The idea of having a National Cathedral is a laudable one but most importantly, we should reconsider it’s location. Have we thought about the traffic situation in the capital???
Let’s look at areas like Madina, Adentan, Oyarifa considering the economic benefits it will serve them.
Must we necessarily have to demolish certain structures in order to construct a National Cathedral? ———Kwami Sefa Kayi #Kokrokoo

Ghana has 10 regions and maybe more.If we want to encourage tourism and pilgrimages then the church should look outside for the poorest area to localise after all Jesus came for the poor.Lets stop this Religious sympathies.im a devout catholic but don't agree to this politics.vatican is a state so why not travel far outside to do something like that
IS THE CATHEDRAL GOING TO HOLD SERVICE ON DAILY BASIS TO TALK ABOUT TRAFFIC? WITH OR WITHOUT THE CATHEDRAL, HAS THE TRAFFIC SITUATION IMPROVED EVEN WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF AYALOLO BUS SERVICE WHICH HAS NOW BECOME NOTHING BUT A GLORIED TRO-TRO JUST TO CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE. THE SITE IS VERY APPROPRIATE AND I TAKE OFF MY HAT FOR THOSE WHO SPENT SLEEP NIGHTS TO SELECT THE SITE BECAUSE IT IS IN THE SAME AREA WITH CERTAIN EDIFICE LIKE THE SPORTS STADIUM, BLACK STAR SQUARE, STATE HOUSE, RIDGE HOSPITAL, CONFERENCE CENTRE, PARLIAMENT, NATIONAL THEATER, KIMPINSKI HOTEL, CHILDRENS' PARK, NOVOTEL, MOVINPIC. IT IS ALSO NOT FAR FROM POLICE HEADQUARTERS, POLICE HOSPITAL, CLOSE TO THE SEA, THE CASTLE - FORMER SEAT OF GOVERNMENT ETC.ETC. AND IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT OF THE CAPITAL. NOWHERE ELSE COULD HAVE BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE THAN THE CHOSEN PLACE SO THE CRITICS SHOULD ***barred word***. IF THE ONLY BUT ABOUT THE SITE IS THE OVER-FLOCKED TRAFFIC EXCUSE, LET US THINK HOLISTICALLY ABOUT TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN THE CITY. THE ARGUMENT OF TRAFFIC IS NOT IN THE LEAST SUSTAINABLE.
Massa; who does not know God exist ; God the creator is not only a christian God but a God for anybody created by him and put on the universe on this planet call earth ; God does not edifices or God does not need to be worshipped ; it is myth to say you must worship God in a particular place becauase God the creator is every where; we praise him ; we do not worship him because it is a thing to praise GOd ; God does not need any human soul to worship him ; you sing and acknowledge what he has done by doing good to his creation ; building cathederals will not help Ghana to develop besides worshipping or praying to God will not help Ghana develop it is only hard work and obeying the rules of the land that will help Ghana; we have worshipped and prayed for years but where has it got us as a nation ; we steel and flout the laws and delude ourselves by praying and worship in these mega churches with pastors robbing us blind and we are told God is Good and that we should ***barred word*** ; same is this cathderal which is going to be used by Nana Addo to rob Ghanaians dry and like Mensah-Otabil Nana Addo will tell Ghanaian ; 'NYAME OYE' !!!!!!!CRIMINAL THIFFS !!!!
Good Kwami!!!!; but the question is why does our leaders sometime mislead and think very poorly of how to advance the priorities of development of our dear nation ; is it the massive merscury in the water we drink today or sheer mischief !!!!!of corruption and stilling ; the problem with our leaders including Nana Addo is that they always do things the opposite way with no clear logical thought or proper planning ; this benevolent Presindent Nana Addo thinks he has being blessed so much by God that he travels abroad sees a project and decides that Ghana needs such an elephant edifice ; why do you need a 5000 seater cathederal when the sanitation problem at Nima a stone throw from the flagstaff house is a complete DISGRACE ; why do you need a cathederal when we not have proper sewegae system system to re-cycle our sheet ; most houses in europe or the US have a connected seweage syatem which re-cycles their sweage but in Ghana most people have these shitholes in houses which is not technically healthy ; Dr Busia attempted to do a reconnection of the sewegae system so why has Nana not thought about something that will help Ghanaians besides how many people will visit this cathederals and why is the government lying about this project in terms of funding because this idea of private funding is a load of BULL SHEET by Nana Addo ; it is complete lie ; these benevolent business men do not do things for free ; they will seek contracts and inflate the contract prices to re-coup their donations besides why is Nana Adddo so desperate to build a cathederal ; does Nana Addo think that will give him access to sit on the right hand side of God when people are suffering economically with no jobs ;people drinking from rivers with animals and school children are sitting under trees ; this project for the elite should stoooped ;for this another avenue to create loot and share by Nana Addo and this government besides our maintenance means we cannot maitain such edice ; go to Yamassukrom in Invery Coast and see;WE DO NOT NEED A CAHEDERAL NOW and why do you spend so much money demolishing an existing good structure because Nana Addo is a christian and wants a cathederal ; NANA ADDO THINK !!!!
Please consider a situation where a funeral service for a former President are we expecting all Mps to drive from state house to wherever it will be situated.Why not close to state house. You have AICC ,National theatre ,Kofi Annan ICT centre and then just a few minutes drive to Jubilee house.Why do we have to drive all the way to Marina or aaAdenta for a state function at the cathedral. I think it will also beautify our capital which lack such historic buildings.
Kwame Sefa Kayi,America's National Cathedral is not hiding, we can not hide the house of the Lord for the Lord to hide his face from us. Ghanaians in nature are hypocrites,they pretend to be Christians in time of trouble and reject the Lord when we need to give him glory. The Lord is watching you all, as for Kabila I don't blame him because he is not of the Lord the way akpeteshie has taking over him so he can dispute and make all the fan he can with the Lord like an akpeteshie drunkard for his end will be miserable but those who think they are standing firm on the ground must be careful for the Lord of Abraham ,Isaac and Joseph (Isreal) is a living God. You speak against the house of the Lord ,you speak against the Lord and the Bible has warned us against speaking against the Holy Ghost. I fear for those who are against this Cathedral. Osofo Komfo Damoah made fan of God and he was turned into a creature resembling an anim*al before he died, he was a member of the P/NDC and a former Catholic priest. God is alive and watching you all. If you want to be hot be hot,if cold be cold for God hates hypocrites. If you call yourself a Christian and against the building of the House of the Lord then you belong to your master Satan, stop going to church because it is waste of time! because of traffic we must stop building the house of the Lord and rather send it to lungulungu! Eeiii! Osei Kwame Despite,appreciate what the Lord has done for YOU! Your media house is being used to chastise the building of the house of the Lord! NYAME TEASE !
Komi Ebe true. We do not have to demolish buildings which were built not too long ago to make way for a National Cathedral. Why are we just destroyers but not builders? As you have said, they you look for other open spaces. The traffic situation you mentioned is true. Lets decentralise our national deifices.
