Ghanaweb and lies. Hmmmm. Why do you described this is Noah's Ark? The size or what? They should come to Elmina, is common there. Again, constructing this with their hand will be strange for those not living at the coastal areas. The carpenters in Elmina do this with their normal carpentry tools, so what is news about this? There is no news about this .

Breaking News and Crime Alert !!!. — Bastie is a SATANIC Homosexual

Bastie is a TERRORIST member of Alquedas, and ISIS TERRORIST Organizations

Bastie is a dangerous Enemy of Ghana, ENEMY of Asante Empire that stretches beyond the Borders of Ghana, to Ivory Coast — Cote dVoire and the Borders of Burkina Faso, and Togo, etc

NOTATION. — Bastie is also, a dangerous Enemy of United States for being a member of Alqueda, and ISIS TERRORIST Organizations

Bastie has to be arrested by any means necessary, and face the same fate as Osama Bin Laden

Note. The Public should report Bastie to Interpol, FBI, BNI, and National Security

Ghanaweb should be held accountable for the TERRORIST activities of Bastie and P Djambe who are SATANIC Homosexuals

Bastie, and his paymaster Dormahene who want to create unnecessary Civil War, should be investigated for what he said in several of his postings on Ghanaweb that he fucked the anus of Dormaa’s Homosexual Chief Agyemang Badu II, who in return, is financing his Criminal TERRORIST activities

Bastie is NOT Bono, but a Foreigner feaces, toilet, shit, latrine Carrier in his DNA

Bastie is INFERIOR, and forever INFERIOR to Asante HumanBeings it hates

NOTE. News should be forwarded across Ghana, and around the World !!!

Share the News !!!

So you people believe that Noah's ark was so big that it accommodated all female and male animals on earth? And it is said that only Noah and his family survived the flood. If we are all descendants of Noah and his family how come different languages are spoken in the world? The Noah's ark and the flood story in the Bible isn't credible. The flood didn't cover the whole world and the ark wasn't big enough to accommodate male and females of all animals and birds in the world
