"The best part for them is to turn to JESUS; He is our Savior. JESUS IS GOD. NOTHING HAS CHANGED FROM THE BEGINNING."

Sunday reacted:

"We love ourselves in the whole world. Our relationship with our Muslim brothers and sisters is unpredictable. I’m a proud Christian, and most of my friends are Muslim, and I love them. To mention a few: Osman, Muda, Razak, Muniru Alhassan, Suadic (my boss, operations manager), Bassit, Suley, Sumaila, Surag, this one I call him uncle."

Uppity African added:

"In some years to come, Ghanaians will intermarry beyond religious lines but on good morals. God bless our homeland, Ghana."

"Don’t be fooled; no politician has our interest. They only think about themselves. The earlier we know this, the better for us. I come in peace."

Traditionalists seek National Prayer Day inclusion

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a group dubbed the Africa Development Council has complained about the exemption of Ghana’s traditional religions from the maiden National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving.

The council had raised some concerns, urging President John Mahama to reconsider the new holiday's focus on Islam and Christianity and thus recognise the country's traditional beliefs.
