If men of God sit down idle for foolish leaders to have their own way, we the less privilage people in society would not forgive them. THEY TALK ON NATIONAL ISSUES AND CONTEST FOR PUBLIC OFFICES.
I hold that the reason for corruption in Ghana differ from one social stratum to the other - those in high places on one side and all others on the other.
While pure GREED and INHUMAN feelings account for corruption in peo ...

YOU MAY BE RIGHT REVEREND,BUT NOTE THAT IT IS MOSTLY THE ELITE & PRIVILEDGED WHO MOSTLY STEAL FROM THE NATION,INSPITE OF THEIR JUICY EMOLUTIONS.IT IS PURELY SELFISHNESS,GREED,& APATHY TO OTHERS.
The argument started as we're riding from Accra to Tema via motorway, and my contribution has been very clear and blunt to the others who had deep knowledge of the sewer we've found ourselves.

We have heard more than enough of this talking.Everybody is talking about this and that.Why not act to arrest these problems rather than talk ?
THEN HE prez MUST LISTEN TO THE ECONOMIC-WISEMEN like DR BAWUMIA and other NPP economic-gurus to arrest the problems.
WHAT DOES THE RT.REV.SAY ABOUT STEALING OF COLLECTIONS FROM HIS CHURCH
Did you read the story carefully,go back to it b4 you comment.Or probably you thought it was only against your party.
Though, everybody is entitled to his/her opinion, we should be circumspect about what we say in the public. Ghanaians including most intellectuals lack critical thinking. Does that means the ex-president Kuffour Ghana's Ambas ...

How can a government be run by people described by their leader as greedy bastards, evil dwarfs, babies with sharp teeth etc? How can a leader accept the fact that he is visionless, planless and continue in circles? All thing ...

What about corruption in your church. When corrupt members brings the corrupt 10% of tithe you accept it. What about that one too.
Let us all support the church to say what is right or wrong in the society. Our silence or condemnation of people who come out to criticize wrong doing is what has brought about all this chaos in the system. Now the society a ...
