AUTHOR: MAHMOUD---
Mr. Mahama is exactly one of the visionless African leaders that have always been accused of misplacing their priorities. Does the NDC government think, despite the massive corruption, they can borrow recklessly and spend their way foolishly into another mandate in 2016, when the nation is over burdened with HIPC and workers wallowing in hunger and over taxed?

Governance under the NDC government is all about deceit and 'opium of the people'. They enjoy everything under the sun but ask us to wait for our basic needs in heaven. And as they ask us to tighten our belts for future betterment, they have already loosened theirs for immediate consumption. They didn't even respect our intelligence when they asked us to wait for a paradise in three years. The truth is that, everything they promise is a mirage and we will never find comfort under them because; they are con-men with con plans.

Lets not beat around the bush and call a spade a spade , since the so called fake revolution of JJ we now have his legacy of the islamization of the country , tribal politics camouflaged by so called fake socialism , corruption fueled by the desire to undermine the Akan economy , brother hate and despise brother because of pepeni/ayigbe anti Akan agendas. Travel around the country and you will notice in every town village or hamlet a mosque and NDC banners / billboards all over the place. In some hamlets there are not even toilets , schools , clinics but yet a mosque has been placed there like a quiet insidious malignant cancer spreading all over the country through the pro Palestinian , pro Taliban politics of JJ and his ayigbe idiots, so we know why after establishing relations with Israel was Mills murdered .These same Isrealis then turn around and with their computer engineering rig the elections for the enemy all because of a few million dollars they earned. Our country has become a breeding ground for the worst kind of fanatical terrorists , our judiciary a sham , our institutions of state non functional , our economy in less than 7 years now rated junk , our oil blocks sold by pepeni/ ayigbe criminals , our industry destroyed , and them parading useless houseboys like Kofi Adams , Ahwois , PVs, Nketia etc as leaders of the Akans? We are on a roller coaster ride to political violence that will end up in ethnic war and conflict with the NDC hoping that the Fantis will join them to kill their brothers the TWI speakers but they forget war breeds new leaders and are led by intellectuals will can never allow that to happen , For centuries our fathers rejected this islam (and their desire to enslave the blackman) as though originally God's word has now become so perverse by the interpretations of the wicked Arabs and pepeni. Today we have a pepeni president who claims to be a christian but intimately remains a muslim with 17 children and 11 wives , his children have Muslim names and choose to go to be educated in Dubai as every weekend their Alajihs carry their loot there. We have a cabinet heavily lopsided in favor of Muslims northerners , ewes and other non Akans yet they ask we trust them and accept them . The few Akans they have are cowards and wimps who would sell their own mothers for glorified titles and monies but are totally corrupt incompetent empty barrels. Yes they have brought war unto our heads but its a blessing in disguise as it now gives us the opportunity to clean up this mess and form our own new country without this pepeni/ayigbe menace

Nobody hates your president. I have no problem with him if he was rich before he became the president and if he had declared his assets to the whole world like president Buhari has done, I would have no problem with him if he is doing the right thing by bringing good policies to benefit the whole Ghana. I'm not speaking for Prince Adade but myself, I would have no problem with him if he had reason to know governance is about the whole country but not about party faithfuls, I would have no problem with him if he knows what democracy is all about and what a government needs to do to help the citizens, I would have no problem with him if he had governed with a little concern about the corruption in his government , don't tell me about president Kuffuor because I'm not going all out for president Rawlings and you've had a good 7 years to investigate Kuffuor's government so it will be nonsensical to compare. I wouldn't have no problem with your president if Ghanaians have stopped crying of hardship and suffering. Nobody hates your president when Ghana's resources have been vested on him and nothing reasonable and good is shown. Take that HATE out as that Belong's to your camp. NDC hate successful Ghanaians who have worked hard to be where they are, ndc hate Ghanaians because of where they come from, ndc hate Ghanaians because of their language, ndc hate hard working Ghanaians just because they are doing something for a living. How can you say after all we all want a better Ghana? For where? Can you get a better Ghana by destroying industries and jobs? Can you get a better Ghana by destroying education, health and everything belonging to Ghana? Come again! I know my country Ghana can't be compared to the free world and other civilised and advanced countries but atleast we've got what it is to satisfy us, if not because of some greedy and envious elements in government coupled with bad leadership. NDC, GIVE US A BREAK ! and don't pretend you love ghana but hate the people.

Does the Islamic god, Allah answer prayer?

You may wonder if it isn't obvious that he answers prayer! But wait, I want you to observe a very disturbing notion I have discovered.

"In this short article, I want to give one example of this western Muslim adaptation of Allah. We will look at two of those verses from the Quran that Muslims commonly appeal to and also present the interpretation of these verses by classical, i.e., authoritative Muslim commentators. I want to provide a simplified analysis that can help our readers, and mainly our Muslim seekers, see for themselves that Allah’s alleged compassion and answer to prayers are merely wishful thinking on the part of some of our Muslim friends.

Sura 2:186:

“And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me, so they should answer My call and believe in Me that they MAY walk in the right way.” – Q. 2:186 Shakir (emphasis ours)

This verse, even though at first glance it talks about Allah, the god of Islam, providing an assurance to his followers that he will respond to their prayers and answer them, we can still read between the lines some conditions attached for this to happen:

The verse requires the person who is calling on Allah to follow Allah’s commands and his call. In other words, he has to perform his duties and not do anything unjust or unpleasing to Allah.

