I NEVER ATTENDED SECONDARY SCHOOL – AMBOLLEY REVEALS

One of the living legends in the Ghanaian music industry with songs to his credit dating back all the way into the 70’s, Gyedu Blay Ambolley, has revealed that he never attended secondary school because all the schools which existed at the time were Missionary schools, and he didn’t want his mind to be polluted with the doctrines and teachings of the west.

Speaking in an interview, the “Simigwa do” man said, the white man came with the sole purpose of imposing their doctrines on Africans and he didn’t want to be cajoled into believing certain things and accepting certain things as the truth, so he went into music right after elementary school.

“All the schools at the time were called Missionary schools; Anglican, Presbyterian, Catholic and all those were missionary schools. So the curriculum, the books they brought the same time around. So they taught us what they wanted us to know, and that’s what I didn’t want to go through,” he said.

Gyedu- Blay Ambolley also added that he doesn’t regret his decision one bit and would have taken same now.

Arguably the rap originator, on the converse, defended why he allowed his son to go to the second cycle school. Ambolley said his son didn’t have any interest in music. He, therefore, had to let him follow and develop his dream.
