Ghanaians comment on Sharon Amoako’s appeal
Netizens who thronged the comment section of the video prayed that the brilliant young girl would get the support she needed to further her education.
Candle Lights opined:
“Don’t waste your time studying Computer Science. It is a useless course. A word to the wise is enough.”
Yaw Dwarkwaa stated:
“I pray she gets the support she needs. Such brilliant minds cannot go to waste, and by God’s grace, I know for sure that the help she deserves will be on its way. The GETFund Secretariat must ensure that the many brilliant but needy SHS graduates dotted across the country are given the financial support to further their education. The children are the future of the country; hence, leaving them to fate only spells doom for the nation’s human capital and manpower resources.”
Salam@05 stated:
“Do you want University of Cape Coast or KNUST?”
Aute Girls Studio wrote:
“Somebody should help me tag the Ofoase-Ayirebi MP. The girl is good.”
Nana Yaw added:
“Computer Science at the University of Ghana is very tough to study. Go to KNUST or UCC.”
Death Job but God dey 4us added:
“It is a good idea, but trying to get a government job earlier with these results will help you in your next four years to plan. My brother completed university six years ago with a first class, but getting a job was difficult. He has now applied for Army recruitment with his SHS certificate, and I’m going to command him like a JHS student. So please discuss with your family well. Thank you.”
