It is sad that political parties are always creating problems that doesn't exist. Less than two years into general elections, you can never compile a credible electoral register before election. This is not a simple compilation of names but the list must be tested in a general election before Presidential election; thus even if we have the resources to do that. We cannot test a new register at President election. History will repeat itself if we do that.

WOMAN, YOU ARE NO LONGER RELEVANT IN GHANAIAN POLITICS SO KEEP MUTE! YOU AND AKUFFO ADDO'S FAKE PASTORS' PROPHECIES WILL CONTINUE TO PLUNGE YOU AND THE NPP INTO THE ABYSS. READ THE FOLLOWING.

CHRISTIANS IN UK TO EXPOSE FAKE PASTORS, FALSE PROPHETS, ETC.

A christian movie whose cast is made up of christian actors and actresses from various denominations like Assemblies of God Church, Praise Harvest Community Church (PHCC), The Church of Pentecost, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Roman Catholic Church, Lighthouse Chapel, ICGC, The Porters House, Action Chapel, Salem Christian Centre, Winners Chapel, Methodist Church, KICC, etc, is set to be released in UK, Ghana and other countries soon. The upcoming blockbuster movie was created by a UK-based Ghanaian by name Sammy Ankrah, one of the core leaders and a member of the Board of Trustees of Praise Harvest Community Church (PHCC) headed by Rev Moses Asare in the UK.

Speaking to Midlands News in the UK, Sammy Ankrah, who is a Geo-environmental Engineer and a Pollution Scientist by profession but also involved in church work, said he got the vision for the film in October 2009 when he caught a revelation from a message delivered by Bishop Bernard Owusu Ansah (alias Bishop O A Bernard) of Praise Valley Temple, Holland, during the annual MOVE convention of PHCC in London. According to Sammy Ankrah, who is also a writer, Bishop O A Bernard’s message came as a catalyst to 'push forth' a concern he had been heavily burdened with over a period of time earlier. He said some of the issues he dealt with in the film are real life occurrences he had experienced personally, or had been experienced by other people which those people had made Sammy Ankrah aware of.

He bemoaned what he called “The Elitist Strategy”, which he explained to mean the development in the church where educated or relatively enlightened (per the context) preachers of the gospel cunningly use psychology in the name of God to “subdue the mental matrix” – the reasoning capabilities of vulnerable followers and potential converts to the faith. By so doing, according to Sammy Ankrah, they manage to put fear into their victims and use certain biblical truths to brainwash the victims to unsuspectingly buy into particular self-made doctrines. He said even so-called 'learned' people among the congregation sometimes readily fall victim to such 'schemes'.

The film maker explained that by this strategy, biblical truths are cunningly twisted by such charlatans for their selfish interest at the expense of the unsuspecting vulnerable. Sammy Ankrah stated that although he believed there are real ‘criminals’ who have mastered this craft of deception and invaded the church, the most worrying aspect are the genuine preachers of the gospel who have been influenced by the trend and have consequently resorted to fake strategies to achieve success in their ministries.

“I can emphatically tell you that a lot of people are going into ministry these days not because they have been truly called by God, but they see it as an easy route to achieve financial success, societal recognition, respect and fame. Even where people were genuinely called by God into ministry, some of them soon learn the 'charlatanistic tricks', especially when the going gets tough along the line, and so deviate from the ‘path of righteousness’ to join the bandwagon", he said. This development, according to Sammy Ankrah, is having a negative impact on the church and virtually overshadowing the good works of genuine preachers of the gospel who are doing everything possible to save lives from being lost.

According to Sammy Ankrah, the film was estimated to be completed and released at the end of the first quarter of 2011 but problems encountered during production resulted in a long unexpected delay. It is, however, scheduled to be released later in 2015. More information about the film can be found on the film's website, www.divineintelligencemovie.com, and its facebook page, "Divine Intelligence MOVIE".

