Some religious leaders need help themselves. Some are bed fellows with politicians for financial gains,not to offer wise counsel. We all now find ourselves in a pit.

Our so-called LEADERS are Wall street cut-throat capitalists, whose religion is to satisfy their lust for iconic houses, luxurious cars and sexy women at the expense of the ruled who are wallowing in misery. They want to look like Hollywood celebrities wearing expensive golden neck chains like drug barons. They expose their chests and necks for miserable Ghanaians to see and guess how much money they have been able to loot from the nation's coffers. They hate the very people they swear to serve and develop including their own family members if they happen to be God fearing and poor.

A leader may be religious but not righteous,how could a good Christian like Kufour sell a state land to himself?He is part of the reason why NDC came to power in 2009.

RELIGION HAS SUCCEEDED IN MAKING GHANAIANS LAZY AND DOCILE.
THERE IS NO CONVINCING EVIDENCE THAT THE SO-CALLED GOD EXISTS SO THE CONCLUSION IS THAT THE SO-CALLED DOES NOT EXIST.

GHANAIANS HAVE PRAYED FAR TOO LONG AND NOTHING POSITIVE HAPPENS TO THE COUNTRY.

INSTEAD OF A FORMER PRESIDENT MOTIVATING GHANAIANS TO WORK HARD IN ORDER TO ENHANCE PRODUCTIVITY, HE IS PREACHING. SHAME! SHAME!! SHAME!!!

This man forgets Ghana is a secular state,where religion and state are separate.His call for religious guidance as a tool of governance proves the back attempts to impose religion on this nation.

Belief in the supernatural is actually what is holding back our development.
Look around : you do not need to be a rocket scientist to find that survey after survey shows that the most religious countries are by far the most corrupt and mid governed on this planet!

Just look at Ghana and Nigeria.

A lot of religion but absolutely no morals or ethics.

Nobody needs religion in this world.

Listen to this FOOL. Did he apply the principles of whatever religion he believes in when he was the president? What religious principles guided his selling of state assets such as Land, Ghana Airways etc. to himself and his cronies? What about SEX with Castle Workers at the castle and many more? You FOOL, reconcile with God before you die and stop this hypocrisy.

Is it just any religion that we need? The Boko Harem, Al Shebab, ISIS, etc. are all religious.

Did religion mean anything to you when you were President, given the depth of your own personal corruption and that of your henchmen? Did you use religion to guide your NPP and all its leaders? What about the cocaine business you presided over and that financed your NPP, the chief financier being Eric Amoateng? Did religion play any role when your own appointed police chiefs made whole bags of cocaine disappear from their custody and you hoodwinked Ghanaians by setting up a fake commission to investigate, which commission declared it couldn't determine how the cocained had disappeared, as a result of which you were so pleased that you promoted this devilish woman over and above all her seniors to the position of Chief Justice?

Mr. Kufuor, God will surely one day visit His vengeance on you and all your comerades in crime. You and your followers may continue to pretend that you were a clean presdient, but Ghanaians know who you really are. If you truly believe religion plays a crucial role in a person's life, then turn to God and confess your sins of corruption and accordingly make a restitution. Only then would your hearers take your speech about religion seriously.

If what you are preaching did not work for you, then why are you preaching? What he is preaching is not working for him, but he is still preaching!

A thousand churches and mosques in Ghana yet we have the worst record of good nation building leaders after 1966.
How have religions assisted us looking at our current moral fabric.Even the clergy engage in homosexuality and stealing from the poor so why would they question the corrupt politicians?
These group of men are are an impediment to world freedom and citizens right to basic utilities and liberties.
They lack humanity for selfish reasons .

So you too have not learned up till this time? What religion are you talking about Mr.? Haven't you seen what religion has brought to this world? I hope during your time as a president, you traveled a lot so I hope you saw many things and after all this you are still defending religion? Please stop that, bcos without religion we can move as one people. Look at what is happening in our various cemeteries, it shows how far religion has brought us. A roman catholic cannot be buried in methodist cemetery. Mr. President don't cheapen yourself by defending these wicked religious groups.

Mr ex- President of the Republic of Ghana, I totally disagree with you. It is religion that has brought us as a nation to this sorrowful state as a nation. Look at leadership of Western or developed countries and even their citizens and judge if it is religion and not pragmatism that has brought them to where they are now. Religion is a bane in our development.

I think the leaders of today and those they lead in Africa need ethical education to make them govern well. Religion is fake and has no role to play in today's world
