Ghanaian media are dump particularlly joy fm. Am expecting them to take an inventory and tell ghanains. If it were other govt then they will be there. NDC and lies. They will reap what they have sow.

It is not trash, both A Plus and Kojois are making sense. When Akufo pledged to build a cathedral "for God" he told the nation that no public money would be spent on the project, but in the end we all saw how he squandered taxpayer's money on a project whose foundation was not even finished by the time he (Akufo Addo) left office. The last thing Ghanaians need right now is for Mahama to be following in the footsteps of Akufo Addo - he should remember that all eyes are on him

You are as fxxlish as A Plus, you don't think before you talk, seriously I am not angry as I say this to him and yourself! Has A Plus got moslems voters in his Constituency? I am sure he doesn't avalue them now that he is mp! The NDC and John Mahama made certain promises to the moslems Community and the other is create a new holiday for them. The NDC Government is yet to be recorded as having built the Hajj village with taxpayers funds yet A Plus is assuming rather stpdly because Nana Addo did same despite denying the use of public funds in building the national cathedral! John Mahama is honest! Please he and Nana Addo are far apart on the moral and ethical grounds. Turkey built the National mosque at Nima, Saudi Arabia Turkey, Dubai or some other Islamic states will easily contribute to build the Hajj village

The fact that he has Muslim voters mean government should build Hajj Village? Why do you insult someone (an MP) for airing his opinion? What is the difference between building Hajj village and constructing the Cathedral? For me I see the two on the same level just like the MP said. They are all intended for religious purpose, and I feel governments must not assume such responsibilities. If Muslims want to visit Mecca or Christians want to visit Israel, it is in their personal and religious interest, and should not be the responsibility of any government. We are told that the Hajj village is to be funded by the Ghana airport company limited. Meanwhile, Ghana airport company limited is a state-owned company formed from the Ghana civil aviation authority. So how is it not government funded?

Kojo is, you are the first to comment but you hv once again displayed your ignorance arrogantly. We hv a concept known as "smart borrowing" introduced by former Finance Minister, Seth Terkper. This allows state companies to borrow on the strength of their balance sheets without burdening the central government. That was how we built the new Kotoka Terminal 3, which has paid for itself through the tolls etc, which are collected at the airport. The new Tema Harbour was done with the same concept. The new Hajj village would be built using the same model. This is prudence to the highest order! How can anybody compare this to the National Cathedral project, which lacked sense and is shrouded in opacity? In the case of the cathedral, govt went straight into our consolidated fund and pick money and termed it "contingency" and wasted it on that phantom project. It's good A-plus has raised concerns about the Hajj village project, however such concerns are mostly needless. AS an MP, he can easily have access to all information regarding the project for his perusal and education.

The hypocrisy of a Ghanaian
What is government's business in building hajj villages for Muslims? The 19% Muslims of this country deserves a hajji village?
The church which is the biggest developmental partner of the state does not deserve a Katidra! Are we just not hypocrites? In our sixty de3ben history as a country, the church has built more schools and hospitals than any other developmental partner. Not even the British who stole most of our gold.

Surprising, most of us were born Christians yet we did not think the country deserves a national Katidra. The first line of our national pledge says "God bless our homeland Ghana" yet we decided against building a Katidra for the church. Are we just not hypocrites?

Tunde, what you are saying does not add up. Are you saying because about 7500 people will go to Mecca in just two weeks in a whole year, government must allocate different resources and permanently build separate infrastructure for these. Because even after the two weeks of using the village facility, for the remaining 50 weeks of the year, the facility will be REDUNDANT. This is certainly not a smart way to to facilitate hajj enterprise.

Very wise analysis, Haruna! Why can’t the government focus on making the Tamale Airport an international airport so that those Muslims in the northern belt will fly from the north directly to Mecca, those in middle belt from Kumasi (which Bawumia claims to have made it international), and southern from Accra. Why must Muslims be housed at the airport? Every traveler comes to the airport to check in a leave. Why must Muslims be housed at the airport? If the want a place to rest, can’t they book hotels around the city?

Oh Ghana politics. You want to use tax payers money to fund a pagan pilgrimage and you expect the true God to bless you as a country. You're not serious. And why should we over pamper Muslims in Ghana. Go see how they treat non-muslims in Muslim majority countries. Christians have to hide their religion, they get harasser and abused. Their churches are attacked and burnt on unfounded allegations and in some places they are even killed just because they are Christians, yet some foolish politicians want to bend over backwards for Allah and his fake prophet Muhammad, the PEDOPHILE. Don't mistreat them but you don't have to give them special privileges to worship Satan. What percentage of the population do they even make up that politicians are so desperate to please them. Zongo development fund, Hajj village and all these attempts to please Muslims? It's pathetic. Wait till they have a real footing in terms of power or numbers then they'll show you your position in society. Mention 1 Muslim majority country that funds Christian activities, they'll laugh in your face if you suggest such a thing. Stupid politics.

I believe in Islam and I am a Moslem but I am totally against the construction of the Hajj village, even the Almighty Allah will not bless you for this purpose. ORAL is investigating allegations involved in the construction of the cathedral in Accra, I mean the swimming pool. Politicians should stop playing with the minds of the citizens. There are a lot of uncompleted projects outside there, please complete them for God sake. New projects are always the source of income for corrupted politicians. No to Hajj village no to swimming pool cathedral!

