Mr. President, you have to know that learning institutions aren`t meant for practicing a particular religion. There might be some high schools that have churches but those are mission schools and the missions built them.

Christianity is Western indoctrination. The slave traders brain washed the Africans that the white man God is the best. Islam is Arabs religion. The dirty Arabs brain washed the people in the North that their prophet and God is the best. At the end of the day, no God is the best. People always fighting that their God is better than yours. Africans, why do we throw away our God in favour of white man God and Arab man's God. Are we still slaves?!

the problem with this northern mentality is that thanks to jj they now all have an unquenchable thirst for power but never to serve in a team or accept their fellow countrymen . just look around in Accra and study the majority of the businesses owned by these northerners and in the majority of the medium and Small sized businesses you notice they only employ their fellow northerners and practically never employ an Akan . Today in Accra the largest religious building in the country will be the mosque being build on our national park at Nima donated by Turkey confirming the Islamic domination of Ghana. Tribalism mixed with chauvinism and despotism from the north has now equaled the hegemony of the ewes . A.C.C.R.A any criminal can roam about so we have them everywhere now . even at the scholarship secretariat hardly ever is an Akan awarded the privilege to go abroad and study now . The Akans are the majority but because most continue to sleep or blindly trust the other tribes these atrocities are taking place . We look at the political strategy of the NDC and see the typical Hannibal wench when he turned the strengths of the mighty Roman army against themselves as they are doing to the Akans . From the south they use part of the Fantis and from the North the Brongs , from behind we have the chariot onslaught of the Gas Ewes Krobos. Yes the political landscape reflects a war which is only meant to destroy the right of self governance of the God's chosen nation of Africa the Akan . For them its a big deal who leads the NPP but we really don't care as our movement grows stronger by the hour as more and more Akans wake up to reality of this dire situation . We did not ask for this war but we will fight it and be victorious as God is with us .

May God Almighty opens the eyes of Akans who have sold their souls and mind to these Togolese bastards who are determined to destroy Akans. All Akans should take the words of Kofi Awoonor serious. It is a plan that these Togolese bastard have planned to destroy Akans. They can never do it without the help of some Akans like PV Oben and co. A reminder to all Akans. our posterity are being decimated gradually.

I had a friend who had Norwegian scholarship to study in Norway. You know what? All the Ewes and Northners who had Norwegian scholarship air ticket was purchased by then PNDC government led by Ewes. The Akans had to buy their own air tickets. That is what is going on.

That is nonsense if you think you can react angrily to someone's opinion and end up offending others. There are different tribes joining the muslim religion likewise different tribes joining christianity, so "come what may" would never descend Akans' existence and domination irrespective of both religions. You and me know for a fact that, the importance to breach the gab, the Zongo gab which the president is talking about is imminent. Good people always plan well ahead by considering differences and Akans have done that with Northeners and with Zongos within our communities. Despite our differences, Akans embrace non Akans more or less with respect compared to some other inward tribes. Do you think we believe your theory: "we will rule and dominate both you and your other tribesmen come what may"? If we do you wouldn't have had that standard of yours today to even aim for that future.

A friend sent to me the article below recently. Can't take anything from it. Indeed, there's a lot I can add. Someone should draw Mahama's attention to it.

I declared myself not a cultural relativist a long time ago. In the 90s, I actually carried the debate to Okyeame. I was the one who supplied to Nana Acheampong of then online only Ghana Review that call for papers by UNRISD or so for scholars to write on Cultural Theory of Devt. with price tag of $75000 on the winning paper. That theory holds the key to the continuing backwardness in Africa, and why in spite of India's rise as whatever, conditions remain primitive for the mass of people.

Anyway, Ken Kuranchie came out of prison and blurted out that Ghanaians were not civilised due to conditions he saw there. Been wondering why it took a prison visit to fathom that out, since Ghanaians had never been mistakenly classified among the comity of civilised people!

