Aaaaah God bless the small boy
Very intelligent
I have dreadlocks so I clearly understand being discriminated against. I am so saddened by your family's plight. My husband and I were summoned to school to talk with the principal about our son's dreadlocks also. Please don't give up hope, stick to what you believe in, and don't allow others to manipulate you and your family. Society wants to put all of us in the same box and expect us to behave, believe and act in a certain controlled way and fashion. But we were not created to be this way. So please fight to be you... your unique self.
I am really sorry for this innocent children going through this drama 😞
If you live in a country where a young man like Tyrone is more intelligent and has more insight than the adults paid to lead and administrate the education system, you know the country is doomed for generations to come.
Sad.
No. Not for generations to come. The mindset of the new generation is promising. Very open-minded.
@@anaxikay5448 I hope they're rational and open-minded about the right issues.
With all his intelligence he is still out with no school and currently all the other schools are following the good example of the Achimota school. Thank God Tyrone. for waking the others schools up. Am wondering as to how a proud Rastafarian will still be holding tight to his slave masters name.
@@cheendo7400 If you would have done your research before commenting here, it would have been helpful. He's not using any slave master's name. Discrimination of any form is not a good example. Even in that same school, there are white students who have been allowed to grow their hair long. Why not the black fellow?
@@anaxikay5448 Personally I don’t think any sane person will use the white person argument because no African is born with dreadlocks and so are whites, and so if a white person is carrying dreadlocks and he is not under any exchange program, he/she must face the same rules.
It’s sad how we easily associate locks to “weed”.
I smoke weed, even though I do not have locks. PS weed is from earth and it is therapeutic
Lack of knowledge. This is sad
@Noly Agyei I know right🤦🏻♀️
wat is weed they said if you go to rome ? africa is rasta
We have adopted the western culture so deeply that we don't even remember our self. Dreadlock is African,our ancestors were in dreadlocks,Okomfo Anokye and many great kings who lived on the soil of Africa. Even in the Bible Samson and Prophet Ezekiel and others were in dreadlocks. What has dreadlocks have with Education, it's a choice of both the parent and child either to keep dreadlocks or shave the hair of their children schooling.
I won't be suprice if Jesus himself was in dreadlocks.
@@edmondjones7809 he was a Nazarene and in the bible they never cut their hair so therefore it might be possible he was in dreads
Long essay but look at your picture .you are wearing a nice shirt and a tie, why not dressed like komfo anokye
@@owuodegeneral7818 because I chose to dress that way. Same someone else can choose to have dreadlocks or any clothes of his or choice
I like Tyron’s voice
Anybody should tag this post for future reference. I bet you Tyrone Marguay is going to be soo much great.i can envision that, Mark it
How have these rules and regulations benefited Ghanaians in the long run?
Ask again dear
The rule teaches humbleness and respect - we all went through it.
My niece from the UK was sent back to Ghana to complete secondary school, she had to follow the same rule.
If the young man is given a pass, can Ghana schools maintain the rules? After all you allowed him/her to break the rule why not allow the rest.
Humbleness and respect is very important in our culture, let no one imposed their way of life on us.
@@matildafinnah9963 I'm sorry but what has that humble Ness n respect you mentioned helped us to achieve apart from timidity and not being able to speak up
@@evao1592 I respect you comment. I believe it's a topic we need to examine and come to the right conclusion. If it's something we have to do away with than let's do so a people, let's not however allow anyone come and impose their ways on us.
The guy is so smart wow
Can any private school accept donations to permit the children to attend with their hair?
Yes, y not.
Im sure
Forreal empress thanks for the vibe👊🏽
Such an intelligent kid. He sounds very smart and brilliant. Indeed there will be an alternative.
They have good command over the english language.
While others are manufacturing and advancing at a rapid speed we are wasting our time on the importance of cutting hair, foolishness!!!!
