  • SGT ANANI FIADZOE 9 years ago

    Nana is the next visionary President
    after President Nkrumah and President Kuffour.

    Nana is the worst. The man did not want to mention names

  • Theophilus 9 years ago

    Nkrumah was not a leader but a brutal dictator who ruled by fear, that is not the wisdom we need. It doesn't take a genius to be a dictator.

  • Repugnant. 9 years ago

    PROPAGANDA TAKES GHANA NOWHERE.

  • Oslo 9 years ago

    Mr. Moderator, if you are intelligent and not corrupt you can't be a leader in Ghana pure and simple. In other wise you have to be intelligent and corrupt to be a leader in Ghana.

  • Sappey-Agboh, Atsiame-Lagbokope 9 years ago

    The Presbyterian Church is a neocolonial agency, thus can not seek the interest of Ghana and Africa. The Abram religions undermine the struggle of Africa to economic independence that some even bought factories and turn them ...

    Being Christlike doesn't mean the Rev shd only concentrate on the religious needs of his congregation whilst their physical needs are unattended to?Christianity is not like pagan worship where leaders are not questioned.

  • Dan,Tema 9 years ago

    Folks the least said about this so-called man of God the better. Johovah is the SUPREME JUDGE who shall decide his place in eternal life.

  • Onipaba Of Akyem Maase 9 years ago

    The moderator has all the moral right to criticize government. His congregation has contributed immensely to the development of this nation than all governments put together.

  • Breko 9 years ago

    You have not proven the president is corrupt. The real corrupt people are Ghanaians including businessmen who refuse to pay their taxes or contractors who do shoddy contract work.

  • JMP 9 years ago

    He should join the NPP officially and stop pretending that he is a pastor. Does his church have members from both NDC and NPP? If so what sense does he make when he loudmouths this way

    Dear Moderator,
    You and kind are always talking about
    wise and intelligent leaders.
    If you think the President and his team are not wise, why don't you lead us; or you are also not wise and intelligent?
