  the problem with this northern mentality is that thanks to jj they now all have an unquenchable thirst for power but never to serve in a team or accept their fellow countrymen . just look around in Accra and study the majority of the businesses owned by these northerners and in the majority of the medium and Small sized businesses you notice they only employ their fellow northerners and practically never employ an Akan . Today in Accra the largest religious building in the country will be the mosque being build on our national park at Nima donated by Turkey confirming the Islamic domination of Ghana. Tribalism mixed with chauvinism and despotism from the north has now equaled the hegemony of the ewes . A.C.C.R.A any criminal can roam about so we have them everywhere now . even at the scholarship secretariat hardly ever is an Akan awarded the privilege to go abroad and study now . The Akans are the majority but because most continue to sleep or blindly trust the other tribes these atrocities are taking place . We look at the political strategy of the NDC and see the typical Hannibal wench when he turned the strengths of the mighty Roman army against themselves as they are doing to the Akans . From the south they use part of the Fantis and from the North the Brongs , from behind we have the chariot onslaught of the Gas Ewes Krobos. Yes the political landscape reflects a war which is only meant to destroy the right of self governance of the God's chosen nation of Africa the Akan . For them its a big deal who leads the NPP but we really don't care as our movement grows stronger by the hour as more and more Akans wake up to reality of this dire situation . We did not ask for this war but we will fight it and be victorious as God is with us . Long live the Republic of Akan

  LINELINESS IN GOD:
  
  This topic depict itself in the lifes of those who dwells in the Lord for their believes of the genuine scriptures of Christ Jesus. This is one of the reasons governments have no reasons or authority to legislate or tries to operate things of faith within their powers. Hence the adage goes, the Lord works in mysterious ways.
  
  Deducing for instance, the life of Jacob( The original Israel) by the mouth of the angel of God almighty. Not just him, but many like David and Abraham went through Jacobs sexual machine lifestyle. The sexual rendezvous or orgies of Jacob(Israel) was so tremendous, it need to be brought open to reveal certain ways of men of God. Not because God Almighty sanction the lifestyle, misfortunes of human errors and lack of self control lead them into such manufestation to produce examples of life and their outcomes. Many a times preachers ignores such insight making their sermons half true.
  
  Israel the original, had three sisters rotating them from monday to sunday in his bedroom. A man who marries same bloodline tapping them one after the other to the extent of enjoying even their maids. In total he was gamating more than or atleast five woman in a week. The righteous man of those days. I guess he did not know about Adam and Eve were the only partness from the beginning as the Lord Jesus Christ said, when that question was put before him. This sexual promiscuities of Israel lead to twelve children, most of them were not used by the Lord in his messages. The one that was used look like a trouble kid in the eyes of his brothers and became lonely until the Lord used him to give the rest salvation in the days of farming.His name was Joseph.
  
  Do not underrate your salvation in Christ Jesus, because that is your escaping plan on earth to the Kingdom of God. Love is a good thing, so faith and hope, their actions leads to salvation all the time and in any circumstances. Do not allow the theoreligions(THEO...LEGIONS) to skew the gospel truth for the dilution of proper understandings that can help one into proper obedience of the scriptures. Salvation guides preachers to proper interpretations of the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ, else the scriptures can be interpreted into various self interest gospel.

  I am just going to read if the NPP did such a foolish act,but(as "Larry, Tema" writes):You seem to be have misplaced priorities. You are not governing, but pleasing the shameless religious elite who extort money from the weaker people in the society to enrich themselves. Trust me, this is not a good strategy to win political votes. You are going to be judged based on the assessment of the poor living conditions that majority of Ghanaians are going through. Do not take the people of Ghana for granted. You need learn and be advised from, by and with historical facts of people's reaction when they been mashed in ill health and pverty.

  All international transactions are made in foreign currencies yet still the BoG has issued directives to quote all transactions in cedi terms to stabilize the national currency. There is therefore no reason why this year’s fare for pilgrimage to Mecca from Ghana should be quoted in dollars. The reasons adduced by this paper for quoting the fare in dollars therefore smacks of hypocrisy.

  This is stupidity at it's highest level. It is very unfortunate that at this time when our economy is in shambles and we cannot even fathom what to do, we continue to waste the tax payers money in setting up unnecessary pilgrims affairs secretariat. The question is, is that one of our priorities? Sometimes, one cannot imagine as to who are the advisers of the president. Instead of using the brains to turn the economy around for good of the country, all they do is setting up useless and unnecessary committees, secretariats, commissions and projects that do not benefit the country. God bless Mother Ghana.

  The government is very busy tackling irrelevant issues, leaving the weightier matters. Ghana is suffering partly because some people appointed as ministers are now going to school.How?

  Mr. President, it seems you don't know how to govern. Religious activities are private matters. Why don't you set up an office to help with setting up libraries across the country. There are critical issues affecting the living conditions in the country that should be of prime concern. Why don't you set a secretariat to identify and bring from overseas talented Ghanaians to join our local counterparts to build the country just as we bring our foreign players to blend with local players for our matches. China, India, Malaysia, Bangladesh have succesfully invited done this. You seem to be have misplaced priorities. You are not governing, but pleasing the shameless religious elite who extort money from the weaker people in the society to enrich themselves. Trust me, this is not a good strategy to win political votes. You are going to be judged based on the assessment of the poor living conditions that majority of Ghanaians are going through.

  Why don't you set a secretariat to bring together all private schools at all levels of education and help them on how to advance their contributions to the country instead worrying about pilgrimage. What a hell is this. Are you getting out of your mind? Please, if you are not sure of how to govern, just bow down from office. You will not be first and the last to make such a decision.
  
  There is a simmering anger building up and will soon explode like a sleeping volcano. You upsetting everyone with your lack of vision and poor judgement on how to grow a society.

  There ought to be a separation between church and state. The government should not be establishing a secretariat to oversee muslim pilgrimage to Mecca. That should be the responsibility of the Ghana Muslim Council, if there is one. By this action, the government is seen as playing favoritism to the muslims, because it is the only religion that embarks on a yearly pilgrimage.

  Mr. Mahama, have you lost your sense of reasoning? Your priority is completely wacky. Pilgrims Affairs Secretariat is of no importance at this juncture to Ghana considering the crucial economic hardship facing Ghanaians. In the past many years, Muslims had been making pilgrimage to Mecca for their annual gathering without any problem. What in the hell then, Mr. Mahama, do you have to set up a Secretariat for Pilgrim Affairs. It is useless and of no benefit to Ghana because pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia etc. has never been a problem in the past and now to Muslims. What I think you should think about now is how to get the economic developments in Ghana moving again and how to improve the sub standard living conditions for most Ghanaians.
