WHAT AT ALL DOES AZAR WANT ?
Go to All the Islamic mission schools and see non moslems girls are all forced to wear the hijab no pork is allowed to be served why do they want to have their way in Christian mission schools
Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine ... For instance 15 paracetamol at once. Or... combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.
Azar tackles AG Ayine!
AZAR, I don`t agree with your opinion! How can a methodist-founded school cease to be a methodist-doctrine school? Azar is going to America, change your surname???
The real question to ask is, why were so many Moslem students posted to Wesley Girls, Achimota and? What is is it meant to achieve? What is the long term agenda? Talk to any staff of the above mentioned schools and you'll be ...

Acimota is not a mission school
Azar, I like you so much BUT this one di3, I disagree with you. You can't be more wrong.

Govt has not returned any school back to the missions. It is something that has to be looked into.
When did the govt returned those schools to the churches?

THIS PROF AZAR GUY SHOULD BE REPORTED TO PREZ TRUMP AND DEPORTED IMMEDIATELY FOR ENCOURAGING AND SUPPORTING JIHADIST ACTIVITIES IN OUR SCHOOLS IN GHANA.
Prof Asare are you saying those who worship Tigari also can bring their gods to the school and pour libations and slaughter chickens in full view. What a logic. Can anyone go to any Islamic mission school and practice their r ...

This prof knows it all Azar is one of Ghana’s problems. You sit in the comfort of America and want to profess solutions for us in Ghana. This man is against everything that is good.
U should be ashamed of yourself, nobody forces anyone to wear hijab..a Christian and u are lying...name an Islamic school that forces people to wear hijab..
God bless you, Muslims do not tolerate Christians in their institutions but they want Christians to give them freeway. There's an Islamic high school at Kanda-Accra where the national mosque is, Christians are not admitted i ...

You see no moslem is protesting about the genocide in northern Nigeria simply because those killing are moslems same in Sudan but when they kill jews and jews retaliate the foolish black moslems will be all over protesting
Exactly, Christians in Ghana should stand up now against their attitude of always playing victims when in fact they are the aggressor, Nigeria situation now should guide us.
Majority of moslems in Ghana are very poor but will still save money to go visit mecca enriching Saudi economy and build mosque all over their communities but can't save to build schools and hospitals waiting for Turkey to co ...

You are foolish. Look at the wealth paraded by charlatans like Duncan Williams, Obinim, Otabil, etc and tell me it is not from poor ignorant christians.
But given the absence of a genuine political alternative in our body politic, how can anyone expect the NDC/NPP—two scam parties—to have the moral authority to claim to offer solutions or present themselves as saviours? T ...

They can stay away from such schools.

Change the name to Wesley - Mohammedan Girls School. It will promote religious inclusiveness. Religion is also education. Leave Wesley girls and yhe girls alone. The hijab is good

If you want to wear hijabs go Muslims school, period. This foolishness must stop. The churches made contributions to build their school.
