Well said. This is an example worth emulating by other Men of God. Be bold, tell the truth and the truth will make Ghana free.

I agree totally with this guy. In most civilized countries, government and some private workers are not allowed to talk politics in the office, they are supposed to stay neutral, so no one knows what their political affiliation is. For instance security personnel are not allowed to mount political platform in their uniforms.

every con man always useslong talk and plenty of bullshit to buttress his scam and thats what atuguba has done here in the hope that since most people can not follow up he can get away with murder. i am surprised he didn't write a new bible , the fact remains the elections were definitely rigged , pepeni killed mills and now used another pepeni to to commit another travesty of justice . immediately after the ashowo minister has now commissioned with the chinese new ports in the volta and other non Akan areas so now i hope they told the chinese we Akans will not pay for that including the hospitals and have already lined up enough yams and mangoes to pay for these projects since they have no gold oil or cocoa . pepeni stop using and abusing Akan money , steal from you own gonja and ayigbe idiots. we never get anything good from you only poisoned water and lies every day

Right call by our revered Chief Imam. The public service is too 'politicized' and 'tribalised' for a modern bureaucracy. Need for a national open dialogue for a forward looking bi-partisan policy to address it. It is TOPMOST challenge to the Better Ghana agenda.

OF LATE, I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO SPEECHES OF THIS NATIONAL CHIEF IMAM AND HE MAKES SENSE ALL THE TIME. THE MAN IS VERY INTELLIGENT EVEN IF HE AN ILLITERATE, I'M NOT SURE. IF HE IS NOT, GHANAIAN MUST HAIL THE FREE EDUCATION OUR NORTHERN BROTHERS ENJOY. THIS IS ONE OF ITS FRUITS. THE MAN IS A REAL ASSET OF GHANA. UNLIKE SOME OTHER RELIGIOUS LEADERS WHO ARE THERE FOR ONLY THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. WOULD OUR MUSLIM BROTHERS LEARN FROM THIS HERO AND STOP BEING USED TO TRIGGER VIOLENCE, CORRUPT ELECTIONS AND GOVERNMENTS?

\\\\\\\\\\\What you call yourself does not really matter.Your assumption that this great man of God is illiterate makes me look at you as the illiterate. But I must be intelligent not to call you an illiterate rather an ignorant fool. This great man is not only knowledgeable, intelligent, brilliant in his uterances but a docterate in the arabic language. I dont think in your family tree..there is anyone more educated than this noble man. Think well before writing your "bugabuga" english next time. Nam.

While walking down the street one day a Ghanaian Senator is tragically hit by a
truck and dies.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter. 'Before you settle in, it
seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you
see, so we're not sure what to do with you.'

'No problem, just let me in,' says the Senator.

'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is
have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to
spend eternity.'

'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the senator.

'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.'

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down,
down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green Grass football stadium.
. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his
friends and other politicians who had worked with him
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his
hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the
expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of soccer and then dine on goat meat, Red Snapper and Whisky
.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good
time dancing Azonto and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he
realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises ..

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is
waiting for him.

'Now it's time to visit heaven.'

So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving
from cloud to cloud, playing the drums and singing. They have a good time an,
before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose
your eternity.'

The senator reflects for a minute, then answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I
mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in
hell.'
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land
covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it
in black bags as more trash falls from above...

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. 'I don't
understand,' stammers the senator. 'Yesterday I was here and there
was a Soccer Stadium and clubhouse, and we ate Goat meat and Red snapper, drank
Whisky, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full
of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?'

The devil looks at him, smiles and says.......

'Yesterday we were campaigning. Today you voted.'

YOU CANNOT BE IN HEAVEN AND HELL,YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE WHERE YOU BELONG TOO.
ITS ONLY THE TRUTH THAT WILL MAKE YOU FREE.

You have the wisdom of King Solomon we indeed need neutral institutions and people who think of the nation.