The person has to actually believe in Allah. Here is where the confusion arises. If this verse is directed by Allah to his followers (the Muslims) then what is the purpose of Allah still asking them to believe in him? Apparently, Allah is unsure of their devotion and the sincerity of their hearts towards him. In fact, this demand by itself shows that Allah is not a god that provides any assurances to his adherents to answer their prayers if they call up on him.

The passage provides no guarantee whatsoever for the individual who is calling on Allah whether his/her prayers will indeed be answered even if they have been obedient to all the commands of Allah and walked in the right way.

Al Qurtubi1, in his exegesis of this verse, mentioned that in order for a Muslim to have his/her prayers answered by Allah, certain conditions must apply:

The person who is praying and asking Allah must not be committing any transgressions against Allah, knowingly and unknowingly. He refers to Sura 7:55 to support his view on this point:

“Call on your Lord humbly and secretly; surely He does not love those who exceed the limits.” – Q. 7:55 Shakir

What does “exceed the limits” mean?

According to Al Qurtubi, it means:

Not asking Allah for any forbidden things
Not asking Allah for things while committing sin(s) in your life, such as earning interest on your money, steeling from others, not being honest in his/her monetary transactions

Asking Allah constantly for the same thing yet not having faith that Allah is going to answer the call in the first place.

The person calling on Allah must do so with a clear heart and a clear conscience. He must not be distracted mentally while praying.

In fact, al Qurtubi notes that according to Ibn Atta, asking Allah has conditions that must be followed by the one who asks. Those conditions include:

Humbleness & humility, fear, hope, continuity in asking, and eating non-forbidden food (halal)

Ibn Atta also said: the act of asking must be done in truth.

The act of asking must be done at the right time(s) which can include:
At the times of breaking the fast or at dawn before starting a fast, the time between the prayer calling and the start of prayer, the time between the second prayer and third prayer during the day, and on Wednesdays. Other times may include urgent or emergency times and out of necessity.

The main purpose of the calling must be to glorify the prophet Muhammad.
The calling must be done in a manner that is audibly clear and contains no chanting.

When reading the conditions above one can almost assume that we are reading a legal contract filled with strings rather than reading the word of a god (Allah) who claims to have an open-door policy.

Sura 40:60

“And your Lord says: Call upon Me, I will answer you; surely those who are too proud for My service shall soon enter hell abased” – Q. 40:60 Shakir

Question: Did Allah say this or Mohammad read his will? Some credible invitation to prayer!

Having examined the two verses that are commonly used by Muslims as their main proof for Allah’s dedication to answer their prayers, we cannot find in these verses even a shred of evidence of any sort, or any guarantee regarding Allah’s desire for answering their call or jumping to their rescue compared to what the Lord of the Bible, the true God, who promises His followers time and time again to answer their prayers:

“call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” (Psalm 50:15)

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:7-11)

“I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” (John 14:12-14)"

I won't waste my time travelling to Saudi Arabia, the country whose citizens do not respect you black Muslims, let alone the people of African continent. We hear the stories told by Ghanaian Muslims girls who were treated like animals by these saudid.

They by stoning a devil will wipe out their numerous sins. my friend, it won't, and you can not stone the devil. The devil is a spirit. You black Africans Muslims are following a dead prophet, who is not in heaven for he refused to accept jesus Christ. You will insult and we will continue to tell you the truth.

When are you Muslims going to be on your senses. You stone the devil and he revenge by killing thousands of Muslims every year. When are you going to stop this nonsense. Just continue to follow Middle Eastern Arabs and end up in hell. Everything about Islam is false.

The original border stopped at Navrongo. But Nkrumah stealthily shifted the pillars at night until finally Ghana was allowed to include Paga in our map. At any time Burkina Faso decide to insist on the original border agreed in 1844, Paga will be back in Burkina.

You guys can spend your whole days insulting and cursing yourselves. Before u shame yourselves, it wll be too late for you. Unfortunately, your masters are at the tea party and are not aware of your useless quarels. Why u cant make sense if u don't insult?

Oh Bawumia. You were missing in arafah. You came to greet the chief imam who was in the same room with the ambassador Sinare, and other close allies of prez Mahama and that is news.

Bawumia is simply being stupid and ignorant for courting the Islamic votes by his pampering and obsequiousness to Malams in northern Ghana. This is a calamity of epic proportion in the making, and as desperate as the NPP are they will go to lengths, they should think of the good of the country first.

Pandering to religious factionalism, especially the Islamic religion is a disaster in the making. Muslims are Ghanaians first before they are Muslims. Bawumia is not a government official yet as this responsibility rests on government officials. This is nothing but posturing and a preposterous cheap propaganda that will eventually lead the country into religious factionalism.

This is the case of the tail wagging the dog, and when is this madness going to stop. The hajj is nothing but a windfall for their tourism industry. This is purely economical in nature. If it were on the spiritual tip, then humanity will be making hajj in Africa, the lifeblood of humanity. Let the buffoonery continues.
