  YOU MUST BE THE BIGGEST FOOL ON EARTH IF YOU EVER TRY TO COMPARE THE HAJJ VILLAGE PROJECT TO THAT "SENSELESS & WASTEFUL HOLE" THAT AKUFFO ADDO HAS DUG AND CALLING IT "A CATHEDRAL..!!!!"
  
  Tell me... Is the Ghana Airport Company not A BUSINESS ENTITY that is building the Hajj Village facility to handle the endless groups of Muslim pilgrims who have regularly patronized their services, and for that matter, gaining financially in the handling & processing of these Muslim travellers..???? Now, somebody should tell me if those tens of millions of dollars that Akuffo Addo has used in DIGGING UP AN EMPTY HOLE is what we see happening at the Village site! At least, we can already see those massive columns and other concrete works for now. And more critically, the NPP's HASSAN TAMPULI has made that bold claim, that the Hajj Village is the NPP'S conceptualization, so why should the DESPERATE & CONFUSED NPP now be crying out like mad men over this tiny issue. But, you can all see what desperation, hopelessness, and the heavy curses from God can do to a bunch of AIMLESS PEOPLE..!!!!!

  Ghanaian Christians are simply stupid. If the government had decided to build a pilgrimage village for Christians, you would have seen the condemnation by both Christians and Muslims. The stupidly of Christians in Ghana is too much. Very soon Muslims in Ghana will ask for the Implementation of Shariah Law in Ghana and some Christians will support them.

Even your stupid father, if he were to be a billionaire, would never spend ONE MILLION AUTHENTIC DOLLARS to dig the foundation for the world's biggest Cathedral.

  I don’t know why the Haj Village is even needed. Moslem’s already have a big central mosque. If a moslem wants to embark on pilgrimage why must the state get involved? Can’t we build something else on the site? Any traveler scheduled to travel must come straight from home to the airport like every traveller. What then is the essence of the Haj Village?

  Im NDC but i don't support this Hajj thing at all. Why build a place for religious purpose that would be used once a year. Mahama must use his brain this second time. This Ramadan the politicians would use state money to go and donate to the chief imam and other Muslim groups but would not do same for Christians during Christmas. This money should have been used to build primary schools

  The writer just wasted all this time and was unable to convince even the spider. Kweku ananse story and trash. This hajj village thing should be discontinued if Mahama and those working at Ghana aviation respect themselves and respect Ghanaians. If they refuse one day we will kick out the hajj village and turn it into a 3 star hotel or something else which will generate revenue for a better Ghana or a world class airport like what Ethiopians are constructing or more better. Absolutely nonsense.

  A commercial facility for public use should not be given any religious coloration. Ghana airports should not lead itself into temptation. Moslems will make it their religious facility. They will insist on mosques being provided and toilet facilities that cater for their needs. They might even insist on its being a Islamic facility with any non-islam use and non-moslem users of the place considered as haram and fiercely resisted.

  What is called "Hajj village" is an economic investment to henerate income to GACL. The only particularity is that, during the hajj period the facility will be reserved for pilgrims to facilitate the formaliities and stay in Accra. It makes sense. Akuffo-Addo should be raised for iniating it.

  Shithole country. In these hard economic hardship, the question of hajj village pales into insignificance. There is no difference between NDC and NPP. They are all the same.
  We need a third force party that can bring innovative ideas to transform this country. Mahama is starting to show he has no innovative ideas to transform this country if the hajj project is his priority.
  How many times do you see develop countries building religious structures for the country. We need places of research and development not national cathedral and hajj village.
  I have to ask myself why Dr Nkrumah said the black man is able to manage his own affairs. Our mentality leaves much to be desired.
  Religion is foreign and imported by foreigners unto us.
  The white man came as a missionary. Islam is imported unto us and these parties in government are using it as a tool for votes instead of concentrating on economic governance.
  Mother Africa, judgement continues to fall on brutish beast and men have lost their reason. There are more churches and mosques than factories in Ghana.
  This country will never see growth because we do not have people with Nkrumah's ability. People who want to sacrifice for the country.
  Now to go into politics is to make money. All this national cathedral and the hajj village are all political gimmick meant to steal money through dubious deals.
  The youth of this country must sit up and stop taking tramadol so they can take serious part in the governance of their country. The politicians concerns are only for votes. They will build toilets if it get them votes. Whatever can get them votes, they will build bar research and development.
  The white man knows it is through democracy that they can put us in economic enslavement. A new government instead of building factories for the unemployed, it is building hajj village.
  Very soon, it will become not a swimming pool but a lagoon.
  He that is down needs fear no fall. Our leaders knows the country have failed so they hold no fear but to continue the gimmicks

  I am building factories in Bukina Faso. I have taken over all the mining companies in Bukina Faso. The money to build national cathedral and hajj village, I'm using it for building a tomatoes factory.
  If you want to go to a cathedral or a hajj village, my concern to this country is to get the unemployed employed.
  If you want to continue worshipping foreign gods, you do it at your own leisure. There are many gods in our villages who helped brought discipline in our national life. It stop people from stealing, commuting various sins.
  But these foreign gods helped our politicians and its people to be so emboldened to steal because they hold no fear for them.
  Let's take our politicians to Antoa every year to confess, and let's see how many will come with flying colours
  Mahama please sit up and don't fall for any electoral gimmick. Do not prepare anymore for power by abusing our resources.
  A word to a wise is enough
