.Mahama(a Gonja) is following the prescriptions of OIC.You remember a Muslim MP from Gonjaland declared that adulterous women should be stoned to death. Again Boko Haram in Akyem terrorized Muslim women for buying food from Christians yet the IGP(a Gonja Muslim) kept mute. Muslims burnt down a Christian mission house in Atebubu yet the IGP was again silent. AMA banning churches in classrooms, Northern Regional Minister accusing the Christian clergy of encouraging politicians to be corrupt. These are all plans aimed at suppressing Christianity to please the OIC. These are all indicators that Mahama is feverishly handing over Ghana to the Organisation of Islamic Countries for Money. We should remember Islam is useless without direct state support and so Mahama is providing that support to Muslims to grow in Ghana whilst at the same time suppressing Christians. He is doing this because Islam as a religion is useless without direct political/government intervention.

There is a place where you can be sure that you would find a representative (MP) from every part of Ghana year round gathered together to deliberate on the future and the current state of this country. Where is that? Parliament house of course. If there is such a place then how should the place and the people there be treated in the scheme of things? What priority should such a house be given in the governance of the country? If there is such a place then what kind of people should we send there and how should we assess their performance? The clerk of parliament must keep an accurate record of the representatives (MPs) who vote for or against a bill.

There is land for additional units of accommodation in Sakumono and this must be used well. The government must renovate all accommodation for parliamentarians in Sakumono.

We must not allow hateful feminism to take root in our public lives.There is one republic and any attempt to partition it will not end with just feminist groups on one side but other small useless groups will also pop up to de m and special and preferred treatment. There is one Ghana with one anthem for all, if they don't like it they should migrate to U.K and see if they say try those nonsense in the house of commons.

It is only the African woman who wants to be European have a problem from the Africa man who wants to be a white man. That trend is learned from whites who came to Africa without their women as they were anti women, and when they left, the black man entered their shoes.

Africans from the beginning of time believed it takes two energies to run a society so they had God and Goddess. Many queen rose in Africa without men feeling threatened.
Up till today in many African cultures the African woman is the king maker and with her no king can mount a throne.
So who says the African woman's power is threatened? Is it The lesbian hard core Europeanized African? Singing women's anthem composed by Europeans? How sad a black woman thinking she has no power when all power belongs to you but you just don't know 'cause you wanna be less of yourself.
The European society is an anti female society and just gave voting rights to their women just about 60 years ago.
The AFRICAN WOMAN is the vote and had been making decisions since the dawn of time fifty thousand and more years ago.
Those African women who want to reduce themselves in to a baby culture are free to reduce themselves.

I, as an Afr Amer male, in this present life...flew from Los Angeles, California, US, in 2002, to Ghana. First flying across the US and up into England. Then across the Mediterranean Sea, then across Northern Africa to land at the door-step of a Vodoun priestess, age 92 then, in the Keta-area of the Volta Region. I sat in her shrine with a Ghanaian man, whom had once lived in my birth-city in the US for nearly 30 yrs. She ask him, in Ewe, does this man know where he is now, whom he is? My host laughed and told her, "He has known whom he is since 1975! As I knew I was in my maternal ethnic group's home-base, near my GH relatives and my true Hometown. The elder priestess was too happy.

She summons her adult children, around 5 of them, to her Vodoun shrine. They were dressed in their 'good Christian' clothing, I in African traditional clothing (the irony of it all). The non-English speaking priestess told her adult children to look at themselves. Having turned their backs on their culture and spiritual-side to favor the white-folks shallow religious system and "education". Here, standing before them is an Afr Amer man, whom has been detached from West Africa, via hundreds of years of relatives before him born or brought by force to the Americas...detached from their true selves. Yet a man AWAKE enough to know that one can NEVER truly be detached from one's bloodline people SPIRITUALLY but can be such mentally and physically. So in 1975, at age 23, this man tapped into his true system, the 1st Spiritual system of Mankind...Vodou. Finding both his maternal and paternal ethnic groups in today's Ghana, the two clans, his bloodline family and his personal Deity. No DNA-tracing needed.

Well, you know the rest, the priestess children were truly embarrassed. They probably felt their Ancestors were nothing compared to white folks Ancestors.