Say it again nonsense nkwaaa in this country
Ma guy tell them ooo what's happening in this country
Thank you after all these our roads will be fixed automatically
That’s what ignorance does to mankind
Remove all heads over 55 and replace with younger ones
The old ones are retarding Ghana progress
Look in our parliament full of ppl out of touch with the real world
It’s a shame
The people developing their country are they all having dread🤣🤣😂 please with or without dread we can develop our nation,,,,,I don't know why some people are thinking this way,,,,,,they should continue looking 4 school to suit them🤣😂😂he will soon grow old,,
Please let’s learn not to use the word “dreadlocks” lets so play say “locks” cos there’s nothing dreadful about these locks
Brilliant
Tyrone, write the SAT and leave these people. You're too brilliant for all this.
Abeg whats the full meaning in SAT
@@realdeal6366 Scholastic Aptitude Test
The boy is overly smart. Some university folks dont even speak english with that much coherence
Being able to speak good english doesn't necessarily make you smart.🤭
@@princeansahtakyi7980 was about to say same thing 😂😂😂. Such a dumb comment
@@analyticshub9615 But in this scenario Yes they're indeed very well educated and well spoken from academic backgrounds checks 💯💯💯👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
English you say? Come on wrong comment from you please
English language so what.
He’s very clever... St Johns Grammar cannot rely on Achimota School’s policy to deny them...
th-cam.com/video/k2Lv84g-aWQ/w-d-xo.html
What do you mean by that 😏
the boy can speak bl3, wow. God will surely make a way
People in Ghana pretends to be open minded but clearly this showed otherwise. They have made us cut our hair for a long time and the excuse is, we'd rather play with our hair than study.
No their reasons are proven , allowing girls to bring different beautiful lustful hairstyles will make it worst and tempt teachers and students.
If it is so, then what you saying simply means the same teachers talking about discipline, themselves are not discipline teachers.
The father and the son can speak good English better than some of the headmistress and teachers.
It looks like, ( nea ode naade no, wode benkum na egye). 😢
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@bernardayikpa he’s obviously a westerner so of course his is English is more pronounced, probably from Jamaica...... I’m American and an PA, if we decide to go home for good we must assimilate as much as possible and not try to force anything culturally onto the continent unless it is desired and in no way should we attempt to force anything........
Yes the father is Jamaican. This man went to Africa just to get sh!tted on.
@@blkdiasporareturnsbdr3441 I wouldn’t say he got dumped on, the school administration sounded very polite in my option and that’s no slight toward the gentleman but It’s way too early for us to do the western style SJW tactics on the African continent, it’s a private school they have their rules of uniformity and it should be respected or at least be addressed more respectfully instead of being an example of what to expect from Black westerners, it’s a very dangerous path to be headed in especially for the younger Diaspora that will decide to return home in the future...... If there was real wrong doing I would understand but we shouldn’t be each other on blast for a difference of opinion.
What does the LAW says? Can't wait to hear from the court.
This is not a good look on Ghana. This is Africa the more reason we should be accommodating of the cultures we’re inviting into our system. The minister for tourism, the GES and the president needs to get involved. If you want to have people move to Ghana, “year of return “ then have laws to accommodate their cultures, religion and facilitate ways to accommodate their beliefs. This is appalling.
EXACTLY
Bam
Wise talk
Trust me. Can you imagine we are not even accepting our own people. Sigh
This is very annoying ah, just admit the kids eh oh
What jonas said is true
Firdaws u look so fly
Woooww.....his English is so fluent and on point
Start your own School. At the end lets see who earns more
Since he should start his own school, then let us know, the Achimota school is for who ?
Then everyone with long hair of any kind should also take it off till after school ...
😄😄😄
Period
I don't even know why we were made to cut our hair
Including white and Asian girls
Well said young man, it's not little discrimination it's ignorance.
this is a big disgrace to ghana
this is discrimination
very shameful
this young man is poised to lead this nation one day, look at his level of intelligence, if i was an head master he won't face this discrimination
Back in school at St John's grammar, one of my classmates was a Chinese with a perm so i don't understand all whats going on. Even at Achimota there are lots of them there. The fight here is a color thing mixed with colonial mentality
And you know what the school leaders say, they have nothing to say than to base their acceptance of long hair on people who are coming for an exchange programme and on medical basis..lol
This is nonsense..smh
@@chrisadamsgh7819 ikr
Let your children go resigter for S.A.T this SHS is a waste of time.