Abdool, it's a big NO to spending state money for building a village for an annual trip to the cube box wearing a skirt for you to go and kiss the rock shaped like a vagin* in the name of getting forgiveness for your sins. Our national resources will not find that pagan nonsense. Muhammad lied to you, you won't have women in paradise,so better stop hitting your forehead on the ground to Allah. Use your zakat to fund your trips to your moon god. We have nothing to do with your PEDOPHILE fake prophet Muhammad.

Misplaced priorities, what at all is wrong with the head of the black man? So Mahama are you coming to follow in the footsteps of the conglomerate of thieves and nation wreckers called the npp led by a confused incompetent clueless old crook called Akufu-Addo ? Then you'll simply sink the ndc and cause more problems and backlash for yourself, remember people are already praying for you to fail so that they'll tell us they told us so!

Silly politicians want to use taxpayers money to fund the members of the cult of Muhammad to go and kiss the lifeless Blackstone in Mecca, because Muhammad the PEDOPHILE false prophet bought their minds with sex in 'heaven'. Taxpayers money should not find the perverted desert cult of Muhammad. Better withdraw this nonsense or we'll continue to spit on the fake prophet Muhammad.

Ibn Abbas narrated that:
The Messenger of Allah said about the (Black) Stone: "By Allah! Allah will raise it on the Day of Resurrection with two eyes by which it sees and a tongue that it speaks with, testifying to whoever touched it in truth."Jami` at-Tirmidhi 961

Ibn Abbas narrated that:
The Messenger of Allah said: "The Black Stone descended from the Paradise, and it was more white than milk, then it was blackened by the sins of the children of Adam." Jami` at-Tirmidhi 877

Abud Darda' reported God’s messenger as saying, “God created Adam when He created him and struck his right shoulder and brought forth his offspring white like small ants. And he struck his left shoulder and brought forth his offspring black as though they were charcoal. Then He said to the party on his right side, ‘To paradise, and I do not care’ and He said to the party in his left shoulder, ‘To hell, and I do not care’.” Mishkat al-Masabih 119

That's the racist Muhammad for you. He promised all of you black Muslims that you'll be in hell.

STULTITIA DELENDA EST - STUPIDITY MUST BE DESTROYED

I have already started my mission to oppose any foolishness emanating from the NDC regime on my FB, but it's appearing to be a daunting task. I had already condemned unreservedly President Mahama's intention to restore Republic Day holiday but turn it into a Day of Prayers and Thanksgiving.

After the trauma of undergoing the weekly criminal revelations of Ablakwa he dubbed "scandals" and failed to report to the appropriate law enforcement authorities, I'm unable to cope with the daily foolishness coming from the NDC.

All sane and rational Ghanaians must join to rebuff this backward obscurantism that has engulfed the secular state of Ghana too. New Hajj Terminal indeed! At a time when one of my old students association is trying to levy us as much as $30 a month to rebuild the dilapidated school infrastructure? NO WAY! Stultitia delenda est - stupidity must be destroyed!

Kwame don't rush to make yourself heard because social media wants you. You are my friend but you and Domelovo got it wrong If you are looking for a LOW HANGING FRUIT to criticise Mahama then look for another because you and those opposed to this project on grounds of priority got it all wrong. You are either showing ignorance or religious biases. Well, the reason why it's worth every penny to construct the Village is this;

1. The Muslims give Ghana Airport Company over 10,000 Hajj passengers every year as a religious group. No other religious groups in Ghana give the Ghana government that amount of passengers every year.

3. Which means Ghana is guaranteed 0ver 10,000 and potentially more than that until the world comes to an end.

4. The Muslims pay the government the cost of travel 3 months ahead of travel and this means fiscal space for government. This money is used to pay your salary for at least 2 months before the travel date is due. If the government is to borrow this money from the treasury bill market as it has been doing, it will be paying at least 20.79% interest rate.(it used to be 29%).

5.This year for instance, every Muslim wishing to travel to make HAJJ will pay 62,000 Ghana Cedis. This will guarantee Government over 620,000,000 Ghana Cedis 3 months ahead of the actually travel.

6. Which religious groups in Ghana give Ghana Airport Company (Ghana Government) this amount of passengers at a goal?

7. Muslim Pilgrims pay from their own pocket. The Government does not pay a peswa for any Muslim Pilgrim to make Hajj.

6. So, improving government facility for passengers who constantly guarantee government easy cashflow cannot be said to be wasteful at all.

7. The HAJJ VILLAGE is NOT like the NATIONAL CATHEDRAL in any stretch of imagination.

8.Ghana Airport owns its land, constructs and retain its property. There is NO Muslim Booard that will draw on public purse like the CATHEDRAL did. Muslims do not have ownership whatsoever.

9. The HAJJ facility is nothing more than an airport facility owned and managed by Ghana Airport that is going to be used by Muslim Pilgrims for a FEE.

10. The Muslim Pilgrims pay all fees and charges for using Ghana Airport facility. The 62,000 Ghana Cedis the Government is charging for this year Pilgrims includes such fees.

11. Muslim Pilgrims DO NOT USE TAX PAYER'S MONEY for Hajj. They pay every peswa from their hard earned money.

12. And so, unless the criticisms is borne out of ignorance and political persuasion, I will be surprised anyone would like to equate the HAAJ VILLAGE to the NATIONAL CATHEDRAL.

13. The two are NOT the same

14. Whilst the HAJJ VILLAGE is a true strategic infrastructural investment wholly owned by Ghana Airport Company, with NO Muslim group managing it, and with guaranteed returns for Government in perpetuity the NATIONAL CATHEDRAL is NOT.
