Mensa Otabil, a private businessman and pastor who owns Central University College has in the past said there’s nothing like FREE SHS–and that Ghanaians should not stupidly believe education can ever be free.
According to Otabil, politicians have long deceived Ghanaians that they will provide free education, hiding the fact that it’s not really FREE–as the population pays for this via taxation.
The argument makes no deeper sense if analysed along the lines that with or without FREE SHS, Ghanaians will have to pay tax. The introduction of FREE SHS has not led to increase in tax to purposely fund the FREE SHS–therefore it’s FREE for Ghanaians and in fact, it’s.
Several religious leaders across the world dwell on dogmatic views which mostly make them sound less intelligent than they really are…
Constantly throwing out non-working assumptions based on assumed powers of the Holy Spirit and Prayers, some pastors have gone as far as asking their church members not to even go to the hospital when sick. And others have even commanded a falling currency to rise when there is no evidence or reason to say this can ever happen.
Today, Pastor Dr. Mensa Otabil has said prayers cannot save Ghana’s economy nor improve it from its current circumstances—a clear indication that Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams was wrong. At least one of them is wrong as they are riding on parallel lines…
Motivational Speaker Dr. Mensa Otabil says prayers cannot save Ghana’s economy nor improve it from its current circumstances.
“It’s time to stop having All Night prayer meetings for the change of economy,” the General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church told his Congregation on Sunday March 16, 2014, when he preached about: ‘The Power of Vision.’
He says rather than praying for the economy to improve, the Country must have a focused vision with a clear cut plan toward shoring up the economy.
