  Good read.
  yes, we should be careful that there is a creeping clamor for a"strongman" to rule Ghana because of the feckless leadership we find now and yet forget the failure of autocrats and dictators.

  Mahama is more deceptive than the serpent. Yes you don't steal election, bribe your way, plunder the nation's coffers and divert attention. Whatever a man sows GOD helps him to reap bountifully. True.

  Ghanaians hate the truth so we keep living the lie. This article by Dr SAS is as illuminating and thought provoking as it can get for those yearning for common sense solutions to everyday problems but repugnant and nauseating to those who love and promote the status quo and their "illiterate" and blind followers.
  God is workaholic and He expects his children to work. He worked six days and rested on the seventh day and later taught Adam the principle of work and instructed him saying :"From the sweat of thy brow shall thou eat bread ". No amount of fasting and prayer can put food on the table of those who refuse to work with their hands and minds and who refuse to teach their children the value and essence of work. It's an apostate and lazy generation of Christians who seek handouts and want to live off the generosity of others. The only thing that can save Ghanaians from poverty,starvation and hopelessness is for everyone,starting from the government to the man in the street to roll up our sleeves and get to work. It's time to ask accountability and transparency from every citizen and that includes the president,his ministers,the police and army personnel,the religious and traditional leaders,the judiciary,doctors,nurses,teachers.etc. No one is above the law and no one is exempt from work except the handicapped,the sick,minors and the aged. We have to start punishing wrongdoers and criminals, and please for goodness sake,no exceptions,and start rewarding hard work and ingenuity. We cannot be saved from ourselves by God by praying and fasting all day long,all night long,all year long . There's is indeed a time for everything. How I wish work is top of our priority list. Our only hope is true repentance,and that means getting back to work. We are reaping what we've sowed over the years and if we dislike the harvest then we must sow something different. Lunacy and idiocy is doing the same things over and over again and hoping to get a better result each time. How can a nation so richly endowed just do nothing but fast and pray and hope manna will fall from heaven?

  A great piece by a great writer! Topic: Relevant but controversial. Analysis: excellent. Pragmatics: outstanding.

  It will be fruitless arguing with an ATHEIST like DR SAS.Nobody has stated that PRAYER and FASTING is the answer to our problems.All those who believe in the CREATOR know that in times of difficulties,the power of the ALMIGHTY has been manifested through prayer and fasting and the BIBLE is a true testimony.Nobody is suggesting that Ghanaians should stop working and wait for MANNA to fall from heaven through prayer and fasting.This is not what the BIBLE says.Misinformed DR SAS should read the BIBLE and know exactly what the Bible says instead of directly or indirectly misleading readers.Arguing with an ATHEIST is an uphill task.

  What is this confused Texas attorney talking about? Is it about Prayer and Fasting or DEMOLITION in Accra or Ghana's independence or Kwame Nkrumah or J.J.Rawlings