She is my choice for president, she would be a better leader than the men we have today. In as far back as 1841, a US president John Tyler, was forced to step down for poor leadership because almost the whole of his cabinet resigned. The leaders we have today do not have the interest of the children at heart, They are after their own personal interest. Hate her or love her but I think she would be a better leader than the men we have today. The truth is that they love Mahama because they can get things their way. Wake up, free your selves from tribal or political chains and for the first time vote with your brains.

The best way to ensure a free and fair elections is to give every Ghanaian a social security number.On this card,will be your name,date of birth,place of birth and finger print.If we compile these in a data base,not only can we do away with fraud,we will be able to check our census with no difficulty.We will vote and do many other things with the same card.There will be a representative of every registered party at all registration centers.We're human beings.We must think and always try to do the right thing.For,our failure to do the right thing is doubling and threepling our cost of development every damn day.This witch, who is calling for a new register knows that the same thing is gonna happen.When I was in Ghana I registered,but when I went to check my name later,my name had vanished into thin air.Let me make something clear-DO NOT LET ndc ALONE TO REGISTER VOTERS!They have so many tricks in registering voters to favor themselves. Nana Addo,talk to all parties to get involved and don't trust National Demons Committee to register voters.No matter how many timws they do,it will always be bloated.This is the time they pay their lazy members to register voters and they give them instructions which they carry out-ie,change every akan name to Ga or Ewe.ABONSAMFOUR!Don't give them any chance to get away with anything.LONG LIVE NPP,LONG LIVE GHANA!

Mr Asiedu Nketsia alias general mosquito who is also the general secretary of the NDC,a nonentity who was picked from the gutter by the first lady Nana Konadu and her husband, must and should take note of the message from me 'Lady'.General mosquito is notorious for registering ghost names.Winning elections and staying in power is more important than believing in God.As long as he can bribe the E.C Afari Gyan,the sky is the limit for the looters and wreckers of the nation.These simpletons and greedy bastards as they are called by their boss president J.J Rawlings, are cursed and they are on the motor way to hell.Good on you Nana, you are reedemed and the truth shall make you free.For once in your life you have spoken about one of the wrongs in our society.Bloated register for election is wrong,evil and ungodly and must be condemned by all and sundry.Winning is not every thing,it is the only thing.Some of us are civilised and will like to have a civilised way of doing things.Asiedu Mosquito Nketia,over to you;Nana has spoken.-Nana Egyir Aggrey Snr citizen

The sad thing ever to have happened to the people of the Volta region is to have this ugly looking bitch and a thief to marry somebody from the region. I don't know how come Jerry came to Marty this thing. Listen to this idiot. Isn't is surprising that this bitch is supporting Akufo Addo that her children are Togolese? This stupid woman should tell us how she acquired the Nsawam Cannery and the 4 million dollar so called judgement debts. She has truly demonstrated her tribal Ashanti blood.

It doesn't make any sense at all to weed out foreign names from the Biometric Voters Register. Rawlings,Rockson,Da costa,Hayford,Mills Graham,VanEss etc are all foreign names.Many Ghanaians, especially from the coastal areas bear foreign names since centuries.Are we now telling our own people that they are no longer Ghanaians or what?I think the elections reports have shown clearly that the Biometric Equipment for elections are not efficient,they have serious technical set backs.Without addressing the technical challenges, the same mistakes will be repeated 100 times.The Biometric Verification scanners sometimes fail to trace the finger prints of registered voters.The Biometric Voters Register scanners have no capacity to detect under age and unqualified people.The Biometric Facial scanners,the technology used by Bawumia has no capacity to give administive particulars like date and place of birth.The elections reports show that the Biometric Voting System in itself has no solution to our problems because of their technical set backs.Therefore,a new register with the same biometric technology will give you the same results.I think there must be a review of the regulations so that we can put new administrative orders in place to clean the register.By the way,the Biometric Voters Register will be displayed in public for scrutiny and for new registration before the general elections in 2016 so I don't see any logic in Konadu's and NPP's statement.Thank you.
