Wow! So KOA who portrays himself as the most intelligent is not after all. Well, am sure he re-wrote his exams to make a better grade to the next level because it wouldn’t have been possible for him to gain admission at Legon without the required grades. Possibly, a second-world-war graduate. 😆
Wish him a speedy recovery though.
