I also had to pause at some stage to read the title again. This the strategy journalists use to force readers to read their article. However we are also in the global world and depend on other countries as well so may worth reading but devoid of it's excitement.

the problem with this northern mentality is that thanks to jj they now all have an unquenchable thirst for power but never to serve in a team or accept their fellow countrymen . just look around in Accra and study the majority of the businesses owned by these northerners and in the majority of the medium and Small sized businesses you notice they only employ their fellow northerners and practically never employ an Akan . Today in Accra the largest religious building in the country will be the mosque being build on our national park at Nima donated by Turkey confirming the Islamic domination of Ghana. Tribalism mixed with chauvinism and despotism from the north has now equaled the hegemony of the ewes . A.C.C.R.A any criminal can roam about so we have them everywhere now . even at the scholarship secretariat hardly ever is an Akan awarded the privilege to go abroad and study now . The Akans are the majority but because most continue to sleep or blindly trust the other tribes these atrocities are taking place . We look at the political strategy of the NDC and see the typical Hannibal wench when he turned the strengths of the mighty Roman army against themselves as they are doing to the Akans . From the south they use part of the Fantis and from the North the Brongs , from behind we have the chariot onslaught of the Gas Ewes Krobos. Yes the political landscape reflects a war which is only meant to destroy the right of self governance of the God's chosen nation of Africa the Akan . For them its a big deal who leads the NPP but we really don't care as our movement grows stronger by the hour as more and more Akans wake up to reality of this dire situation . We did not ask for this war but we will fight it and be victorious as God is with us .

The current political & religious opportunism in Ghana must cease! Now! You can't pay teachers who serve the state but can sponsor the pilgrimage of muslims? What about the needs of the majority Christians in Ghana - including the mission schools which are now being targeted for exploitation by muslims?
Prez. Mahama, NDC & NPP don't sell off our country to religious deception.

The hiatus of this unwise expenditure of the taxpayers money, which became institutionalize under Rawlings, is a welcome news. If it is not necessary to give cash allowances to train teachers and nurses then it is absolutely balderdash to sponsor the Boko Harams and the Al Shahab to Mecca to learn how to kidnap and throw bomb. The free education in the north should also be abolished.

Govt dont air fare and places for for them to live. Govt gets doctors nurses and foreign office officers.
It is only Muslims who the govt sponsor, the govt sponsors every ghanaian in different countries ghanaians are.
No Muslims will ask the govt to pay for their
pilgrimage. All Muslims know its not a MUST to make pilgrimage to Arabia, it is something if you have means to do it.
The security of any ghanaian is as important as any ghanaian. The govt of ghana is helping churches in UK and so many countries. The govt dont go round given money but it pass the thru the govt hard work in that country.
Ghana embassy in all those countries has the duty to sponsor an ghanaian in the country they are representing ghana.

I strongly believe that the government of Ghana will follow suit and do same in Ghana. This is a good move, provided it would be wholeheartedly accepted and implemented.

Doesn't know the difference between Nigeria and Ghana. Was always at the bottom of my geography class. Scored F in High School final geography examination and still remains ignorant of basic geography facts.
