of course if the NDC can build a $20 million office, who says Ghana can not feed its children in High School?

U are left with 15 dollars to pay investors n 10% to government... which is just 1.5 dollars per barrel... Nana are u going to perform magic? the Mahama administration enjoyed 15 dollars per barrel for only 6 months when the price of crude oil from to 60 dollars n to the lowest ever recorded in world's history of 25 dollars per barrel.... this means the six months the enjoined came to zero in just two months in 2015......
