As somebody who is well rounded and humble that's why God has raised him above you, with your hate and enviness you will never see the glory of God, there is another brilliant akan lady in the UK who also was on top and was published in one of their news papers, higher, higher the kids of akans will go and our enemies will continue to be lower.

I stated that its a fanti name because I know a lot of them with that name. But the earlier writer suggested that His name is ANIN and not ENIN and its entirely out of the question. Whether he is ashanti or fanti or nzema or dangomba, I really dont care. In the early 2000s, a Ga boy topped the british O-level and A-Level. It never really matterred whether he was Ga or Dagomba. So anybody can be blessed. God has truly blessed him indeed but to suggest that God blessed him because he the guy is humble is not true. He is not the only humble guy in the world. Why aren't they all going Yale or where ever.

Turkey, why insult The Mask just because he made a claim?
Is it out of human possibility for that to occur?
All schools look for top grades (well, and political connections and a cinch of financial independence) to admit students, who, because they are press-shy, are not in the United States or have parents who are too humble and/or poor to boast it up to the world, make their quiet choices.
Lots of Ghanaian kids do get top grades, (or used to, at least in my time), get evaluated by the same grade-rigorous standards of the schools, and then get admitted without the noise, so your insults aren't well founded.
You are really the TOO KNOWN here.

No, you don't know whether it's his kids or my kids he is talking about.
In any case, that's not the issue.
The issue is that The Mask has the right to tell us that other Ghanaians have achieved same.
He is not pooh-poohing Enin's achievements. He is only saying other Ghanaian kids have been similarly successful.
Whether he is wrong or right, you and Turkey don't know that.
Nothing wrong with Turkey asking him to prove it, but he is out of decency insulting him with such revulsion just because he, The Mask, dared educate those who might be unaware, that such feats have been precedented.
That's my point.
People who truly, earnestly and sincerely BELIEVE in their hearts (and I do not mean PRETEND) that they are first achievers ought to be corrected if there's a precedent, because nobody knows everything.
That's how we get educated about events that are not unique to us.
Therefore, The Mask is right and you and Turkey are wrong. Your comments are peevish.

There are more other students that have received huge scholarships to other big schools and no one acknowledges them. This guy is already in the US so who gives a squak. Give us better news. Moreover he's not going to leave the US and move to Ghana to help the country develop anyway. Ghana is as hopeless a country at this time. Are they going to use this kids prowess to secure loans from IMF and or World Bank? Stupid media people you should know better and stop putting this innocent boy in the limelight when you should be chastising your useless government to do better and leave outsiders alone. This kid is not Ghanaian he's a US citizen so don't take credit his US teachers should take the credit. Shut up you all.

The young man has achieved a feat and we must appreciate that, and we should, even he weren't Ghanaian. But, the more so because he is our kin and makes us proud, not jealous. It is such jealous attitude that is destroying our society. We cannot appreciate good things; we get jealous instead.

Of course he might not move to Ghana for any reason of Ghana's development and does he have to?
Ghana honors and appreciate his success because it is an honor, and rightfully so. It is natural.
In fact, I believe there are same if not better geniuses in Ghana too we just have to capitalize on that potential in the youth. America did?
There are many kids in Ghana who wants an opportunity to just learn? I did and I am fortunate to be studying in a country that pushes me forward -America.
Ghana as a country tries to help, but Ghanaians themselves are gripped with the disease of jealousy and despondency.
I was once #1 in my JSS class and on my report was written that "He has a bright future."
But another teacher mocked that, "let's see when he meets the fun in SSS...", in my face.
Man, we need change within ourselves.
