The government of Ghana has ann0unced plans for the construction of a new, interdenominational national cathedral.
The government’s announcement has sparked concern among a section of the public over why the state needs to be involved in such an explicitly religious venture despite Ghana being an officially secular state.
We guess this is the state of religion in Ghana now.
Christianity is already a massive tool for exploitation by obvious conmen who prey on the desperation of others, but now you do not even need to be in the church to have your money wrested from you.
Two ‘fake’ prophets have been arrested by police in Accra after they ran a magnificent scam which fetched them close to Ghc 300,000 in cash from their victims plus many other items in property.
The two, identified as Joseph Braimah, 22, and Derick Kweku Sakyi Baisie, 31 (alias Kweku Money) – run an elaborate ruse which targeted the fears of well to do traders and exploited it to make cash.
The issue of gay rights is one that inflames passions among Ghanaians to quite an insane level. Both religiously and culturally, Ghanaians have been conditioned to hate the homos*xual with every fibre of their being.
Some of that hate can be stripped away with education and enlightenment, but even for a lot of Ghanaians those two can never change their minds from the attitudes ingrained in them since childhood.
A new soap on the market claims that it can do something historically left only for Jesus Christ of Nazareth – wash away your sins!.
The ‘Jesus Soap’, photos of which has been circulating online, claims that it can wash away your sins if used after a day of leading a dirty lifestyle.
The head of the world’s 1.2bn Catholics, Pope Francis, has hit out at members of the Church who profess Catholic values but live lives of ‘sin’.
In his eyes, for such people, it would be better to outright declare they are atheists rather than continue pretending within the church.
Founder of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Dr Mensa Otabil, has described fufu as a menace killing us Africans.
According to the preacher, fufu has no discernible pros but numerous cons such as being tough to prepare and unhygienic to boot.
Dr Charles Wereko Brobbey, popularly known as Tarzan, has revealed that he is not particularly religious in the strictest sense of the word, saying the structures of organised religions are too rigid.
Tarzan was interviewed on Starr Chat Wednesday by Bola Ray and passed his comments on the show.
NASA announced Wednesday that they had just found a star with about seven planets within it’s habitable zone – the area within a solar system where scientists believe the conditions necessary for life as we know it to form exists.
With such discoveries, and considering the vastness of the universe – which is big on a scale the human mind just cannot comprehend – it’s inevitable that life could exist somewhere else.
Founder and head pastor of the International Gods Way Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim, has thrown his support behind President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, saying that Ghana’s new leader has the passion to help the country.
According to the controversial preacher, listening to Nana Addo delivering his state of the nation address showed him he has the best interests of the nation at heart and intends to do his best to help all Ghanaians.
A Ghanaian by the name of Nii Aryee has started a petition aimed at getting Counsellor George Lutterodt barred from speaking on the airwaves.
The petition, started on Change.org Sunday – is aimed to be delivered to the National Media Commission to get the man it calls a ‘so-called’ counsellor barred from spouting his bizarre relationship views on the airwaves.
It seems to be taking some people longer to realise the ignorance and chameleon character of Mensa Otabil, who is sadly praised as one of the most intelligent preachers in Ghana.
Even with his intelligence, he claims any Scientific theory that contradicts the Bible is a lie and ought not to be accepted. Meaning, the Big Bang, Evolution, and even the spherical shape of the earth, as science has championed which contradict the Bible are all false.
Over the weekend, Otabil’s chameleon nature was noticed by some Ghanaians on social media–and he became a subject of an interesting conversation, led by Kofi Adoli and others.
Though Adoli, a Ghanaian social media commentator is mostly mischievous, this time, he was just pointing out the obvious–that, Mensa Otabil is no different to the many preachers in Ghana, perhaps the only difference is that he’s a little sophisticated in his methods.
Otabil under the NDC government a few months ago challenged Ghanaians not to become sleeping dogs by just accepted tarred roads and electricity–obviously implying that Ghanaians ought to complain and challenge the government to do more.
Florence Obinim, husband of the ‘angel’ of God Bishop Daniel Obinim, has opened up on her marriage, how it all began and why she believes her husband is really an angel as he claims.
Florence, a famed gospel singer in her own right, granted an interview on Hello Fm in Kumasi.
There is a problem with hypocrisy deeply embedded within the fabric of most religions, which starts from the process of ‘cherry-picking’ – by which the religious go through their holy books and adhere to some laws and ignore others.
A great example is the Christian attitude to divorce and homo-s*xuality. Jesus ranted and raved about divorce and never mentioned the gays – but Christians, who claim we now live under the ‘grace’ of Jesus, hate gays with a passion yet get divorced themselves all the time with no compunction.
If you’re undecided about how lucrative the church business is, don’t be anymore – because we have hard proof here to show you.
Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, founder and head pastor of the Kingsway International Christian Centre, collected £5.8m from his congregation in 2015 alone.
