"Iron and Cutlass on SHS Prospectus can be Replaced with Passport" - Hayford Nomore Walls

Philanthropist and businessman, the CEO and Founder of HOB Foundation, Honorable Hayford Osei-Bempah has expressed a fervent statement to the Government of Ghana and The Ministry of Education. The Businessman popularly known as Hayford Nomore Walls on Social Media, has started this conversation on his Facebook wall and he writes....

"The revelations of nomorewalls to Ghana as a country. Just recently, the SHS students got admitted to the senior secondary school. We bought provisions and school items for them and not less than GHS 4000. We bought Cutlass and iron and many things. If 1000 students bring 1000 cutlasses and 1000 irons, there won’t be any need for the rest but just 5 irons in a dormitory can serve 100 students. That iron and cutlass could have replaced a Ghana passport. A ten years passport must be added to their list where GHS 100 must be collected from the parents to the government and each SHS student gets a passport." 

 "A passport is better than a cutlass and an iron. Secondly, I heard they are coming home to rest and the next batch follows …. Good … These kids can be shared to the government agencies like the court , banks , police n military department for them to do their national service and practice and learn things than to be left idle to stay in the House doing nothing. Imagine these kids in military camp learn, Imagine these SHS students serving at de bank Imagine these kids assisting the police Imagine these kids learning court proceedings Imagine these kids learning a skill Imagine these kids at the super markets as tellers There has to be a practical approach" 

 "For a sound secured future,  Idle hands ain’t good … 

These youth of age 15/16/17/18 will be exposed to life than going to school and coming and staying home for months and going again and coming and resting without any practical things. Not all of us got a good start .. so if this law comes, it will help some of us without any connections or a good foundation to meet people and build more connections before we graduate from school. Imagine what being in school and doing services simultaneously will expose them to life. Buying a compulsory hymn book is good But we can easily add a 10 years passport to them. At least, come to SHS can get a passport. We are not saying the government must give us free, but let them add a passport as well." 

"Each SHS student must also have a bank account. I want the government of Ghana, Ministry of Education, and those who brought the idea of a cutlass and hymn books n co to help me with these 3 things. A passport for each student A bank account for each student Sharing them among agencies for them to start work and serve from level 100 till they are out of school. We are competing with the other world not only limiting us to Ghana … It is dangerous to measure your greatness according to the people around you… Sometimes what they say we are made of …. Make us think you are what they say we are and we can’t change and we are programmed as they say…" 

"By the time a Ghanaian student will be 25years of age, he knows nothing but how to draw a fish and label its part.  A 14-year-old student in Europe knows many more practical things than those in Ghana. Japanese students are far more advanced than Ghanaian students … let us try and solve the inequalities Enough of the book-long things. We need exposure At least the passport can let them visit their grandparents in Portugal and British… they colonized us … our parents need to see us. Even a madman abroad does a balloon. After we are done with the SHS students… then we come down to the JHS student and the rest. For the country to escape disgrace… let’s add these. Cutlass and iron and hymn book can’t be with them for 10 years but a passport will be."

"You don’t need brains to know there is pain 

The more the pain the more the gain. 

Therefore no pain no gain.  

Those in pain without a gain must try again. 

Many are in pains in Ghana but without any gains.

Ghana must try again."

"We don’t have to be intelligent to know there is a problem. But you truly need brains to elevate the pains You don’t need to be intelligent to know the tap water is not flowing but u need intelligence to make it flow. Parents, you won’t have strength all the time .. voice out n get a change … we can’t buy cutlass and hymn books all the time.  There is nothing in doing nothing. There is no way an idle man will escape disgrace. It is better to be at the construction site than to be walking idly n doing nothing"
