After two days of voting, Ghana has again confirmed to the world that, indeed Ghanaians are very peaceful and a shining example to the rest on the African continent.
Using a bio-metric for the first time, many problems were anticipated. Though there were pockets of issues here and there, the elections went on peaceful.
It wasn’t as free and fair as we all thought but we can all praise ourselves because we didn’t end up in civil war like it happened in Rwanda, Kenya, Liberia and Ivory Coast.
Elections offer Ghanaians the opportunity to choose who they want to lead them. Thank to Akufo-Addo and the NPP, the 2012 election was very much centred around education.
Even though there were several policies promised, I was very happy with the NPP’s educational policy simply because I know that, many Ghanaian need Nana Addo’s ‘free SHS’ education policy since the stats of illiterates in the Ghanaian, especially in the coastal area is staggering. Not even funny at all.
The results as announced by the Chairman of the Electoral Commission means, Ghanaians have rejected the ‘free SHS’ education policy.
Very strangely, Ghanaians in the well-to-do areas with higher incomes voted massively to enable the free SHS to be brought to Ghanaians, as those in the typical coastal communities voted for the government which is against free education now.

Now that the elections are over and winners have been declared. If out of pity/goodwill you help pay for the school fees of 2 of the 5 children of your close neighbor so they can have some education and live meaningful life when they grow up, would you continue to do so if this same neighbor voted against the Free SHS policy?.
Now that your neighbor supported and voted for the people who were against the free education policy and they have won, would you still consider paying and sponsoring his or her children’s education?
This is exactly what I think Chris-Vincent’s Mother is upset about…Read what his Mom said about her neighbor from HERE.
