    I find it strange that NDC , a foremost Socialist Party stopped the offering of prayers by traditional authorities for only Muslims and Christians.

    Mahama really got it wrong in every aspect!

    Everyone in the West knows Christ was Non White. Make Christ in your own image. He is Chinese in China. Are you, ashame of the Black image.

    WHY DO KEEP CALLING SOMEONE FROM THE MIDDLE EAST A WHITE MAN
    Nazareth is still in existence google to see if the residents are White.
    Do not allow an artist to rob you of the truth.

    Jesus was black with wooly hair until he got it straightened, and bleached his skin white until he become acceptable to his African followers. The greatest disease known to man is religion.

    Some serious genetic disorder on display here. If it was up to me, I would bulldoze every useless Church in Ghana.

    Agya Atta was the one who stopped the traditional prayers at national gatherings not Mahama

  • APONKYE 7 years ago

    Prof Mills stopped traditional prayers countrywide. Though a strong NDC i was furious at this. Are you surprised the gods dealt with him? Though generally a bad man and a liar, Nana has got it right.

    Because they are uneducated they don't know there is something called African Traditional Religion that was practiced prior to the introduction of Christianity and Islam and is still practiced today.

    Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is the pulsating life of Christ in a human being. It's divinity at work in humanity. It's rather unfortunate that the world still don't understant the profound statement made by Je ...
