Thank you. In fact, they are all enemies of Ghana, because Kalabulism has filled their hearts and not the pretentious word of God they masquerade about.

If you study the various complains carefully, you would see that some of them come from real human brain while others are from the rat holes. If your criticism is constructive, why would it not be supported? In truth, Ghanaians need a change in the mind-set or we will move only of revers gear. The REV. is 100% correct. Anyone condemning him is just showing a negative attitude towards the progress of our nation.

The reason why gh economy and development has dwindled is becos we don't invest in ourselves, our economy and in our development, u canchange your mindset all u want but if you continue to not invest, continue to pillage ur resources, u don't use ur revenues to invest in the country but engage in create, loot and share, corruption, don't provide financial incentives for needy and exceptional students, don't invest in infrastructure etc. Then nothing will change. Last I checked these Anglo Saxon nations still wear kilts during their ceremonies. Go to eastern Europe, India, asia they all maintain their cultures and traditions. The difference between them and us is investment. They invest in their infrastructure, schools, science, technology and mathematics, Invest in africa, their stadiums etc. We don't. The leaders steal from the public purse and invest it in a foreign nation. The money is then taken and invested by the foreign nation to grow their economy. U Otabil how many investments do u create with all the collection amd tithe money? Any high schools or daycare? Any apartment buildings? Any banks? Any markets or public toilets? Any gyms or restaurants? How have u created jobs for ghanaians with ur influence and wealth? U don't even pay taxes....show us ur tax returns

Its funny, really funny when people know, acknowledge the truth and only voice them out when it suits their choice of governance or government. God's punishment is upon them for deceiving them people.

That not withstanding, Mensa Otabil must not be believed by even his own congregation.. but of course they are all vulnerable, have no mind of their own, believe in the so called men of God . So many people have lost their identities as children of God, believing and enriching individuals of dubious and dangerous characters as Otabil.

Otabil and his likes cannot avert death which is the ultimate after birth, they cannot stop diseases of this world that are either curable or terminal. They can only pray on your dead body when you exit this world, BUT who cuts your oxygen off ? GOD, who breathes into us when we are awake each morning God, but most importantly whose and pilgrimage mission are we here on earth for ? Otabils or Gods ? It is time we look seriously within ourselves, it is time we have a one on one with God when we are awake from the very first breath each morning.

Simply put, we don't need the Otabils and related pastors in this present word we live in. What we need is ourselves, our God, our love for the Christ and most importantly how we communicate. For each and everyone of us is endowed, each and everyone has our gifts from God and its only when we stop, look and listen that we find our way. SHALOM

Entirely, everyone has created misconception about his statement.I was live at that programme. His message was about complaining bitterly about issues that poses as obstacles in our pursuit of our life goals. It had nothing to do with political governments. He mentioned two types of obtackes; the one unseen/unplanned & seen/planned. And be said with the unseen obstacles you cannot change it so then do not complain but find out how you can go about it, instead of wasting time to complain. Even if you still want to divert it into politics, then he rather spoke in favour of NDC. Cos he clearly said during the high increase in the dollar, you as an individual go not on your own change it. So why do you complain instead of creating a way to go about your business. So please let's not be bitter about the Astute Man Of God. Otabil is a man of Integrity and proper personal development. He has achieved a lot and a role model for many to learn. Many of us possibly has not lived even up to 1/3 or 1/2 his life

Pastor Otabil is right. The world keeps changing and we're caught up in the crossfire between change and advancement versus the stagnant culture. If we want to be part of a fast growing and change prone world then we must quickly make up our minds. The culture we're so proud of is our nemesis. Every continent and its people are quickly adapting to a fast changing world except Africa. The Asians are just as very proud of their culture as Africans but it isn't standing in the way of national development. We can choose to stick with our unchanging culture and become isolated from the world or we can march in lockstep with the progressive world.

2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.

5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.

Romans 1:18-32King James Version (KJV)

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

We talked to put the government on its toes. Besides you aren't the only knowledgeable person in Ghana. Neither its u alone who knows what's right or good. If you don't see something bad and others can see dey should shut up n wait till u talk. Ghana is for all of us not for politicians. By de way u are entitled to ur opinion. But don't shut us up

It's true pastor,more so when it's coming from people who presided over the economic for 8 years but failed,they re the people complaining the most but before that we were told Ghana wast the fastest growing economy in the world and just two months of losing power all they do is complain even when stolen vehicles re being collected from them.Thank God Ghana is free now,free from the hands of corrupt individuals who called themselves leaders,people after stealing so much still wanted to take state properties as retirement package as if there's no tomorrow,the true character of a person can be find in his actions and it's now clearer who has the interest of generations yet unborn at heart,a simple accommodation for our Vice President is costing us $14 million dollars yet the former president saw nothing wrong with it,someone who enjoyed free education before.We all saw where Dr Bawumia attended his primary education so really it's about where you leaved and schooled?ndc says we should save money for our children future when they re being sack for not paying school fees,so with what brains would they manage the savings?in the next elections Ndc members in parliament should be reduce to 50 members only.

Religion is setting us backwards faster than anything in this country. Why the hell would people be singing and dancing every Thursday, Sunday and evening of the week while blocking other people from even getting to work on time. Religion has become the opium of Black people. And now the organizers of this nonsense are complaining about backwards mindset when they are the ones propagating it.

Ash, I am surprised at the comments against him. I had to go back and read again to check whether the comments are justifiable. He was talking about the complaining attitudes of citizens and leaders in the first place - I thought leaders now are the NPP government in power now. I think people are just looking for the opportunity to insult him. Unfortunately, most of these people haven't may not be married. Even if the have, they have no legacy to leave them in the event of death. Nothing has been achieved by them in their community, not to talk about the district. regional and national level. Check his contribution to the nation. Most influential personality in Ghana. No wonder when he speaks people shake. If Obinim had made these genuine comments, no one would have commented. Go go ooo Dr Otabil.

Your preaching was in 'reverse gear' throughout NDC's eight years. You took your whole congregation on a "backward mindset" ride, yet you took their monies to 'forward' your life. The congregation should wise up.

I read once then I saw.begative comments. Then I went.back again to read the news item. Then I saw the video. So I watched it.

Clearly, these.negative comments are coming from NDC supporters who have not recovered from the shocking and painful loss in the recent elections. They digg into what cannot be dug and find intents outside the speaker's clearly communicated intentions for every speech one makes. Then they personalize it. Then the negative comments starts. This is what was happening with some FM stations.They thought were anti-NYC stations. And it led to their downfall. When he speaks, it worries them. Your negative comments do not worry him. Watch out for the next speech.lol

The statement he made about complaining was to leaders and the citizens. So I would have thought that he is speaking to the current government in power. If NDC had just come into power, they would have said Otabil is saying they shouldn't give excuses by complaining. The leaders must work and deliver. And that NDC supporters should shut up. No matter what he says, people are ready to twist his intentions even when it is clearly communicated. Dr feel free.
