The NDC would have to explain to Ghanaians how a dead man came to author and sign a letter!

The opening paragraph states, “I came to serve; I have finished my time here on earth and have moved on to everlasting rest and celestial duties with my heavenly father.”

The immediate question is; how did the dead man come to sign his own personal tribute, since he is already in heaven?

The letter then goes on melodramatically, “As you leaf through these pages of my life’s story, I pray to God that it touches your heart in many positive ways. Weep not, I am not dead. I am alive and awake in the Lord. Ghana will not die; Ghana will live to declare the works of the Lord. As I rest in perfect peace in the celestial realms with my maker, I pledge to always uphold and defend the good name of Ghana. Remember the Lord in all your ways and He will protect you. Stay well my brothers and sisters, I will always be with you. Signed (with actual signature) John Evans Atta Mills...

Nedebugre, is this is a writ about non-compensation as a result of compulsory acquisition or one about the violation of community rights in relation to the "desecration" of their shrine?
If it is one about non-compensation, I could understand that. However if the people of Vea is suing contractors about a shrine and in so doing obstruct their own development, then they represent all the negative forces of counter-development that our country should be fighting so hard to eradicate. This is real trouble!!!!

This is all the machinations of Mr. John Ndebugre. He has run out of funds and wants something to do to get some funds. He is however going about it the wrong way. I believe those rocks have nothing to do with shrines. It is John Ndebugre who put this into the minds of the chiefs. Like you, if I were in Government, we just stop things there and bring the project elsewhere. Period.

If this story is true, then I have to bow my head in shame. In this day and age some people thinnks so weirdly? Worshiping a rock? How? How s t u p I d, can some people be? If the rock has any power why can't it defend itself? They then say they lack development! Their whole mind is not developed, to acknowledge that what is being done is for their benefit.

If the rock has powers let it defend itself instead of the people sueing the IGP. If the rock cannot defend itself how can it help you?

This is a step in the right direction by the people of vea. My problem concerns the final year student of a University who was shot and killed. Why has it come to this? That, the contractor and IGP couldn't employ dialogue as a means of reaching concensus with the people of vea. Different people have different religions. The christians have christianity, muslems have islam and the traditional people also worship the traditional religion. So, what was the crime of the people of vea to have protested against the blasting of their shrine? Honestly the contractor, the police who shot Gideon and all those who have their hands in this crisis must be made to dance to their own music. This is abuse of the fundamental human rights of the people of vea and be condemned in no uncertain terms. Those of you who are against the people of vea, i am totally disappointed in you. What is all this? Put yourselves in the shoes of these people and see how it is.Shameful that some people refuse to reason logically.

If you want compensation for the land, it is reasonable. However, your of rock been a shrine is backward looking. Advice your client to be forward looking!!!!!!

Is Ndebugre an animist or what?For an educated person like him to back the call of the people of Vea to have rocks declared as shrines is laughable.What about if the government passes a legislative instrument to take possession of the land.It appears sometimes lawyers go in for the money and nothing else.Ndebugre's stand is a typical example.Democracy is a curse for Africa.Even animists are claiming that their rights are being infringed upon.

A church or a mosque is also just a pile of rocks, so why can't their shrine also be rocks?

Isn't that part of government property?

Whoever heard of an owner of some property compensating others who have had the privilege of using property that does not belong to them in the first place?

Fools; rock serves as your shrine, and what does those shrines do for you? Do they put food on your table?

In the 21st century, you are still worshipping rocks, when we need those rocks to develop our standards of living.

Gen Mosquito where are you now ? They see they can not rule so need the npp to share in their shame . Ali baba alajih ministers have no solutions and instead of coming out and saying so they run around blaming everybody but themselves , NDC what have you done these last 30 years. . After seeking counsel with the thief and traitor kuffuor you now realize he is just as incompetent and destructive as you are .birds of a homosexual gay flock together. your days are numbered and each day you loose more respect and gain greater hatred for the unnecessary hardships you are causing the people .Long live the Republic of Akan

Such traditional sacred areas should be respected by all means because most often they serve to unite the citizens of the area. Mount Nyanaw for instance is of great historical importance and should be protected and used as tourists attraction area like the castles. Also the former war paths should be marked, developed and used as pilgrimage roots.

Most of the comments here are racists in nature. People are looking down on their own culture in the name of enlightenment. I pity these dumb-heads.
