    Prosper, I enjoyed your well written piece. Deception is the hallmark of this government and nothing surprises me anymore. Mahama is a snake oil sales man . He and his posse of looters have to go.

    I am surprised that Prosper has taken this issue so personal. People don't die if they don't go to school, they live to vote for NDC and sometimes too people who have been to school also do for sheer pride. Now you Anlo Youth ...