Subject: Trojan Horse debate: We were wrong, all cultures are not equal - Telegraph

//www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/10892606/Trojan-Horse-debate-We-were-wrong-all-cultures-are-not-equal.html

Trojan Horse debate: We were wrong, all cultures are not equal.

Children don’t want to be different, they want to belong: pupils enter Oldknow Academy, one of the Birmingham schools involved in the Trojan Horse scandal.

If I have learnt one thing working with children as a teacher, a volunteer and, more recently, a parent, it’s that what children want above all else is to fit in. The desire not to be different must be hard-wired, so urgent is the need of your average nine-year-old to have the same pencil case as every other nine-year-old. Individuality, much prized in adult life, is abhorred by our conservative juniors, who crave acceptance as the thirsty crave water. “Fitting in” is braided into the DNA of every child, regardless of creed or colour. When the deep, resonant bell of human evolution tolls, it says: “Belong, belong, belong.”

Integrating children into a new society, then, should not present too much of a problem. A football, some Panini World Cup stickers to trade, One Direction, Harry Potter, 97 episodes of Friends, especially the one where Rachel has a baby: common interests for youngsters are not hard to find. So how have we ended up with a situation where so many Muslims are adrift from the mainstream? Why this scandal in Birmingham where five overwhelmingly Muslim schools, some until recently judged to be outstanding, are to be put into special measures because they have sought to inculcate ideas that are repellent to this country?

Let me quote Myriam Francois-Cerrah, a writer and Muslim convert, who told Channel 4 News on Tuesday that she rejected calls by the Prime Minister and Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, for schools to promote British values. “In many ways, the problem is creating a hierarchy of cultures when you say you need to promote British values,” she objected. “What does that say to children in a classroom whose heritage harks from outside the British Isles? It says this country has superior moral values and you are coming from some backward culture whose values you … must not consider equal to our own.”

Funnily enough, that’s exactly what we are saying, Myriam. Spot on! A Muslim girl who winds up in Bolton or Luton should thank her lucky stars she doesn’t live in Sudan – or Pakistan, where, only last month, a woman was stoned to death by her family for the crime of marrying a man of whom they disapproved. Farzana Parveen’s father explained: “I killed my daughter as she had insulted all of our family by marrying a man without our consent, and I have no regret over it.”

Are British values superior to Mr Parveen’s? I do hope so.
Unfortunately, the great lie underpinning the creed of multiculturalism, as spouted by Francois?Cerrah and her ilk, is that all cultures are “equally valid”. Well, patently, they’re not. The reason irate Pakistani patriarchs are not chucking bricks at their errant daughters in the Birmingham Bull Ring is because Britain has a basically uncorrupt police force, a robust judiciary and an enlightened, hard-won system of liberal values that regards women and girls as equals, not third-class citizens.
But instead of standing up to barbarism and ignorance, too often we have looked away in embarrassment or fear. How many teachers have averted their gaze when 13-year-old Muslim girls suddenly disappear from the classroom to be taken “home” for a forced marriage, because this would present unwelcome evidence that some cultures are less valid than others?
How many health professionals in Bradford are concerned, but never say so, that intermarriage in the Muslim community – 75 per cent of Pakistanis in the city are married to their first cousin – is causing babies to be born blind, deaf and with other disabilities? Back in 2008, when Labour environment minister Phil Woolas said that British Pakistanis were fuelling the rate of birth defects, he was slapped down by Downing Street, with a spokesman for prime minister Gordon Brown saying the issue was not one for ministers to comment on. Government after government has filed this thorny issue in “The Too Difficult Box”, the title of a timely new book edited by former Cabinet minister Charles Clarke.

