Hardships could give way to military action – Nkrumah
Sekou Nkrumah Hands
Dr Sekou Nkrumah says government’s approach to addressing the country’s economic challenges could invite a military takeover.
Speaking on Okay FM in Accra he said that indecisiveness on the part of the presidency coupled with the erratic supply of power and water is an indication that the country is in an absolute mess.
It is glaring that the actions of government are compounding the already terrible situation rather than addressing it, Dr Sekou Nkrumah is reported to have said.
The third son of Ghana’s first president cautioned that the prevailing circumstances could lead to serious disturbances, akin to what transpired in Egypt and Tunisia a few years ago.
Shortage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and the unreliable supply of power and water, he noted, were the legacies of late President Atta Mills.
Against that backdrop, he advised President John Mahama to desist from acts that could leave the military with no other option than to intervene.
President Mahama can only avert a military action if he humbly announces his resignation, Dr Sekou insisted.
Dr. Sekou Nkrumah announced his resignation from the NDC in last year citing bad economic policies.
He publicly endorsed Nana Akufo-Addo of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them.

"According to Bishop Benny Wood, the trip is “crucial and important because if we believe that pastors are doing a good work then any work to encourage and strengthen them is equally good.He added that the trip would help “the pastors to be bold and be strong in the Lord”.
What is really wrong with Mahama? He is taking Ghanaians for fools and there is going to be takers like this Benny Wood and the likes of the Obinims who will avail themselves of this opportunity for a nice vacation that comes with $10,000 per each individual as a per diem apart from their accomodation and transportation.
Does these con men and fake Bishops have to go to Isreal to be bold and strong? Will that cure their kleptomaniac ways and sleeping with their church members?
Mahama should be tried and remove from office for abuse of power if he goes ahead and allow this nonsense to happen.
Mills and NDC did this before where the NDC Pastors were given $10,000 to spend in Isreal as a per diem. Ghanaians should take their tribal blinkers off and see what they have imposed on themselves, a clueless, unintelligent, corrupt and a womanizer despot called Mahama.

The American industrialist, Henry Ford, was once asked to donate money for the construction of a new medical facility. The billionaire pledged to donate $5,000. The next day in the newspaper, the headline read, "Henry Ford contributes $50,000 to the local hospital." The irate Ford was on the phone immediately to complain to the fund-raiser that he had been misunderstood. The fund-raiser replied that they would print a retraction in the paper the following day to read, "Henry Ford reduces his donation by $45,000." Realizing the poor publicity that would result, the industrialist agreed to the $50,000 contribution in return for the following: That above the entrance to the hospital was to be carved the biblical inscription: "I came among you and you took me in.

While there is no electricity,water and school children studing under trees this good-for-nothing government is sponsoring a 2 million +trip for Religious leaders to Israel to pray for Ghana. Where in the world has such a thing happened.And these equally good-for-nothing and unethical Pastors are accepting the President's offer. Has the Pastors fogotten that no matter where they are the Good God would listen to their prayers.This puts in question if they do believe in what they preach that no matter where one prays God will listen. Praying in Israel means nothing to God and he would listen to the supplications those who feverently call on him? It is not prayers for the country that the President and his advisers have in mind but to BRIBE the religious leaders for something else. Thank God the Catholics have found the President's trap and will not fall into it for they are real God's people. May the Good Lord raise His mighty hands on them and bless them for having discovered the machinations of the DEVIL and did not fall into his trap.

The Ghanaian leader President Mahama might have conceived a vision to support christian pastors . And President perception might be godly to some extent . To advance the cause of christian ministry..so to the godly minded person its carry meaning . But to the ungodly minded ... who thinks of his what he sees, hears and thinks .. this strange headline will be infuriating... at a time when .. the nation cannot even solve its energy , galemsay , and manufacturing crises.
Ghanaian Muslims pays annual visit to Mecca to stone Demons.... when all right thinking faithfuls belives that to be hoax...
Therefore if US$ 2 MILLION from state coffers is to be spend to sponsor Christ Ambassadors to visit the Holy Land ... its a God given ryt.
Let consider God Mercy over Ghana.. NO CIVIL WAR,
NO RWANDA SLAUGHTER
,NO TSUNAMI
NEW OIL AND GAS DISCOVERY
MUTUAL HARMONY IN THE MIST OF NPP,NDC
POLITICAL IMPASSE...(remember Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria)
So as everything has its season ... let stop insuling the President see what will come out this landmarl proposal to sponsor 200 Pastors to the Holy LAND of ISRAEL ... to fulfill .. Jehovah has been gud to Ghana as nation... He provided us UN Sec. Gen. Kofi Annan, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah .. and Africa without Ghana is not Africa
The only nation on the continent that a sitting America Black leader President Obama's and his family donned ... snubbing his fatherland KENYA .. so let consider godly perspective of GOD GOODNESS TOWARD US

