THE USELESS NDC PARTY IS TURNING ONE TRIBE AGAINST ANOTHER
TURNING ONE RELIGION AGAINST ANOTHER
THERE WAS EVEN AN ATTEMPT BY ATTA MILLS TO poison football clubs with politics just for the SELFISH INTEREST of the USELESS NDC PARTY.
Everything that units us as a peaceful nation is under attack by the USELESS NDC PARTY. Before they divide Ghana and leave us in shreds VOTE THE USELESS NDC PARTY OUT IN 2016.
We have lived peacefully without any TRIBAL OR RELIGIOUS POLITICS before the USELESS NDC PARTY WAS FORMED and their manifesto signed with blood. We don't need any division in Ghana. WE ARE INTER-MARRIED, AND WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. NDC IS DANGEROUS, VOTE THEM OUT IN 2016.

Since when did the issue of prayer became an issue in Ghana's education? I went to school with many many muslims in preparatory school, St. Augustine's and Legon and never heard of any complaint. I attended all muslim occasions with my friends including the favorite 'Kyinewia' with no problem other my friends jovially calling me Kabonga. So since when did it dawned on anyone that, religion, school and the constitution should tell me or my friends what to do or not to do in a school.
This is the NDC trying to cause us, Ghanaians to hate each other on religious grounds. The issue is simple. Almost the best schools are christian owned and they are run according to rules. If you can't follow it, don't go there. The government schools are available. The constitution also grants individual owners of property the [r]ight to determine how its used.

This has nothing to do with NDC. We all need to be very vigilant because this sounds like an external agitation to turn Ghana into Nigeria.
If you do not like the rules of an organisation, you must not join it. Imagine the confusion if all the non-Catholic students at say St Augustine's decided that they will not attend mass. This will mean that the school will have to provide religious accommodation every day for fifteen to twenty different religions.
When you apply to attend a specific school, you know exactly what the terms and conditions are for admission, so if you don't like them, don't go there. There are more religion-free government schools than religious schools. Attend one of them, and leave the religious schools in peace.

I told you guys! This president is useless. There is nothing he can do to get Ghana out of the problems they have put her in. With the value of our currency, the cedi, still falling, the useless young man is saying Ghanaians, not him, are foolish. Ghanaians are foolish because they can't tell if they are suffering or not, somebody from outside will have to speak for them.
So Ghanaians, you don't have any problem. Your pipes are flowing with water constantly, power supply is constant, you live in a corrupt free country, your currency, the cedi is doing wonderful, fuel price is very affordable, your hospitals are fantastic; even Atta Mills patronized them till he died, your cities are squeaky clean; garbage on the streets is a thing of the past, misappropriation of state funds is just fine, don't complain. I mean, you are just doing fine, if you complain again, we will scorn you, especially, if you are someone with a disability. Just shut-up and listen to outsiders, because they pay for the food you eat, the petrol you buy and bear your pain when you are sick and you are asked to go home because hospitals don't have beds to admit you. THIS IS THE IMPLICATION OF THE STATEMENT MADE BY THE MAN WHO IS SPEARHEADING 'better Ghana Agenda' If this is what it is, WHY DON'T YOU VOTE HIM AND HIS USELESS FRIENDS OUT IN 2016?

Yes ,Boko harem is already in the flagstaff house .After the murder of Mills these pepeni Muslim mafia criminals still believe they are above us and continue with their tribalism tactics to make we Akans second class citizens and slaves in our own country .Go to any Muslim country and you you will find out that sooner or later your life will be in jeopardy , your wife will be immediately forced to comply with their customs and ways and eventual be covered up in a burke. Here they now mount a campaign to justify their plans to establish boko harem as they know mahama will not even make it to the end of his term because of some fake discrimination accusation.
time for talk has passed , we will drive their evil Islamic mafia corrupt fake ass religion out . my cutlass is ready , we all know boko harem came only because a christian rules Nigeria and we in Ghana will have boko harem when we boot this pepeni idiot of a president out . we have already prepared ourselves for the final solution of war . Where was this CODEC and one Ghana when pepeni mahama was appointing his cabinet , over 75% of his high ranging officials are northerners , Muslims or ayigbe criminals ? They want to lynch some old Akan man because he dare raise the question of this injustice based on the fact that over 86% of the wealth belongs to the Akans . Where was the codec when the minority have begun to try and abolish Christianity in Ghana and force the catholic clergy to openly reject their stupidity. Everyday thousands of Christians are being killed in moslem dominated or controlled societies and in their continued wicked agenda show this bad taste by making unreasonable demands so they can justify later their stupidity and cause us to regress into the middle ages . ITs time to stand up and reject this govt , we should now not make it impossible to govern but also impossible for them to even move around safely