This was all so predictable. Back in the summer of 1981, I was working in a primary school in west London where the children were dizzy with excitement about Prince Charles and Lady Di. The royal wedding was a great unifying event, but there was one group of pupils who were not allowed to fit in. The little Muslim girls did not wear cool, gingham-checked dresses in the heat like the others. Instead, they were dressed in the winter uniform – a polo neck and tunic worn over strictly non-uniform trousers and thick tights. As far as I could tell, no teacher dared challenge this clear breach of school rules. In a similar spirit, it was accepted that the Muslim girls could not attend the weekly swimming lesson.
When a trip was planned to Hampton Court, the children were told they would be seeing Henry VIII’s bed. Somehow, the word “bed”, coupled with the humongously horny Henry, set off alarm bells among Muslim parents, who withdrew their sons and daughters from the outing. This irrational boycott was tolerated. I remember thinking how awful and sad it was that liberal, white teachers didn’t stick up for the Muslim children’s right to play a full part in the life of their country.

It made me angry when I was practically a child myself, and it makes me even angrier now, 30 years on, thinking of the lost decades when good people did nothing to prevent the toxic situation outlined this week by the chief inspector of schools. Music and dancing banned in a primary school because they are un-Islamic. Muslim pupils not allowed to study Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing because it shows young people falling in love and marrying. A preacher who believes homosexuals should be stoned to death invited to address an assembly – in a British school in a British town, forsooth. Children as young as six told that Western women are “white prostitutes”, if you please.

Sir Michael Wilshaw, the Ofsted chief, said that hardline Islamists wanted to impose a “narrow, faith-based ideology” on schools in Birmingham, though clearly the problem is not confined to one city. Now Bradford, Luton and east London are being investigated.

And still our politicians will not face up to what multiculturalism has unleashed: one of the biggest peacetime challenges ever faced by Britain. Nick Clegg, at his most ineffectually Fotherington-Thomas, says he is “sure that all parents will support a wide curriculum”. As if. The promised “dawn-raid” school inspections, which will not give schools time to stage Christian lessons to fool Ofsted inspectors, are too little, too late.

Growing suggestions that all faith schools should be banned because some Muslims cannot be trusted to prepare their children for life in contemporary society are simply outrageous. Why should Catholic, Jewish and Church of England schools, which provide a terrific, disciplined learning environment for millions of children, be forced to cease their good work and shut down? Why must the tolerant be made to carry the can for the intolerable?

The crisis in Birmingham made me look up Ray Honeyford. The headmaster of a school in Bradford, Honeyford published an article highly critical of multiculturalism around the same time that I was wondering why Muslim girls in west London weren’t allowed to learn how to swim. Honeyford was damned as a racist and forced to take early retirement, but how prophetic his words seem now. The alarmed headmaster referred to a “growing number of Asians whose aim is to preserve as intact as possible the values of the Indian subcontinent within a framework of British social and political privilege”. Honeyford questioned the wisdom of the local education authority in allowing such practices as the withdrawal of children from school for months at a time, in order to go “home” to Pakistan, on the grounds that this was appropriate to the children’s native culture.

“Those of us working in Asian areas,” he wrote, “are encouraged, officially, to 'celebrate linguistic diversity’ – ie, applaud the rapidly mounting linguistic confusion in these growing number of city schools in which British-born Asian children begin their mastery of English by being taught in Urdu.”

Ray Honeyford died in 2012, so he didn’t live to see the Leeds secondary school where every single pupil, including a handful of white ones, is being taught English as a foreign language. He didn’t need to see it. He knew it would happen, and what the cost would be, and his warnings were shouted down or put away in the Too Difficult Box.

I think the battle we must fight now really has very little to do with sincere religious belief. It’s about social control, repression, misogyny and cruelty. The battle is about Kamaljit, a 14-year-old girl I once taught, who chided me when I read the class a story about snakes in India, like the good, clueless multiculturalist that I was. “Please, Miss, we don’t like that stuff,” she said. “We’re English. We like ice skating.”

