With the ongoing hair debate concerning Achimota School Vs Rastafarians, a former school mate of Nadia Buari has recalled the trauma the actress passed through when they cut her long flowing hair back in senior high school.
Technology Enthusiasts, Ethel Cofie, narrated how the actress cried when the seniors cut her hair at Mfantsiman (SSS).
"lol remember that day they cut Nadia's hair in Mfantsiman she cried till her nose was bright red and the seniors gleefully butchered her hair.
"till this day when i see Nadia in a movie, i remember the crying and the red nose,"
She said this in reaction to Ameyaw Debrah's initial tweet that highlighted the difference between rules and regulations of different institutions.
The blogger noted how an Accra-based private school Nadia attended had made an exception for her to keep her hair but Mfantsiman Senior High School insisted that she cut it.
"When I was in JSS (Englebert) all the girls were made to cut their hair but Nadia Buari was not affected. But when she went to Mfantsiman (SSS) they made her cut it off" he recalled.
The battle between Achimota School and the Rastafarian students is still ongoing as neither party have shown any signs of giving in to the demands of the other.
Achomota Scholl has insisted that school rules do not allow students to wear locks even as the beleaguered parents and students also insist that the rights to education of the students are being abused.
The issue received parliamentary attention on Thursday, March 25 when MPs made submissions on the floor of the house.
Whiles a number of them chastised the school for denying the students a right to enrollment, others insisted that school rules needed to be enforced to the latter.
Education Minister Yaw Osei Adutwum had this to say on the matter:
“Let us not through school rules introduce apartheid regime albeit via the backdoor. This is the reason I will condemn statements to the effect that Rastafarians should build their own schools… Tolerance and accepting unique identities at that age cannot be inimical in any educational system,” he said.
