    The hypocrite Ewe Bokor is back with another nonsense as if he is politically a neutral Person. Bokor bow your oval head in a hot sand.

    Laid down rules and regulations should not be compromised no matter what. Muslims can leave mission school and go to their Islamic school. How long has this trend been going on and I do not remember any Muslim who has been c ...

    Indeed, it is simply pure madness what's happening in our country.

    Way back in the '90s, I was the sole person who took up this vexatious issue on Okyeame. I am therefore at least 2 decades ahead of this debate. There is ...

    Look Andy-K, whether you attended devotion or did not attend, whether you were flogged for your miscreancy or not; RULES ARE RULES; and the rules and regulations at Mawuli and other similar institutions will remain because it ...

    Many people in America have been impressed with the absence of religious intolerance in Ghana anytime they hear of the killings by Boko Haram and Al Shabaab in Nigeria and Somalia, I proudly remind them of how Christians and ...

    I totally agree with you,Marcus.We cannot force religion on people regardless of their beliefs. We have been blessed with the peaceful coexistence among all religions in Ghana,but that will all change when they become mandate ...

    When Christians take back their schools the problem will be solved.

  • Paa Kwesi 9 years ago

    If a school is designated as christian, they should continue with their morning devotion, otherwise all public schools open the morning with the national anthem or something else that is not religious. You cannot ask religio ...

    Ghana is predominantly christian yet the nation is corrupt to the bone. What do you say to that Paa Kwesi?

    Braimah,you make lots of sense in your post here,and how I wish our compatriots have the same attitude to argue selflessly on behalf of our country.We only have one country in the universe that we can call our own.

  • Dr. SAS, Attorney at Law 9 years ago

    The parochial schools ought to be allowed to keep to their customs and traditions; that is the norm the world over. The fact that the government supports these institutions does not remove the influences or the footprints of ...

    This is where common sense prevails,there is no case of legal or illegal here.Schools that are government funded cannot enforce religious doctrines.It is obscene to think that name of institution alone justifies their religio ...

    Where have you been, Bokor, these past few days? Your fellow serial writers, Okoampa and Adofo have been ably holding the fort in your brief absence. Hope you'll make up for the absence, Mr Serial Writer.

    What has suddenly happened? Is this the first time Muslims are attending christian school? Pl. don't let us breed indiscipline in our schools.

    I don't know how old you are but I don't think asking for your right under the constitution amounts to indiscipline and practicing ur religion also amounts to discipline please lets cease the opportunity to resolve it now.bec ...

    Dr. Bokor, I completely disagreed with you. Laws are laws and must be enforced. The fact that former president Rawlings took over the mission schools sometime ago does not mean that they failed to remain mission schools.What ...

    I think Bokor has been compromised to save the face of the NDC government. According to Bokor "...Muslims hardly condemn Christians for what they are, contrary to what Christians do."
    Does Bokor know that professing to be ...

    Is anyone asking Moslems not to pray when they attend their schools. Why are people trying to prevent Christians from practicing their faith in religious schools?
