I think you are the spewing garbage this time. Are you saying that the kind of leadership Ghanaians are getting from the present day crop of leaders is what is going to advance the interest of the country?

You are so shortsighted that you do not see anything wrong with the leadership we are getting from the present government of the NDC and get all bent up when anybody dares criticize the NDC.

If you are satisfied with what Ghanaians are right now getting from the present government, then I am sorry for you because your standard of judgement is so low.

Nobody can hide the light and true destiny of the great nation of Akan. they use all kinds of schemes and tricks to undermine or deny a proper standard to us but we shall never surrender. we shall change and adapt as like the Israelis we are the chosen people of God and he in his great design has made us diverse but unified in spirit. the ashantis like the tribe of Judah are and will remain an integral part of our being to to attack any one part we all end up feeling it sooner or later. they have succeed in turning some of our chiefs and kings against us and work for their evil ungodly agenda but we still see clearly . God has brought us into the 21st century and with that a new system of governance and state of mind based on democracy since it is HE alone who blesses the individuals with the gift of leadership wisdom and justice irrespective of status at birth. he has shown us the blue print of the way forward in the bible and other holy books and the time has come to free ourselves from this man made bondage called Ghana. just as in the Ukraine we must fight so the truth will come out , fear not the battle as they will crumble like the walls of Jericho . cast away our so called fake leaders and politicians who are nothing but cowards and like our enemies fear even their own shadows . yes God has put a million fears in their empty bodies as he who does not fear the Lord , the Lord will ensure all fears of the world will reside in him. They threaten us with superstition , juju and what have you and we say fuck you and go to hell as the divine power is with us . Yes all the tribes of Akan are fingers on the same hands and God has ordained we remain united so our strength and light will be visible throughout the whole world and universe , our time has come . everyday its becoming clearer and clearer to all children of Akan that we must prepare mentally for a battle of freedom . they come with tricks that say we must take a non Akan as our leader because its nice ? do they not think that out of 30 million Akans we can not find sensible down to earth leaders and warriors to lead our own people to our own destiny? a govt of the people and by the people is what the 21st century democracy is all about . let them continue to play with the consensus and other figures that justify their fantasy and enable them to marginalize the participation of the Akan majority in the Affairs of their own land , to marginalize us thus preventing us to afford a better standard for our people . The had of God has given them pestilence after pestilence but they refuse to let our people go , soon they will be swept away like chaff in the hurricane of fury . Long live the republic of Akan and don't you forget it as now the Fanti speakers, Twi speakers, Ashantis and other tribes of Akan are now one .

It takes someone suffering from acute blindness like you, with a warped mind to believe that Akans have the inalienable right to rule Ghana. NDC is not anti-Akan. It is some of your puffed-up NPP COHORTS who are so angry at the fact that a Northerner is ruling Ghana. Please get you some salves for your blinded eyes to enable you to see clearly and also think clearly. President Mahama is a full blooded Ghanaian, born in the North.He is well qualified to be Ghana's President, just as Barack Obama is qualified to be America's President.Tell your NPP cohorts to Stop harassing President Mahama like the Republicans are harassing Obama. Stop frustrating his efforts like the Republicans are doing to Obama. Stop sowing seed of discord against him like the Republicans are doing to Obama. Put a stop to all the HOGWASH you are spewing under the guise of concern for Ghana. Warped minded idiot.

Your argument is so warped. It is obvious that you hate the President and all he stands for and therefore can't understand why someone should love him.If you had taken time to read the well written essay of Mag Jackson and understood it, you will realize that he is calling both you and the wrong reverend Martey to the high standard of Christian ethics. Your defense of MARTEY AND ALL THE CLERGIES LIKE HIM IS SO CONVOLUTED.Please remove the scales of hypocrisy from your eyes so you can see clearly how to pray 'FOR' the President and not 'AGAINST' him. Satan delights in criticizing and accusing.Do you like doing his bidding? Please find room in your heart to love and pray for President Mahama. 1st Timothy 2:1-8.

Feel more sorry for yourself for being so blind and deaf. Rev Martey was urging true christians to enter into politics and take over from the corrupt and incompetent administrators who are running the economy to the ground and causing untold hardships to millions of ghanaians. No matter your political stripe, aren't you worried at all about the systemic rot and decay?Are there any of such christians among the NDC? If so who and where are they? There could be some true christians in the NDC administration but their numbers may be so small their impact is not felt. Think!

