Ghanaians are brain dead including a lot of people in high places and politicians.
Its very very sad that with science and technological development we get non-do- wells or mostly failed people be it education or profession have become our saviours attributing every goddamn thing to spiritual and God. The whole population refuse to use their brains to think only believing in prayers and buying blessings from these charlatan pastors whose best place to dwell is the prisons.
When the economic situation of the masses becomes so dire so they vote against the incumbent govt suddenly becomes "as a result of prayers and prophets predictions"
Our politicians must wean themselves off these charlatans from the Duncan-Williams, Agyin-Asares, Dag Heward-Mills, Mensah-Otabils of this world to the stupid Virgin Pastors. They are all fake and just look at their wealth and assets. Just opposite of Jesus' teaching.
The Koreans, Malaysians, India, Indonesias and all present day leaders in national development are using science and technology and not prayers - dumb Africans wake up - and use religion the same way the people who introduced it to us uses it.
Most trained priests, pastors etc etc do not believe in anything only they have an easy pyramidal way of making easy money

The crux of the matter is that Ghanaians, including the most so-called highly educated, are simply not civilised! Problem is, they are not aware of that. It took Ken Kuranchie a stint in prison to realise that. Maybe, we should lock up more of the highly miseducated
They are bloody-mindedly ignorant with little knowledge except what they have gleaned from the classrooms and the poorly stocked libraries. The academics collect the monies which could be used in the tertiary institutions to stock their libraries as book allowances, which they never used to buy any books, btw.
Now, just look what this write also wrote.
" In fact, humans’ insatiable quest to understand the purpose and meaning of life, as well as the efforts to understand themselves, others, and the world as a whole, including what constitutes absolute truth, are all done via spirituality."
That above is complete bollocks, from a scholarly perspective. He has realised a problem but has no clue about its cause and solutions. It is clear he had no idea about Epistemology as a field of study. He knows nothing about Cosmology and Cosmogony as fields of studies and what they entail. It is simply FALSE that humans try to make sense of the cosmos "are all done via spirituality". Not even in ancient times. Ecclesiastical knowledge or religiously derived explanation for the existence of the universe, events and their causes, why things are the way they are, etc., etc., is only one of the 3 sources of knowledge. The other two are the legal-rational derived from rulers, potentates, authorities who made laws, rules and decrees to stipulate certain things. Hammurabi made commandmenst and claimed them as his own. Moses plagiarised them and lied that they were given to him by Yahweh but we know now through research and discoveries the real source!
And this we know through the 3rd most important source of knowledge today: scientific knowledge! It covers a long list of fields of learning, from Arcaheology to Zoology that apply the scientific methodlogy in explaining the cosms and the very things that religion based knoweldge attempts to explain. It is this lack of scientific knowledge and/or its inculcation into Ghanaians from an eaerly age and subsequent lack of acculturation through the socialisation process at a tender age which is at the root of the problem. The writer himself is a victim of that malaise, since he believes in the religious hocus pocus. It is all bunkum nonsense! No god created this universe in 6 days and took a rest on the 7th.

I am a Christian and I'm not stupid, and neither is my religion. On the other hand the one who believes there is no intelligent designer (God) behind this creation is the one that isn't objective. You see I'm not going to call you stupid just because you are an atheist. I will tell you what the Bible calls people who claim there is no God. The Bible simply calls such people fools.
There is no debate what the writer alleges about the proliferation of so called prophets in the country. The Bible warns us over and over about the rise of such men in such a time as we are living in. It's only people who aren't grounded in the word of God that can be fooled or taken advantage of by these false prophets. What the people need therefore is become astute students of the word of God so they can differentiate truth from falsehood, and genuine men of God from the charlatans.

If your "Word of God" in 2016 is the one written over two thousand years ago by barbarians, then you are stupid.
If you will quote an opinion from the same book to certify the existence of your god, then you are stupid.
If you think that what the people need is to be astute students of a book of falsehoods so that they can differentiate between truth from falsehood, then you are still stupid.
If all the prophets we see around are false, but you still insist that some might be true upon the say-so of a book of false prophets, then you are still stupid.
Now let me repeat that your religion is stupid, no matter what it is because all religions repudiate reasoning for faith and belief, and since reason is what differentiates humans from the lower animals, its repudiation in substitution of faith and belief turns humans into lower animals.
In this context, I am being civil to you by calling you "stupid"!