This is all part of the U.S.A.'s New American Century plan to control the world. In order to succeed they needed a permanent war, so in 2001 they made Islam Muslims their permanent enemies simply because they are in every country, and can be co-opted to do anything that America wants them to do.
America started this hegemony crusade by demanding that all countries adopt western style democracy. This has made it very easy for external forces financed by the U.S. to interfere in the internal affairs of nations through the so-called colour revolutions. This is what is happening in Nigeria. America is behind Boko Haram. When a country loses its internal cohesion, and infighting starts, it is then easier for neo-colonialists to come and steal its natural resources without fear of revenge because the country will be too weak to do anything. This is what is happening in Libya.

A citizen wants the highest court of the land to determine whether Muslim students should be forced to attend Christian services in Mission schools. Commonsense tells us that there are rules governing every institution. Why should the Parliamentarian stand up when the Speaker is entering the Chamber of the House. If we are not careful we will wake up one day to see some of our Military and Police women in JIHABS dropping their caps and the Cote of Arm in the name of religion. Ghana - Think and grow.

u didnt complete the verse.. it says "Believers, take neither Jews nor Christian for your friends and protectors. They are friends and protectors of one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship and support them shall become one of their number. Allah does not guide the wrong doers" This is simple you people are sinners and worldly loving, we are enjoined not to take u as our protectors , otherwise u will influence and corrupt us with your sinful deeds. It's akin to telling your kinds not to have bad friends. But with the education, its for all of us. It's for Ghana. No church owns a school in Ghana. Even if a church owns a school in Ghana it cannot overide the constitution with its bi-laws. God bless you buddy

Raj, you are not serious, are you?

Question: Raj did you know you parents’ race, religion, place of birth etc before you were born?

If not; you are born where the axe will fall. You will be lucky if you were born with a silver spoon in the mouth like some of these Arab princes.

Question: Why would you enroll your ward in a school called St John’s, St Mary’s, St Augustine or St Louis?

Raj, to know full well that a Catholic, Methodist, Anglican, Ahmadya etc institution collides with your strong medieval conviction that Christians are non-believers, I urge you not to send your wards to such institutions and later turn around to complain of their constitutional rights. Your strong medieval conviction are appalling to say the least. I am not religiously intoxicated but were I to be in your shoes my kinds will go to hell before I send them to a registered Christian school. By the way, your kinds are not your property.

Question: How do you find consensus if you strongly believe Christians are non–believers? Education is supposed to enlightened not to send you back into the Stone Age.

I think you know the meaning of BOKO HARAM? Western education is evil - so why education at all? You have zero tolerance on other religion but you expect others to accommodate your hard-line Quran verses without any overtures? This is where we part company even though my tolerance level is very high. Look, I have high tolerance level but not for religious fanatics be it Christians, Jews, Muslim Jihadists who are trying to hijack religion for their own latent agenda. You cannot reap where they have not sown. As it stands now; one can see where all this is heading right? Like they say; Give them an inch they take a yard, give them a yard they take a mile. What will all this come to and where will it all end?

Raj, St John’s, St Mary’s, St Augustine or St Louis etc these are clearly Christian mission schools or institutions and the government sponsorship does not take away the core or fundamental principles and ethos on which such institutions or schools were built. You are not going to change that, it is uphill battle and it is also the constitutional rights of these schools and institution to maintain their original integrity.

We cannot turn our schools and institutions into religious battle field or cherry pick as it pleases us. Just as in real life, we sometimes have to swallow a bitter pill or bit the bullet even if it is not with us.

There is no reason for any student to skip or cut morning assembly on religious grounds. Where does it begin and where does it end? The school is not a place to play hooky due to ones beliefs and there should be no exception to the rule.

Muslims spend their money on jihad to destroy innocent lives. They won't build schools and hospitals.

Mission schools have their mission to achieve, and expect all their school studentsto put up discipline that will enable them to achieve what is in their Mission Statements. If you can not abide the rules and regulations of mission schools, just get out.

Who can go to these Muslim country to demand his christian rights. Christian schools should stand firm on their principles. They should not give in to theseno-good Islamic religion that will eventually turn against everybody.

