What do you expect when we put uncouth, and morally degenerated people whose parents did not do very well in training their kids who now become responsible for public institutions? What can a descent public expect from them.
They enjoy the filth themselves as their moral compass is not there.

......and talk with no action. Even it was JJ Rawlings who reminded Ghanaians of these fake pastors/crude magicians in Ghana acting irresponsibly.

All of you Ghanaians only talk and take no action. You jump onto the street to demonstrate for stupid reasons like dumsor, not such crass acts perpetrated on the innocent by these crude magicians claiming to be pastors. We are not serious as a nation and it will take a very long time to have such leaders like JJ RAWLINGS.

Very true. The disregard to tradition and the lukewarm attitude and the silence of the traditional chiefs and king as custodians of our culture and tradition is also frightening.

I am in bed with this editorial comments but I blame this on the high rate of gullibility among Ghanians. In our social,political and religious life majority of us fall plat.

the acticle on bishop obinim is presented in a bad light. the many miracles and good things GOd has used him to do in peoples lifes, has never been given any head line caption.
He is under spiritual pressure daily to meet the hopes of hundreds of people with varioues predicaments and trobles.he who does many things is likely to make many mistakes but with time he shall become successful in many things.
the media should appreciate the bishop by stating some of the remarkable miracles and deliverances people received through the man of God.

Just listen to this goat. Continue wallop in ignorance. He's under spiritual pressure from where? This idiot used his feet to press on the belly of a pregnant woman and rub on a man's dick on TV and you're here defending him. It's only Ghana fools like these can get away with such acts. Don't they have laws on public decencies and if so, I hope this agent of satan get fined and banned on TV.

Isaac Salaam, you're entitled to your opinion. But truth is that this very article on Obinim is spot on! It hasn't been presented in a bad light at alHe could be a friend of yours, an admirer, whatever. Yet none of those can take away the fact that his own hot-tempered, violent, aggressive, belligerent, unforgiving nature account for this public lashing. One man trying to take the whole country by storm? Today we hear he's attacked an Accra radio station and vandalized property. Tomorrow we hear of an affair he has had with his own assistant pastor's wife. Another day he's on air alleging that he has cursed his assistant pastor's ward and made him go cripple. Once in the heat of their marital tango, his wife Florence who had sought 'refuge' abroad, threatened a divorce. News had it that he would commit suicide if his wife failed to come back. What kind of 'man of God' is this, eh? No wonder the Good Book has said 'And ye shall know them by their fruit'. Period! In all this I lay the blame at the doorstep of our irresponsible, unscrupulous 'talk -much-do-nothing leaders. If it was the ordinary poor man walking the streets who had been in the centre of this wahala, he would have been languishing in jail by now. We're all watching.

Don't hype your Islamic sentiments here while trying to blame the man of God Do you know what it takes to effect a healing miracle? Are those who were healed complaining abt any infringement of their rights? OB shd continue to shame the devil in the light since the devil, (darkness) cannot comprehend the light. Next time expose your ignorance on this platform or I will be compelled to tag you as member of the dreaded boko haram whose main reason among other reasons is the way women dress. They will have everybody darkly dressed like demons to pls them Don't infringe on pple',s rights bokoharamically and called it decency, You can start that in your own home let your entire family dress darkly from head to toe and nobody cares a fig abt thatm

Where did Ghana go wrong to merit such nonsense?

I really like this editorial. Some so-called 'pastors' are really misbehaving. But why not? We don't have strong institutions with noble men and women in charge to check some of these monstrous behaviours.

If we want to learn or copy from the West, then, for goodness sake, let's just go after the good and great things that have come to be associated with western civilization.
Do we have any laws in Ghana and whose responsibility is it to enforce these existing laws? If there are not enough laws in our statute books to take care of the miscreants in our midst then new laws need to be passed without any further delay. Notorious Obinnim deserves to be in jail for deviant behavior. Instead, he's relishing an undeserved surge in popularity while giving us the middle finger and daring us to catch him if we can.
Do we as a people cherish and glorify lawlessness? Is this our new norm? These questions have become necessary because lawlessness in Ghana at the moment is mind boggling. It makes you feel like we travelled 100 years back in time. Do we have any responsible leaders at all? These bizarre and deviant spectacles debase our culture and humanity and we should refuse to be defined by them . Too many people are sleeping on every job that defines us as a responsible and civilized nation. Now it's well past the time to declare a national 're-awakening day and wage an unrelenting war on lawlessness because without law and order we are doomed to destruction.

Why allow him to continue perpetrate such nefarious acts with impunity?
For latest act he should be arrested for indecent exposurel. Can someone walk naked in Accra without any consequences then this beloved country has been given to the dogs..
This charlatan, the man whose manhood was exposed, the cameraman and whoever posted it on should be arrested and charged with indecent exposure.
Oh! My goodness. Some sensible people in authority should act, please.
