No wonder,they had failed their JSS miserably. How can you be proud of this horrible answer? The headteacher was also proud of him? The MCE was shocked because simple question like this could not be correctly answered by a school of high recognition of its type.Shocked because teachers teach them the wrong things always.

Their kids grow up like sheeps and become stupid, foolish, dumb and school drop outs. These kids end up shinning shoes and using their parents for sikaduro. Nah who cause am? It was the same when Nkrumah was President. They told their kids J.B. Danquah was the President of Ghana and declared Nkrumah "persona non-grata" in Kumasi.

These guys have instilled hatred, jealousy and deadly malice against their opponents who beat them in contests. Grow up Ashanti people. GROW UP.

During the run up to 2012 elections NPP paraded innocent little school pupils and brain washed them to sing for Nana which all human right watch kicked against. The desperation of "All die be die" organization is so high that they will try everything for the Old Man Nana to be called a president for once. They are brain washing the kids, and if this child answers a question like this in an examination that child will be a failed student already. I just pity the kids family.

1. NPP never accept criticism.
2. NPP will NEVER accept defeat and find out why things go wrong so thereby the need for correction.
3. NPP always label their own as NDC when they are being criticised even when deep down they know the truth eg (Alan K, Tarzan, Nyaho Tamakloe etc). Very Soon they will label ex president Kuffour as NDC member.
4. Sir John has caused more damage to the Party with his unintelligent utterances.
5. NPP claim they believe in rule of Law and democracy yet they prefer to solve their problems with Machomen and cutlasses.
6. Nana Addo has been rejected in the 2008 election with free SHS like free SHS will solve Ghana's problem.
7. Too many people loyal to Nana Addo so if anyone try to oppose him they see him as a threat.
8. Nana Addo has never condemned the attackson its own party HQ and it is believed by Arthur K. as the one being the one who orchestrated that.
9. Nana Addo lacks the magic wand to change Ghana's economy because we never hear him give solutions to our ailing economy but rather how he want to lead NPP and how he is not coming into politics to make money. We heard these statements wey back in the year 2000.
10. NPP will never accept anything that does not go in their favor.

The journalist from FOX has described himself and his key report as a fox report, a real cannibalistic report of course.If it were final exams, the pupil would have been part of the failures. Its two things either they are not taught or they respond from what he/they hear form ignorant people like the journalist himself. The message carried by people tells you what they are. Which of the Bekwai is the Journalist referring to? Or he has forgotten that that Ghanaweb is a countrywide and world wide? Or he thinks by merely mentioning the MCE's name will let people know where? Does he know not that even Ashanti Region has bigger name than Otumfou? when you say Otumfou how many of the same PUPIL know even though they might be Ashantis. Bogus and shoddy reportage.

Bekwai is one of Ashanti towns and NPP strongholds. The parents only talk about Akuffo Addo so what do you expect? Children don't vote. Did the Chronicle find out what is happening in Volta and the Northern regions? This is no news for a paper like chronicle. Akuffo Addo shall never be president of Ghana so leave it. Shame with your bribe.

This is the second time a pupil in Ashanti Region has answered that the prez is Akuffo addo. Why does this not happen inother regions apart from Ashanti? It has to do With what the parents and to some extent the Teachers tell the children. Even Our politicians and many from that area still do not Accept that Nana Addo lost the elections. Just look at how he is also adpred outside the shores of Ghana. Some People even describe him as the prez.

When parents in that area keep denying the fact that that man Akuffo Addo is not a prez and rather pretend to be telling their children he is the prez,what do you expect. This nothing about the popularity of the man but a pure ignorance on the part of the pupil and may not be able to know the fact of the history of the state. Sorry for the pupil for being misled by his or her parent.

Nana Akuffo Addo will surely be the president of Ghana come 2016.He,s the man to lead mother Ghana to economic prosperity. The evil NDC knows very well that the NPP has the the brains to develop this country of ours. The NDC stole the verdict and you don't expect thieves to manage their bounty well. That's exactly what the Evil NDC is doing in the country now. Thank God Nana and the NPP brains are there; they will come to power to fix the economy and relieve us of the NDC imposed burden.
