    A nice one there! Most of the brainwashed Christians will deem it paganism because to them everything African is unchristian.

    Fortable with all these comforters or kilt.i will find it too much, not because I am ashame of it. Always trying to reshape the cloth when it falls apart. I like to be shape as simple in dressing.

  • NKRUMAH, U S A 7 years ago

    I'M GLAD GHANA AND THE REST OF AFRICA ARE FINALLY WAKING UP FROM IGNORANCE. FOR CENTURIES, WE'VE ALLOWED EUROPEANS, ARABS, AND ANYBODY WHO COMES TO OUR LAND TO BRAINWASH, ENSLAVE, AND ABUSE US WITH RELIGION. WE NEED NOT FOLLO ...

    But it is not Ghanaian African wear. There could have been a better description of it to embrace our diversity.

  • dunaa 7 years ago

    There is not only nothing wrong with dressing in African garb, but whilst in Africa, it is more sensible and appropriate! With the heat and humidity which is Africa, being dressed in European attire is downright nonsensical.

  • Nii 7 years ago

    We don't even have an identity. We have rundown everything Ghanaian so much that there is no statement made by the so-called educated without reference to America or an European country. We dress,eat,talk mimicking Europeans. ...

    Why stop there, Nii?
    African are the only people on the face of this God's green earth without our own religion.
    Every morality play -religion for you,folks- is foreign. Christianity, Islam,etc were all imposed from without ...

    A great step in a right direction. Thanks Pastor, for allowing the spirit of God to reveal this message through you.

  • Asuwalawe 7 years ago

    Is it not pathetic that we have to permit ourselves the right to wear our own traditionsional clothing in our own country?This is funny.

  • Afrika Bravo 7 years ago

    I think is not bad.but it takes time to dress like this.and again in Ghana is not easy to afford such dresses.

  • KOKU AMAGAFIO 7 years ago

    You are brainless and stupid. Do you mean it is impossible to dress Ghanaian in a cheaper way ? The photos illustrating the event are nor representataive of all the Ghanaian attires worn by the memebers of the congregation; I ...

    What a stupid comment! The reference to Danta is nonsensical and shows you are a semi-literate,Mr sam !! If you really read the bible you will get to know how Ethiopians (representing Africans) for instance are lauded on diff ...

    It's long overdue

  • Uncle Kasa 7 years ago

    Another distractive tactic by Satan to exchange the word of God for Africanism.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Will the enemy and his human agencies embrace the traditional religion of the occultic ancestral worship and its idolatrous wor ...

    Uncle Kasa you and your ilk are the bane of Africa.
    You cite all these platitudunal passages from the Bible as if the Bible is infallible.
    Ever read passages condoning slavery with it's resultant post trauma effect on the v ...

    Stephen Sackey, your ad hominem comments, however it may seem to you, reveal only man's ideology which is as temporary as man himself. What happened to the great ideologues of the world like Mao Tse Tsung, Hergle. Hitler. St ...

    Christianity did not emanate from Africa.

    Folks, remember Ephraim Amu of blessed memory? The colonial masters opposed him because he dressed African.

  • Spiky 7 years ago

    Yes, the great musicologist should be honoured for being a proponent of African culture; and so is Dr. Kwame Nkrumah who may have been inspired by Dr. Ephraim Amu, by his concept of "African Personality". Has the second phase ...