THIS OFFER IS SEEN BY MANY GHANIANS AS BRIBE FROM THE PRESIDENCY. THE LATE PREZ MILLS USED TO PRAY WITH MINSTERS OF GOD HERE IN GHANA. FORMER PRESIDENT KUFFOUR DID PRAY SEVERAL TIMES WITH PASTORS HERE (IN GHANA). WHY DO YOU, AS MANY AS 200 WANT TO SPEND $2M DOLLARS TO TRAVEL TO ISRAEL FOR PRAYER?

I am still frankly at a loss as to why the president and his government will be paying for pastors to go to Israel. Is it for a conference? Is it anything that relates to how they can contribute to society and national development? Is it for them to "bond" and be given some lessons on how to be more responsible citizens and of better service to their communities and Ghana? If it is purely for "spiritual awareness or experience", then I simply think this is a complete waste of tax-payers' money by the government. What is it that they will experience 'spiritually' in Israel that they cannot experience at home? It seems to me there is something missing in the story about what the purpose of the trip is and I wish I could be enlightened. From my own personal experience, spiritual experience can be gained anywhere if you prepare yourself properly and 'are in the zone'.
About a year ago now I was invited to give a lecture to pastors who had gathered at the UNDP offices in Nairobi, Kenya. The topic was on their role in promoting good nutrition and health in their countries and how they could support country level nutrition programmes that impact their communities. This I thought was a laudable venture and I supported it. They came from 18 different countries across Africa.
But in this case, I side with the Catholic Church if it is true that they are asking their priests not to join 'the expedition'. It is true that there are spiritual experiences that people experience when they go on pilgrimages all over the world. But what have these pastors done to earn such a 'free ride' in this case and if they wanted to experience 'spiritual awakening' then why don't they plan their own trip and pay their way? I welcome government trying to work with the clergy and civil society to promote harmony, tolerance and peace, but I doubt if this gesture will foster such a relationship. I also seriously doubt if such a trip will change mindsets among certain 'Christian Groups' and their attitude towards government. I find it curious that the so-called "Concerned Clergy" are putting their weight behind this trip. Am I missing something? Somebody please help me.

What kind of government is this. If you Mahama cannot govern this country get out and let a better person who has vision, who has the nation at heart taken over. What kind of nonsense is this. You bribed the EC which almost turned our country into chaos and now you are bribing Pastors to pay for their trip to Israel. Please pastors becareful with this wicked Mahama. If you failed to deliver what he wishing for after the trip there is consequences. What he did to EC is what he is trying to do to you now so please open your eyes and let God guide you. They have been in power many years and nothing of that sort happened and if it was not the pending case of voting irregularities at the SC Wicked Mahama will never sponsor any Pastor to Israel. SO WHY NOW. WHY NOW. WHY NOW. This scandal with the EC has brought us to this situation which almost brought chaos to this country and are you Pastors going to allow the devel Mahama penetrate into your mind to allow this country ungovernable. The devel Mahama and his cronies NDC planned wanted to plant seed in the heart of you Pastors to send you to Israel that you can preach to your congregations to support him.And if any of you dare make that ttrip, you are just ad guilty as the EC.

