The association of UST NPP lecturers is a bad precedent for the country. What happens if a group of policemen form the CPP whatever, a group of soldiers form the NDC whatever, a group of civil servants form the PPP whatever, etc., the end result will be a dangerous powder keg with smouldering wick inserted in it. There will be so much mistrust in the system.
Akufo Addo is just too desperate to be a president he cares less about inheriting a desert/deserted country.

How do you expect me to listen to a negligent pastor. Who only cares about money and not the affairs of the public? Action speaks louder!

It was okay for Kpesa Whyte, Amaliba and Atuguba to join the ndc but it is not good for others to join other party. Nana Akuffo Addo is desperate like i am to rescue the Ghanaian people from this wicked,evil and callous party, ndc is not an attractive party. How can you ask Asamoah Djan to play Susu biribi soccer club when Kotoko has
the men to help him show his skills and that is what has happen. How do you expect these lecturers to join ndc with these students as ministers who are incompetent
and arrogant, how can they join ndc a losing party with babies with sharp teeth. How can they join ndc when men of good substance like Dotse Malor and Atuguba couldn't stand these crop of incompetent ministers so they will go to where they can work and succeed,who in his right mind will join this ndc of thieves who are going to jail.The Most Attractive Party of The Moment Is NPP.

Pastors have every right to speak against ills in our society. Are the pastors not Ghanaians? Do they vote? If yes, why should they be silent when things are not going as expected? We have elected thieves who are using all means to destroy our dear nation all in the name of "partisan politics".

These comments are uncalled for.Don't drag Christ and the church into your personal ideologies.The Bible tasked Christians to pray for those in authority not to criticize them.Sir, allow me to explain to you why we are only told to pray for them.The Bible says every earthly power is God-given.It doesn't matter if you like the person in power or not.God has also given man the freewill to either use that power wisely or unwisely.That is why we are asked to pray for those in authority.In order that,they would use their power wisely.Power can change a man.Do you know how the man who hasn't yet tasted power would act when he gets there?Study your Bible Sir.Respect those in authority and pray for them

I am surprised you didn't say the Bible tasked citizens to worship our leaders.

The same Bible speaks against corruption our leaders are engaged in.

IF YOU DON'T TELL THEM THEY ARE ON THE WRONG PATH HOW WILL THEY KNOW AND CHANGE? WHY WOULD THEY VOTE AND REMAIN SILENT? YOU MUST KNOW THAT THESE ARE ELECTED LEADERS WHO ASKED TO BE VOTED FOR. THEY MUST THEREFORE BE READY FOR THE VOICE OF THOSE WHO VOTE FOR THEM, NOT JUST A SELECTED FEW, ALL VOTERS INCLUDING PASTORS MUST SPEAK UP AGAINST ILLS IN OUR SOCIETY. ELIJAH AND SAMUEL DID THAT.

Well, the fact is, are the Pastors sleeping, or dreaming? Who is preventing the from to be involved in politics? Or is politics evil? Now, who are those in politics? Are they human beings? Are pastors also human beings? Are politicians Christians? What do they study and learn from pastors? Is it corruption? If not then why are they corrupt? Or probably some pastors are not learning from the Power of the HOLY SPIRIT WHO EMPOWER US FROM BECOMING CORRUPT. Or may be the seminary has just turn to be teaching human knowledge and avoid the manifestation of the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRITY; WHOSE WISDOM CAN NOT BE LEANRT FROM SCHOOL.

I do understand the Big Methodist Church in the city helping out to reroof the small one in the village when the storm blew it off.
Too many churches springing up, does this mean" many are called but few are chosen??"
There must be one particular church we should all members of, there must be.

This country, and indeed this world, would have been a better place without religion and churches. Religion is man-made and most pastors are evil, very evil. Poverty is pushing a lot of young men into an industry that has, since time immemorial, been left in the hands of the gullible to monitor. There is no oversight on these Men of God. Most of them are stack illiterate dongons, opportunists and dreamers who think that they can deliver the world - the same mindset with which Jerry Rawlings thought he could stop corruption by killing the perceived corrupt people in society. He only ended up joining the corruption with the wife. Men of God, which god?

THE EDUCATED-ILLITERATE AKYEM-LOOSE-LIPS MARTEY HAS MISSED HIS TRUE AND REAL PROFESSION AS A POLITICIAN, RATHER THAN AND PASTOR, HAS TO REMOVE THE CASSOCK AND TAKE ETHNOCENTRIC-TRIBAL-INWARD-LOOKING NPP BANNER.

SINCERELY, MARTEY CAN ONLY BE A MODERATOR OF THE INFAMOUS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, LARGELY, AKYEMS AND THAT'S WHERE HE RIGHTLY BELONGS.

MARTEY IS CORRUPT AND IS POSITIONING HIMSELF FOR POLITICAL APPOINTMENT HOPIONG THE THE ETHNOCENTRIC NPP WOULD BE LUCKY TO HAVE THE SCENARIO OF BOKA HARAM TO GIVE UGLY AKUFO ADDO THE PRESIDENCY AS IN NIGERIA.

Prof Martey you are lucky you are living under a government which tolerate criticisms.You quoted Jesus as an advocate of change but you have forgotten that Jesus never acted to undermine the rulership of the political establishment.He even warned his followers not to antagonise earthly authorities.You can express your views on issues affecting the nation but that should be done wisely and constructively.Your religious position does not give you the authority to undermine the government through wild and virulent criticisms.

Rev Martey a Presbyterian preacher was completing a temperance sermon: with great expression he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river." With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had all the wine in the world and Corruption, I'd take it and throw it into the river."

And then finally, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river."

He sat down .Kwasi Pratt the song leader then stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn # 365: "Shall We Gather at the River."

Before these pastors complain about the speck in others eyes, they should remove the logs in the eyes of their churches. I bet they always cast the first stone because they are without sin. Amazing!
