Marghuy is one of the two Rasta students Achimota school refused to admit because of his hairstyle. In his Facebook post, the professor congratulated Tyrone and advised him to ignore all noise.

"Achimota has named Tyrone Iras Marhguy in its squad for the National Maths and Science Quiz for the next two years and it is in court, with the assistance of the State, seeking to kick him out of the school. Look, our problems are simple. It is our solutions that complicate them. Congrats, Tyrone, ignore the noise!"
