  1. GHANAIANS HAVE DECIDED THAT THEY DO NOT WANT LGBTQ IN GHANA. THEIR DECISION IS FINAL. NEITHER THE COURT NOR INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE SHOULD CHANGE THE DECISION OF THE GHANAIAN PEOPLE. THE GHANAIAN PEOPLE HAVE CHOSEN GOD OVER THAT WESTERN FILTH.
    MR PRESIDENT, SIGN THAT BILL OR STEP DOWN AND MOVE THE AMERICA: THE LAND OF FILTH.

  2. President Nana Akufo-Addo needs to sign this bill off in respect to the Ghanaian parliament and the wishes of the Ghanian people and get away from this idea so obviously in his head that a minority in Ghana or Africa is more important than the majority and a bigger priority if they are supported by former colonial powers and their friends. When former colonial powers and their friends were against homosexuality were bills concerning them having to go to the supreme court? Why is it they have to now, just because they have decided they now want to encourage and promote it, and just because they do why does it mean we must too when we are not their colony anymore. If he believes the best way to lead Ghana is to curl up cowardly in a corner every time a former colonial power or their friend makes a threat and then wonder round implementing and inflicting on Ghanaians everything they demand that they have no right to demand as a matter of sovereignty, he needs to resign and just accept he does not have the courage or know how to lead Ghana to a greater future of development and away from poverty, because an African leader needs courage and to inspire his people to act with courage. The next elections in Ghana cannot come soon enough for Ghana and for Africa. Peace and love

  3. We assumed that Ghana’s parliament was sovereign. It decided for the people who have spoken. Now threats are made against the people. This is the price of lack of African unity. Stand together or perish.

  4. Conduct awareness campaigns in Africa and Arabia, decriminalize the article on homosexuality, remove this provision from the Penal Code and introduce a provision to punish homophobes in Africa and Arabia,

  5. Arab, Sahelian, North African, Berber African gays can come to Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Bułgaria, Croatia will benefit from protection, from a refuge in the Intermarium countries, we invite them to these country, homosexuality is legal, there is protection against evil and hatred

  6. He should makes laws accordance to African culture and not allow Westerners to impose just like countries such as Uganda and Saudi Arabia does not. Is there a date for when the court will decide?

  7. He has been bribed. He is afraid of the West. Akuffo Addo is compromised. There are no good hospitals in Ghana, and his medical exams are conducted in Britain and France. So if you are in his shoes, what will you do. He has destroyed Ghana, and I promise you Akuffo Addo will be in exile to enjoy his stolen resources. You watch! He will follow the example of Macky Sall, ex-president of Senegal

  8. This is all any foreigner has to do, to consolidate an inept, unpopular African leader(s) seat in power.
    Akufo Addo has been an unmitigated disaster for Ghana, and this is the most popular thing he's ever done/not-done,,, well, if that is all it takes to forgive country-wrecking corruption, then African liberation is clearly a very sure bet

  9. The president of Ghana seem to be more progressive than his own parliament. Some people tend to claim religion and morality as justification for hatred or homophobia. But if you read the Bible, there is always a choice factor. No one is coerced to follow Jesus's teachings anywhere in the Scriptures. Let your people, minorities in your midst, make their own choices. To the LGBT community in Ghana such a drastic, non-democratic position will represent silencing, killings and oppression of the minority in your midst. You may think that African countries considering their history of colonialism and oppression will show compassion and tolerance to these people. No! They claim Christianity as justification for suppression of gays which is also a foreign religion itself in Africa. Homosexuals have always been part of Africa long before colonialism or Christianity came with missionaries. Yes, it was never celebrated nor endorsed but was part and parcel of social life in all communities in Africa. These people were not mocked, killed or riduculed for who they are.

  10. The vast majority of Africans are pro heterosexual, always has and always will be.
