Great!
Rampant harasments and social unrest among Moslems has characterized the Moslem Religion as albatross around the neck of world peace, but I think Religion in general, has failed the world of what Religion was meant to be for mankind.
Religion was meant to enlighten us by bringing us together as a people, by assisting us to realize our oneness as spirits, and, by reconciling us to our Maker.
However, Religion has rather disintegrated us and made enemies among ourselves.

Great, you have to be extremely careful with some of the reportage in here. Anybody can put a video across to claim whatever and I sincerely hope this clip is not one of such videos to satisfy one's own parochial agenda.
My very reason is that, some unscrupulous people in the system have been praying the planet Mar criss-crossing Jupiter for the malapropos happenings in Nigeria and of course perpetuated by Boko Haram, to spill over to Ghana so as they can use that as yet another yardstick to chastise Mahama's administration for doing very little for the teaming unemployed youths hence the unfortunate situation.
The video making the rounds could have been taken from anywhere on the continent of Africa and posted as some evidence to an offshoot of Boko Haram in the Eastern Regional enclave of our dear Ghana. We should be extremely careful with such reportage, people.

OFOASE BOKO HARAM ISSUE.
My attention has been drawn to attempt by the Ghana Police Service and press release from some muslim leaders to discredit the Boko Haram story published on Tuesday in the Daily Heritage.
1: I want to state that due deligence was done before the story was published.Because after recieving the tip off from a resident in the community two weeks ago further checks and cross checks were done before myself and Ayeh informed the ER police command, and as a result,initiated investigations into the matter leading to the arrest of some members of the group call "Ofoase Boko Haram".
The police after its preliminary investigations relayed to Us through the PRO of the existance of the group allegedly being backed by the some muslim leaders in the community
The PRO further corroborated that the group aim at running pure muslim community hence muslims who defy their others were punished including a woman who alleged that she was beating 20 lashes each by members of the group for buying food from a christian.After all this briefing,I was given the greenlight to go ahead to publish the story by the police but with caution due to its sensitive nature.
Contracdictions and U-turn by the Police.
At a press confrence yesterday, the Deputy ER Police Commander ACP Abass confirmed that there is existence of such vigilante group but due to their floging activities that they were nicknamed 'Ofoase Boko Harram'.
But in a statement issued by the Zongo leaders in ofoase,they are denying the existence of any group in ofoase zongo.the question is if there is no such group in ofoase,how come has the police arrested 9 members of the group with others at large.
However.,in my publication I also stated that the group is call ofoase Boko haram and that has no symbiotic relation with Nigeria Boko Haram.
Secondly: a victim of the torture by the group has given hardcore evidence to the police and is currrently assisting in identifying the other members.She also confirmed in many radio stations that interviewed her over her ordeal and the activities of the ofoase boko haram.
The ER Police Commander DCOP Yaagy Akuriba on starr fm confirmed that the police have identified such group but are in control with some members arrested.
The leaders in ofoase zongo are alleged to have hands in the formation of the group (Police Source) hence trying to shield the indicted members for fear of being exposed.
All that am saying is that the police must take the matter serious even in a as much as it attempt to allay public fear And deal with the issue instead of attacking the Paper.

Have you read the rejoinder ?and have you noticed the dignitaries ? They are all aliens, Kotokoli and other west African muslims are residing in the zongos so what are the police trying to tell us ? This Boko Harms is
in one of the west African states so there is
the likely hood that this Boko Haram can
be formed in Ghana and I don't know what
the Ofoase chief is waiting for since he gave these people the land to settle, we can't tolerate other people from other African countries only to turn on us as enemies those fighting in Nigeria as Boko Haram are living on their on land in their own country and they have invited some
foreigners to fight for them but these
people living in the zongos are settlers so I can't imagine how they can use a land that doesn't belong to them to practice that evil thing.My advise to them is to be very careful since they do not have a town or region like those in Nigeria, it will be very easy for the army to fish them out of Ghana.

