WASSCE 2017: Johnson and Danladi
Johnson: Danladi, when are you leaving for school?
Danladi: School?
Johnson: Are you on break?
Danladi: No, but the school has been closed down due to clash between rival cult groups.
Johnson: What a terrible situation! I don't know when you are going to finish your programme. You have already spent six years in school for a 4-year programme due to frequent closure and compulsory breaks. So what will you be doing at home while the closure lasted?
Danladi: Roaming the street, visiting friends and attending social functions of course.
Johnson: You better engage yourself in a productive venture such as learning a new language, entrepreneurial skills, volunteer services and so on.