Muslims are trouble makers. A Muslim who has denounced Islam has been sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia. Black African Muslims mind are seared. They don't know what they are fighting for.

Muslims should stop spending their money on jihad and used it for good course. Most of the jihads are sponsored by Saudi Arabia, the evil empire.

All the insults and counter insults in this issue, is a disgrace to mother Ghana. This issue must be handle with good care not to disturb the peace we are all enjoying in this country. The issue of boko haram in Nigeria, started just like this, and has now degenerated into social nuisance. There is the need for freedom, human rights, as enshrine in our constitution,we agree. However, in our pre tertiary institutions, school authorities are tasked to, holistically train our young ones. There is no way these authorities can satisfy each and every students in their institutions, hence the need to have some CONVERGENCE. We are, on the top of our voices shouting Human rights! Human rights!Is it not our rights to go to bed at will? Are we allowed to do that in our boarding institution? Is it not our right to dress the we want, (material,colour, size, etc.)? Are we allowed to do that in our schools? Is it not our right to choose our own venue for taking our meals? Are we allowed to do that in our schools? If its about the constitutional right, then let us allow student to go to bed at will, sew their uniforms the way they like, go for dinning if they like. This issue worship goes beyond Christian Muslim religions. The court may open a flood gate onto school authorities, if this issue is not handled with care. Because, other Christian religious denominations in our schools will also rise up for the same rights, claiming the schools' ways of worship do not conform with tat of their church. Traditionalists will also rise up.I can go on and on and on. It will be too chaotic. My suggestion is that, do what Romans do, when you are in Rome.

It is a choice to attend those schools and people are not forced to go there so, they should simply adhere to the school's ethos. The other option is to leave the school.

Please don’t start this in Ghana! We are peace loving people. If you don't like one place due to a religious practice just go to another place. Nobody can force anybody to stay where he/she doesn’t like. There are many mission schools, including Islamic schools. So if one is not comfortable with Christian schools just don't enroll in that school. Just enroll in where you like. But don’t force established institutions to stop practice something that has worked for the society for several years. We should not entertain such things that grow into terrorist acts. In Ghana everybody is free to attend religious practice as he or she believes. Please don't let us descend that slippery road it will not help the country.

Dear Country men please be very careful when dealing with these issues. You may wind up declaring that it is unconstitutional to read the bible in schools and also to pray. We have a sad history in the United States of America where Mrs. O'Hare took the U.S. Government to the U.S. Supreme court and won to remove prayer from the schools and now what we have in the schools in the U.S. is school kids going to schools with guns and shooting other kids. When Christians pray in the Name of Jesus anywhere we drive away the evil one. The moment prayers were taken out of schools the evil one took over the schools and we have carnage in the U.S. schools. In the U.S. we solid evidence that there has never been any gun killings in any Christian schools. All because with Christian discipline and with daily prayer in the schools there is discipline in the hearts of the students and the evil one also is banished by prayer from bringing gun violence in their schools. So my country men think twice and do allow the constitution to trump over the bible or the Koran. Let us use the wisdom of Elijah by allowing any religious organization who wants to do anything go ahead and do what they want to do and in the end you will see that the Christian God will win as in the case with Prophet Elijah and the Ball worshipers contest.

What is happening in Ghana now is very dangerous. NDC and their tribal tactics now turn to religious tactics is becoming very dangerous. Our Moslems friends have study in mission schools ever since and have complied to all mission schools regulations, why do they now raise alarm? Do they convert after leaving school? Were they forced to attend mission schools. Some even intentionally chose mission schools because of their moral decipline as well as their academia. Do they think decipline is food served there? No its the kind of training including their religious values. Till now I've always have respect for our Moslems brothers to be most moderate but I'm beginning to believe, they are peaceful because they are minority in our society.
What Moslems would end up achieving is the very discrimination they claim they are fighting for. What about no mission school ever admit any Moslem in the first place? The mission schools have been thinking of opting out of government institutions. Now when they become private what wld the government do. If only our president could think before talking, we wld not have come this far.

