Facing the Achimota School controversy over his denied admission due to dreadlocks, Tyrone Marhguy triumphed with an outstanding performance in the West African Senior Secondary School Examinations (WASSCE), securing 8 As.

In an interview with Citi TV, Marhguy highlighted his academic dedication despite the admission setback.

He stated, “I don’t know if it was supposed to [be], but what I told myself was that, that was not the time. Because I know that certain things can be changed. If you sit around telling yourself this and that, do you want to cry or what? That was one. And I also think that the support from my parents and family was very essential.”

Describing the moment he checked his results, Marhguy revealed, “At the point of checking, I was like maybe I should check this alone and then later I could process and tell them. But I could tell from the eyes that I didn’t even try."

“We kind of pride ourselves on the schools we went to, so they will come and tell you some guy from my school that Bencher got 8 As. So they came to call me and when I went, they were all ready and cameras were on.

“Even in the BECE, I kind of write the scores I think I will get and then hope to get because I wrote it. So to be honest, I got 7 As; there was a B somewhere, English,” he continued.
