SHS student receives a car gift
Nana Afia, a student of Yaa Asantewaa Girls’ Senior High School, finished her exams a bit earlier, and her proud mother came to celebrate her daughter.
The woman brought a money bouquet for her daughter. When she presented the bouquet, some of Nana Afia's fellow students started pouring powder on her.
Another woman who could be a relation also gave Nana Afia a bouquet. Her friends continued to pour powder on her as a sign of victory.
Just when Nana Afia thought that was all her mum brought to congratulate her, the woman pointed to a Toyota C-HR, which she said was for her daughter.
"That's your car over there," Nana Afia's mother said.
The fresh SHS graduate was amazed. She could not believe her eyes. However, her friends and other students jubilated.
When they got near the car, Nana Afia's mother gave her the keys and told her to at least sit in it.

"Absolutely irresponsible and opulent behaviour. At least wait for the results to be out and then celebrate her performance. I have seen many videos of same opulence exhibited in other schools. GES should discourage it."
