I just saw the video of the stabbed boy from O’Reilly SHS and how his colleagues handled him. I’m glad the boys did all they could to save him. However, I think we should ardently introduce first aid into our curriculums with all seriousness.

Today’s tragic stabbing of a high school student by his colleague at O'reilly SHS is a stark reminder of the escalating violence among our youth. It prompts reflection on how crucial child upbringing is in shaping empathy and non-violent behavior.

They should stop blaming the Teachers. Very unfortunate incident @ the O'Reilly SHS but there was nothing the Teachers could've done! As a Teacher, go to School, teach during your period(s) & go home to enjoy your life with your family. At the end of the month go for your salary! https://t.co/jdeV7K8a2c

We are safe under the #umbrella because John Mahama will build a 500 bed Children’s Hospital in instead of an expensive hole. #theumbrellachallenge pic.twitter.com/ykLHJaHlnT

A few wicked greedy avaricious nation wreckers are mortgaging our future.

This is not a building site.

This is an abandoned #Galamsey site just 1km away from the 𝗔𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗿𝗮𝗴𝘄𝗮 𝗠𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝘆. (Visuals: June 2024)

Almost the whole of Asankragwa is a galamsey field.

With the greatest of respect!

Hon. Frank Annoh Dompreh sounded very stupid yesterday. He spewed absolute rubbish!. He should have stayed put to his seat if he had nothing better to say.

We should be talking about solutions and not shifting blames! #StopGalamseyNow pic.twitter.com/hz0PIA5p1x

This is what NDC was doing when Akuffo Addo’s operation vanguard was doing well! They politicized it and promised imprisoned galamseyers amnesty and promised them lands to do the illegal mining. They sabotaged Nana Addo, blame them #StopGalamseyNow ✊pic.twitter.com/xleyi4pkcz