What has their hair got to do with the school, DISCRIMINATION
It's SO annoying what those clueless bureaucrats are doing. Very uncivilised people.
🤔
Chai,his English is very smooth 👏👏👏😭😊😊😊😍😍😍
His dad should send them to a private school... With his intellectual ability he can perform the science and maths and even win the achimota students one day... Yh
Hmmm it’s all money,if money was der maybe he won’t waste his time going back n forth with the schools but enroll them in private schools asap
@@lainegrant8262 yhyh... i didnt even think of that
I fully support the boy do not dim your light so that their can shine.Do not cut your hair
I hate this country Ghana , opportunities are not being provided for the youth and yet we are being treated unfairly, Ghana hmmmm
Who noticed this boy speak impeccable English than the university graduates of nowadays
Sure
Yes he speaks very good English but speaking a language very well doesn’t mean you’re intelligent. There’re many intelligent students in Ghana who cannot write their local language and also speak it poorly
th-cam.com/video/k2Lv84g-aWQ/w-d-xo.html
Yes the very fish time I saw his dad was in a trotro and he recieved a call and trust me the English he spoke got me like damn .... who is this man
Wow he is very very smart.He stood for himself 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿he will grow and do wonders for ghana.I will choose him anytime over the useless leaders.Sense nkoaaaa
This kid is intelligent 🤓 just see how he is spitting out the English
Just a junior high graduate
This discrimination doesn't make sense
THE YOUNG GENTLEMAN SPEAKS VERY ELOQUENTLY GOD BLESS YOU
Well I think it's necessary to follow GES rules and regulations because if each person who has enrolled in a government school should allowed to make their hair what ever they want, we the students will be super happy BUT the government is not allowing us to do what ever we want with our hair. But the interesting thing is that the private schools are allowed to keep their hair so I don't see the need on stretch this issue so much. No one is discriminating them they should just accept it. If they really wants to keep their hair, they should go to private school and if they really want education and still wants to be enrolled in the government school, then, they should follow the rules and regulations of the school
The boy speaks eloquently.
The reason why most Ghanaians are well respected and given decent jobs in advance world is our appearance, we have had UN secretary from Ghana, we had one gentle man working with BBC I guess others know of some Ghanaians in high offices in places. The moment we start accepting this people very soon boys with ear piercing and body tattoos will also show up, that will be the end of Ghana's noble culture.
Well said!! 👏🏼👏🏼
What is the meaning of all this?
But the headmasters think they are cool with horse hair and fake eye lash
Fluently bigups my boy.😂
A lot of people in authority in Ghana fool ruff
i pray they get scholarships to study outside the country
this is a clear indication of how ghanaians judge people by their appearance
shameful
What happens to the school rule, giveing preference to some children will bring indiscipline in our school, I dnt tink you will allow anybody to break a rule you set up in your company if you are the boss, I don't understand you people are refusing to understand what is going on, what of the girls who has to cut their hair to attend SHS,, do you know that one of the boys just started his locks only three years ago?? What happened when he was wearing low cut, and why are their parent forcing their children to keep the locks, am sure there are so many guys in the school who want to wear locks, but they have to wait, so these boys can cut the hair, and grow it back after school, simple, you don't have to wear dread to be a rastafarian,
THIS HAS BEEN THE RULE IN SCHOOLS ALL ALONG. WHEN YOU GO TO ROME YOU DO AS THE ROMANS DO. THE RASTAS ARE
POLITICISING THE WHOLE SAGA. RULES ARE RULES, AND IF THEY CANNOT ABIDE BY THE LAW, THEN THERE WILL BE NO EDUCATION.
AS A PARENT WHAT WILL YOU CHOOSE?
Well said sir, this can happen only in Ghana, it's simply understanding
Massa kommot who said they won't get education ,the private and international schools would accept them because they don't believe in these stupid rules like the administration of Achimota
Well it's time for the school to evolve. They need to change the rules to accommodate all kinds of people. Be it muslim girls with hijab or rasta hair. If the child is willing to learn, why prevent them.. Can't you see how articulate he is?
