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 everything i had and borrowed from a Lot of peopLe 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 seized 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 go back to Ghana, my transportation back to Ghana is expensive because i'm not with a 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 1 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 WhatsApp via +2348080471602, this is my workmate's number, i don't have a phone, when you chat, teLL him you want to chat with Sandra, pLease heLp make my story go viraL so i can get heLp faster by posting my story on your Facebook and WhatsApp groups, i need to return to GH as soon as possibLe, i'm suffering here.

The day Muslim population will reach about 40% of Ghana's population is then that we can see what they can do. While the Muslims will come with one voice on issues, Christians on the other hand will be fighting each other.

Why is Bawumia-the MUSLIM KING hiding from the Wesley Girls Muslim terrorist and unprincipled demands????? Bawumia is a NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT TO GHANA. Apart from Bawumia being a COLLATERAL DAMAGE MUSLIM, Bawumia is a Mamprusi who are fighting the KUSASIS. WE want peace in GHANA. A WORD TO THE WISE IS ENOUGH. Ghana Electorate-BE WARNED. NPP Delegates-BE WARNED. I blame the Akyem Abuakwa Akuffo Addo Tiny population from the Eastern region of Ghana. Alan Kyerematen was sacrificed for a MUSLIM, who is a NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT TO GHANA.
You are a TERRORIST. Your bloody FANATIC ISLAM attacked and slaughtered to death innocent Jews in Israel in October 2023. Are you NOT ashamed of your SUICIDE BOMBERS killing innocent God chosen Jews in Israel. Your Islam is a FRUSTRATED Religion. Your bloody Islam is creating havoc currently in Nigeria. Your bloody Islamic blood thirsty animals are abducting innocent school children in Nigeria only last week about 600 innocent school children in their Boarding houses. Are you mad? Are you NOT ashamed? Nigeria is in State of EMERGENCY because of Islam. We do NOT need Instability in Ghana. Islam-GO AWAY, ISLAM IS A SHAMEFUL ANCIENT Religion. ISLAM IS A BACKWARD Religion. We need freedom not coercion where girls are forced to wear HIJAB. Instability in Niger, Mali and Baukina Faso because of Islam. Instability in Sudan because of Islam-GO AWAY-GO-AWAY.
Ghana IS A CHRISTIAN NATION and we the CHRISTIANSB ARE THE MAJORITY. We cannot let the MUSLIMS come and control the NATIONs AGENDA with supporting MUSLIM nations by force because they are MUSLIMS but have got bad GOVERNANCE. You cannot practice your CHRISTIAN religion in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait etc etc-So Ghana voters be warned. Muslims will kill or stone you to death if you go to their countries to even read the Bible. You the Christian will die.
The NPP MPs have ignored the sentiments and the sensitivities of a certain number of VOTERS. These types of VOTERS are the FLOATING VOTERS. Without the support of these FLOATING VOTERS, you cannot easily win elections and that was why NPP AKYEM Abuakwa CRIMINALS Akuffo Addo tried THREE TIMES. The FLOATING VOTERS DID NOT WANT AKUFFO ADDO ARROGANCE AND DISRESPECT. WAIT AND SEE HOW MANY TIMES BAWUMIA WILL BE REJECTED. ASHANTIS WILL NOT VOTE FOR BAWUMIA MASSIVELY BECAUSE BAWUMIA IS SEEN AS AN AKYEM ABUAKWA TINY POPULATION STOOGE.
THE BATTLE LINES ARE DRAWN AND WE WILL SEE HOW MANY TIMES BAWUMIA WILL BE DEFEATED. BAWUMIA WAS THE HEAD OF THE NPP GOVERNMENT ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE. Therefore,
Bawumia cannot claim innocence of Ken Ofori Atta borrowing over £51 billion dollars and looted and looted them all. Bawumia professed himself as an economic messiah and he brought Ghana economy to its knees with the masses suffering and Ghana defaulting on it's international loans and interest payments obligation. That was why Ken Ofori Atta went to the IMF and the World Bank Cup in hand begging and the NPP AKYEM Abuakwa CRIMINALS instead of bringing their looted money devised a plan to STEAL GHANA POOR PENSIONERS MONEY AND GOVERNMENT BOND HOLDERS. BAWUMIA WAS TOUTED AS THE ECONOMIC MESSIAH. UNDER THE ECONOMIC MESSIAH GHANA BECAME A FAILED STATE. HMMMMM. COUPLED WITH TANI EASTERN REGION AKUFFO ADDO ARROGANCE AND DISRESPECT IN REFUSING TO REMOVE KEN OFORI ATTA WHO WAS A FAILURE.
Exactly-But who was the NPP Economic Messiah? It was DR Bawumia. Who was the Chairman of the National Economic Committee? It was Dr Bawumia- Who was the Vice President for 8 years-IT was Dr Bawumia-HE IS A FAILED ARTICLE.
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. In the UK, it is the same-they VOTE ON TRIBAL LINES AS IN THE USA. Ghana VOTE on TRIBAL LINES
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.
Obama mother is A WHITE WOMAN. It is because Obama mother is white, that white people considered him as closer to a white tribal line than Kamala Harris whose father is a Jamaican black man and her mother is a black Indian woman. White people saw that Obama was a moderate person and very well educated with a Harvard Masters Law Degree. White people saw that Obama did not have any small bad record. Like Obama is like a SAINT. White people saw a certain good and moderate trait inherited from Obama white mother and white grandmother who actually brought Obama up. These are the reasons why the whites voted for Obama party coupled with the fact that Goerge Bush junior has made USA go bankrupt for the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war. America economic problems started with the over spending in these unnecessary wars. It ballooned the USA national debt and made the USA GDP to Debt ratio for the first time passed 80% Mark. The Republican party unpopularity and other factors helped Obama with his smooth talking and no bad background record allowed Obama to win. The WHITEMAN and woman in the USA did not want the Republican party again at that time in history.