The priestess children were victims of massive mis-education...still going on across Black Africa today, as we speak.

See the video on Youtube, JOURNEY OF MAN. Some few whites know the African Woman is the mother of ALL OF MODERN MANKIND!

=============================

Black men born inside of Africa, in this life, RESPECT YOUR WOMEN of all ages. She is Africa's Gift to the world. She is the first teacher and nurturer of your children. Without her, Africa and the rest of the world is nothing.

RESPECT! If one want to take all of Africa (an act of WAR), the first thing one's would want is not the gold, diamonds, men, children, bauxite, uranium, oil, rubber, internet access or real estate! The FIRST thing one wants are the WOMEN! Ask those militants in Boko Haram if I am correct?

Respect your women if you have to die for them...they are your GIFT.

I, here in the US, far more than not, find disrespect and argumentation for my Black women born in the US, for so many generations. The mis-education, foreign organized religions and government welfare systems have us like enemies towards one and another. The damage is done in the US. All you have left is Black Africa...value your women inside of Africa before we lose them too.

I rest my case. Thank you.

Women in parliament should know that the same vote that sent the men to become MP's is the same that sent them there. They all took the same car, house, salary etc equally. This is because the Parliament house is not for a particular gender to introduce anything new as the house is Ghana but not any gender.

Why sing women anthem in Parliament when you are in Parliament to make laws? This is just ridiculous! Has this lady heard of her men counterparts sing men anthems in Parliament?

Hmmmmmm! Oh it happens in parliament and you are complaining. Just imagine what happens at other work places, and know you have failed the woman race. Face reality. Don't expect anything womanly from a man.

The African continent and for that matter Ghana has a major problem and that is the whole sale borrowing of western culture without considering the implications of it.The whole issue of gender activism is a western backed idea that has been swallowed hook and sinker without due consideration that sociocultural dynamics in the west is completely different from the African continent.I am not by this saying women's empowerment is bad.But when we begin to promote feminism in the nation of gender equality because we want to counter balance gender discrimination we will be in for serious trouble in the near future.It is a nice idea to promote gender equality but it must be done with caution and tact.In terms of education,socioeconomic status,economic empowerment,qualification and job experience,men in Ghana with all due respect far out number women by a very wide margin.For example if the Affirmative Action Bill proposing for 30% representation for women in all field including parliament becomes law there is a huge possibility of unqualified,misfit and incompetent women taking the place of otherwise competent men in the name of gender equality with disastrous management and productivity the obvious outcome.Talk about parliamentary representation and we can be sure of constituencies who will not have a single woman to adequately represent them.I am talking about adequate representation here with competence and expertise to represent and serve constituents as true legislators rather than mere spectators or pedestrians shouting 'yea, yea on the floor of parliament.Northern Ghana is a target of western donor money in lieu with government with programmes as Girl Child Education as part of women's empowerment very much on the ground.The Sissala East MP Alijata won her seat on women advocacy platforms and gender discrimination, naturally so because women are the majority and far more better organized in Sissala East.Has her performance been satisfactory enough by way of simple conduct and ethics not to talk of ability as an MP worthy of emulation by young girls, since we are singing about women's right in every corner in Ghana?In deed she has been an absolute disaster and feared monster terrorizing the constituency.Most of her victims have been men including her own husband perhaps because she is for the same ideology of feminism and sexism inadvertently embraced and misconstrued as fight for gender equality.We already have a lot of square pegs in round hole in this Country and if care is not taken with this idea of women's empowerment of Western backed gender activism,the Country ill soon find itself in anarchy.I am for it with the believe that competent women are naturally good managers but can only be cautiously optimistic as it is becoming a rush programme needlessly aimed at catching up with men.

Please watch MGTOW on YouTube and see what feminism has done to the American society.
Now women are rising against feminism even more than men. Now men are opting to go alone as there is nothing in marriage or any form of collaboration with women. Birth rate is going down.
What caused it, women asked for anything with the feminist strategy and they were given. Now they used it against men to the extent that men are just cash machines. Men are now fighting back by being organised and women are complaining. Just watch Mar c Rudovs videos on youtube. If we want a broken society and it's implications in Ghana, then we can continue otherwise let's thread this path cautiously.
