    THIS IS JUST AN ATTEMPT TO BUY THE CORRUPT CLERGY IN GHANA. THESE PASTORS ARE FLEECING THEIR CONGREGATION ANYWAY.

    Terribly Spe cifiC is the American version of a white Supremacist. Its a desease and nothing can be done about it. We must be very aware of the fact that there are some group of people in Ghana that we AKANS must never loose ...

    I think Bokor is getting disappointed with his showboy Mahama. Having heaped vile vituperations on Mahama's main opponent on the political arena, now the NDC intellectual champion is getting agitated with the imbecile Mahama ...

    THE LEVEL OF DISHONESTY IS AMAZING?THE GOV'T WILL CALL OFF THE TRIP (PRIVATE)IF THE PASTORS ARE AGAINST IT.THE PRESIDENT IS NOT CAPABLE OF TELLING A GOOD ANANSE STORY.

  • PRIVATE SPONSOR---EDEY BEE KEKE 11 years ago

    THIS STUPID FOOL CALLED MARGARET JACKSON DOESNT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE NDC GOVERNMENT. I CAN RESPECT MR BOKOR FOR BEING HONEST WITH HIS FELLOW GHANAIANS.

  • kobina Ebo Nketsiah 11 years ago

    This issue is beating a lot of minds, can Mr. President come out and be sincere to Ghanaians and let us know what is really going on.

  • Ateabisa 11 years ago

    To advise the President?
    I figure the appointment of people like Atubuga,Sulley Gariba,etc,was to herald a return to'rationality';and to move governance away from superstition and folklore.
    Three months into his mandate,thi ...

    Good! This is the Bokor that we have all been waiting for.

  • Wiafe 11 years ago

    I am an NDC sympathizer--but sad at Mahama's behavior. The courting of the clergy just indicates that Mahama is fearful and desperately needs prayers. But Mahama--prayers are free--just ask. Even Pope Francis is asking for h ...

    I AM JUST WONDERING IF NPP SUPPORTERS CAN BE AS COURAGEOUS AS YOU. I SALUTE YOU, BRO. ANYWAY, IN MY BOOKS NPP, NDC ARE ALL THE SAME. AFRICAN POLITICIANS CONTINUE TO DISAPPOINT.

    It's heart-warming to note that Michael, a long time NDC acolyte, seen by many on the other side of the aisle as a doubting Thomas has finally joined the ranks of the true converts.
    How much longer are the other doubting Tho ...

    Before 2012 elections Nana Akuffo Addo and some executives were in Israel crying at the wailing walls for the God of Israel to give them power. That power like a mirage fleeted at the polls. The question to ask NPP members is ...

    There are five working days in a week for Ghanaian workers, and two set aside as "free."

    Who says that Sunday is celebrated because it was institutionalized by Jesus Christ as "God's day"?

    What is Sunday to us in Ghan ...

    Just who are the Levis you're talking about? If you mean Levites we don't have any in Ghana.
    The state should not sponsor any religious pilgrimages, period, Mecca or Jerusalem. How can we use our scanty national resources to ...

    The President is scared over the prophesy of doom by Prophet Owusu Bempah. Additionally, he is bound to be defeated at the Supreme Court hence, seeking God's intervention via the pastors. Has not God Himself revealed to many ...

    These new NDC leaders in the Castle simply don't have the intellectual grounding to understand the implications of the issue at stake, and so CAN'T GET IT! It is all part of the intellectual bankruptcy of most "educated" Gha ...

    You write an article and portray the Government as weak or paranoid because it want to assist needy pastors? How cynical can you get? So then why did government donate vehicles to national house of chiefs last year? The house ...

    The whole president held a meeting with the pastors and you still want evidence of government involvement? Does the president have any real work to do?
