NDC PROPAGANDA MACHINE no matter what you do the people are slowly waking up to the reality that is ndc . ndc is a mafia criminal organization with extremely malicious intent which thrives on fueling conflicts between brothers while through the back door looting anything of value until one day the country becomes a barren desert with a poisonous toxic environment. We know your tactics well anytime an Akan stands up or a righteous methodist priest cries foul you set about destroying their reputations or pinning all kinds of lies so they are practically lynched in broad day light. the govt acts like its a copy from north korea led by mad men with hearts of stone . waa look at your ministers mike hammah / hannah tetteh for example selling out our future in the our own ports that they did not build and latter on saddling us with 200,000 chinese galamsay , these are your ministers of transport , lands , industry and foreign affairs , we are doomed for if just these 2 toxic individuals can do this imagine what the rest are doing . ndc has selected the worst characters backed by the hegemony of the ayigbe and the tribalism from the north . these worthless people who cant even put together music or a song that we can enjoy because their hearts are consumed with evil hatred for the light of the Akan. God did not even give them better music which is free why should we give them anything?these dregs of the toilet refuse to see the evil the ndc are securing for their own people . instead of creating sustainable industries such as food processing and organizing cash crops just as the cocoa was done , cotton processing all the way to fashion designing and branding which would give their people millions of jobs the rather award bogus senseless contracts and phantom projects for outrageous kickbacks. at any moment there are over 500 factories, processing plants and institutions that can be set up in the volta and and 3 northern regions but that would mean over 10,000 in Akan areas due to the higher potential there so because of skinpain they chose to do nothing . they say our women are ugly apes but they cant help dreaming about their beauty as when you look at their women one sees their beady rats eye look, cruelty and thieving desires . yes we are not the same and do not have values that are in anyway compatible as we live in different dimensions . when the ec calls for the referendum i hope the question is put so we ask our people do we really want to stay together or to each his own . personally i do not believe they will ever change rather things can only get worse and end up in a war . long live the republic of Akan

Just take a profound look at most Christian nations today, from Spain, Portugal,Greece, France and even England, all these nations are in fact not doing so well.Their wealth that other people (Africans) had made for them under forced labor is rapidly disappearing.
In contrast, the Scandinavians who do not believe in nothing are better off than these lazy Christians. And all over the world, non Christian nations have a better work ethics than the Chritians the Ghanaians want to emulate.
The cheating and lazy behavior and waiting for somebody to create your reality for you was typical traits of white Europeans.
Before the Europeans got to the Africans, we had no concept of hell.
Hell was the reality of the white man who had nothing. Today, he exchanged that reality with us who got everything but think we're poor and he who had nothing is the rich one we want to be. That psychological trick alone got us exactly where we are.
For thousands of years the black man traveled the earth and settled while it was until the 14th century the European who though the earth was flat and by venturing out, he would fall into abyss of hell, strayed and discovered the black man already in every where he claimed he discovered and decided to use and enslave him for his riches and wealth.

This is what I conclude in the above article, which has not as yet ran off this wall:
'I do not believe in religions but am interested to search their cultural significances. What is germane is, that although our traditional abosum, like all religions - including, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism – are mythical. They are unrealistic, spiritual bugaboo (object of fear or alarm; a bogey). But they do have some importance and relevance to our traditional cultural and economic sectors. I propose their replacement with the sustainable political ideologies, of Socialism and Pan-Africanism.

Science and technology implies an advance knowledge of science and maths. The mobilisation of all our people to implement the 10-15 year Development and Modernisation Programme, implies HARD WORK - WORK AND HAPPINESS as Dr. Nkrumah's CPP called it in the 1960s.

I take umbrage at the writer's assertion that Hinduism has contributed to India's industrialization and technological advance. Hinduism is the source of all the religious strife in India. It is the dominant religion and its adherents are highly intolerant of other religions. India's technological advancement is due entirely to post-independence leaders who placed a huge emphasis on science and mathematics in schools. Six decades later, India is reaping the dividends of this investment...and to maintain Hinduism accounts for the country's rapid advancement is pure bull....

