Samini prevented to speak to school children over dreadlocks

Popular Ghanaian dancehall artist, Samini, has been prevented from speaking to students of the Ebenezer Senior High School Accra because of his dreadlocks.

Samini who also doubles as the boss of the Highgrade Family recounted his experience to Citinews. He said the school’s headmaster prevented him from addressing students on the basis that his looks were unwelcome at the school.

“The headmaster of Ebenezer Senior High School decided that because of my dreadlocks, I was not fit to speak to the students of the school which is in Dansoman where I live, which is 5 minutes from my parents’ home,” Samini said.

According to Samini, he initially found the headmaster’s comment as a harmless joke but it later turned out to be something he meant.This he said forced him to exit the school with his team without addressing the students.

As part of his school tour in Dansoman, he went through his former school Saint Magaret Mary and other schools but no one denied them access to speak to the students.

“At Saint Margaret Mary, I went there with my dreadlocks and I met the Reverend Father who is the assistant headmaster and then I went and met the headmistress herself. Then I went to the vocational school with my dreadlocks,” he further noted.

Known for hit songs like ‘Obaa’, ‘Linda’, ‘Odo’ Samini has been in the Ghana music industry for about 20 years, winning several awards both locally and internationall
