    Using an occultic picture to go along with the headline is nothing but very childish and mischievous and an attempt to create fear in minds of already fearful and gullible people.

    Why nonsense? Are they also not Ghanaians? We have all kinds of holidays for all kinds of people and events. Why do you think their case is different?

  • Esi 7 years ago

    According to Desmond Tutu, "God is not a Christian" (he isn't a Muslim or traditionalist either).

    I agree with their grievances. But since traditional religion is not monolithic, what would the day celebrate?

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 7 years ago

    I am not a traditional religionist but I believe they have a case. Our traditional religion is far far older than Christianity and Islam. I don't get involved in it but their concerns should be addressed or there should be no ...

    All the deities have their own festivals. Are we going to grant one day to all of their worshipers to hold their celebrations together or are we going to grant a separate national holiday to each of the traditional groups?

  • Kay 7 years ago

    Your title is wrong the man said many things and a national holiday was just a wish.
    The cathedral has not generated any controversy. Christians make up over 60% of the population followed by Muslims. The whole thing depends ...

  • KOBBY 7 years ago

    There are hundreds of traditional worship groups. Which groups day will be considered as the national holiday? Why didn't you make this request during the tenure of either President Mills or Mahama.

  • Joe 7 years ago

    If I were the President, some of the holidays will be expunged. Holidays like Farmers day (the day is always enjoyed by white collar workers not the farmer because the farmer is always on the farm), they do not have holidays ...

  • Feats only 7 years ago

    You don't need a holiday. You rather have to use your position in the Africania mission to promote your religion. Give people more insight on religious practices that prevailed before western influence. Then you can gain a fo ...
