HOPE HER APPOINTMENT WILL NOT BRING DISCONTENT. WE CANNOT SIT DOWN AND ALLOW THESE DISGRUNTLED AND MISGUIDED GAY ACITIVITS FROM AMERICA TO COME AND TELL US WHAT TO DO. NANA OYE MUST BE CAUTIOUS IN HER POSITION OR GHANAIANS WILL RISE AGAINST HER CONTINUED STAY IN THAT MINISTRY. OUR CULTURE FORBIDS PROMOTION OF GAY ACTIVITIES.

Barrack Obama, David Cameron, Fracois Hollande will force this down our throats. If however our resources are really used for the common good and not for parochial aggrandisement, we should be able to manage without aid from these countries. Another issue is that we may have to run to them to ask for military aid just as Mali did. All of these could come with strings.

40% of our budjet comes from foreign donors - to pay for health care, infrastucture development,education, promotion of democracy and democratic institutions.

The U.S. and the EU should cut off this aid and let these backward Ghanaians(MFs)continue to live in the Dark Ages.

That is a big lie! Show the proof. You are ignorant about a lot of things. What you don't know is that majority of Americans frowned at this evil, dispeakable and abominable act, and will for the rest of their lives not accept it. Ghanaians need to embrace democracy, but should not accept every foolish behavior that would risk changing their pure and rich culture.

According to Mr. Kugblenu, the Ambassador’s meeting is a normal thing that happens every time a new ambassador is posted to Ghana. “Normally when ambassadors are posted to this country, what they do is that they hold meetings with high political office holders such as His Excellency the President, Speaker and the Chief Justice.”
CAN THE GH AMBASSADOR TO US PAY A COURTESY CALL TO THE HOUSE OF REPS OR CONGRESS IN AMERICA? THE US AMBASSADOR IS JUST THERE TO SUPPORT GAYISM IN GH. THESE PPL SHOULD LEAVE US ALONE. SHIP ALL THE GAYS IN GH TO THE US

I have had the opportunity to talk to some foreign diplomats in Ghana and else where in Africa.The truth is these foreign diplomats in Africa do not take our leaders serious and they have no respect for them in private.Because they are able to invite you over a cocktail and make you don what they want against the interest of your people and nation anytime they feel like.Foolish African leaders and politicians who behave like children after taking some good amount of whisky at a cocktail organise a mere foreign diplomat in your own country.Most of leaders and oliticians are a bunch of idiots and good for nothing.

Don't all people have a rite to choose what is acceptable or not. What you are describing are issues poverty etc., cant you just accept that the majority of Africans do not accept homosexuality or even pedophilia although it takes place. Just because we have those evils in our societies does not mean we have to accept additional evils.

In addition pedophilia and defiling/raping of little girls is now out in the open, but before was hidden as the perpetrator was paid off.

As you adopt the holier than thou attitude towards Trokosi or Tigare or other African traditions, I commend to you the reading of the Bible where Abraham prostituted his half sister and wife. Traditions, they have a way of bedeviling us all, especially in instances where we have insufficient knowledge of them.

it is delusional to think this govt is anything but a criminal mafia that killed mills ,rigged the elections and has now implemented tho worse form of minority dominated govt by making ghana islamic . they are here to rob us blind and enslave us in our own country , Akans will leave eventually but it seems we will have to call the referendum sooner than expected on that matter . The economic mathematics guarantees the Akans will have european or western standard and money within a year of breaking free from this prison called Ghana

What about freedom from your own shackels of tribalism, incompetent, filth, public defecation, lack of self respect, unemployment, illiteracy, unnecessary deaths, poor roads, ignorance, bribery and corruption, public servant thefts, lack of 24/7 water and electricity, vote rigging, bribery and corruption. Count the number of comments that will attack these issues in this forum by the end of the day. There are more important issues to be addressed than to worry about how someone lives their life. A bunch of fools and cowards crammed in a nation called Ghana.

As an U.S. citizen, I'm pretty sure our government was trying to influence the parliament, maybe not short term, but slowly and in the long run. I'm not saying anything for or against gay rights I just have a strong feeling this was, or will be in the future, promoting gay rights, equality, etc. Again, just stating what I feel is happening, not my feelings on the matter. But I could be wrong. Blessings,

Our problem is the corruption and/or exploitation of most Ghanaians by the ruling class, including but not limited to the NPP and NDC and their foreign agents. Let's not have our focus shifted to groups that are not as powerful as the exploiters who are taking money out of the pockets of most Ghanaians and thus condeming us to the perpetual state of a third world country.

Gays are human just like the rest of us and need our respect and fair treatment. However, we must not ignore the fact that this abnormal behavior is destroying our society and the order of nature, and needs to stop. If gays want to live their life that way, fine they can go ahead and do that in their secret, but to redefined marriage that is a big no. Personally I believe this is a disorder and needs to be diagnosed and treated just like any other disease. Finally, the Bible and all other religions clearly spoke against it and that equally justify how united our society is concerning this issue.
