The Nigerians have given a new terminology just before their recent election that dropped the mahama like non performer Jonathan.
The terminology is called STOMACH INFRASTRUCTURE (on BBC yesterday). It is a situation whereby the ruling government fails miserably but in an election share bribes the ignorant rural population with cash, rice, cutlass outboard motors etc. At times they even make you swear or do funny things like taking you to fetish priests etc. These are called STOMACH INFRASTRUCTURE. These were common with Jonathan. However, Nigerians have woken up and have proven that it does not work. They collected the stomach infrastructure and voted wisely using their brains. That is how Jonathan lost.
Fellow Ghanaians collect the stomach infrastructure from the NDC but on the Election Day you vote them out massively. Nigeria has paved the way for the rest of Africa to follow.

I'm not a Catholic but know that. The Ghanaian govt. always subsidises this pilgrimage to mecca by the Ghanaian mosslems. Get your facts straight.

Do you expect any Muslim trying to defend any silly act to abide by the truth and honesty, if any has honesty in him at all. If you question their barbaric acts all over the world, they will begin to point to the US and Europe as the ones that push them. And yet when they are running from their intra-religious wars they go the US or Europe. They rarely go to Saudi or Mecca itself. They will point to Timothy McVeigh as a Christian that was also a terrorist, as if Timothy himself ever said he was a Christian and that he did whatever he did for Christ or God. They will mention Jim Jones of Jonestown, Guyana incident where Jones managed to keep his unsuspecting congregation sheltered from the rest of the world and led them through clearly unbiblical teaching into committing suicide. He succeeded in doing this first by shielding them from the society. But the people committing the wanton destruction these days of this other religion are not sheltered. They are walking among us and scattered all over the world, and almost everyone to the last will say their merciless destruction is for Allah. And interestingly, the Jonestown people committed suicide. They didn't pointedly kill others. They were never trained to go out and kill others.
The Muslims seem to have so much money to burn going to Mecca and yet they won't build schools. They will choose to come and fight over schools built by other missionaries in Ghana, imposing their sharia law. Is it not surprising that their God will choose to be so parochial and physical as to demand that every Muslim seek his face in Mecca. Culmination of rituals!
Politics makes Mahama both a Christian and a Muslim: Serving two masters. Poor him!

Hope the President will be on hand for another photo opportunity when the pilgrims return home after their spending spree. Are we serious as Ghanaians?

Near $3500 per tourist and here in Ghana alone you have over 5000 tourists taking part in this exploration of Mecca exercise.

To be honest, the Saudis don't even need oil to sustain its economy as this tourism/pilgrimage business is enough to sustain the economy for the next billion years!

Why should the President get involve in Hajj Pilgrimage wasting tax man's time and money on individual's travelling activities.

He should learn from Buhari who has ordered for no government involvement in Hajj matters or any government financial support.

Mahama led failed government is desperately politicizing everything for power whilst the country crumbles.

So sad Ghana unfortunately led by such a riffraff immoral crook.