Margaret, it is good to point out Rt Rev Martey's criticism of the government,but you should attack the substance of his argument. This approach will make readers learn a lot. Attacking his leadership means deviating from the issue at stake. Is Rt Rev Martey's dissatisfied with the current political leadership? Absolutely. What is his argument? It could be he has a point there or May be not. I think you need to address the issue Martey is complaining about. If for over 6 years load shedding problem cannot be solved, then what is wrong with the political leadership of this country?

Very well written my beloved brother. It is only those who have a rebellious heart that will oppose this well argued essay. May I add that the WRONG. PROF. MARTEY, TAKE TIME TO READ: 1st Timothy 2:1-8, Titus 3:1-6 and Romans 13:1-8. His conduct now is a reflection of what Peter warns us of in 2nd Peter 2:10-22 and Jude 1:9-16.For now he should desist from calling himself right reverend because there is nothing right about him. Wrong reverend is most appropriate.

This stinking idiot called Akokofunu Ayidoho writing Nicodemus as a lady Margaret Jackson must shut his beak. Let him do same to Duncan Williams, Ampah Kwofie and Deegbe. Akokofunu Ayidoho must face the truth said by Rev Martey, who is a great candid disciplined PRESBYTERIAN. Akokofunu is already dead. Verily verily I say unto you, Akokofunu will die a second death.

Time and space will not permit me to respond to your unfortunate criticism of the good Reverend Prof Martey. But I have this to say to you. First you do not appear to see anything wrong with the current hardships Ghanaians are going through. At least Prof Martey and the other church leaders you appear to detest with passion are there to give voice to the voiceless. Who do you speak for??? What have you done for the voiceless in society???:Secondly on what basis do you make the claim that Rev Martey and other church leaders are unhappy that the party of their choice is not ruling the country??? Are you claiming that because Rev Martey is criticising the government he is doing the dirty work for the opposition parties????. That's very simplistic and illogical. You seem to be making the same mistake that some Ghanaians who are politically immature make. Let us put it this way if my party happens to be in power and they behave incompetently I should keep quiet and watch them run the country aground just because I voted them in. What kind of thinking is that? ?? If I were to choose between a pastor who speaks up for the marginalised and down trodden in society and someone who has made it her business to bash ministers who criticise incompetent governments there will no contest. Margaret Jackson we shall be watching you watching The Rt Rev Martey.

Mr. Jim Jones, if I understand you well, you are saying the same thing Margaret is saying. You stated and I quote ' This country will never develop if we are not intolerant of criticism'.
Maybe you meant to say 'if we are intolerant of criticism'. But the issue here is not the criticism, rather the blatant hypocrisy displayed by the wrong reverend Martey who only suddenly realizes that Ghana needs a constant flow of electricity when a Government he does not like is in power. He goes to sleep when NPP is in power because he gets drunk on the 'Jim Jones' concoction' they give him and wakes up with serious withdrawal syndrome like someone suffering from bipolar to heap up unwarranted criticisms on his master's nemesis. That's stack hypocrisy.

Oh, Mr Margaret, we have always maintained that you are a man. No woman would use such empty talk for someone who speaks on behalf of the majority of the people.
Prof Martey is the mouth-piece of the people he has pastoral care over. What those people would have wished to say if they had the platform is what the Rev Minister proclaims. Other ministers also preach what they believe is the concern of their congregation, and you never come out to chastise them all because they speak in favour of your government, even though most of us know that such ministers only speak for and from their stomachs.
This means that ministers are also Ghanaians and can have leanings to one party or another.
Unfortunately, we have all turned our politics to insults, with the one hurling the most insults being considered the winner.
I do not mind if we should castigate people who blatantly tell lies, be they ministers of religion or state. For example, only last November or so, President Mahama lied to the world by saying that his goverenment was going to make sure that the dumsor, dumsor would become a thing of the past with the commissioning of the Bui dam. The Bui dam has not been reported to have dried out yet, but the dumsor is still a thing of the present. If someone should come out and critisize the President for this, could that be the work of a nation wrecker? It would be more like the work of the devil who dwells in the leaders of the nation!

What's so wrong with Rev.Martey's call to christians to enter politics that has hit the raw nerve of Margaret Jackson? The title Christian isn't the preserve of any political party nor a synonym for every one who's not happy with the performance of the NDC administration.
When the wicked , NDC, NPP, CPP, etc, rule the righteous in the nation suffer. We need real God-fearing men and women of integrity, whether Christian, Moslem, Bhuddist, to get into politics to halt the rot. There are many who call themselves christians but they're not any better than the corrupt politicians we encounter everyday for it's written "Not all who say Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom." Margaret Jackson's much ado about nothing is all about the fear of a competent group of citizens taking over the day to day running of the nation from the incompetent and corrupt ppliticians.
