    Kwame Yeboah, are you familiar with critical assessment? Sad to read such a crapulent from a supposedly PhD holder. Have you also been blinded by the hopeless African politics?

    "Leap of Faith"

    When did Dr Otabil the "motivational speaker" become a development expert?

  • SARPONG 8 years ago

    The idiot wrote this article without thinking. As typical of African, blame the west for all the problems your thieving leaders have caused.

    Kwabena Yeboah Should put his PhD into good use. Who in his right senses would not preach against Mahama for the massive looting that is characterized his incompetent government. This is the government which the 9-panelled su ...

    I agree with the main theme of this piece but I think the argument is a little bit simplistic. Yes, Otabil is playing a certain kind of politics but the author has not really teased out the complexities of the problem.

    Kwame Yeboah, Ph.D Kwasea!!! What kind of Ph.D are you holding? What university awarded you the Ph.D? Do you think at all before you talk? Ph.D my foot!!

  • Paul F 8 years ago

    Kwame the anger is so much. I think what the pastor is saying is the antidote to the problems the politicians and our leaders have caused us, that you have listed in your write up. Open your mind because you are doing PhD and ...

    "...why you speak the queens’ English in your preaching...". Because English is the official language in Ghana, Kwame Yeboah Ph.D!!!

  • Yaw 8 years ago

    This is a good piece, not that it is on one particular pastor but because it is calling for equity. There are many pastors today parading as men of God and do not do what God wants them to do. Why hasn't pastor otabil preache ...
