My friend, there's no difference between believing in witchcraft and believing in Christianity apart from the fact that one is for good and the other for evil. Even the bible warns us about principalities. The trouble is some people would be wrongly accused of witchcraft but there is no scientific way of proving spiritual things

Ghanaians needs liberation from religious enslavement else they'll continue to believe in non existent witchcraft. Ignorance is the disease holding us back as a people.

I don't agree with you but your logic is spot on. If you don't believe in religion at all that makes sense to me but those who ridicule people who believe in witchcraft yet believe in other religions are very shallow in their analysis.
Personally I believe witchcraft and ghost as well as the almighty God exist but I don't fully understand the whole phenomenon. I have however experienced ghost/spirits together with other people so I know for a fact that that world is not a myth. As to what exactly I saw and experienced i can't tell you what it is but it wasn't from this world

I we want rid ourselves of these beliefs then we must first the National Health Insurance Scheme
For the lack of proper and affordable healthcare we are loosing too many of our youth.
We cannot blame the government we are not educated enough to make the link between corruption and poverty.
So we pick on the most vulnerable people in our society. Poor old women.

Mr/miss Canada,if I've never traveled around the world myself then I could've buy into your comments,but every where I go in the western world there's one common thing I see huge church buildings then in Asia I saw huge Buddha temples oops I ask myself why is it strange when anything concerning spirituality pops up the whole nation go in misconceptions theories hmmm,what's baffles me most is the way our media are full with pastors,prophets,bishops,mallams,imams and what's have you why are they not been sent to such areas to deliver these people who are rather in need of them if they have the capacity to stop this chaos panicking situation.

Whoever said witches do not exits is a foolish person. Even all religion warns us that there are devils amounts humans. Who are we calling a devil? For your information it happened some humans are witches because they are wicked. In 1997 it happened a woman told everyone in her community that she is the one killing the young people. She mentioned that her grandmother gave the powers to her.it was real and terror

Idiots. Oh God Africa! Cleanliness, and good diet are the answer to good health. Please leave those vulnerable people you idiots are accusing them alone! They themselves are really vulnerable who need help and you are accusing them of witchcraft! Ok let say they are witches as claimed! Spiritual things are not physical, so why leaving the town! Naive ignorant people! You need to work hard and eat well and draw closure to God and no witch can destroy you!

Is going to make up the constituency that you represent? You rather must liaise with the chief and come up with an equitable and really good solution for the community. Remember both of you ARE THE COMMUNITY LEADERS.
