Two Jesuit novices both wanted a cigarette while they prayed. They decided to ask their superior for permission. The first asked but was told no. A little while later he spotted his friend smoking and praying. "Why did the superior allow you to smoke and not me?" he asked. His friend replied, "Because you asked if you could smoke while you prayed, and I asked if I could pray while I smoked!"

People, it is now official. Ghana has appointed a representative to The Vatican City!!!! How preposterous!!!! Why on earth will a sovereign state appoint a representative to the headquarters of a religious organization? Why not appoint reps to all other religious organizations just for fairness?
OR,is it a sign that the president is paying homage to his master,the Anti-Christ who sits on seven hills in Rome just like other heads of states from all over the world.
Now, Mahama, I dare ask you to withdraw this nonsense immediately and stop wasting the tax payers money on nkwasiasem.
Meanwhile I'm baffled why the christian council and other religious bodies have kept mute over this whole nonsense!! Can I confidently say they are in cahoot with this mission or they just see 'nothing wrong' with this appointment to the HOLY SEE!!!!
Silence means.......
Prove me wrong you lot (All heads of religious organizations in Ghana)

We are called Ghana. What other countries dislike should not necessarily be our dislike. Ghana has reasons for going there. Others went and are ok so they are leaving; we want to go there now based on our objectives; others may go there even after us; so what is your problem with this. Sir James Bebaako Mensah is the right person for the post and the President has rightly so appointed him. I congratulate the Honourable on his new elevation and appointment. Sir Congratulations.

its unlikely there will be a runoff rather the issue will be settled either by upholding the decision of the ec or will go straight out and award the presidency to npp. either way there can be no peace and we should expect war since it has less to do with rigging of elections rather hegemony chauvinism , authoritarian govt , ethnocentrism and tribalism camouflaged by ideology and corruption. its a do or die situation and anyone who is naive enough to think there will be no showdown after the ruling is a fool . the president is also supposed to be the commander in chief which means if he doesnt have the guts and brains to plan and execute a war effort he should not be running for president . anyone can steal power but how many can truely lead into prosperity ? jj the son of an uncircumcised rouge after over 20 years did nothing but put the economy back into the middle ages and thats a fact despite his so called eloquence in bullshiting us with ideologies he himself understood not.this ndc corrupt incompetent govt is just occupying space and wasting our time , its time to think war as they will not go away without the use of force . long live the republic of Akan

Yes it is true that Ghana must take decisions based on its right as a sovereign state but such decisions must be sensible decisions.

That presumes that a Trokosi shrine could also decide to call itself a state. Its as simple as that.

The country stinks .... hygiene is poor.
We already have an Embassy in Rome. At this difficult time, we find it necessary to set up a Vatican Mission.

How much does this duplication cost the country ?

I think Mahama is confused. Well, I have not ruled a country before so I can't comment too much, but taking a closer look at Ghana's priorities, I don't think spending money to establish a diplomatic mission in the Vatican is Ghana's priority, considering all the projects at stake in the country.

I am personally confused about this appointment if some one can explain to me what is Bebaako Mensah's job description in the Vatican City if Ghanaians don't live there? May be Ghana's economy is bouncing back so Mahama is now giving unnecessary appointments. Oh Ama Ghana not long ago we learnt from Mahama that the meat on your bones was completely finished. How you feeling now?

A little girl raised her hand:

Yes Mary, what do you want to be?

I want to be a Prostitute with I grow up!

The teacher, now red-faced and very sternly said: Mary! I will see you after class!

Class adjourned and the nun said: Mary, what did you say you wanted to be?

Mary replied: I said I want to be a prostitute when I grow up.

The nun gave a great sigh of relief and replied: "Oh, I thought you said you wanted to be a Protestant!"
