    Without a civil war Ghana as a country cannot stop this kind of corruption practice. Everyone in the system is corrupted except Nana Addo.

  • Ghfuo, change ur thinking 10 years ago

    Prayer is not the key here. Do you pray for God to put food directly in your mouth for chewing? Look at what he malaysians are doing in this regard.

    Prayers will not uproot corruption. We must study and implement the best practices for elimination of corruption that have been in existence in many countries for eons.

  • Justice Atuguba 10 years ago

    PRAYERS CAN GET RID OF CORRUPT MAHAMA AND HIS NDC. PRAYERS CAN LET GHANAIANS OPEN THEIR EYES AND SEE THE LOOTING ALL AROUND THEM COMMITTED BY MAHAMA ND HIS MEN AND WOMEN. SO PRAYERS CAN!

  • ZoRRo 10 years ago

    Christians must ACT to uproot corruption from the country. Praying on Sundays and indulging in corrupt acts from Monday to Saturday, will not clean the country of corruption cancer.
