WE KNOW ONLY TWO NAMES, NANA ADDO & BAWUMIA. NANA'S LEADERSHIP WITH BAWUMIA IS EXCELLENT. NANA IS OUR POLITICAL MESSIAH!! WE WILL PATIENTLY WAIT FOR HIM TO COME AND LIBERATE US FROM OUR ECONOMIC OPPRESSORS.WE CAN'T PUT OUR TRUST IN THESE YOUNG NDC THIEVES (WITH NO WORK RECORD) WHO WANT TO LIVE LIKE KINGS OVERNIGHT, OWNING JETS, BIG MANSIONS, BANKS, ROLLS ROYCE, DATING MODELS ETC. AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR. BEING A PRESIDENT REQUIRES THE USE OF BRAIN NOT BRAWN. A PRESIDENT DOES NOT "THROW" PICK AXE!!! WHO CAN DO THE JOB BETTER THAN NANA, AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY, WHERE GREEDY CORRUPT , SHARP TEETH ROTTEN PLANK NDC SMALL BOYS, PARADING AS POLITICIANS, HAVE PLUNDERED OUR RESOURCES TO THE BONE, THAT OUR OIL ECONOMY INHERITED FROM THE GREAT KUFFOUR HAS HAD NO IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THE ORDINARY CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY???? LONG LIVE GHANA!! LONG LIVE NANA ADDO. MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOWS!! EVERY THIEF IN GHANA, TODAY, IS SCARED OF BOLD AND MIGHTY NANA ADDO. NANA IS CLEAN !! CLEAN TO THE BONE!

Only a fool will make this sad event political.

These Priests don't receive salaries and all their needs are supplied by the Church. Hard economic times, which is not limited to Ghana alone, has nothing to do with this man's death. If is because of hard economic times, Priests all over the world including advanced countries, will all be committing suicide. Even in America, times are hard for people.

If you think Nana Addo's quest for power will put money in your pocket, you must think again because it will NEVER happen. In fact, I can guarantee you that, your situation will be worse under Nana Addo's presidency.

What do you mean by "Nana Addo's quest for Power"
I think you should CORRECT that statement.
Those in Political office at the moment are the ones who have an unsatiable Quest for Power and would hold on at whatever price.
The Highest Office in the land does not belong to anyone, when your times comes, you step aside for EQUALLY COMPETENT people to Also take Office.

We pray that Whoever succeeds betters the lot of Ghanaians thsn their predecessaors.

At the minute, let's Pray for the Tormented Soul of our Departed brother and support the living.

H. Tawiah, u are very brilliant. The way u gave it to that political ebola man who cant write anything sensible, but wants to reduce this to cheap and stupid politics. Keep it up. It's strange to have a priest hang himself, and he didnt leave any note behind? A lot of things run thru my mind. Has he impregnated someone? Has he borrowed some money he couldnt pay back? The questions are endless.

I maintain that your name should be 'OFUI!!' instead of Ofie because 'Ofui' suits your mind and your infantile level of thinking. As H tawiah had claerly stated, if you think Nana becoming the President of Ghana( which only a fool and unintelligent real person would think)will put money in your pocket, then you should start to think rather hard because it would not happen in Ghana. 'OFUI', Nana simply hasn't got the personality, the characters and the intelligence for serious consideration as a candidate for the presidency for Ghana. Even most of the population of NPP know that deep in their hearts and will continue not to vote for him.

Even priests who are supposed to be good counsellors in these matters are also falling prey to this tragedy.

One of the causes of suicide is severe depression.Depression generally is caused by psycho-social factors.People are going through tough times socially and economically and this in turn affect the state of the mind.Sometimes depression can cause psychotic symptoms such as auditory hallucinations telling an individual to kill himself to end all this problems. It is rather unfortunate Ghana's Mental Health Services are not developed well enough to create the awareness for people on how to deal with depression.

Point of correction! Through the 7 or so years of formation, Catholic Priests are aware of the demands for celibacy. The argument about sex is dumb. May the young man RIP.

God u are the only one who can save ur creation. It is very bad for such thing to happen to the Catholic church which is the mother of all churches in Ghana.Fellow Christians do not loose ur faith in the lord due to what has happend but take that he is only a leader but he still remain mortal like you and I. Let us serve our lord Jesus because he is the only one we Christians look after not people. May our faith continue to grow in lord forever and ever. Amen.
