Government should give our schools to us and build it's own schools if we don't want the standards to be maintained. If Wesley girls had left the out the moral training same as the government schools would we have still found the school attractive to send our kids. Schools are meant to direct the morals of society not just learning of ACCADEMIIC books. Let's be watchful of our stupid taste in the name of human rights.

Now I see the agenda behind packing Wesley Girls, Legon Presec and Achimota and other grade 'A' schools with Moslems with extremely poor grades. I won't be surprised if they soon start demanding for Sharia law in the country.

If you want to talk about morals you'll lose the debate. Ghana being a majority Christian country and copying from our Christian colonial masters is what has gotten us into our current moral mess. Please let's leave it here.

Masa, it is because of this my right , my right, my right that has brought Ghana to this terrible state of moral decadence. Go back to history, we were morally high in the 60s through 90s . Until government took up the schools students and pupils from missions schools were discipline and respectful. So that is another debate for tomorrow. May be u are still young.

The TRUTH hurts. That is THE SILENT TRUTH. ASHANTIS WILL NOT VOTE FOR BAWUMIA. Even USA vote on tribal lines. White men and most especially white women refused to vote for Kamala Harris because she is black and Indian heritage. The USA whites voted for Trump even though they knew that Donald Trump is a racist and a bigot. We all vote on tribal lines and so be warned the SILENT MAJORITY SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED. DR Adutwum is the best person. In the USA-the Democratic Party gave Kamala Harris one chance and she LOST to Donald Trump very badly and so the DEMOCRATIC PARTY are looking for a new CANDIDATE. Kamala Harris has moved and she now wants to be the Governor of the State of Carlifornia. Bawumia was given the same chance as Kamala Harris and he BLEW IT. Because Bawumia was part of the corrupt NPP Akuffo Addo government- Bawumia was the Vice President- Chairman of the National Economic Management Committee and he failed with the collapse of the Ghana economy, hardships everywhere, pensioners money stolen by force etc etc. Bawumia IS A FAILED ECONOMIC MESSIAH. Bawumia to go to WALEWALE like Kamala Harris as Vice President of the USA-gone to Carlifornia. Bawumia-you are a LIAR, you are corrupt as Akuffo Addo.
Excuse me- Bawumia HAD THE chance- He was the Vice President for 8 years but he performed VERY POORLY. NDC Mahama won 57% and Bawumia 43%. The North opf Ghana Regions DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM. The reason why Bawumia had the chance in 2024 was the Akuffo Addo bribing Chairman Wontumi with JUICY CONTRACTS, 450 Million US dollars free loan from AXIM bank, Roads Contract etc-then Wontumi being a fool ditched ALAN KYEREMATEN with the Akuffo Addo Akyem Abuakwa plan-BREAK THE 8 YEARS- It did NOT work. NPP lost in HISTORICAL TERMS. Bawumia IS A COLLATERAL DAMAGE- HE is A MAMPRUSI AND THE BAWKU CONFLICT IS BETWEEN THE MANPRUSIS AND THE KUSASIS- BAWUMIA IS A THREAT TO GHANA NATIONAL SECURITY. BAWUMIA IS ALSO A MUSLIM. THEN DR ADUTWUM IS THE NEXT BEST ALTERNATIVE.9823187439843

These verses of the bible made me a Muslim and A PROUD AND HAPPY ONE AS SUCH. WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT HIMSELF?

1. I am a man (John 8:40)(Mathew 8:9)

2. I am a son of man (Matthew 11:19)

3. God sent me ONLY to the LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL (Matthew 15:24 and Matthew 10:5-6)

4. God is GREATER than me (John 14:28)

5. God sent me to proclaim to the Israelites that He is one and ONLY (Mark 12:29 and John 17:3)

6. God sent me to tell the Israelites that He is the ONLY one to be served and worshipped (Matthew 4:10, Mark 12:30)

7. God didn't send me as a God to be served and worshipped but to serve and worship Him only. (Matthew 20:28)

8. ANYBODY who worship me, is wasting his/her precious critical time. (Matthew 15:9)

9. I never ever claimed to be God because I have God to whom I cried and prayed (Matthew 27:46 and Matthew 26:39)

10. I can't do ANYTHING on my own. I do only what God commands me to do. (John 5:19, 30)

I think most of the Christians followed Paul not Jesus. Muslim people followed Jesus even in the 1st commandments. Jesus is not God and not son of God. Jesus is son of Mary (Maryam) and Grand son of Imran.

