Obaa Yaa Grace Ashly has said a problem is only a problem when you see it as such.

She was responding to how an alleged 2014 Methodist University exam malpractice impacted her life and work as a Gospel and cheer star.

She spoke to Taller Dee on No.1 FM, 105.3’s Journey to Heaven.

The controversial episode in her life “was a deceitful ploy by people who ganged up against me,” she noted.

“I say it to glorify God – everyone at Methodist University knows that this very issue has cost them a lot.

“But I thank some of the lecturers who spoke to me and at a point, I had to let it go.

“There are things that happen and you cannot explain yourself out of but God redeemed me and I had my certificate.

“Later we found out those who plotted it. The exam hadn’t started, there were cameras, also. So where from the exam malpractice?”

Grace Ashly said there was an Accra-based media presenter at the centre of the plot to discredit her educational pursuit.

“As at the time, I was progressing in politics. He opened his mouth to say Ghanaians will not accept a Gospel musician who wants to become a politician. He spoke, also, about the school I was going to. He connived with somebody – we know what happened. However, with some particular things, when God takes you out of them, you cease to talk about them,” the singer-songwriter said.

She found it curious and disappointing that when media persons went to investigate the issue at the school, they failed to broadcast the truth.

“I don’t know why but it seems people eat from the disgrace of others in Ghana. But my disgrace will make you very hungry,” she noted.

“Some of these things are nauseating but we thank God that every effort to break us off fails,” she concluded.

In 2014, Razz Newspaper reported Grace Ashly, a level 400 student of the Methodist University, Dansoman, Accra, “was found by the examination invigilators with a foreign material in the examination hall when she sat to write the ‘Constitution’ course paper. The action of taking foreign materials to the examination hall is prohibited per the School’s Examination Rules”.