We have to expose Muslim children to as wide a range of experiences as possible so they will feel the gravitational pull of British values. If a Devon primary school recently criticised by Ofsted for not being multicultural enough (yes, really) can arrange a horizon-broadening trip to the inner city, then surely it’s time that Birmingham and Bradford came to Hereford and Hampshire. It was Rodgers and Hammerstein who observed in South Pacific: “You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear?/ You’ve got to be taught from year to year?/ It’s got to be drummed in your dear little ear?/ You’ve got to be carefully taught.?/ You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late?/ Before you are six or seven or eight?/ To hate all the people your relatives hate?/ You’ve got to be carefully taught.”

But there is another song, and a better one, and children will learn it if they are only given the chance: Belong, belong, belong.

this is totally out of ignorance. You allow yourself to be delude by the so called christians, muslims, hindus etc
to delude your brain with lies. This comment of your has really called for a refute. In fact i will urge you to go back and read those verses in the quran that speak about killing/terrorist etc And am ever ready to reply to your sentiment.
What is wrong with this talk of the president? in fact you people are the arosers of misunderstanding or religious indifferents in the country.
these are the primary cause of those wars happening in those asian countries(as you try to suggest to yourself that islam is not peacefull religion).
my friend Ghana is peace, let it be still peace as we see it.

You can say any offensive thing against Christianity but be remembered that your present ability to read and write and to use the internet is a by-product of Christianity. History has proven that most of the modern day inventions are the product of the Christian religion. Isaac Newton, George Stephenson, the Wright brothers, and a host of others were all Christians. Tell me what Akonodi, Kwaku Firi, Antoa Nyamaa and the so-call African gods have done for our nation. Isn't it sad that these fake god do not have Ghana at heart? Just last week chiefs in the Central religion were demanding sheep and money for their gods before the Aboso power plant ld function. An Nzema chief is demanding money and other rituals before they allow the gas pipeline to be constructed in their lands. What kind of gods are these? The contrast is that the Christian God rather provides for His children and does not ask for any pacification.

They are first to preach peace and the most intolerant of opposing view, so quick to issue fatwas and declare Jihad. They call the non muslims infidels but their infidelity is next to none on this planet. Never trust what they stood for until they get at you. In Ghana, Islam is the only religion whose members are always at each others throat. Sunnis and the Shites sets are always killing each other. Allah Hu akbar and they are killing in the mosques and on the street. They never disown criminals amongst them. We know you before Abraham was and they haven't changed till today.

Something our Ghana magicians have not reached yet and our dwarfs cannot prevent. Where does Ghana go from here? I don’t know much about these and take my hat off! The announcers keep saying Ghana cannot be eliminated. What does that mean? Eei! Nigeria is playing next – ESPN and I may watch it. Folks, Let me tell you al one thing for sure: If we can eliminate the crooked and corrupt selfish and greedy leadership we have, stealing and ruining the chances for Ghana to develop, and we plan well with good intent and mindset for our people as one nation,. I can assure you we are co-equals to any nation on earth!!I sincerely believe it! I have been in the US for 45 years competing in school and business and everything,, and I don’t see us any different human beings who cannot do what Americans do! Save what is within us and our leaders who have created an exclusive greedy bastard club run by evil dwarfs!! i.e., it is our own inner demons we have to abhor, the selfishness, and see and love each other and do the right things for all to live and enjoy our beautiful country!There is no nation like Ghana! No nation! Just look at where we are located on earth! We are the envy of all! The central location on earth with human and material resources, optimal temperatures, climate and environment, optimal sunlight and time, and Passion of our people for our country. It’s pride and excitement, and yet sadness anytime I think about Ghana! "

Blackman really does not use his sense/head. No am wrong blackman uses his sense except that blackman will always do things that will enrich himself and impoverish his fellow citizens. That is the difference. The difference that I observed here is that in advanced countries their forefathers and most of the present generation were not as selfish as our politicians are today. They sacrificed for the better good of their society than their individual benefits (in the use of public funds). It beats my imagination that a public institution could be spending such a colossal amount of money every month when they can just buy the office or build another office for themselves. Ummmm.......I weep for my country!We cannot afford basic amenities for ourselves, water , electricity, sanitation, roads, schools, decent accommodation, etc and yet we waste so much money through corruption? The NPA CEO (PRESENT AND PAST) or whoever signed this tenancy contract should be ashamed of himself. 'Julor kwakoi' 'pen robbers' such people are not different from the Atta Ayis and should be given the same treatment as the 'armed/street robbers'.

