Oh, I insult Rawhide Rawlings, Boakye Djan, the Tsikatas but I have never been disrespectful to a whole ethnic group in Ghana. And how old was Rawlings older than me and the many people he allowed to be tortured and killed. At any point in time, I shall insult him and Boakye Djan, Nkwantabisa, Akatapore and all the fools who committed horrible criminal and evil acts against Ghanaians especially people who were Akans. They were horrible evil man. At the same time I praise some of them for the very little good things that they did. I don’t mince my words.
Efo Jeremiah John Rawlings and Boakye Djan were more evil than he Adolf Einstein combined. He was more evil than the Devil. Why did some Ghanaians jubilate when they heard that he was dying and has died? Even some of his own tribesmen did not like him. It extremely good that it was Covid that killed him. I would have liked him to die from a very horrible Cancer..

Appreciate your own. He did not use the name of Jesus to dribble somebody at the occasion to collect his money. He also did not ask anybody to pay collection to be given to God only to end up in his pocket..He simply prayed and as you can see God listend to him. Cant you see the rain was so minimal than everybody anticipated..

The priest was making "frantic efforts to control the skies" The odwan is you, who sheepishly believe in this type of nkurasifuor nkwasisiasem. Prayer is just a request, but CAN ANY MAN CONTROL THE SKIES?

It is silly on your part to rubbish the beliefs, culture and traditions of a particular group of people.

Truly, because superstition works in mysterious ways in real life, those spiritualist were able to "held back" the rains from disrupting the ceremony, by reciting incantations & "prayers" to the lesser "gods" and really NOT the almighty "God". The lesson is that, many super-natural "forces", do exist in this world and they rather control certain things ... example ... the universe, the sea, even the forest etc , but not the "GOD" himself.

so why cant we conjure development? it is sickening the manner and way which we are loyal to the traditional systems but we cannot transfigure that to develop, alleviate poverty and behave as humans but rather exploited for some parochial interest. but one day, the tables will turn and the masses will wake from their slumber. great culture and display by all standards but how can these culture serve as a niche to drive development and etiquette.