Can you read yourself?
People who had a culture that do not believe in foolish manner falling from sky, do not count and wait on others to provide for them.
Our Christian mentality had allowed us to wait on others especially if that person happened to be "our christian mentor" the white man, we're even ready to wait more and count on him without knowing we've been taking for a fool.
So after 50 years we could not foresee that we needed the strong science and math foundation.
It took a certain mentality, as nothing happens in a vacuum, for the Asians to think the way they did, which Ghanaians could not. And that is independent mind set that can only come from an African centered mind set that not even the Pope cum all anti-African forces could wrestle from us if they see our growth could impede upon their interests for cheap raw materials.
But if your mind is not yours as a Christian Ghanaian leader, it is so easy to derail your good intentions for your people without even you knowing it.
If the people who made coup for Kwame Nkrumah had known we could be this useless by the year 2014, they wouldn't have attempted it.

mky,
I never said what you are saying here. This is what I actually said:
'Comparatively, Indians have retained their traditional Hinduism. Like our abosum, they also worship: rivers (Ganges) the sea, trees, mountains, rock-stones, elephants, snake, and rat gods (in Ghana we eat these creature before they become gods!). But by historical accident we swallowed the white lies and shunned our gods. Result: traditional India has found its cultural self-confidence. This has propelled her to the pinnacle of space-age science and technology.'
Yes I visited India for 3 months. I noted in cities like Jaipur that they were a divided people along religious and ethnic differences. But my reasoning is that despite all these, India is focused industrially.
The operative words here are: traditional India, self-confidence; propelled, pinnacle, space-age, science and technology - DEVELOPMENT.

Sikaduro has never been a good thing whether done on an individual level or by a whole community. Our traditional religion talks about the Supreme Being and he is the only one worthy of worship.The fallen angels were kicked out because they wanted to be like God.They are here now and will offer any person who is hungry for money a little bit of money if they will go down on their knees and worship, just like Jesus was tempted to do.
One more,pretending to be a christian does not make you a christian. Most of those who go to church do so just to please the eye,the priests themselves are mainly wolf in sheepskin or grass skirt in dog collar. You see most of the okomfo are in churches pretending to be preachers.Dont blame the current hardship on the sprouting of churches for they are not genuine churches.
Lead a clean life,love your brothers and sisters,pray regularly and see what happens to you. If you do that and you dont practice vodoo underground you will be fine.If you eat salads all the time but add a lot of fatty foods to it, you will be doing your health no favours. The same applies to your spiritual health.Magic is nothing

To come out of the quagmire, we should change our ways and relate to God, go by the Bible, and all its principles. Visit www.scoan.org, and listen to the preachings of 2nd February 2014. We should select people who qualify and not people who are our tribesmen, brother; relatives, etc. We should extend LOVE to all and sundry. Take care of the needy, widows, strangers and the less priviledged in society. Gigantic liers, occultism, vodooism would only destroy us and lead us to destruction. Remember to read the bible and go according to the ways of the bible and God will turn towards us again.

In my opinion, what's going on in Africa in general is not about worshiping our gods or not but one thing we have to keep in mind is our ancestors used to have their ways and means of worshiping God without deities too. They used drums, music and dancing to communicate with God.What have we gained from being a Christian or an Islam besides hating and killing each other.Now we're practicing their cultures and throwing ours. Before the Colonials and Arabs. it was very easy to identify ourselves through our names, tribe or culture. Now if is not Mary is Peter, if is not Mohammed is Fatima. Not just our names, we're giving up our believes, language,products and even our diet. It came to a point that you speak your own language they laugh at you.Our own languages are out of the education system and they've been replaced with English, French, Arabic, Chinese, Italian and so forth. Why we have to practice someone else's culture or language and destroy ours. Are we so ignorant that we can't tell that Christianity and Islam are destroying us? Like I previously said we all have the right to choose our denomination but being a Christian or an Islam doesn't have nothing to do with our tribes or culture. Now a lot of people go to funeral with a suit because they're a man of God.Where in the Bible or Koran that says we have to throw our culture? We're dying from a lot of diseases that wasn't part of black medical history because of foreign foods with a lot of chemicals we consume every day instead of our own diet.If someone died in his or her early age we blame the witchcraft.Africans is time for us to think twice. This is 21st century is not too late to make some changes.
Ghana is sick because of corruption, terrible leadership and management, tribalism and partisan politics.
