What a failed country!
Oh Ghana! America in the 18th century was way better developed than Ghana today. In this modern world, who uses this type of restroom?
Omg, I just lost my appetite reading this article. Poor guy, hope he don't get any diseases. Gross

Primitive leaders. Corrupt and visionless bunch.
In fact the teachers in the school should bow their heads in shame. They are irresponsible. For them to look on and say they donot have money to build a new toilet facilty for the scool is trully a sign of irresponsible behav ...

OMG!!!!!! is that the plight of the teacher now? Sharing toilets with students.Oh teachers of Ghana! Your reward is in heaven indeed. Blessed are the sacrificial ghana teachers, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
They say they don't have any alternative but to use the toilet as it was. Now that it has been closed, what would be their next step?
Is it a HIPIC toilet? I just ask.
You see Ashanti man fallen into Pepeni shit.
It takes a man to fall into a pit full of 'SHIT" "URINE" and "MAGOTS" to bring all these problems to the surface. It is all out now. Let's get it fixed!
This poor teacher MUST take the GES or whichever authority is responsible to court for compensation, period.
Surely OSEI TAWIAH has do something about this instead of compiling the towns in Ghana where TROKOSI shrines are. Even Rawlings does not care about TROKOSI nor are Ewe professors. Don't waste your time on Ewes. Please help As ...

THE RESOURCES PUT INTO SENDING SECURITY PERSONNEL TO THE NORTH EVERY NOW & THEN COULD BE USED PROFITABLY IN PROVIDING MODERN FACILITIES FOR THESE SCHOOLS.
why say so, shit be shit
What happened to the word "MAINTENANCE"
The mentality we have in Ghana is "IF IT DOES NOT BELONG TO ME, NO NEED TO MAINTAIN IT." This should be a lesson to all. Maintenance should be in the brain of all Ghanaian's.
Quite true to say. Growth and development of the school excerts sudden pressure on the existing structures and calls for expansion to fit otherwise the school ought to cot its coat according to its size. The worse of it is th ...

You lie!! What book did you read? Read Frederick Taylor's book on scientific management and you realise that as late as 1911 and 1912 America was like Ghana today with gross mismangement imbibed with racism etc.
Oh Say that again. What a country! What a people!
this is one of the numerous challenges Ghanaian teachers face but Graham and his fair wages people will say that no risk in teaching profession
When Nkrumah was fighting for unification the Asantes were fighting for their federation so up to date the Asantes do not have Ghana at heart they love Asanteman more than Ghana as a nation,if the going is not going on their ...

"Mo ne ka, Agya Sei Brempon". You damned right! Food for thought.
Why can't some of you emptyheads spend the day doing - or saying - anything constructive to build the only Ghana we know? What's Asante about broken toilets that are scattered all over the country?
Tribalism is a disease of the sick mind.
I wasn't surprised at all! I was expecting that. They didn't disappoint me by concentrating on the uncivilised state in which the mass of Ghanaians live.
It is a bloody shame!
Andy-K
People like Osei Tawiah don't want to contribute anything meaningful towards the develop of the country except such baseless and tribal issues.
MUCH AS WE BLAME THE GOVT FOR NEGLECTING THE ASHANTIS; SOME OF THESE MICRO PROJECTS COULD BE SPONSORED BY INDIVIDUALS,COMMUNITIES,CHIEFS OR THROUGH OTUMFUOR'S EDUCATIONAL FUNDS.
Woye aboa! What has this got to do with"Asantes". Foolish whoever you are!
Yes it has nothing to do with Asantes I wonder why such attack,nontheless its the truth
So the traditional authority and the Asantehene were all along waiting for Govt to build common toilet for their Kids. Where are the royalties from Gold, Cocoa and industries collected every month and sent to Manhyia. Tweaa a ...

Do you pay your taxes to Asantehene or to the gov't?
We can't even take care of the existing schools and the gov't is thinking of building 200 more schools.
Just imagine what those 200 new schools will look like
20 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE WORLD CUP AND 2 DOLLARS FOR DILAPIDATED TOILETS CONSTRUCTION, AT AGE 57.
AND THE GOVERNMENT IS PLANNING TO BUILD 200 SCHOOLS N A FREE EDUCATION.HMMMM.SO WHAT ARE WE DOOMG TO THE EXISTING DELAPIDATED SCHOOL BUILDINGS?
Shit happens
80% OF GHANAIANS LACK ACCESS TO DECENT TOILETS IN THIS MODERN TIMES.
With all these new toilets with sensors across the globe, our dear Ghana is still using KVIP.
What is the teacher teaching in the classroom?

Efua,you are great. Now they can build another toilet or maybe wait for Mahama? Simple efforts on our individual side would help everybody,but nobody thinks.
IS THIS BETTER GHANA ?
Hi Kofi ,I hope you are not waiting for NDC to build your toilet before you call it BETTER GHANA. Who falls inside?
WE CANNOT EVEN BUILD TOILETS IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND WE SAY WE LIKE MOTHER GHANA? WHERE ARE THE KOFI JUMAS, MPIANI, ADUSEI, SEREBOUR AND THE OTHERS? DISGRACEFUL BUNCH. HELP BY EXAMPLE.

Poor guy may have suffered. I pray he fully recovers. How many of these old KVIP toilets are still around and use by schools. Local authorities in the areas needs to act now to replace them before one is killed.

Common toilet. Some white people can be wicked but something like this will never happen in any white peoples country in this day and age.
What are you doing in Denmark ? Wicked whites live there.
Why is evil only occurring in Ashanti?
He has serious issues not good for the school and the region. He should be banned to the Greater Accra region.
You don't even have a basic toilet to use but when it comes to elections your running to vote for those stupid pocket politicians. Why? If they don't build you a new toilet don't vote for them.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Life and death situation is not a joke,massa,it could have been anybody.

Where is the intelligence of our degree and phd holders? common toilet we can't build decent ones for ourselves.
Teye-Mensah, it does not take a degree to build a toilet. If we need a PhD to construct toilets then we are in big trouble. In fact we are already in trouble.