I disagree with you hundred percent.The problem is not the religion itself but the people who practices it. Unlike christianity that has a broad base way of teaching,Islam has many intepretations by ignorant illiterates.Why should eduation be a crime on this earth? I am not sure if the Koran says so. Some years ago, I was in a camp in Italy with these muslims,and they always want to dictate to the mission,the Roman catholic mission, what they want.More than 90 percent of them can not read the Koran,let alone inteprete it. Which God says you should kill those who do not belong to your religion, so you can go to heaven? The best thing for us to do in mother Ghana is to prevent that foreign influx of Islam taking root here. The Iraninas must be watched carefully, since they have a hand in what is happenig in Nigeria.

Will someone tell Mahama to just shut up and concentrate on expunging corruption that has paralyzed his inept administration? Listen we are no idiots. The Muslims are quiet in Ghana because they know what will happen to them if they start any crap. To me any religion that jubilates at the killing of innocent children and women is inferior. Any religion that believes and propagates violence is inferior. Any religion that sees women as subservient is inferior. Any religion that views others who don't embrace their call as inferior humans is definitely inferior.

President Mahama's advice is sound and very timely considering the climate of hatred, and mistrust created by European Jews, Christians & Muslims, who continue to kill each other in the name of their meaningless invisible alien gods.

.Hiistorically, invaders have entered Africa, bringing with them their versions of religiosity and imposing those alien versions on enslaved Africans, as they (the invaders,)colonized Africa.

Today, alien religious ideologies dominate the African Continent, they control thousands of schools and other institutions of mass confusion and miseducation, leaving many Africans in a state of mental stagnation incapable of managing their own affairs.

I'll use K. MANU's comments as an example of how Eurocentric miseducation, can cause mental stagnation in Africans. Here's a grown man who thinks that Africans became literate with the advent of Christianity, the poor brother doesn't know that African literature predates all other world civilizations, Africans were writing when Europe and the Arab world were non existent.

Europe produced non of the major religions (Judiaism, Christianity and Islam) that some eroneously refer to as western religions, all began in east Africa and was plagiarized by
Europeans.

Those who claim to have access to the Internet, should use said system to educate themselves, instead of spewing ignorance of world history while attempting to promote Eurocentrism.

P.S. My initial post disappeared, the football comment was not mine, I have no idea where that football stuff came from, Ghanaweb pulled a neat trick on me, I swear.

But I have a question. Do some religious groups actually feel superior or inferior? Point is, you cannot make the superior-minded become inferior-minded. It is up to the inferior-minded to become like the superior-minded by metamorphosizing ideologically and culturally. For example Boko Haram must grow up from sixth century thinking into C21st thinking. Same applies to Anthony Kone of Uganda. A word to the wise is in Ghana.

Hi Brethren,
I lived in Ghana for 14 years and it is their tribal marks that is their saviour. Abraham gave the Tribal Mark of circumcision to his Real son Isaac and not to the Ishmael of the Gentile.

These days, people from India of Aryan race are getting circumcised as if they are born of a father having the seed or semen of Isaac. What a stupidity? So, African have rich culture and these Mammon infested Europeans have looted their Gold as well as culture. I have put up over 3800 Youtube Videos on Christianity and these sectarian riots you see around in the M.East are going to flare up. Keep your tribal identity and honour your Village tribal Chief.

Atomic War is expected in 2018 but before that Israel and its colonies USA and U.K. will attack a country making Atomic Bombs. Then real tribulations and Jews would be rushing to Israel as they did in 64A.D. Same patron.