Why do some Shia pray THREE times a day and not FIVE
Why do the Ismaili pray 3 times a day instead of 5?

Why do some Shias pray three times a day?

Couldn’t we ask Sunnis the same? Why do you separately pray all five prayers?

But, of course, since we’re in the minority, we are questioned. This should be expected, I guess.

However, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed both ways, thrice a day and five times a day, to show Muslims that both ways are permissible.

Additionally, (keep in mind, I’m not trying to start some war here, folks) isn’t praying thrice a day more convenient? Pairing up the prayers saves so much more time, and is much easier for the average person who goes to school and/or works, and has a busy everyday schedule.

But, let me make one thing clear - Islam tells us to be Muslims. Not Shias or Sunnis, or any other sect out there. Neither Sunnis nor Shias are right, because we do not obey Allah's order of not separating into different sects.

Why do we argue over how many times a day we pray, even though we all pray five prayers, when there are much more pressing matters, such as why these sects even exist?

Paraphrased from Maulana Kumail Mehdavi’s response to this question.

ALL SHOULD KINDLY FACT CHECK PLEASE

Several Muslim-majority countries have banned or restricted the hijab, particularly in public schools, universities, and government buildings. Notable examples include Tajikistan, which banned it completely in June 2024, and Tunisia, which had a ban in public institutions since 1981 (though partially lifted in 2011). Other countries with restrictions include Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkey, with bans in educational or government settings.
Tajikistan: Banned the hijab completely in June 2024, citing the need to protect "national cultural values" and prevent "extremism".
Tunisia: Banned the hijab in public institutions since 1981, though some restrictions were lifted in 2011.
Azerbaijan: Has a ban on the hijab in public schools and universities.
Kazakhstan: Banned the hijab in public institutions, citing reasons of public good and security.
Kyrgyzstan: Has banned the niqab and hijab in public schools and universities.
Turkey: Gradually lifted bans on the hijab in educational and government institutions.

Please please Muslim parents and their wards, you don’t have to go to Wesley Girls or any well recognized school with good grades to be successful in education. Please stop disturbing our educational system with your nuisance. Muslim parents, educate your children at Ahmadia SS or any institution that will tolerate this distraction. Go and pray 40 times where it is acceptable and leave the Christian institutions alone . You are just a bunch of trouble makers in this world. I F YOU’RE NOT AWARE, PLEASE STAY IN YOUR LANE WHERE YOU ARE COMFORTABLE TO STUDY. If the Christians give in to your religious demands today, the next thing we will see is the entire school hall ways will be guttered with’Bootah’ kettles , just like what Oauttara , the President of the Ivory Coast has brought filt to Abidjan . BOOTA all over city road sides. A very smart student doesn’t care where he/ she goes to school.

These are teenagers who need a leader to guide them them in practicing their Islamic faith like patrons who are usually teachers in the case of Christians . Allowing them to be meeting will soon demand that more Muslim teachers be posted to those schools and soon they will start converting some Christian into Islam. The best thing is to avoid choosing those schools. After all some prominent Muslims in Ghana did not attend mission schools. This will also Challenge them to start putting up some great schools especially in the northern parts of Ghana which they can easily do and the government will give them the same assistance. Let the great chief imam , Dr Bawumia and Haruna Idrisu start this move and ask for sponsorship from the rich Islamic countries now.

They shouldn’t think that we are not aware of the grand Islamic agenda of “taking over” and enforcing Islamic values on communities and nations. Their own people have said it openly in UK. Check on YouTube. They will never succeed in Ghana! Let their children go to their Islamic schools and be free there.

What has the traditions of those schools brought Ghana. 149 years of those school and we are still importing virtually everything on earth. Until we integrate more and work together, we will continue to be at where we are. What has fasting by few students who identify themselves as Muslims and want to fast during Ramadan got to do with the values of mission schools? If those schools were formed with the sole aim of denying Muslims admission, they should state it clearly. But once it’s a second cycle institution, every Ghanaian will expect that it will be tolerant and respect the faith of other religions. Please missionary schools should just state clearly that Muslims are not welcome

Moslems will give jobs to moslems only and christians will give jobs to christians only, if that is the direction u want the country to go? The fact that u own something doesn't mean u can make your own rules that contradict our laws in the nation.

I disagree with your argument, Dr. Afriyie.
Look, between the two parties, Muslim students and the Christian faith based schools, the burden of flexibility and accommodating students of other faiths lie with those faith based schools more than anybody else. After all, they were the ones who, without any coersion, accepted the conditions of the government when they WILLINGLY applied for government subvention. So, even though you're entitled to your opinion, an opinion based on twisted facts lacks legimacy. How do you accept a bilateral agreement and later turn around and subtly abrogate the agreement under the pretext that you're out to protect your Christian doctrines? It's as if someone is telling Gey Hey to throw out their principles. It's even more ridiculous to argue that merely allowing Muslims to fast and observe their daily prayers tantamount to forcing Gey Hey to stop being Methodist Christians. This is a betrayal of an agreement and recalcitrance at It's best