NDC must stop this propaganda,violence and this dangerous brainwashing. Mind you Akans are 70% of the Ghanaian population in Ghana and probably 80% outside Ghana,a ratio of 8 to 1.Asem beba dabi

Ameen scientific herbal clinic does Nt operate in de early hours on Fridays no matter hw emergency ur condition might be simply bcos z a Muslim institution but it is de right of every Ghanaian to receive medical care at any tym and on any day. If one chooses to go there on Fridays, you can't claim your right there and force them to attend to you, the same applies in missionary schools, you can't force them to change their regulations to favor you....in St. Louis SHS, b4 gaining admission into de sch, we r made to read the regulations of the school and assess if we can abide by those regulations, then you go ahead and sign a bond to obey the rules of the school. Our muslimm brothers have been in these schools for long and have been tolerant, so what has gone wrong? Please lets all continue to live peace. Shalom

Factually, muslims in Ghana have been forced to attend church against their will, be it missionary schools or government schools. Dambai college of education, is a government school but we the muslims were been forced to attend church against our will. We were forced to make collections in the church and also to abandon our faith some times. It's time we come together as ONE and condenm this act collectively. FAITH

Christians and Muslims in Ghana have been living in peace and harmony for time immemorial until NDC government started its threat to heads of institutions .
If Ghanaians don't care, we will be heading towards uncharted territory. Religious conflict is the last thing we need in Ghana. Don't blame anyone other than Omane Boama and co. for such unguided pronouncements on this issue.

Turkey is in the present day Europe and partly in Asia.
•Apostle Paul was a citizen of Turkey because Tarsus exists in Turkey.
•Christianity existed in Turkey for about 1,023 years while Christianity has only existed in Nigeria and Ghana for 172yrs starting from when Rev. Birch Freeman came to Badagry in 1842.
•The seven churches Jesus spoke to in Revelations 2 & 3(Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea,) existed in the old Turkey.
•The disciples were first called Christians in Turkey(Antioch)
•Turkey once had the largest Christian auditorium in Europe called Hagia Sophia in Constantinople.
•Mary the mother of Jesus was taken to Turkey by Apostle John and till date, her room has become a tourist centre.

TURKEY TODAY

•Present day Turkey now has 96% muslims & 0.02% Christians(less than 130,000).
•The Hagia Sophia(once largest church in Europe) was taken over by muslims and converted to a mosque for over 400yrs and later used as an Islamic Museum

WHY CHRISTIANITY COLLAPSED IN TURKEY

•Emphasis on doctrinal differences weakened the Turkish church.
•Rivalries amongst denominations
•Petty politics in church coupled with ethnic biases.
•The Turks were building big cathedrals instead of building men.
HOW IT HAPPENED

•Osman Ghazi discovered the disunity amongst Christians and used it to fight a Jihad that led to a mass genocide of the Armenians, the Hellen and Turks of that day. In fact, the weapon of war used was designed by a Turkish Christian.
•Many Christian women converted to Islam to save their lives and some were raped and killed.
•Osman Ghazi started the Ottoman empire which gave muslims political post and made it a religion of the state.

IS NIGERIA/GHANA HEADING THE WAY OF TURKEY

•Virtually all the mistakes the church in Turkey made, the Nigerian/Ghanaian church have made it.
•We are building Cathedrals at the expense of discipling men.
•Disunity amongst churches
•Ethnicity in the church
•Denominational rivalry, etc.
•Sharp division along doctrinal lines

MORE FACTS

•The spiritual foundation of Turkey is stronger than that of Nigeria/ Ghana and Christianity existed for over 1000yrs in Turkey unlike ours which is just 172yrs but Islam Radicalism uprooted it. If it can happen in Turkey, it can also happen IF we are not careful.
•The menace of Boko Haram has destroyed a lot of churches in the Northern Nigeria and it may take another 200yrs to evangelize Borno State alone.
•There is a secret agenda to Islamize Nigeria and other African nations as contained in Abuja declaration of 1989.

DON'T SAY IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE, IF WE DON'T RIGHT OUR WRONGS AS A CHURCH.

SOLUTION

•HEART-FELT Intercession
•Aggressive evangelism- the terrorist reached out to the youths in the norths first and gave them AK-47 and bombs, if we had reached out to them on time,
they'll be carrying BIBLES today.
•Mission support:-God is holding the church responsible for Boko Haram, yet we are blaming the government. If we had supported missions and
missionaries, we would have those insurgents to Christ long ago.
•Unity of the church is key in winning this battle. The last but not the least christians should be actively involve in politics. Enough of these muslims political office holder with islamic agenda.

ARISE CHURCH & LETS DO THE NEEDFUL

Please, send to Bishops, General Overseers, Pastors and all Christians on your contact list.

May God bless you as you spread the Word.
