John Dumelo has generated significant attention online with his intriguing statement in relation to the popular National Science and Math Quiz (NSQM).
The esteemed actor-politician expressed that in the event of Presec’s victory over his former school, Achimota, he would undertake a barefoot, backward walk from his constituency, Awayasa Wuogon, to Presec school.
He posted; “I am a proud Achimotan but If presec wins the #NSMQ2023 on the 31st I will walk barefoot backwards from Ayawaso West Wuogon to presec school! They can’t win over Motown! Presec? Tweeeaa!!!”
Similarly, Kow Abaka Essuman, a Ghanaian lawyer and legal counsel for President Nana Akufo-Addo, has expressed skepticism regarding the credibility of the National Science and Maths Quiz (NMSQ).
In a post on his Facebook page, which was brought to the attention of Tru News Report, Essuman suggested that the organizers of the show have been favouring Presec, one of the most prominent schools in Ghana, in order to maintain its unbeatable status.
He alleged that this has been occurring recently, with the aim of promoting Presec as the best school in Ghana. Essuman further claimed that this year, several other top schools, such as Prempeh, were unfairly eliminated from the competition. He also pointed out that the show’s social media account appears to be biased, with commentators mocking other schools and promoting Presec.
Following the progression of seven-time champions Presbyterian Boys SHS, two-time titleholders Achimota School, and equally illustrious two-time champions Opoku Ware to the finals of the competition, a comment was made.
Achimota School faced a challenging showdown against formidable opponents Wesley Girls and St. Louis SHS during the Thursday morning clash. In a gripping battle, Achimota School emerged triumphant with a commanding 41 points, establishing a significant 10-point lead in the final round.
On the other hand, Opoku Ware endured their most arduous battle since the competition’s inception against their Kumasi rivals Prempeh College and Pope John Seminary. In a historic victory, they outshone their Kumasi counterparts for the very first time, winning their contest with 38 points, two points more than their opponents.
The last semi-final match witnessed a daunting contest between Presec Legon, Mfantsipim School, and Keta SHS. In a grueling battle of wits, Presec emerged as the ultimate victor, earning their place in the grand finale set to take place on Tuesday, October 31.
