Dancehall artiste, Emmanuel Andrew Samini, known in showbiz as Samini, has recounted an incident that happened to him at a senior high school today.<\/p>\n
In a video he posted on social media, he said he was prevented from speaking to students of the Ebenezer Senior High School in Accra because he was wearing dreadlocks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt 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,\u201d he further noted.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, he said he had sent a prior notice to the Ebenezer Senior High School to speak to students about the importance of education and the arts.<\/p>\n
The visit was part of activities for his annual music festival, Saminifest. He planned to tour various schools in his locality to talk to them about music, arts and hard work.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Umari Sanda Amadu on Citi FM\u2019s Eye Witness News he said he was not going to take action against the school authorities.<\/p>\n
