Right at the end of this academic year I want to take the opportunity to thank everybody involved in the construction, regular updating and maintenance of this most beautiful and amazing page for their laudable efforts and tireless devotion. The pages make most interesting reading and I believe that few schools on this planet (if any at all) can boast to possess something comparable to this inexhaustible treasure trove. The commitment to the cause of the school can be felt behind almost every individual contribution or comment.

I'm an obroni but nevertheless had the chance to attend the Great Prempeh College as a guest student for an all to limited period of a couple of weeks earlier in 2003. Even this rather limited period has however proved to be the most formidable experience of my life. My short stay has ever since instired my love for all Amanfo and only few friends know how much I bemoan my fate not have been able to spend three years at Sofoline.

The regular visit of www.prempeh.org now enables me even over here in my "native aburokyire" to keep my memories alive, compare my own written records of that time with more thorough experiences and follow the current events at the great school, to which I shall always remain committed in my life.

May the Almighty God continue to bless all Amanfo - Nyame nhyira mo mu nninya

I cannot stress enough the great job you're doing. The time and energy you are putting into making the the Amanfoo site the most interesting in this whole wide world is incredible. I always find something new and interesting to read about anytime I visit the site. Great job!!!! I am also humbled and proud to know that this is the novel creation and work of a Pearsonian. I am more than willing at this point to make any contribution to support the site. May God continue to give you strength and wisdom in what you do.

Wow, Senior Pancho. These are very encouraging words coming from a legend like yourself. Are you going to help the current crop of Prempeh students relive the greatest boxing encounter in Prempeh's history? I have to start telling the boys about your incredible record at Pearson House.

THE LEGEND OF PANCHO

During one Entertainment time in the 70s, there was a boxing match (the first of its kind) between a guy named Opwae Gege and Pancho. Opwae was in Guggisberg and Pancho from Pearson. There was no good entertainment program that weekend and these two gentlemen decided to entertain the school with a "friendly" fight in the ring at the famous Osae Assembly Hall. They agreed to a friendly show with no animosity but when the fight began it all changed. With the Pearson boys cheering him on, Pancho wanted to get more fancy. He started sticking up to Opwae, and within seconds it turned into a serious boxing encounter. You see, Opwae grew up in Accra so he had a lot of boxing skills, while Pancho was from Kumasi. Guess what happened: Pancho was demolished. He could not come out during the day. He was the laughing stock on campus. Amazing!

Thank you Senior Pancho for your support. But we are still waiting for your account of the remarkable story.

Dear Sir,

I would like permission to borrow a few ideas from the article "THE IDI AMIN DEBATE" published here for use in a stage play I am constructing on the late Gen. Idi Amin Dada.

I will cite the debate as one of the inspirational sponsors of the play.

Hi, I was trawling around the net for Atukwei Okai, when I landed here. I am writing purely under the influence of the superb journalism and rhetorical genius of the writer of the recollection about Henry Hagan. I did not know anything the guy, but such breathtaking memoirs must be lauded! I attended Christian Methodist (1972-79), where we mustered quite an intellectual myth, despite our obscurity, but I can't help wishing I had tasted some Prempeh, too. Bravo!

I am a journalist and poet living and working in London. Please keep me on your friends list forever; God knows, I may even do a recital at Peason's in the future to honour the great athlete. Or maybe workshop the current students in journalism and publishing skills.

Much respect,
Fiifi, London

Sir:

Thanks to you for nice words. I have received hundreds of comments about the remarkable story of Henry Hagan. I'm sure Prempeh's Writers & Debaters Club would love to have you lecture them someday. Or we can bring you online for you to workshop the current students in journalism and publishing skills (interactively).

Good luck in your literary endeavours.

Sir,

I'm Yaw Kwarteng (B.PHAM. HONS), an Expert in Mission, OIL FOR FOOD PROGRAMME, IRAQ. I'm impressed with your site, which is the best website on Ghana. Keep it up. It's a lesson for great and young schools like Toss (Toase Sec. Sch.) to copy.

Hi folks,

Fortunately or unfortunately I'm not an Amanfoo, I am an Okatakyie currently in Legon.

Your website is truly of your kind, exquisite Graphics, extensive coverage and the like. I know Opoku Ware was among the first three High Schools in Ghana to go on the web but Prempeh's internet success is enormous. Good work to all the guys behind it.

I simply love this site.

Dear Darrel,

This is to thank you for being a regular follower of our website and for sending us your thoughts. Any work would be un-Prempeh if it fails to draw notice or evaluation from a keen Owarean eye, and vice versa, though our analysis of each other's work are usually conveyed in the form of censure or disparagement, which explains why "fortunately you are not an Amanfoo." But this compliment of yours is great and we cherish it because it inspires us. It is one of the many we have received from Owareans who, by the way, are doing an equally great job with their website/network. Keep visiting us and good luck in Legon!

Senior,

I thought the motto of Prempeh was "Omanpa Fapem ne Obrapa" and not the current one. Please, somebody should let us know, what the original motto was.

Dear Senior,

Thanks for your mail. The year you graduated from Prempeh (1963/64) was the year we changed the motto from "Omanpa Fapem ne Obrapa" to "Suban ne Nimdee" because the former was considered too mouthful. It has remained that way since.
