    The ban must be permanent and not in Accra alone but throughout the country. My vacation was once marred by a mosque with a speaker on top of the roof every morning

    Noise pollution in Ghana is so disturbing, surprising that people have got used to it but not newcomers. Preaching from morning to midnight, a ploy just to win over vulnerable and impoverished people, take away their time and ...

    Tradition is part of the Holy Scriptures. Ban on noise making is not evil even Most Christians observe that especially on Good Friday's.

  • Jojen Reed 7 years ago

    People are consumed by tribalism and hate and so much religiousity in ghana it is very scary. So much that it is so hard for them to think rationally. You do not have to be an idol worshipper to respect people's traditions. W ...

    Even the way you write gives you away. When in Rome do as romans do. This is a tradition and it must be respected. The fact that Accra is a capital does not mean the natives cannot practice their culture. The ban is not all y ...

    Do we farm in Accra? Does the AMA now represent the Ga traditional authority. I wonder why the human and civil rights organisations are mute on this issue. Are we still in the 14th century?
