Let me answer this plainly, without dancing around the issue:
You cannot enter a Christian institution and then demand that the Christian institution stop being Christian. That is the heart of this debate.

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.
So, this is what the likes of muntaka want to be encouraged i Christian schools? Preaching and teaching suicide?
Frankie, you have said it all.
Will the Muslim community gladly accommodate a Christian, get to the Muslim Nigeria and you will understand. Any Muslim who chooses to study from a Christian college should be ready to abide by the rules for in that particula ...

Stop the nonsensical comment. I went to Abetifi Presbyterian secondary many years ago; we all had to obey the rules including going to church on Sundays.,and evening that same day. Your faith didn't matter.
That is stupid. The popes enter mosques and the chief imams enter churches. It's not a fight. The Bible and a Christ did not preach forcing people to be Christian or practice Christian faith . God gave us free will and human ...

I like NDC but Mahama got it wrong by putting you in that most sensitive ministry as Minister of Interior. May Jehovah turn His anger on you such that all Ghana shall know that He, the LORD, has dealt with you!
We are all correcting pretty colonial mistakes. allow the poor minority to have their freedom
I encourage the Christian based schools to start rearing pigs and using pork to feed the students, and I bet you the so-called Muslims who desire for Christian schools instead of their Muslim schools will run away
Mr minister you should've been diplomatic a bit in your pronouncements. I think you should have met the relevant stakeholders and thrash things out. Your comments may not help either way.
