Who told critising the government is ugly noise? You are not a christian so you cant understand these thing, the bible says the things of the spirit are stupid to the canal man.
Ghana is suffering , its an open truth and are the So Called Men of God you disrespectfully called them, are they not Ghanaians? or because they dont talk for your party you are unhappy.
Are the americans an opposition party in Ghana? Yet they all talk about our hardships.
Recently it came out of how bad our economy has become by 2 international ecomomist, are they an opposition party?
You are a hater of truth and poison to Ghana, you are like Ebola and have to be cured.
The So Called Men of God will always talk and wont stand as presidents.

Thanks for telling Bokor exactly what his bigoted and partisan ears need to hear. Asking the men of God who criticize the president to be bold and become President is as childish and sarcastic as asking all those who criticized the Black Stars for their sordid performance in Brazil "to be bold, enter the playing field and go play for the Black Stars. It's like you are only allowed to criticize if you can fit into the same boots and jersey sizes and enter the playing field as the sub extraordinary and out-shine the player you substituted. This is bull crap!

Everybody is complaining bitterly but very few dare speak the truth . We shall never move forward until the undeclared war against the Akans, discrimination of the majority and anti Akan propaganda hate agenda is resolved. One must fight fire with fire , war with war not kisses or playing ignorant to the reality . the northerners , ewes , Muslims and other traitors of the Akan interest are systematically destroying the future of the Akans . There is no democracy or govt of the people and by the people but the slow establishment of the caliphate of pepeni murderers using a system of corrupt govt that makes irrelevant all institutions of state in the form of a Saudi style monarchy of mahama and his brothers . Despite our huge potential and the fact that any true patriotic nationalist govt can definitely turn the economy around in less than 6 months , we are bogged down in this situation of undeclared war of the ayigbe and pepeni mafia who have hijacked all institutes of state . only a bloody revolution will set us free . everything we have predicted over the past few years has come to pass and there is more evil to come until we stand up accept that we are at war and must fight back. Even Obama now realizes this caliphate is a serious threat to mankind's peace and unity . All religions are from God but over time the devil ensures the good is interpreted by the wicked and used to cause harm , the righteous know religion is meant to ensure unity and goodwill amongst men not pain and suffering or discrimination. On one hand we have the mafia ndc killing our people's future and around the corner nana chooses as his closest allies northerners who will continue the agenda of hate , wait for the clarion call for freedom and spare none of these criminals in the political oligarchy of corruption and evil . JJ and his ayigbe criminals started this process and God will continue to punish us with hardships and pestilences if we do not stand up

Thank you Dr.Bokor, if you have dared the christian leadership to take the political mantle that is good news, because I have been thinking for some time now that, it is high time we true christians redeem this dear country of ours from destruction from unscrupulous politicians. I know exactly where you wanted to land and my guess was right. From all intent and purposes Dr. Otabil will be a good leader for this country and I think we will make it happen.We christians have left this country for so long into the hands of greedy and greedy politicians to ruin our destiny and that of our children's children. We need very honest, visionary and selfless leaders WHO FEAR GOD to govern this country. Like you rightly said when they ask Jesus "are you the king of the Jews" he answered "you are saying so". By the same token I am convinced that you think Dr. Otabil can take the mantle of the leadership of this country and I strongly believe so.

Someone who worships the cedi instead of God cannot be said to be a man of God. Otabil's postures over the years has clearly exposed him as using religion to steal from the poor. And the reason he is in the news again is simple; the funds are frying up.
Second, Otabil should be told that God does not fix economies but, people do and hence must stick to his gospel.
Now, my question to Otabil and his gangsters is why are there so many churches in Ghana yet we are poor, underdeveloped, indiciplined, corrupt and full of social deviants if the so-called men of God have truelly succeeded in their calling. Why are they silent on the Ebola virus and cannot claim to have foreseen it? Where are TB Joshua's, Owusu Bempah's, Bosumtwi's of Obuasi and the like.
How come the most Church going Countries on planet earth, Nigeria and Ghana are not the most advanced countries yet, Countries such as Britain, Japan, US, Germanany to name just a few are least bothered about God but, highly advanced.
Instead of Africans using their talents productively, we spent entire life on church and religion and produce lazy thinkers, beggars, talkatives, corrupt officials and wait for the West to help us when there is a problem.

