I will trust a judge with my goats more than a pastor.
Is there any extortionist as vicious as Otabil? Check how he is milking students of his university dry. He even admits unqualified students if only they can pay!

It's not u....you r getting your bread buttered. So u are behaving like an ostrich. This Govt is a waste of space. There is not one thing one can pinpoint that they have done positively. You look at the last Wcup, health, Education, Works and Housing, transport etc. Like Eudipus, the wrong dowers Mahama is looking for are he himself, and his bunch of empty headed corrupt cronies.

The main problem you see in Ghana today is basically not the issue of NDC or any other political party but the mindset of all Ghanaians is at stake, therefore pinpointing Mahama is a misplaced step.

You Ghanaians have always chosen to blame your leaders despite any good things they did. You blamed Nkrumah, Ankrah, Afrifa, Busia, Acheampong, Liman, Rawlings, Kufour, Atta Mills, and Mahama and you will still blame whoever in the future comes to power, because that is your foolish mindset which never tells you that you are all part of the main problem in Ghana. Your mindset is like theirs!!!

When you take bribe at the Tema port, in the court, in the offices etc. When we disobey the police order at demonstrations, is it Mahama? Is it Mahama that asked the judges to do what they did. Is it Mahama who is now fighting Anas for the good work he did for Ghana? At this point, we all need to understand that the MINDSET of Ghanaians is the cause of our nation's sufferings.

With rationality we do not have to put it on the shoulders of one person, Mahama, when you are all aware that your characters and behaviour refuse changes in Ghana. Ask yourself of who in Ghana will like to change from bad character to good one in order that our nation will develop?

About the comments from the Pastor Opuni-Frimpong; we need not to scold him for the good things he stated, instead we ought to ask ouselves if we can join him to start changing our mindset, because changing of mindset is the only solution we have.

In my view the pastor has come out good so we all need to cheer him up for his wake up call. I am aware that almost all the pastors in Ghana have basically wrong God with their way of handling the word of God today. Too much compromises with the congregants makes the pastors not qualified to be called People of God.

The pastors compromise is based on selfish greed, as they only look to what they will gain from the congregants hence failing to help teach the population of Ghana the HARD TEACHINGS which leads to the consciousness of God's principles which is sine qua non to national development as all nations belong to God, whether one likes it or not.

Finally it is our duty to unite ourselves based on good mindset so that we can find our way out of this evil practices going on in Ghana.

The joy is that you read the stuff written but your primitive and village mindedness never allowed you to accept the realities hence the foolishness of your senselessness.

Even the name you gave yourself tells much of the tribal and political bigotry that had clothed you to exhibit your senseless village mind that had not helped you to understand things around you.

Anyway, it is nice to see you living the village way period so that you can disgrace your intelligence wherever you find yourself.

I Are you city or urban mindedness? Perhaps, you are an armed robber and a rapist who love to live in city to hide your nefarious activities. For the fact that you live in city does not make you sensible. Rawlings and his gangsters have lived in cities most of their adult lives, but they are mostlow mindedness and brain dead looters and thieves on this globe.

The sheep follow the shepherd wherever he leads them. When he makes a turn they follow in the same direction. They stop when he stops. Ghanaians are following their leaders. We are corrupt because our leaders are corrupt. If they were not corrupt they would have done something about corruption that has become so prevalent in the society. Or are you saying they are not aware or they are aware but just don't care? They have borrowed too much money but what have they done with all that money? We need some accountability. Even the founder of the party, Rawlings thinks corruption has reached unprecedented levels under the administration of John Mahama and believes over60% of the NDC appointees are corrupt. If Rawlings of all people is throwing punches at the party he founded then what are you talking about? Are you too blind to see and too deaf to hear or too insensitive to feel? Something must be seriously wrong with you if you think John Mahama's hands are clean. President Mills set up a Committee of Enquiry to investigate the purchase of the Embraer190 Jet planes but party insiders went nuts and scuppered the whole investigation idea. What are you talking about? This is not about NDC but about the wellness of our nation.
By the way why do we elect leaders? We elect them to lead so we can follow. Where is the leadership? If we have to do it on our own as you're suggesting then we demand Mahama and the entire corrupt NDC Administration step aside for the people to deal with the problem of corruption on our own terms.

P/NDC High Priest JJ Rawlings must be blamed for all these corruption. JJ Rawlings and his social revolutionaries staged satanic revolution just to dupe Ghana.

JJ Rawlings, the revolutionary High priest himself has stolen a factory at Nsawam that belong to Ghana, That factory is now a property of Rawlings family. What do you expect to get from people who know that this revolutionary High priest is corrupt and a thief ?
You should expect what this corrupt leader called JJ Rawlings did from these judges.

JJ Rawlings is the sorce of all corruption in Ghana. He is the High priest and father of all corruption. Ghanaianas should blame and hold this shameless JJ Rawlings.

JJ Rawlings, the revolutionary High Priest of P/NDC would have killed any one using Bently during his satanic revolution. Anyone rich in Ghana was seen as an enemy of Ghana.

Now, this hypocrite is using Bently and he sees nothing wrong with it. Now, this animal is using everything that is called posh, and there is nothing with it when he and his corrupt P/NDC thieves are enjoying the sweat of others.

May this great enemy of Ghana, JJ Rawlings be judged accordingly. He has destroyed Ghana. The negative imprints this revolutionary High priest has left in our society, it will take years to correct them. He preached virtues, but practices evil and satanism.JJ Rawlings is the most hypocrite who has ever lived in this world.

JJ Rawlings has stolen Nsawam factory that belongs to Ghanaians. JJ Rawlings killed people who committed lesser sins than what Rawlings and his looters have done. He came to save what situation? Was Ghana at that time corrupted than what we see NDC government officials stealing?