They should start a go fund me so people can donate and get him into a private school. This is foolishness
They should. Get a TH-cam channel and give us update about their progress... they will get paid kuraa by TH-cam. Dream killers as leaders
Yh good point, l will like to contribute.
Private schools are okay not in government schools please
@@maryananoo5298 so you actually came on here to make this point? My God, ignorance is a bliss. If that’s the case our people are fighting for rights all over the world. Basic rights and freedoms. Why don’t we just stay on our own continent? But still we fight because we believe our lives matter as well. Matilda your very ignorant! You lack knowledge, wisdom and education. Let alone common sense. Our children are out their in different countries and are discriminated against because of the Color of their skin. Why don’t that also give up and go to blacks only schools? Grow up!! It is just hair! The cutting of our hair is because the Europeans during colonial times wanted to demean us so we all had to have our hair cut short. So get your Ass out of colonial mindset and free yourself! When discrimination hits your home than we will see if you are singing the same song.
Remember that the ones making decisions in the name of the school are individuals. Rigid, strict, dressed uptight when its daylight, but when darkness comes down, pure filth! I know the type! Give him his education which he has a right to and cut the crap of picking on small things to be judgemental about.
Tyrone. Accra Academy would admit you so go there. In BLEOO we don’t discriminate on rastafarians
GES, common update yourself.
Very intelligent boy
Definitely we’ll get education by all cost ✊
Forget Ghana schools, homeschool them and let them write novDec .... the most important thing is getting admission to tertiary and per his results he is excellent
God provide opportunities for this intelligent kids abroad , Amen
Bigups Tyler
What! Which old students?
useless old students
This boy will be a great leader in future Tyrone God guide u
He is going to change that narrative in the future and this is just the beginning
thats a smart kid right there being denied his right to education because of religion. What happened to the freedom of religion . 2015-2018 the Accra Academy admitted one guy called Laud with dreadlocks just like this kid and there was absolutely no problem. Its the personality of the kid that counts Achimota sch should grow up. Imagine we start saying muslim girls has veils so we wont allow them🤷♀️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤦♂️
People are not understanding something from this situation........ I personally think the shaving of our (Ghanaians) natural hair and the grooming of foreign students' hair is bias in our education system. In the first place what was the reason behind " barber your hair for school" ?...where did it originate from? I quite remember when I was starting SHS... I had a severe medical condition of which shaving my hair could worsen the situation but NO I was forced to do so and had to live with the consequences to date. On the other hand, a Chinese- Ghanaian freshman just like me was allowed to keep her hair with the excuse that it's against her culture ( SMH). It just doesn't make sense because if all students (Ghanaian or foreign) are allowed to keep their hair and even taught how to groom and take care of their hair with strict rules and regulations, I don't think it will be a problem, especially in this 21st century. But GES says NO but still encourages the bias. It's high time they realize that shaving hair is also quite problematic especially after SHS. Think about it....with the number of female SHS students in the country, this could also create employment for native hairstylists if they are also made to follow the rules for styling SHS student natural hair. Well, who is thinking???? .....we dey inside saa
And his confidence too
We've allowed these institutions to get away with discrimination for too long it has become second nature.... Schools should make rules taking into account the laws of the land.... Period..... We don't want to hear any ananse proverbs, or wise speech or any adages.... Strictly constitutional law
The old student association.
Yes you will get educated at all cause i love u
Africa di3 unnecessary things sorrrrr smh
Smart gentleman.
What a sad world
What has dreadlocks got to do with education Ghana
His voice dey jee for the vanishing
When you go to Rome do what Rome do OPAMBOAUR KWASIE KWA when you go to Africa do what African's do period in Italy here 10% are doing
Human rights
Wow prejudice in Africa over African culture. This is sad.