You sound too pedestrian and sometimes incoherent for a Ph.D holder. Politics of the nation impacts every individual and every aspect of life so men of God, being first citizens, possess the same fundamental rights of every citizen to comment/complain about relevant national issues. Religion is also a way of life and if it so happens that the politics of the nation is impacting negatively on Ghanaian lives then men of God cannot sit unconcerned and pretend all is right. As spiritual leaders presiding over a group of citizens (congregations), they're empowered and opportuned to raise the voice of concern if elected political leaders are perceived to be misdirecting the affairs of the nation and causing unmitigated hardships on the people. Men of God are not on the government's payroll so they are not expected to be sycophants and adulators for politicians of any shade. Is this a concealed gag order meant to solicit the president's favor? Just asking. Challenging the men of God "to be bold and become President" is such a perverted supposition that could only drop from the partisan lips of a snobbish PhD holder.

Abrempa, you come across just as partisan, noisy and as Bokor. Granted, Otabil's rights to "comment/complain about relevant national issues," are guaranteed and protected by the constitution, incessant criticisms of the government ultimately turn stale minus the provision of practical suggestions and solutions to what is ailing the economy.
Otabil conveniently forgets that the genesis of the economic challenges facing the country TODAY can be traced back to the ill-advised and poorly timed decision to peg the cedi to the dollar without a solid exportable commodity as a basis to shore it up. And electing to emerge from the HIPC on the advice of the starched bureaucrats of the IMF was premature.
It was a disastrous financial policy that would eventually have BITTER ramifications.
All told, before Otabil and his ilk wade into what has rapidly become a cottage industry in Ghana...the vilification and outright condemnation of Mahama.....they should be cognizant of these facts....economic booms are predictable...they end up in busts...

And electing to emerge from the HIPC on the advice of the starched bureaucrats of the IMF was premarure."
Do you have any verifiable proofs for the above statements because I recognize that this is the singsong of the dyed-in-the-wool Mahama apologists or are you merely conjecturing?
Otabil is not an elected official so he's not in any way obligated to offer practical suggestions and solutions to those who solicited, contested and won their coveted positions and are being paid fat salaries and juicy allowances. What became of the hoarsely advertised but coarsely implemented NDC slogan of"Probity and Accountability? Where much is given much is required so someone must accept responsibility for the paralysis of the economy. I'm very convinced that the real causes for the economic meltdown are unbridled and unprecedented corruption in government, profligate spending and incompetency. And what is the guarantee that the "Yentie Obia" gang will listen to suggestions from Otabil or any other persons when they had earlier parried off all suggestions from Dr Bawumia? All said and done I do appreciate your candor and enthusiasm.

I have always had my concerns about the character of the founder of the party and in 1994 in the now defunct Ghana Drum I wrote an excoriating piece about the "famed" Flt. Lieutenant. That said, there is a preponderance of evidence to show that Ghana should have stayed put in the HIPC program until its economy was unquestionably sound.....and yes, the IMF urged Ghana to exit the program on the strength of an anemic economic growth that was projected to be the best in Africa at the time.....
With regards to Otabil, his constant vilification of Mahama has began to sound hollow, and being a man of God does not preclude you from proposing solutions to what is becoming an intractable problem of poor management on the part of not only the NDC but all the previous civilian and military administrations....
Political slogans are conceived primarily to woo voters and once in power, victorious parties very often fail to implement them....NDC is no exception. Major political parties across the globe are guilty of this cardinal sin, so to speak....
Unbridled and unprecedented corruption, profligate and incompetency are the characteristics of all the parties who have ruled Ghana....so by inference, the NPP is just as responsible for the economic malaise plaguing the nation....don't you think?

His frustration with the most corrupt and useless Ghanaian government is palpable, yet having been paid to do so, he has to painfully churn out articles in support of the government. Bokor be honest with yourself and Ghanaians, doesnt Otabil have a case? Wasn't he speaking the truth? Like Kpessah Whyte and the other presidential staffer, Apaak, you "dishonest intellectuals" have sold your consciences for Cash and have nothing constructive to offer. Otabil, is a priest. Thats his job, but he's also a Ghanaian and has a right to comment.

the breakup. Mr Bokor please correct it. The rest I agree with. These are not men of god. They are charlatans and thieves. They are carnies who scam people using tricks and circular arguments to make them look intelligent. They also count on the general ignorance of ghanaians to give them a pass. It is why they thrive. An intelligent mind would ask why Ghana with all its men of god continues to sink and Monaco with its little number of men of god, thrives and succeeds. The men of god in ghanaian communitties are the symptoms of the depth of the rot. Like cold sores or herpes they are indication of how infected the national body is. The nations is roting and these men of god are the saprophytes(fungi) that feed of the roting body. They cannot run the country because running a country requires reality based assesments and facts. Running churches require fantasy, fakery and the illogical. That is why despite their ramblings, they cannot improve the lives of their members.