HI :

Most Muslims like to quote half Bible verses out of Context.
All the Verses you quoted are out of Context and you do not understand the Bible .

Did Jesus Claim the following :

I and the Father are One.

2. I am the Way , the Truth and the Life and No one comes to the Father but by Me

3, I AM the Good Shepherd ,

4. I am the Door .

5. I am the Light of the World , and he who follows me hath the Light of Life.

6.I AM the bread of life and he who feed on me hath eternal life

7.I AM the Resurrection and the Life

All the above Claims of Jesus was said by Jesus Himself as recorded in the Book of John .

JESUS Christ is the True Living God of the Bible and of the World .

Without Jesus one is Lost forever.

The Quoran and Mohammed do not Know Jesus Personally and intimately as Recorded in the Holy Bible.

Also Muslims Do Not have the Holy Spirit which can help them understand the Holy BIble.

JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN ; JESUS IS THE ONLY TRUTH ; JESUS IS THE ONLY LIFE, ETERNAL LIFE.

The God of the Bible is not the same as Allah , and the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is not the same as Allah of the Quoran.

You ask your Allah who is the True God of the Universe.

The Father God of the Bible help you greatly in the Name of Jesus the Name Above All Names. AMEN.

PLease SAVE me my feLLow Ghanaians, i'm a 24 years oLd Ghanaian Lady that was scammed by some Nigerians, i'm currentLy stranded in Nigeria, it aLL started few months ago when i got a WhatsApp message that a traveL agency in Lagos Nigeria is recruiting Ghanaians and Nigerians for job openings in Canada, i soLd my business and everything i had and kept sending them money for the traveL to Canada, when i ran out of money to send to them, they invited me to Lagos that my visa is ready, when i got to Lagos they took the remaining money i had on me and took my phone and refused to give me my passport that i posted to them earLier from Ghana, i was Left stranded, i sLept on the streets for few days before i got a restaurant that accepted me to be working for them so i can be eating and have a pLace to sLeep, they don't pay me, what i gain is just the free food and sLeeping in the restaurant, pLease i need heLp of around 100,000 naira which is around 800 cedis so i can transport myseLf back to Ghana, my transport back to Ghana is expensive because i'm not with my passport, the transport companies here charge more for passengers traveLing without passport, i promise to pay back the money once i'm back to Ghana and start working, i can aLso work for anyone that heLps me with the money so the 800 GHS can be deducted from my saLary, i know it might be hard to get a singLe person that can heLp me with 800 GHS so i wiLL appreciate any amount sent to me and be gratefuL, even if i receive 50 GHS or Less i can be saving up untiL i compLete the money to 800 GHS.i can be reached on my private emaiL via sanw47354@g m a i l.com as i don't have a phone now, there's a cyber cafe beside the restaurant i work i go to whenever i'm free from work to check my maiLs and seek for heLp on Ghanaweb.

Please, let our children learn the importance of rules and regulations. It is these same people who would cause an uproar should a student collapse and die because they were fasting whiles in school and carrying out the tasks expected of them at the same time.

If they must, at all cost, be part of these faith activities, can they choose to first attend the institutions which have these faith activities embedded in their rules and regulations? Then, there would be no need for all this back and forth about Wesley Girls infringing on their rights. My two pesewas....

The students and their Parents have no case. It has been like that since the Colonial days. If you go to Rome, you do what the Romans do. The Parents and Guardians knew the rules of the school before they enrolled their wards in the school. One has to respect the Moslem tradition of fasting before they enroll at TI Ahmadiyya schools. Parents and Guardians who disagree with the Wesley Girls rules can enroll their children and wards elsewhere. This is just plain and simple.

They choose the schools because their parents' tax money fund them. Anybody whose tax funds any thing in Ghana has the right to enjoy it.

If you can't stay there don't choose that school. Chose where you think you can learn at the same time practice your faith. Why is the Ghana security services not accepting people with tattoos, nose and ear piercing? Why are the security services not accepting people with flat foot? These are all part of entry requirements to maintain standards.

What do you expect from someone who hails from a Christian majority community, or is himself a Christian? The atvasty of cases like this help us dissect the real nature of the people in public space and know their true moral fiber, or chemistry. It means they give their neutral position to where they are comfortable, and not truly independent and fair.
