Why do we have the BNI,CID and National Security for? Are they sleeping at the switch for the US to keep eye on us?
Who takes our tax money, is it the US or our govt?
And did someone created Boko Haram in order to keep foreign military in Africa that could also be used for regime change?

The USA is doing great job for the African continent. They should use more drones against the islamist Boko Haram. There is no difference between Boko Haram and Talaban.

Some of our neighbors in West Africa, including Cameroun, Chad, Niger and Ghana, so as to wreck the buoyant economy of Nigeria out of ENVY. They all supports Boko Haram, one way or the other. Some Ghanaians Muslims do sneaked into Nigeria to commit some of these atrocities in support of their fellow heartless Hausa Fulani Boko Haram Muslims in Northern Nigeria. That is a fact.

Some of those evil people supports Boko Haram in Nigeria are from Nima and other Moslems from Ghana. I have seen some of the gory pictures of Nigerian Christians being hacked to death by Boko Haram, on 'wassaps' being spread by some of the evil Islamic Nima Boys, from Ghana. That is fact. It is an open secret amongst Ghanians Moslems anyway.

(I wonder how did these Nima Boys got hold of those gory pictures of Christians being massacred in Northern Nigeria, if they are not part of the atrocities)? The truth will come out one day by the Grace of God. All these Islamic evil atrocities by fellow Africans Muslems and their equally evil Arab sponsors against Nigeria shall be exposed one day IJN.

If Ghanaians thinks that they are immuned from the terror and evil of Islamic religion, they are living in a fool paradise. Your evil days are just being postponed for another day of calamity in Ghana. Mark my word. As long as you have Muslims in your midst, then your peaceful days are numbered. Mark my words. There is nothing like peaceful Muslims, trust me. The only peaceful Muslims are DEAD MUSLIMS, period.

Nemesis, you sound so bitter, cool down buddy. It's almost as if you want your neighbors to meet the same fate as Nigeria. No matter how bad things are in your country, never you wish the same thing upon other countries. I'm pretty sure Ghanaians and many other countries are just as sad and praying for the safe return of these girls and for the menace with boko haram to stop.

Using drones on the African soil could be very dangerous to Africa's security. Its like we have limited capacity to produce drones. but future generations might wish to do so. I hope they might not be in conflict with the U.S who has been given a free ticket to use drones across the African soil without any preconditions. God save African citizens from their greedy leaders.

People like you are very easily taken in by the CIA & the lot. Both Boko Haram & Taliban you seem to see as being quelled by your fascinated USA are USA-sponsored to create the pretext for USA intervention. Today it is Nigeria. Tomorrow it will be Ghana. They are just making you take your eye off the ball & they are using black people which typical. Every overthrow of an African Govt is preceded by posting a black Ambassador pledging hoax help. Now it is a black USA Govt, a black Asst Secretary of State. The Ghana "effort" may not be a "Boko Haram". There are several ways of killing a cat. Open your eyes, open your mind and look down when everyone is looking up, fellow countryman. The US wants to "own" Africa. It is not doing great for you. Look out.

The government might have a good intention at the time, but the govt was also planting a seed which they did not know what it would turn into. These were the people who regrouped into Boko Haram and also formed the pirates on the Gulf of Guinea. Everyone need to know that Boko Haram used to be a loose group of disgrunted men Nigerian boy.

Don't forget that as long as you have Moslems in your country, Boko Haram is NOT far from you. Ask the Central Africa Republic, (a predominantly peaceful Christian country for hundred of years, until the ISLAMIC TERRORISM by Moslems minority in that country reared its ugly head), and the rest is history.

Boko Haram is NOT a Nigeria making, but the global Islamic Terrorism, which America, Britain, Isreal, Kenya and Nigeria, just to mention a few are experiencing. If you MORONIC Ghanaians think that you are immune to the Islamic terrorism, then your days of peaceful co-existence with the Moslems minority in Ghana are NUMBERED. It is a matter of time.

So, what is your next step? Or you will let the strips remain on your face? My concern is that wherever you go, people tend to look at your face too much as if you are not a human. Try your best to get rid of those strips. Try a different facial surgical practitioner. I know you will be ok. Don't cry. I blame your parents.

