    Why talk the way you talking like that. Religion has formed and shaped some of society and us, and were grateful to God for that.

    Religion is always a matter that can`t be intertwined but rather respected by each other...likewise, schools, foods, because the school will surely teach the school the doctrine of their Faith as their belief...

    The fact is those religions are parts and parcels of Ghana. The question is how do get their followers to live together. I don't believe that stigmatising them is the answer. We must promote tolerance

    Tolerance is allowing all those foreign religions to come here in the first place. Tolerance is Wesley Girls admitting Moslems in the second place. Now tell me my dear brother - what has tolerance brought us other than the cu ...
