    After having 6 balls of Kenney and Tilapia for lunch and after belching aloud, Franklin Cudjoe has the audacity to spew our garbage in the media, telling the president what to do. I simply shake my head (SMH) in disbelief!!! ...

    Thank you Sir! These critics, are just idiots and choose to be ignorant of simple facts. The President, made it clear how the project is to be financed, yet, workers of iniquity won't stop playing mischief.

    I don't have any problems with Turkey, but does it make any sense to build this grandiose mosque for moslems when their communities live in places where there are no schools and hospitals. For the percentages just check the l ...

    Did Cudjoe listen to the President about how the project would be financed. Just wants attention so raises issues about things which in the long run exposes his ignorance.

  • Sakibou 7 years ago

    I thought I heard the President saying that the project will be financed by philantropists and the various churches in the country. If that's the case, what's Mr. Cudjoe's problem?

    It is not the dutyof the state to build catedrals after all Ghana has too many churches.It is equally a waste of national paying for any religious body for a trip to Rome or Mecca.

    Opposing to this commendable initiative by our visionary President should not be condemned. It is time for our leaders to built monumental edifices so, H.E, go ahead, please.

    We the believers in Voodooism also want a National Shrine House to be built for us because our country is secular so must benefit all religions. Traditionalists also pay tax.
