The reason why corruption , hegemony , tribalism and retrogression of any development flourishes is that some because of their affiliation to NDC think that they are above the law just like these 2 who threaten judges . NDC thugs have threatened not only judges but Akans trying to bring money , factories and good projects that create employment , for once the judges should find balls of steel and jail these criminals 1000 years each , no forgiveness . NDC Politically motivated blackmail and insecurity everywhere you go .

Mr Baidoo has written a very thoughtful article and must be commended. This is the type of researched write up we need in the opinion column of Ghanaweb. My addition to his comments is that we humans have deviated so far away from God's Laws that none of the types of government we practise on earth is acceptable to Him. Hitler's government was completely unacceptable even by our man made standards, let alone God's. But neither is any other system of government on earth today acceptable to God because they are all based on our human standards which are completely different from what God designed for us millions of years ago. So whether it is Mahama or Obama or Merkel, or Cameron, none of them can claim the authority of God as their source of power.

Mr Philip, you had a well-balanced mind at the time you penned down this piece, unfortunately I analysis of the claim of authority from God was so so deep beyond what that claim actually meant. That is your understanding and I respect. I think that claim was to just to say 'God appoints or chooses whoever He wants as a leader'. The Holy scripture( Quran) says that even God can test you by making you poor, rich, powerful in society, knowledgeable, famous, etc. Even as I agree in parts with you, are we then saying that God didn't know JDM will be President of Ghana someday? or that say JEA Mills will die as a seating President? or JA kufuor will be president someday? Much as I admire good public speeches and educative write-ups, I will caution against blasphemous statements, which I think is your concern, I can understand that. Once again I think the intent of the claim was simple - that w should not undermine or insult higher authorities within our human circles. As for your examples involving Rawlings, etc what do we say about the Israelites who tortured Jesus, Adolf Hitler who killed several Jews?! food for thought. Nonetheless, I have read a few of your pieces and I they are well balanced, fair, educative and rich, keep it up!

Why don't you stop hiding behind the dark curtains of the devil and speak the truth for once. Answer me objectively, are you happy with the way, the mahama led administration is managing the affairs of the country?l think the answer lies in your hear. Some of your argue and follow blindly. Don't forget no kingdom reigns for ever. Mahama"s kingdom will definitely come to an end and you will know the kind of person he is. By the way his two brothers are worth $3.6b. How much do you have?

I think Baidoo has missed the point his arrival seems to tackle/address. When people go to the polls an elected a leader surely God has spoken. Come Baidoo you could do a better comparison /analysis.

Me. Baidoo, ever heard "the voice of the people is the voice of God"? If he was democratically elected like you said, then he was elected by the majority of the people. God spoke.

Exactly then; it would not therefore mean that because he killed so many Jews God didn't have a hand in choosing him.
The people's authority is God's as well because He empowers all people, whether good or bad.

Same could be said about the Kings in the Bible. They were selected and anointed by God through his prophets. They waged war and killed people from other places who are also God's creations. So your point?

You are venturing into other areas. Let's limit it to the article. The authenticity or otherwise of religion is another topic all together.
