Description

In March of 2021, a major controversy erupted when headlines broke in Ghana that two students with locs applied to Achimota School and were denied entry on the basis of their hair. Ghana Education Service, after initially directing the school to accept the students, suddenly backtracked on this decision also denying them admission until they conformed by cutting their hair. In these two long-awaited and highly anticipated interviews conducted on JoyNews (Video) and Radio Univers (Audio), respectively, Okunini Ọbádélé Kambon, who was out of the country at the time, finally weighs in on the brouhaha, speaking directly to the issue and how it relates to issues of self-hatred, culture, identity, (mis-)governance and the Ghana’s lack of an educational system.
