Here is Fifi-Kwetey saying Gvt can't afford to pay for essential services and we have these lot asking the government for face masks.
Is it a threat or what? That if they don't get face masks they are coming back to contaminate & infest Ghana with SARS?. What flipping impudence?
If they are good Muslims, they should be wearing the hijab or burqa face and body coverings anyway.
My fear is that this Mahama led NDC government will cave in and supply face masks.
As Fifi-Kwetey said "We have to do what is politically necessary"

For those who accuse me of hatred, nothing could be further from the truth. Can a government that can't afford to pay nurses, teachers, can't provide water & electricity..(the list is endless, how much time have you got?)... are those suffering also not citizens of Ghana that deserve an equal measure of recourses?
Other faiths also have special needs, so will the Government asphalt the roads leading to a church for health & safety reasons?
My argument is if you have money to go to Mecca but no money to buy face mask for your own health & safety, they stay put.
If you call this "HATRED" then I am sorry you've missed the point, because I am doing the exact opposite.

My brothers/sisters in Islam, do we know the condition set for one to make hajj pilgrimage? Is time we all go and learn and stop displaying our ignorance and stupidity in this forum. If one can afford to buy US$3,000 air ticket to hajj, he/she sure can afford a $1.00 facial mask.
Folks, this facial mask request, It's the work of the hajj committee, these fools are master fraudster who have made this request with the intention of syphoning the money if approved as they always do and Insha Allah they will fail. Woe betides the government if he listen to these monkeys. Are they not in Ghana when levis are being raised? What is wrong with these MORALLY CONFUSE sycophants? Did they consult the Holy Quran before making this request at all? This is first class rubbish..

Answer this for me. Should the government provide marijuana for the Rastafarian since it is a major ingredient in Rastafarian religious beliefs or appurtenance? This nonsense can only be entertained in an intellectually insubstantial country. Why doesn't Saudi Arabia provide her hosts with those masks or is it because it is trifling? If we are not careful, this government may one day be asked to wash their dicks, now consider that as madness.

Just think and ask yourself why go to Mecca to throw stones at some devil, if for this you need a mask.
If your Allah will not save you from contacting sickness in Mecca, then why the whole expensis, what good have you done throwing stones at devils.

How much is facial mask at all that, the Saudi government can't provide it to the pilgrims? And to you GREEDY BASTARDS ( Hajj Committee ) you ought to be ashamed of yourselves for putting out this request after looting the covers of the committee. You are a disgrace to moslem Ummah. IDIOTS like you are the reason people are pointing fingers at us. Hell fire awaits you if you don't change your attitude. Morons. How can you come out with stupid things like this when you know the state of our economy? Aaaaaah.....

The appeal of the committee to the Government to provide the masks for people going to pilgrim is not reasonable. The Govt has more and better to do for the millions and millions Ghanaians than to provide masks to indoctrinated people who are even more extremist than those who brought their religion in Africa.
These Muslims know that the mecca is currently infected by that dangerous virus but still they want to go there. Is that reasonable? Isn't that what God himself called suicide? You know there is a death there but you want to go and test the death!!!
I am a Muslim but I am saying that the Govt of Ghana should not get involved in this. Let the Muslims give money for the Govt to provide them with the masks. If Saudi arabia can give 5 billions to Egypt to address his econmic problems and Qatar almost the same, why on behalf of the solidarity that they claim should exist among Muslims they can't provide people with the simple masks?
Beside that when they come back from their Pilgrim the Govt shall put them on quarantine and make sure they are not sick and they won't contaminate anybody.

Apart from providing the masks and relevanty educatiion to the Ghanaian Ppilgrims, this matter brings up a very important question:"Is Ghana ready to deal with this disease on its own soil?". There is always a risk that the masks may fail to adequately protect the users/wearers and therefore a risk that an infected person will return home and spread it to the general population.