Woyome stolen money was shared among P/NDC officials. Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings and her hypocrite husband received $5 Million. Has Rawlings got license to steal because he saved a situation? Ghana has big problems if we have people like you.

Stealing is stealing. Rawlings is guilty of big sins. One day, he will account for his sins against Ghanaians.

The people of Ghana know about corruption. People make noise depending on who is on the receiving end. Leaders refuse to tackle it because of fear of them being exposed. Not discounting what Opuni is referring to. I bet you an NDC member or NPP member, policeman, ceps guy, Chiefs, as beneficiaries of our common enemy-corruption are just scared to start a conversation because of the possibility of they themselves...

I don't know how old you are, if anything we need another JJ, everybody is inferring that a drastic change is needed and this is exactly what he did. As students we were clamoring for change and when he came on to the scene we cried for the blood of nation wreckers, may be enough blood did not flow. This time round, we have the option of changing the government through the ballot box. It is up to us to put the right people in charge.

Ghana will continue to bleed if all Ghanaians don't stand up and remove all corrupt government or public officials. Ghanaians are cowards, that's why public/government officials are stealing government money because these officials think nobody can do anything to them. God loves Ghana but God has done his part to save the country, the rest is in the hands of Ghanaians themselves. We need bold people to take on gov/public officials who abuse their offices at the expense of Ghanaian people.Now I understand why J.J Rawlings did what he did in 1979. Corruption at that time got to a point where he could not take it anymore and he sacrifice himself to safe Ghana, but Ghanaians did not help him resolve the problem, because the very he called to help him fix the situation later betrayed him and did even worst. At the end of the day JJ. Rawlings was blamed for killing peolple for nothing.

Dr. Opuni, I least expected this arguement and advice from you. What of your pastors here and abroad who are parading the street and pockets of poor individuals, taking their monies and scaring them to death with idiotic ideas?
They seem to spiritualize everything yet, they take monies from these poor people and build houses and buy plush cars for their use. Go to the UK and the USA and see how people are using the Assemblies of Name tag in duping their congregants.
I have visited Birmingham, Wimbledon in the UK and Virginia, North Carolina, and Worcester in the USA and seen some pastors of Assemblies of God who did not even qualify as pastors in Ghana, yet they are using the name of God in cheating and hypnotizing poor individuals all over.
I am writing a full article on all of them and will mention their names and show you their houses in Ghana, UK and USA for you to see what goes on in your own garage before you go out there to spew garbage to the public in the name of God to advise the government. SHIT

Yes, you may have a point here, but whom do you blame for this? It's the gullible and undiscerning Ghanaian who thinks giving to the Church will earn him ticket to heaven!!!. Maybe, we need to question the basis for Christianity, Islam and Judaism as well. Until people begin to explore the very basis of the Bible and begin to question the "divine" nature of the scriptures, the pastors will continue to prosper on the backs of these poor people!!!

It is the apostate nature of the Church that have cascaded through the fabric of our society. When the pulpit no more preaches against sin, but only prosperity messages. When the poor and vulnerable are no more respected in the Church, but are treated as infidels who are under the curse of God because they cannot fulfill the demands of the Church by dolling out millions of cedis. The exposed corrupt judges and judicial staffs are the very people who occupy sensitive positions in the Church. They are the most respected members of the Church because of the opulent and successful lifestyle. They are praised and reverend because of their wealth, today God Elohim who is no respecter of persons have exposed their nocturnal activities. Jesus was driven out of the pulpit and replaced with money, the Church is today worshipping in ornate decorated buildings loaded with corrupt public officials whose conscience is seared with hot iron. Drive money away from the pulpit and bring JESUS CHRIST back.

We're told to have unquestionable faith in the scriptures, and dare not criticize the pastors in the church. This is the root of all this corruption in the Churches and the enrichment of the pastors. We need to stop this blind faith thing and question some teachings in the bible.
We should all begin to read other books besides the bible to establish the veracity of some of the stories. Is the story of Adam/Eve and the Garden of Eden historical fact or just a plagiarized work of the mythology of the ancient Babylonians? Is the story of the exodus of the Israelites a historical fact of just made up by some Jewish priests to claim some superiority over all other ethnic groupings? Is story of the birth of Jesus a replica of the birth of Horus, Krishna and Budha? Just simple checks on these will reveal to you the mythology of the Christianity!!

Some Pastors must be blamed for preaching prosperity gospels forcing the youth to acquire wealth which they have not worked for.
People of affluence are not taking some of the Pastors and their preaching seriously. Some of the Pastors are preaching another Jesus which is a curse to them and their followers.
I believe that all or majority of the Judges involved in this malfisance were church goers. Either they were so proud to give their dirty souls to Christ to wash in His blood , or they were fed poorly by their religious ministers.
The whole Gospel is Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. Think about that. Sir.
That is the Gospel.
Think and thank God for Christ who bought us with His blood.
Not what you drink, eat or wear.
Prosperity message is killing you Pastors and the Church.
Please preach the Great message of the Cross.
What the Judges were fed with from their ministers, that's what they portrayed to the public.
In short those Judges and their Pastors are the same.
Repent now.

Indirectly u are telling Ghanaians that President Mahama is a thief, diatribe of this kind will not help the nation, this is about the Judges so why Mahamas name ,u are equally as guilty as the posters u spoke about.

The love of wealth at-all-cost is the fundamental problem. The very fabric of our society is corrupt. My recent visit to my dear country left me in shock: At the airport personnel on duty were asking for money; in the market sellers raised prices to milk Burger; people poised to be friendly just to get money from you; may God help us!
