"We have Christ and no skills. When the Finance Minister said we should create our own jobs I was wondering how many days of fasting would be needed to do that. smh"

She admonished students of the school to make conscious effort to graduate from the school not just with Christ but with added skills.

"The main aim of KNUST is education not religion. You can come out of KNUST with Christ, there is nothing wrong with that. You MUST not come out without skills. If that happens then the entire enterprise of KNUST is lost. Religion and education are not diametrical in nature."

One thing I’ve always learned as a Christian is not to compromise any aspect of life building with the excuse of spirituality

From @miss_ivykay:

Madam you’re on your own. You chose to kabosh and kabash. There’s no “we” here.

@Moody_d8 replied:

Joke is on you if think a lot people are in this situation. Stop making it look like a general thing no it’s not. Then and again, some people were able to keep a good balance of academic work and their evangelical work so yeah we can’t relate talk for yourself.

I’m not sure in Knust, Paa Joe was a lecture hall and the school taught a course in tongues.

From @WizzleEl:

A whole lecture and we are mandated to open books and write notes: we can read and write already. A lecturer could not stand been questioned

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a three-year-old boy from the US moved close to Jesus early enough and people around the world could not be happier.

Makhi Martin decided to lead his class in prayers with an adorable short word of grace during his birthday.

His mum was lucky enough to be in the room while the little champ courageously showed off his mastery of a powerful prayer.

According to the mum, she could not believe her ears when Makhi got to business and recited a whole prayer like a learned adult.