@ Yaw Adjei,
do know what is solitary confinement dark cell?
It is an extremely torture to break the consciousness and psyche will of a prisoner.
If a human being have been kept for a period of time in darkness, at the very moment a light is switch on, the prisoners eye feels extremely pains and denied to open the eyes to see the light.
You are such a prisoner who fear the truth which is the light because you are kept in darkness since your birth and feed with indoctrination. The truth is a grief for you, but now as a matured person, it is the time to take your own responsibility in your hand to seek the truth in your own thoughts and feeling.
Make an excursion to the cape coast castle to see how the slaves who rebels were kept in an absolute dark cell to break their will. It is really awful.

The strangest thing about this phenomena or craze that I find very disturbing is seeing and reading about the so-called 'well-educated' people in higher places of government believing in these scammers and actually falling preys to their conning ways.
I believe that God created us in his own image... that's why he gave all of us brains... there's nothing more powerful than the human brain and that's what GOD gifted us with so that individually, we can possess a 'direct line' to him anytime we wanted to 'talk' to Him. No individual human being has a lone or sole proprietary rights to this direct line to God so anyone believing that he/she cannot directly get in touch with Him but only through a 'scamming pastor' is NOT living up to the potential God intended him/her to be.
ALL each individual needs to do is go down on the knees at every opportunity to pray, thank God for all his blessings, ask him for his forgiveness and guidance in your everyday life.... know, practise and believe in the teachings of the holy book by using that powerful tool that GOD created you to possess..... the brain.
Just look at how lavishly these pastors live and ask yourself if they are truly doing God's work.
Most church members get to church on public or walk in the harsh sun but these scammers drive the very high end SUV's but don't have jobs that afford them to live this lavishly other than the 'Afua, Ama and Kofi' birthday collections and tithes.
Red flags all over place but failing to use our brains to note these flags have rendered us to be easily manipulated by these crooks in our midst who prey on our vulnerabilities because of the hardships imposed on us by our mediocre political system which allows massive corruption at the highest levels of governments.

As I grew up, there was a belief ikn our family that my fsther was a prophet. I was told that he had predicted the sex of every child born in the family, but he had never got it wrong even once.
My father's prophesy was this: Whenever he me a pregnant woman, he would say: "Madam, I can see that the child in your womb is either a boy or a girl!" Luckily for him, our family does not have a history of twin births, and that helped my father's prophesies always to be fulfilled without fail!"

t seems a man in Cape Town South Africa decides to write a book about churches around the country. He starts by flying to Ghana and working east from there.
He goes to a very large church and begins taking pictures, etc. He spots a golden telephone on a wall and is intrigued with a sign which reads "$10,000.00 a minute." Seeking out the pastor, he asks about the phone and the sign. The pastor answers that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to Heaven, and if he pays the price he can talk directly to God. He thanks the pastor and continues on his way.
As he continues to visit churches in Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Senegal, Cameroon, and on around the United States, he finds more phones with the same sign, and the same answer from each pastor.
Finally, he arrives in the United States. Upon entering a church, lo and behold, he sees the usual golden telephone. But THIS time the sign reads "Calls: 25 cents." Fascinated, he asks to talk to the pastor.
"Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each church I found this golden telephone, and I have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to God, but in the other churches the cost was $10,000.00 a minute. Your sign reads 25 cents a call. Why?"
The pastor, smiling benignly, replies, "Son, you're in the America now. It's a local call."

Lets grants that the authors claims is valid. Today we saw Prof. Justice Crabbe and other Ghanaians, each doing their possible best to make Ghana and Ghanaians have a better way of living. Undoubtedly no one supports fake prophet and they are a disgrace and a danger to us. This is a known and common fact that every Ghanaian appreciates. It is also true and factual that fake prophets will still be with us from A-America to Z-zimbadwe they will be with us. The question is what has the author done PRACTICALLY to make Ghana better. The author should give his readers how he is putting his christian faith to action to move the kingdom of God forward in Ghana. The author can not just live life anyway - drinking his beer or whisky and going after white, black, drown women in Europe and Americas and turn round to accuse these "fake" prophet for the very acts he grossly indulges in. In short I challenge the writer to put his set his lamp on the top of the table. This idea of criticising without having contributed any thing is a empty, hoax and disgusting. Show us what you have done over the year to differentiate you from fake prophets.
As imperfect as the church may be with all its fake prophets its still the best institution - IF you doubt me try genuine or fake juju men, genuine or fake occults, genuine or fake fetish priest, genuine or fake spiritualist etc etc. We are tired of habitual and full time sinners attacking the church. Lets fake prophet also repent.
