I think you have taken us for imbeciles, and you are making Ghanaians angry. Some of you are either hopelessly idiotic bootlickers or have IQs far below that of an old village donkey. Look, this morally corrupt character fleeced this poor country of millions for drawings and you are here writing trash??? And slimy Ghanaweb is also publishing this??? Sometimes, the editors of Ghanaweb should use a bit of their skulls if they don't heads. You are publishing this trash here??? You cannot think beyond your noses?? If Ghana was a serious country like many civilised countries, Adjaye should have been in Nsawam by now.

MAY GOD FORGIVE NDC FOR THEIR CRIMES AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF GHANA!!!!!
NDC HAS IN THE PAST OPPOSED EVERYTHING
GOOD THAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS COUNTRY. TO MENTION A FEW, NDC OPPOSED THE NEW BANK OF GHANA BUILDING WHICH HAS BEAUTIFIED ACCRA SKYLINE, THE JUBILEE HOUSE WHICH IS THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT, SYNOHYDRO, FREE SHS, DRONES PROJECT AND MANY MORE. THIS
NATIONAL CATHEDRAL WAS
GOING TO PROVIDE JOBS FOR THE YOUTH. AS A TOURIST AND SPIRITUAL
SITE, THERE WERE GOING TO BE LIBRARY, RESTAURANTS, ADMINISTRATION OFFICES THUS PROVIDING JOBS FOR MANY. WE COULD TALK
ABOUT OTHER JOBS SUCH AS CLEANERS, TOUR GUIDES, GARDENERS, ETC.
ETC. NDC IS VISIONLESS, INCOMPETENT AND PURE EVIL. MAY GOD FORGIVE NDC FOR THEIR CRIMES AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF GHANA.

Prince, did you say, "...NDC HAS IN THE PAST OPPOSED EVERYTHING GOOD THAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS COUNTRY..." because they refused the NEW BANK OF GHANA BUILDING? What is more important, the INDEPENDENCE of a country or the BUILDING of a central bank? Ops! Sorry, NPP would choose an ID over thousand INTERCHANGES. Also, party T'shirt over ROADS...
Please, let stop this TRIBALISM and be CITIZENS. This is not necessary.

@ andrews don't be jealous of Adjaye. Of those world acclaimed projects and very recent at that Ghana's project would seem to be the least rewarding. You can talk of his repugnant sexual life which God also abhors but don't minimize his work. Please Arc Adjaye continue to make Ghana proud. In Jewish history and scripture, Cyrus the Great is treated as a hero even as a Messiah.
After Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Solomon's Temple in 587 BC and took the Jews to Babylon, they were in exile for about 50-70 years.
In 539 BC Cyrus conquered Babylon. In 538 BC, in his first year, he issued what the Bible calls the *Edict of Cyrus / Edict of Restoration* — recorded in 2 Chronicles 36:22-23 and Ezra 1:1-4: The LORD God of Heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and has charged me with building Him a house in Jerusalem... let him go up to Jerusalem... and build the House of the LORD God of Israel."
What he did:
1. *Freed the captives* — allowed Jews to return to Yehud (Judah) — the Return to Zion.
2. *Funded the return* — not just permission, he gave silver, gold, livestock, and money to buy building materials.
3. *Returned the Temple vessels* — the gold and silver vessels Nebuchadnezzar had stolen from Solomon's Temple were sent back with them.
4. *Authorized the Second Temple* — which was completed and marks the start of the Second Temple period.
For that reason:
- The prophet Isaiah calls him by name 150 years before his birth and calls him God's *"anointed" — Messiah* — _Isaiah 45:1_. He is the *only non-Jewish figure in the Bible to be given that title*.
- Jews praised him in scripture as a savior to whom God gave power over other kingdoms so that he would restore them to Jerusalem.
- The Cyrus Cylinder — clay inscription found in 1879 now in the British Museum — confirms his policy of returning displaced peoples to their homelands and restoring their temples.
Secular historians also note it was rare magnanimity — most conquerors kept exiles as slaves. Cyrus reversed that. So yes — for Jews he is not just a Persian king, he is the liberator who ended the Babylonian Captivity and made the Second Temple possible.Please God used a non Jew to bring restoration. Don't mix Adjaye's rotten lifestyle with the National Cathedral project. It will be built for its spiritual significance for Ghana all these nearly 70yrs of nationhood and what the Christian people who have stood in the gap for this nation all these years. Remember Ebola is still killing people in DR Congo and when ebola and covid 19 rears itself again you cannot stop it.

Dear, thanks so much for this Biblical narration. As for these NDC fool-soldiers, the least said about them, the better.
Let them continue to stay in their foolishness. Ghana will definitely move on without them!