This is serious. The United States has intelligence agencies working in West Africa?? This is counter intuitive if you agree with me that America exists to pursue its interests foremost. We do not want American Intelligence agents in Africa as they were subversive in the past.

What are the Ghanaian intelligence agencies doing?? A warning must be sounded to the Nigerian government. We would not wait for Boko Haram to get to Ghana. Any activity of Boko Haram outside Nigeria must receive the most decisive response from West African states. And here we must talk softly but carry a big stick.

Did you read any post from any Ghanaian Muslims that condemned Boko Haram? No!, there was a single post from one Muslims that condemned barbaric Boko Haram. All what these Muslims were writing was attacking individuals who criticized Boko Haram.

Ghanaians should be naive. We have Muslims in our midst, and these Muslims are always disgruntled. Deep inside Muslims, there is no human love. Why should Muslims who post to Ghanaweb.com attack people who criticize Boko Haram. Any criticism on Boko Haram is seen as an attack to their barbaric religion.

Ghanaian authorities must be very careful. So far as Muslims are in Ghana, it is most likely that Boko Haram is in our country. We shouldn't trust them. Why should we trust religious group who kill innocent people in the name of their Allah? A word to wise is enough.

Ghanaians will not sit down unconcern for your barbaric religion to destroy Ghanaians before we speak. My post is a word of caution to our authorities.

Who is in his right trusts Muslims? We heard it million times that "this is not Islam; Islam is peaceful". How peaceful is your Islamic religion that encourages hatred? What religious group of people will abduct these teenage Nigerian girls and keep them in this jungle without their parents permission?

Do you read news about Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq? Muslims extremist are blowing up their own Muslim people into pieces on everyday?
You Muslims can not accept the truth. If you know the truth, then you will be able to know that there is something with Islam.

O! Muslims minds are seared and can not understand simple truth. So, Christian nations told professed Muslims to kill their own Muslims brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. And these Muslims killers obeyed those Christian nations, right?

Look at how you expose your Muslims demonic mentality here. No group of religious people will do that apart from you Muslims. I don't understand the arguments you Muslims make here. That tells me that Quran has destroyed your thinking ability. All what you can understand is to kill innocent and peaceful people. Your own Allah will judge you harshly if he exists and know the truth.

Islam does not value human life. You don't even value your own Muslims people life. How can you value a Christian or Jewish life?

Killing CHRISTIANS and burning down their Church Houses ? Do not forget that 80 percent of the world populations is CHRISTIANS. If we decide to meet you face to face can you match us?

Foreign embassies in Khartoum are urging the government to reverse course
(CNN) -- A Christian woman in Sudan reportedly has until Thursday to either recant her faith or face a possible sentence of death.

Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, was convicted by a Khartoum court this week of apostasy, or the renunciation of faith, Amnesty International said Wednesday, a day before the expected ruling. The court considers her to be Muslim.

According to the rights group, she was also convicted of adultery because her marriage to a Christian man was considered void under Sharia law.

"The fact that a woman could be sentenced to death for her religious choice, and to flogging for being married to a man of an allegedly different religion, is abhorrent and should never be even considered," Manar Idriss, Amnesty International's Sudan researcher, said in a statement.

"'Adultery' and 'apostasy' are acts which should not be considered crimes at all, let alone meet the international standard of 'most serious crimes' in relation to the death penalty. It is flagrant breach of international human rights law," the researcher said.

Ibrahim is eight months pregnant and currently in custody with her 20-month-old son, according to Amnesty International, which considers her a prisoner of conscience.

Christian Solidarity Worldwide, another rights group, described Ibrahim's case as follows:

She was born to a Sudanese Muslim father and an Ethiopian Orthodox mother. Her father left when she was 6 years old, and Ibrahim was raised by her mother as a Christian.

However, because her father was Muslim, she was considered by the courts to be the same, which would mean her marriage to a non-Muslim man is void.

In past cases involving pregnant or nursing women, the Sudanese government waited until the mother weaned her child before executing any sentence, said Christian Solidarity Worldwide spokeswoman Kiri Kankhwende.

After-hours attempts Wednesday to contact the Justice Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister in Sudan were unsuccessful.

Foreign embassies in Khartoum are urging the government there to reverse course.

