    Asking for T. B. Joshua to be arrested? Even if Affail Monney is more intoxicated with drugs than Nana Addo he would not dream of saying this about the man of God. Please don't bring a curse on Ghana!!!

    Bomber, you cannot be a Journalist and spell "MUSHROOM" as "MASHROOM" and "SECURITY" as "SUCURITY". I agree with you though on one thing:The level of the Ghanaian Journalist(of which you are one) has fallen into disrepute.