Yes Sir/Madam Somebody, that's the simple answer. Kotokoli is a Ghanaian language. Kotokolis have a home town in Ghana; just search for Kue in the V/R. That is their ancestral homeland.
But don't get petty with a national security issue. In localities where this canker gained head it started and festered with denials. Community members keeping quite and not wanting to give away perpetrators. This is what the police and the nation's security should investigate and uproot. Armchair commentators like you who know nowhere and nothing beyond your bedrooms and villages (and the farthest you've been is your JHS) shouldn't fan bigotry in times when the world wants peace.
In any case, if many of your compatriots live in a locality outside of your own you form a community and appoint/elect leaders including a chief. So you have Zongo chiefs, Ewe chief, Yuruba chief, etc in several Ghanaian towns and cities.
But the issue under discussion is religious fanaticism and security; let's dwell on that. Don't fan tribalism; it helps no one.
Hope you had a merry Christmas; have a happy new year!

If they are settlers that doesn't mean they are Ghanaians, how come the aliens compliance order affected them ? You voltarians must stop this bringing in of the Togolese to make them Ghanaians, if they will accept you there that's fine, but not bringing them to Ghana, Ghana is not a no mans land.There are indigenes who founded this country with their blood and it will be stupid and foolish on the part of Ghanaians for some people to bring in aliens and make them Ghanaians just because of politics.Look at how this country is being run with a lot of aliens whose countries are no better how can our country move forward with people who don't know nothing and cant run their mother countries to prosper manage our country ?

And how were they able to re-enter Ghana?since that time is about 44years ago? So at least there should be some sort of documentation , if we can't trace how they came in then they are still illegal aliens so what are you talking about 3rd or 4th republic ?

The social effects of his domestic colonialism are the anti-developement and the stagnation of our economy we inherit today, with corruption as their prize. The local authority of Akyem Ofoase should take things into their hands without waiting for any directives from this fake gouvernment to investigate and liquidate this silent islamic uprising in the heart of an Akyemland, for their peace . The survival of their Akan traditionnal heritage and customs depends on them. They should protect themselves with all force, from these foreign barbarians .

For those of you cowards who are hiding under cover of the internet calling for and inciting violent, my humble advice to you is "PLEASE BE CAREFUL " because NO one can or will ever be able to fight against ISLAM and win , it will NEVER happen. you can kill muslims, torture them, prosecute them, bombed them, drived them from their homes, towns and cities, but all these will only be a showcase of ISLAM and help spread the true Religion of ALLAH to the world.as ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY clearly stated in Q 61:7
"They intend to put out the Light of Allah with their mouths.) indicating that the disbelievers will try to contradict the truth with falsehood. Their attempts are similar to one's attempt to extinguish the sun with his mouth, which is impossible. Likewise is the case of their attempt to extinguish truth."
so please my dear brethren lets maintain and sustain the inter religious peace we are enjoying now and calling and predicting dooms and war for our selves because when that does happened NO one will get a place to hide .thank you

no one can fight Islam, so that is why Islam is fighting for herself by terrorizing the world? Go to India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Nigeria, SSudan and you can see that wher Islam has great numbers the minorities are suffering from the hands of these blood-licking Islamists... your Jihad is a trouble to the world... all the peace the world cannot have is as a result of Islam but your religion stands for peace. This is why the contradiction sets in. The world would have been a better place without Islam

We Akims have in the past welcomed all the different Tribes into our mists and offered them work on our farmlands.Now they are trying to OWN our lands in so many dubious ways. Come to think even at the Polling Stations during Elections, they vote against the prefered aspirants and want their own tribes man instead. A typical example is Baba Jamal at Akwatia, who even imports people from Nabouring countries, to vote for him. That is why our developments in the Akim Districts are lagging behind and a lot of criminalities going on and on the increase. I urge all the Chieves and Odikros to remove all those ZONGOS from their towns and villages to avoid the timing bombs that is waiting to explode one day. Aword to the wise is enough.

Why should anyone go to Ofoase to ascertain the real truth pertaining to the issue? Why can't the Muslim leaders tell the public what the issue really is if they know the fact.

Thank you. What have the traditional Chiefs to say about this? Their silence and the complacency of the police will come back to haunt us all
the same people denying were those seing in the video beaten the innocent woman, what kind or religion is that, they have no respect for women at all. no wonder they marry as many as they want to.
the right of christians for women is to expose their nudity to the entire world.fooooooools.