"We call upon the Government of Sudan to respect the right to freedom of religion, including one's right to change one's faith or beliefs, a right which is enshrined in international human rights law as well as in Sudan's own 2005 Interim Constitution," the embassies of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Netherlands said in a statement.

"We further urge Sudanese legal authorities to approach Ms. Meriam's case with justice and compassion that is in keeping with the values of the Sudanese people," it read.

In the first place it was U.S. and her NATO allies who gave training and logistics to Islamic terrorist organizations. Taliban, Mujaheddin, Boko Haram and others are the handy work of the U.S., her NATO allies and Saudi Arabia. Even when the CIA transports them into Ghana the U.S. will be telling you that they are not there. Which countries need the presence of their chickens in an country so that they can pretend to be driving them away and use it to military control the affairs of any country. Those countries are the U.S. and her allies.

A Sudanese judge on Thursday sentenced a Christian woman to hang for apostasy, in a ruling which activists described as "abhorrent".

Born to a Muslim father, the woman was convicted under the Islamic sharia law that has been in force in Sudan since 1983 and outlaws conversions on pain of death.

Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag, 27, is married to a Christian and eight months pregnant, human rights activists say.

"We gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to Islam. I sentence you to be hanged," Judge Abbas Mohammed Al-Khalifa told the woman, addressing her by her father's Muslim name, Adraf Al-Hadi Mohammed Abdullah.

Khalifa also sentenced Ishag to 100 lashes for "adultery". Under Sudan's interpretation of sharia, a Muslim woman cannot marry a non-Muslim man and any such relationship is regarded as adulterous.

Ishag, dressed in traditional Sudanese robes with her head covered, reacted without emotion when Abbas delivered the verdict at a court in the Khartoum district of Haj Yousef where many Christians live.

Earlier in the hearing, an Islamic religious leader spoke with her in the caged dock for about 30 minutes, trying to convince her to change her mind.

But she calmly told the judge: "I am a Christian and I never committed apostasy."

Sudan has an Islamist government but, other than floggings, extreme sharia law punishments have been rare.

"The fact that a woman has been sentenced to death for her religious choice, and to flogging for being married to a man of an allegedly different religion is appalling and abhorrent," said Amnesty International's Sudan researcher, Manar Idriss.

If the death sentence is carried out, she will be the first person executed for apostasy under the 1991 penal code, said Christian Solidarity Worldwide, a British-based group working for religious freedom.

A foreign diplomat who asked for anonymity told AFP: "We are shocked and very sad to see this verdict, which is not in line with Sudan's own constitution and international obligations.

"We very much hope that this will be corrected on appeal."

One of Ishag's lawyers, Mohanad Mustafa, told AFP that they would take the case all the way to Sudan's top Constitutional Court if necessary to get the verdict overturned.

- 'A constitutional right' -

The defence believes the criminal code prohibition against apostasy violates the constitution, he said.

After the hearing about 50 people demonstrated against the death sentence.

"No to executing Meriam," said one of their signs while another proclaimed: "Religious rights are a constitutional right."

A smaller group supporting the verdict also arrived but there was no violence.

"This is a decision of the law. Why are you gathered here?" one supporter asked, prompting an activist to retort: "Why do you want to execute Meriam? Why don't you bring corruptors to the court?"

Sudan is perceived as one of the most corrupt countries in the world, ranked 174th by campaign group Transparency International.

About 100 people, mostly Ishag's supporters, were in court to hear the sentence which was also observed by Western diplomats.

In a joint statement on Tuesday, four embassies expressed "deep concern" over her case.

She was convicted last Sunday but given until Thursday to recant.

"We call upon the government of Sudan to respect the right to freedom of religion, including one's right to change one's faith or beliefs," the embassies of the United States, Canada, Britain and the Netherlands said in their statement.

That right is included in Sudan's 2005 interim constitution as well as in international human rights law, they said.

Amnesty said Ishag was raised as an Orthodox Christian, her mother's religion, because her Muslim father was absent.

Information Minister Ahmed Bilal Osman told AFP earlier that Sudan is not unique in its law against apostasy.

"In Saudi Arabia, in all the Muslim countries, it is not allowed at all for a Muslim to change his religion," he said.
