Among the many items listed by Oswald was an iPad for which he claimed to have had permission from his teacher to use.

The young boy made the iPad request with a plea that his mother should not disappoint him on that.

But Oswald's mother has stated that she was going to disappoint the boy because she had not purchased an iPad for him.

Speaking in an interview on Joy FM on Friday, July 30, 2021, Mrs Gennuh indicated that though she had plans of fulfilling many of her son's wishes in the letter, an iPad was not part of it.

What is 'Our Day'?

Our Day is a term used in Ghana to represent end-of-term celebrations in basic schools across the country.

Usually, schools hold a get-to-together for pupils to feast on the last day of each term when their vacation starts.

On such days, pupils bring food and other gift items to share with their teachers and colleagues.

It is for this purpose that Oswald wrote the long list to his mother.