This State-sponsored pilgrimage supporting 200 pastors to undertake a trip to Israel is a waste of our nation's money. And should not take place.
Bishop Prince Benny Wood' s pitch that the trip would help "the pastors to be bold and be strong in The Lord" is weak and self-serving. He and his 200 pastors obviously don't care about the fact that many Ghanaians have problems with meeting their water and energy needs. The God of Israel will definitely not look on those making this pilgrimage with favour and divine guidance.
President Mahama would do well to sponsor 200 engineers and environmentalists to watch and study how the nation of Israel is solving its water and energy challenges.
While in Israel, the 200 Ghanaian scientists should visit the following:
The Besor Restoration Project to learn about the effective streams restoration, the Multi-year Water Allocation System (MYWAS) whose aim is to achieve the most efficient water resource management possible, Gomeh Reservoir near Kiryat Shemona that provides 530 million gallons of water each year to farms in northern Israel, what about the Sderot or Haner Reservoirs, located in the northwest Negev, where these two recycled water reservoirs provide a combined capacity of more than 860 million gallons piped to farming communities.
They can help us with green technology, and tourism.
When you look at the top 10 countries in the world in terms of agriculture, technology, medical breakthrough and culture, Israel makes the list. Let us send our youth there to learn about their incredible success.

Can we demonstrate against this NDC government and president? Who's in? I think everyone who feels strongly about the current mess in Ghana should make his or her voice heard.

Thieves and greedy bastards.
Mahama needs intervention to emancipate form Mills's soul hunting him. I can tell that Mill's soul is reincarnating through mahama.

The insentivity of the African is staggering. Why can't live our leaders and pastors live like the Pope. The Pope travels economy, takes the bus and cooks his own food. Modesty is key.

THIS IS SAD. IS THAT A PASTOR, NO WAY NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WORD OF GOD THAT IKNOW. IF THE PASTORS MEAN TO PRAY FOR THE NATION THE TRUTH IS THAT THEY DO NOT NEED TO GO TO ISRAEL.

this money to pay your fares to lsrael

What did your Ten Commandment says in
the Bible? Dramani Shame unto you.

As l see it Mahamas soul is worried
thats the most reason he is sending
pastors to lsrael to pray for his soul
Your time is limited for you to leave
the seat.
Who said it is only special individual alone that could communicate with God. Remember the Pharisee and the tax collector? The powers or secret in prayers lies in faith, Shall we come together with much dedication that deserv ...

After all the monies collected and 'extorted' from the poor, not so poor and the rich, let them pay their way. Especially when government gesture can be sen as misplaced or can be misunderstood.
EVEN A LITTLE CHILD KNOWS THAT GOD IS EVERYWHERE. THIS IS BRIBING CORRUPT PASTORS. THIS IS SAD, REALLY SAD. HOW HOSPITALS HAVE NO EQUIPMENTS , CHILDREN ARE STUDYING UNDER TREES AND WE SPEND THIS AMOUNT ON A FANCY TRIP?
I know believe northerners can't govern period. Mahama is empty headed. Why using our scarce resources to fund such useless trips. I am so angry
what happened to Limann will happen to Mahama but in worse proportions. The man is feeling the pressure
sucking blood from the people
Northners like all of us can govern. It is wrong and smacks of tribalism to make such a statement. Stick to the issues and avoid calling names and castigating tribes. This has everything to do with the President and not the p ...

Some of theses pasors do not think about the country period.
THE TRIP IS CRUCIAL AND IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF WE BELIEVE THAT PASTORS ARE DOING A GOOD WORK THEN ANY WORK TO ENCOURAGE AND STRENGTHEN THEM IS EQUALLY GOOD. THE GOSPLE ACCORDING TO BISHOP BENNY WOOD.
I thought prayers were done when someone intends to make them. How can the government bring a bunch of pastors to the Holy Land without even knowing whether they intend to pray or not. You can force a donkey to the river but ...

Why is is that in all these kinds of situations, there are always some idiots who will support them.
How many bold, strong and outspoken
Israeli pastors have you heard of in
the world today. Mahama stole the
verdict of the people,God is truthful.
He won't reverse the truth.
Seriously, whoever came up with this idea is is a dumb ass. Ghanaian politicians we'll always find a way to waste our scarce resources.
This is the epitome of incompetence
i've read this news couple of times from different angles hoping that it was just one of the "fake" stories. but it seem there is some truth in it. if it is for real then...........ahba!!!!!!!!!!
What evil at all has Ghana done to God, to merit a cash-thirsty, evil-currupt,inefficient and destruction oriented bunch of wicked ndc thieves?
God bless the president of Ghana for opening this door of pilgrimage to the holy land. Any nation that connects to Israel will be blessed. This is one way of getting connected to Israel.
