US-based Ghanaian self-acclaimed Evangelist, Addai Emmanuel has rained insults on the President of the Republic, Nana Akufo-Addo and Archbishop Duncan Williams over the building of the National Cathedral.
The decision of President Akufo-Addo to build a National Cathedral to the Glory of God has been a topic of discussion in the media with the majority kicking against it.
As the President of the Republic, Nana Akufo-Addo said a few months ago, the National Cathedral will be built to the Glory of God at all cost even though a lot of Ghanaians have expressed disappointments in his decision.
Gospel musician, Ohemaa Mercy in an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM has stated that Ghana needs a house for God and for that matter she supports the president’s decision to build a National Cathedral for God.
It’s really a sad moment in Ghanaian history. A ‘sensible mad woman’ is making more sense about a national issue than the freaking President and that seems to have incurred the ire of the NPP, who are now going after her.
Till now Dzidzor has mostly been attacking the NDC and NDC bigwigs for how they treated her during her time as HIV Ambassador and thus the NPP left her alone, but the moment she decided to talk about the National Cathedral big party officials are calling for her arrest!
In the midst of a rapidly depreciating currency, a graduate unemployment crisis, high cost of living and a healthcare crisis, the President Ghanaians voted into power by Ghanaians to escape the incompetence of the previous administration has decided that pouring all his energy into the construction of a National Cathedral is the right thing for him to do.
The very disappointing Nana Akufo-Addo has neglected the 1,001 issues he was elected to fix and has instead decided to offer a solution to a non-existent problem by building a Cathedral.
The Supreme Court of Ghana has ruled on the case brought against government’s construction of the National Cathedral, tossing the case out of court.
In a unanimous decision handed down by its seven-member panel, the court completely dismissed the religious discrimination rationale of the suit seeking to halt government’s involvement in the construction of the National Cathedral.
Eagle Prophet has revealed that Ghana’s first president, Dr Kwame Nkrumah invited demons into Ghana during his reign that is why Ghanaians are suffering.
According to the self-acclaimed man of God, the only way to solve Ghana’s numerous is to build the National Cathedral proposed by the President, Nana Akuffo-Addo.
The NPP government must have a stake in the yet to be built National Cathedral because they are hell-bent on getting it through despite immense opposition from the people, including many Christians who see many other issues in the country meriting much more attention than a National Cathedral.
The President has reiterated that he is going to ensure that the Cathedral is built and whether Ghanaians like the idea or not, that is his ‘back case’.
Ghana is indeed a messed up country with most of its leaders fueling the mess whilst citizens look on unconcerned ─even if they are concerned, greedy bastard politicians as ‘Papa J’ rightly puts it will always have their way.
And the fuckery continues! Now, the self-acclaimed ‘listening President’, Nana Akufo-Addo has begun demolition Judges bungalows and State properties to pave way for the construction of the National Cathedral ─a Cathedral to honour God.
Let’s play a game. If you ask 100 Ghanaians to list their five topmost priorities in the country, how many of them do you believe, in this current climate, would list construction of a national cathedral amongst their top ten uses of taxpayer money?
If this issue was not raised by government no one would even be thinking about it, and yet here we are, our official budget statement for the year makes provision for the National Cathedral Ghanaians were explicitly told would not involve taxpayer money.
The man of God who couldn’t arrest the Cedi with fasting and prayer, Archbishop Duncan Williams is back again ─not to declare a 72-hour fasting and prayer but to splash it on the faces of Christians against the building of the National Cathedral.
Archbishop Duncan Williams says Christians against the building of the National Cathedral are anti-Christ ─meaning they are enemies of God!
A senior pastor with the Methodist Church in Ghana and the author of an upcoming book on Faith and Common Sense, Rev Solomon Nortey, has given his two cents on the issue of the National Cathedral.
Rev Nortey, in his piece, has called on Ghanaians to actually start acting like Christians and not simply think constructing a monument to God which might end up being situated in filth can bring blessings down on us.
The needless decision to construct a National Cathedral with a huge donation of prime Accra real estate has just gotten more expensive for the people of Ghana even though everyone keeps assuring us that it’s not government that is paying for the cathedral.
According to documents sighted by myjoyonline, the piece of land being cleared by government to host the building has on it a private IT firm who stands to make mega losses if moved at such short notice and are thus calling on government to pay millions of dollars before they surrender their land.

The plan to establish a National Cathedral is moving forward at full speed despite staunch public opposition.
So far, even a lot of ordinary Ghanaians who are Christians are standing against the initiative, and seemingly those who want it are privileged a$$e$ like Joe Mettle or those affiliated with the church who are unlikely to be feeling the hardship causing the ordinary Ghanaian to kick against this excess.
Nobody can tell us the use of a national cathedral other than to give thanks to God for blessings the ordinary Ghanaian can’t feel but Joe Mettle claims it is just as important as anything else.
The gospel singer justifies the construction of a national cathedral in a country where people are left to die in the streets like dogs because of lack of hospital beds by claiming a cathedral is just as important as any other piece of infrastructure.

With the debate over the construction of a National Cathedral now thrown into the dustbin as the President already wholeheartedly supports its construction, others are also now calling for help from government to construct their religious monument.
Nana Kwaku Bonsam, in an interview with Kasapa Fm, said the idol worshippers in the land also need their own land to construct a national shrine.
Last week, Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri, the Founding Editor of GhanaCelebrities.Com noted in an article that the Government of Ghana’s direct or indirect role play in the building of a national cathedral goes against the wall of separation of the State and the Church.
He said: “The wall between the State and the church, defined by the constitution of Ghana is thick but the incumbent NPP government does not seem to give a hoot—and the government is jumping the wall to help the church with our supposed limited State resources.”
Since the government of Ghana is keen on getting married to the church, James Kwabena Bomfeh, a former Youth Organiser of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), aka Kabila has filed a lawsuit at the Supreme Court to restrain the government from ‘building’ a national cathedral.
James who was earlier in court on the same issue wants an interlocutory injunction to restrain the construction of the controversial 5,000-seater Cathedral.
A former Presidential Staffer under John Mahama’s administration and current Member of Parliament for the people of Ningo Prampram, Sam George, has vehemently stated on national television that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s soon to be built National Cathedral is a misplaced priority.
The MP was one of the panelists on Saturdays edition of TV3’s Newday program. Sam George said that he does not see any reason why we are spending tax payers money on an institution that has refused to pay taxes for the development of this country since Adam.
The Christians are out in force to fight for the construction of the National Cathedral which obviously is one of the things our country needs at this moment in time.
And as usual they are going for the fear factor – claiming that constructing the Cathedral is the will of God and anyone who fights it would incur the wrath of omnipotent father.
