kwasea, how many days do want for Eid-ul Adha? A foolish boy. You should be lucky that a certain Rawlings came and recognize you in the scheme of things. How can a virulent and bloodbath oriented ritual religion which professes nothing but destructions of lives and annihilation of humanity be celebrated? All the terrorist organizations, Boko Haram, ISIS, Talibans, Alqaida, Hezbollah, Alshabab name any other such minded organization you can think of. Are they all not from this murderous ritual group called religion? lf you like, take all the days in the year and celebrate as Eid ul-Adha!

even the one day, there is no need for it if not for political gains by our dubious selfish politicians who wanted vote. public holidays tend to cripple the nation's finances. christmas holiday and boxing is was not instituted by the government of Ghana but something that seem to have come from the world. during that period , the whole world seem to come to a stand still. there is no need for the educated Irbard guy to come up with this kind comments. if people want to have more than the one day given as public then they can book extra day off at work. there are already to many public holidays in Ghana, a country whose economy is not doing well. Also there is no need to make monday a public holiday if the actual day falls on weekend.

Keep your head in the sand and it will be too late to know what is going on.Whether x'tians constitute 80% of the population or not is an issue.The issue is that Muslims are adisadvantaged class in Ghana as a result of unofficial insidious discrimination and manipulation of channels to stunt their consciousness and progress.The overwhelming use of Christian symbols in government offices and schools in a supposedly secular state are evidence of the oppressive atmosphere Muslims are subjected to by the Christian majority.

How many days are given to Christian minorities in Saudi Arabia and by extension Middle eastern and North African countries for Christmas and Easter Festivities? None in most of these countries because Muslims are the majority. Don't be egocentric in your demand if your Islamic scholar of international standing. Talk about the same fairness to Christians in predominantly Muslim countries. Again, talk about the unfairness of the state resource being used to promote Islamic in the country.To using the elections period to make such a demand is tantamount to blackmailing and therefore you should be shame as so-called international expert on security. Your statement undermine security as well.

Nii do further research Simeon who helped to carry Jesus' cross was from Libya. Tunsia, Algeria and Morocco among others all had Christian populations but exterminated by the Jihadist as IS is now doing coupled with the suppression of official statistics of population of Christians.We have more Christians in Saudi Arabia than what you think because all the house helps and other workers are Christian who don't have freedom to worship their God. What is common about Muslims is that they would vehemently demand their religious rights but deny others to have similar rights. The so-called expert should talk about such fairness too. He should give us a break.

you're a fool to believe that God truly sent mohammadu with the true message to arabs and not to us africans who are the original human beings. why didnt god let any prophet appear to the africans who are also expected to worship him? think!

will arabs or europians ever worship an african God?

ghana was colonised by europians and and our work schedule and calendar conform to christian calendar so don't compare tillapias to frogs. if you love islam more than ghana then move to saudi arabia or iran or pakistan, or Afghanistan or syria or chibok.

Any Political Party to do this stupid think will not only incur the wrath of only christians but Moslems as well. By the way how did this trouble maker get the title Security analist?

Silly suggestion!!! What exactly are we going to do with any extra days? Laziness is being engrained in our work ethics. Count the number of days in the year Ghanaians take off as "holidays". How can a developing country grow its GDP when all we do is cry for and take more holidays. Who suffers? Productivity suffers and the nation suffers. Instead of thinking about cutting down the number of off-days in the year, this silly goat Irbard is thinking of increasing religious holidays. The benefit? More poverty in Ghana. The simple solution I would give to revolutionize work ethics is for Ghanaians to be PAID BY THE HOUR, instead of the fixed monthly salaries that are dished out, irrespective of how many hours a month one works. If the gov't and private enterprises institute this Hourly Pay, just watch to see how many people will be interested in taking holidays and useless days off work. After that, let's give this Eid festival a week of celebration as holiday, and see how many people will be interested in staying at home for more than a day. Same goes for Christian holidays too, and all the various lazy days we have put in calendars as "national holidays". At the end of the day, we will see GHANA'S GDP grow by leaps and bounds. You want the reason why there are developed and developing countries? This is it - Hourly pay. You are paid for work done in the US, UK, Canada, Japan, etc, etc. You don't work, you don't get paid. You show up for work, punch your time card, work the hours, punch out when the day is over, and be paid for those hours you put in. For those who will take a week off to celebrate Eid festivals, let them. At the end of the month, they will chew grass. Simple......

This issue shouldn't be a religious thing. Ghanaians can cure this cancer of excessive holidays by instituting hourly work pay, instead of the fixed monthly salary system in ALL work places. Then if you want to take a whole week to celebrate Eid, just go ahead. Meanwhile those who don't celebrate Eid or wish to celebrate one week at home will have the option to come to work and clock in and out. Our pay slips will then justify our holidays and other days off.

I'll vote for any political party who will increase the number of days for Muslims as marking the celebration of Eidul fitr or Eidul Adha.

it is true that you will recognise a fool only when he utters a word. most of the comments are from fools and tabular rasers like kwame.

I've always shared this sentiment. I travel up north to celebrate the Eid with my family and to be honest, one day can never be enough. The Eid is an occasion for family reunions and merry making just like Christmas and Easter. Can u imagine just a day for Christmas holidays? I think it needs to be given serious attention. Two days might just be fair enough so that travellers can head back.
