What snub? They should keep quiet there. At a point in time when they realized they were not receiving any notice, why didn't they approach the organizers to find out. They sat down there till after the event they are now complaining. Why can't we be proactive some of the time? Why?

I agree completely with Afrikania Mission. And all this is because the Whiteman and the Arab man did a freakin fvcken good job on the mind of the African. Religio-cultural imperialism has eaten so deeply into our thinking that we even believe the Whiteman "brought" God to us. Oblivious of the fact that every culture has its own understanding and experience and concept of God we still hold on doggedly and stupidly to this foreign concept of God. The renaming or addition to the reinstatement of 1st July as national prayer day doesn't even make sense to me. The so-called prayer day has overshadowed the significance of the Republican status we achieved on that day. Then worst of all we excluded our own African Traditional Religion! Where then is the full and total independence we were supposed to have gained on 1st July?
Mahama must be guided with these religious stuff and charlatans who are swooning at his feet.

It's disheartening for owners of African faith to be snub off and a warm reception is given to foreign religions.

Kwame Nkrumah who gained the republican status for the nation never ignored our traditional religion .Ghana under Nkrumah had its state linquist and a bearer of the state sword.The late Okyeame Boafo Akufo, a native of Akropong Akuapem was the state linquist and at every state occasion prayed for the state through the pouring of libation.This was always in addition to prayers by moslems and Christians. Why should we put foreign religions above our own ? Are foreign religions superior than our own? Is it true that salvation belongs to only moslems and Christians? Abraham,Moses,Job were they Christians, moslems? African traditional religion worships the God that Christians and moslems worship and must be given rhe respect and attention it deserves. Most Ghanaians wrongly believe that African traditional religion involves the worshipping of trees,stones,rivers,etc,etc. In African traditional religion the spirits of the dead become the intermediaries between God and the living. Why the discrimination against our traditional religion by the government? The hatred and discrimination against our own traditonal religion which predates the introduction of Christianity and Islam must stop.

Aficania mission? They research into devil worship, worship of demon. Fetish priests who cast wicked spells on others, even killing them with juju and witchcraft. They pretend to call on the spirits of the dead in ancestral stool worship rituals, but the truth is that they are calling on demonic spirits for their wicked power. Their foreign counterparts can be found in the Lodges and secret societies. Run away from them to JESUS CHRIST, you will save your soul from destruction.

@kwame you don't know your root, you're a victim of white man's Slavery. African Traditional Religion is not demonic as brainwashed by the white man. The African knew God before the white man landed on the shores of Africa, and our ancestors knew God before the Portuguese land on the shores of Elmina.

@Kwami, you're a shallow Christian who is ignorant about the teachings of the Bible which states categorically that the Lord kills and makes alive. 1 Samuel 2:6. The point here is every powerful entity or individual can kill and heal. Even Pastors and Prophets can invoke the power of God Almighty to kill and heal. So get it straight that, those in the faith of Afrikan tradition can also kill and heal. The real traditionlist don't dabble in evil with their powers but they use it to heal and help people. They only strike when u cross the red line. Read the book of Acts 10:34-35 and u would realized that God Almighty is not partial and doesn't recognise race, gender, religion etc. All he considers is the one who fears him (God) and does what is right. So there are many people who are neither Christians nor Muslims but have fear for God and does only good and these are the people God knows.

What better contribution has traditional religion made to the development of the nation?

Christianity and islam have built schools and hospitals but all the traditional knows is to ban noice making, shoot people at the eyes, announce the use of human head to accompany chiefs.

Before sending the warning, they should rather think about the contribution they can make to develop the nation

They will forever be neglected. Were they going to pour libations to which god? Were they going to call on the spirits of trees, mountains, and the sea? Our God doesn't share his glory with lesser gods.

The case is that in the face of all the inhuman acts of these Abram religions we regard them to be better than our own traditional religions which have not raised inhuman acts of religion against society to the level of the Aram religions.
Let's remember Thomas Aquinas and the inquisition and Reverend Wowed for apartheid.
I our midst our clergy is happy that the most basic social needs have been made cash-and-carry by the state from which they are making money.
