    Muslims are the same. Bring not religion into this issue. In any 3-10 people arrested for robbery or other criminals, Muslims form over 80%! Where lies the difference?

  • Nationalist 11 years ago

    Lets go to the courts and bring out the evidences, and you would find out that the 80% is rather asante and Ga Christian Criminals.

    That would be ok if the pastors, priests, bishops, etc are not more corrupt than the politicians. Every corner in Accra and other cities has some one who professes to be the savior of Ghana with a Holy book in hand.

    THIS BISHOP THINKS GHANA BELONG TO CHRISTIANS ALONE ,THAT BLIND FAITH REQUIRES THIS CHRISTIANS NOT TO THINK ,GOD BLESS GHANA.