The boy is very brilliant
Minister of education has to step into this unfortunate incidence
The boy is brilliant! Ghana is not prospering and it's not a curse, it's our own character. The way we think about other issues is out of the equation. We actually don't know what it is. We have no facts, we just think and assume. We're lacking behind.
A day will come GES will come out no entrance or final examination for locks kids its sad Ghana we need to grown up
If having hair is equal to a hindrance in education, then a law should be passed for students to cut their hair from nursery up to university, and when they are through, they can start growing it. Because, to only cut your hair for SHS would be HYPOCRISY. Its time for a change. Let it happen. And for the old students who want the children to be oppressed like they were, shame on you!
AFRIFA AMANKWA YEBOAH PAYS HIS RESPECT ✊🏽
Smart kid
He can get into other better schools out there.
St Peters at Nkwatia Kwahu, Prempeh College, Adiss and others.
As a result of the various achievements of certain individuals who went through our schools, the school authorities have built a certain lack of respect for anyone. This arrogance of the ones in charge of the secondary educational institutions in Ghana is despicable even to the point where they step on the rights of these young individuals. Funny enough if not annoying, they will be teaching students rights and freedoms in the classrooms meanwhile no example is being showed by them. I believe this case should be sent to court . Most SHS students - present as well as past students have been bullied by those put in authority in the various schools. I am in SHS 3 ( I wont mention the school for obvious reasons)right now and I am a witness to similar acts of arrogance and disregard of students . This dreadlocks issue is not the only stiff necked position of the people placed in charge of the schools. Why should GES give a direction and the school decide to debunk it? Clearly arrogance on the path of the school's heads and the Dictatorship of the alumni association of the school. If it were a an option D school, they would've accepted the young individual nonetheless. I believe the solution to this problem will be to set up a law that puts schools directly accountable to the government so that any student who feels his right his being infringed by the school authorities can have the confidence to report to the law enforcing agencies. This arrogance as a result of the pedigree of the school should not continue.
New sub
My Dad is a Fattish priest I will also come to the schools for my own dress code ... If human right will also fight for me
Please dress code is different from someone's hair... even in events and occasion there are dress codes but no one gives any rule on hairstyles
You can't spell or write well anyway, so no matter what, you'll be rejected. We're talking intelligent students here.
Sit down!
Madam please learn sense okay...can you wear red and black to a wedding?? but you can take your horsehair wig or any hairstyle cos that's natural , that's the difference between dress code and hairstyle
Waa see some school be a they are saying they have rules :)) Havard koraa their student body president wears locks :)
If they don't know, they should research on Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith; she is an American physician with dreadlocks.
These people are just discriminating.
Me de3 I don't want to hear that they are talking about Black Lives Matter in Ghana ever.
If home tuition wasn’t expensive,dat would have been the best option....this fight for freedom looks bleak
This boy really speaks good English
Shame on you Ghana
What a english 👍👍👍👍
St. John’s Grammar shouldn’t rely on what achimota school is saying they should know they are different from Achimota school.

The family need to start a GoFund me Account to raise funds to help them with Legal fees against all the parties concerned.The who world is watching Ghana reject and abuse this boy and his Family.
You can't win a case like this in any court in the world trust me,... Not even in Jamaica... Same issue happened in Jamaica and the school won the case.

Yh another school will accept him he's should go
You Ghanaians let the Rasta peoples feel Free
It not only dreadlocks , even in primary school you have to cut your hair because of rules, I had to cut mine because of it. This should be happening same where in US or the European countries not in Africa , what has hair got to do with studies, this hair issue should be a choice.
Ghana as a nation is lost because we don't even know our own identity. Our education system is a joke. Is our education system even benefiting us as Ghanaian or is to benefit our colonial masters.
Exactly! That's the kind of discussion we should be having as a society.
Watching this make me sick, in this modern world....what has his hair got to do with his education. Ghana grownup
Cutting their hair doesn't mean they're free from sin, the girls cut their hair and still get pregnant, boys hair are always short but some still get into sakawa and other bad things
May The Lord Jesus help them get admission somewhere they're education can be realized,
Tyrone guy speaks more sense than the school authorities respek Rasta 👊🏿
