A Japanese man was boasting about how his country had such advanced medical technology. He said, "We take the lungs out of a man, perform an operation, put the lungs back in, and in 4 weeks, the man is looking for work."
An Englishman said, "We are far more advanced than you. We can take the heart out of a man, perform surgery and have him ready for work in just 3 weeks."
The Irishman says, "That's nothing; we can take a kidney out of a man, put into another man's body and have them looking for work in 2 weeks."
The Ghanaian says, "Well hell, that's nothing'. We had an idiot taken out of Northern Region, put in the Flag Staff House and now half the country is looking' for work!"

You can not just insult your leaders like that even if you are displeased with them. You are bush and uncultured. For your information that man from the Northern Region will rule you till 2016 and beyond

Say it the way it is. Our leaders looked at us and think we the tax payers are all fools, so we have to call them out if we feel they are also fools. They steal our money, send their children overseas for school, drive in better cars, eat good food and drink better wines with all our money, whiles the little tax payer live in poverty. The leaders are fools.

Mike you are not addressing a rational thinking being. Don't waste your time, he has no aim. He doesn't think about the future of his children and their children. All he thinks about is a little roll of wee or akpeteshie and a pocket money for the day, and he will even put his life on the line for those taking us to the abyss.

Rev. Otabil, this is a basic knowledge; there is no human being who does not plan before embarking on an action! The priest, the Kayaye, the President all plan. Planning does not necessarily entail writing on a piece of 9paper the activities to be undertaken for a given project. The Kayayo plans before commencing his daily job. All you speeches are coloured with politics, why? PREACH SALVATION.

The problem with us is that, we think little and insult deeply. For insulting the President of Ghana and where he comes from, you hvae lost a household of votes. It is disgusting the level of intolerance some of you show at the slightest opportunity that you get. Can you imagine, my dad is Akan and my mother a Northerner. I grew up in Tamale but I am called Kwesi. How dare you insult one of my mother's kith and my President too. When the NPP looses elections, it is because of some of you. You make people hate Akans and it is sickening to say the least. Please change for your woes would be many if you stick to this line my friend princewilly

Dude, a joke is a joke. If you're thin-skinned you can't be in politics. See how much the U.S. president, any of them, has to endure? Our president didn't die from your joke so relax.

Well said pastor Otabil, but how many Ghanaians will listen to wise counsel? We have allowed the so-called charlattans to called prophets to destroy the nation and its family principles. Instead of planning they allow these illiterate so-called pastors to deceive them with never to come miracles. When they fail, they attribute it to one's mother, grand mother etc. Never had it happen that the father, uncle or grand father is a wizard but always old women. Meanwhile, women are the ones who follow them. Church leaders should educate like you are doing instead of becoming political liars like Rev. Asante Antwi, Rev Mantey. Let Ghanaians listen to you.

Grow up people. Mensa Otabil has better and more important things to do than waste his time reading your insults and other nonsense you write online or serial call-in on radio to talk about. He's busy enlightening people, raising leaders, building a university and orphanages, helping cancer patients, giving scholarships to needy people and making productive use of his time and life. Wake up and go work.

Try these:
What is your plan to tackle GMO?
Do you have any plans to check climate change?
What plans do you have to make Ghana a better country, other than hoping for the impossible to miraculously happen?

The Minister was spot on about planning. Stop putting politics into everything he says. We Africans do things haphazardly and expect results.

The reason why we heard about Kwesi Annim was because of PLANNING. He PLANNED to applied to ALL the Ivy Schools, instead of 3 or so. He was not the top of his class, but he was the one we heard about because of his planning.

As someone living in the West, you need planning for your FUTURE, MARRIAGE and kids. Take his advice and plan well for yourself and Kids and let's hope, people will hear about your kids later.

Wise up and stop politricks.

Is he really empowering the brain dead Ghanaians to use the brain that God gave them to think, plan and better their lot on earth? Other con men with the bible in hands will not like this. They would prefer to keep Ghanaians brainless so that they keep robbing them of the little resources they have.
Is otabil being remorseful for stealing from his followers? Hmmmmm...only the devil knows!

The state Ghana definitely has a plan and our governments have followed the plan. The Mahama administration have had a plan and they are strictly following it. Things may be difficult now and so we might be on their necks calling them names. But what will all of you insulting this administration do if things turn around anytime soon? Will you be genuine to make complimentary remarks? Maybe someone should tell Pastor Otabil to slow down. He might just be working against God's will.

From when Gold FM used his voice to campaign Nana Addo and the NPP up until now, Pastor Otabil has used unkind words that are unlike a man of God. He went even far to play down other pastors who prayed for the Cedi to be stronger. One wonders if he isn't Christian anymore! Anyway, sometimes, bitterness make people do things out of control. For me, Pastor Otabil is close to his end and he might end in a state that history might call him bad names after all the very good things that he might have done.

My counsel to Pastor Otabil. Stop focusing your sermons on Mahama and his administration. You should by now know that God made him walk freely to where he is and he might just be using him for a purpose that you vision isn't able to picture. He assisted a sick candidate to win election. He succeeded as President and went ahead to beat Nana Addo at a time all thought it was Nana's chance. He went through the supreme court litigation and came out clean. Something should tell you that he is not walking alone and your continued indirect attacks on him through your sermons are unchristian Pastor Otabil. Some of us like you, but your ways make us wonder is the devil isn't finding work in your heart. Please turn around and pray for yourself to be sober in order that you can revert to your good self and continue to pray for Ghana. God guide you to see the light and change. Amen.

Please stop putting words in the mouth of the revered man of God. I read his sermon and did not see any reference to President Mahama. Shouln't men of God preach again because NDC is in power? If you think the president has failed, deal with that and stop twisting the excellent sermon delivered by this respected man of God.
