The Afrikania Mission, a traditional religious organisation says agitations by sections within society to have religious and moral education (RME) restored as a subject in basic school curriculum should be treated with contempt. The removal of the subject from the basic school curriculum following the introduction of the New Educational Reforms was met with opposition and condemnation by Islamic and Christian groupings particularly the Catholic Church. They argued that the removal of the subject from school curriculum amounted to sentencing society to a culture of vice and iniquity. Subsequently, President Kufuor directed the Education Ministry to initiate talks with the parties to resolve the matter. But Head of Research at the Afrikania Mission, Osofo Kofitse Ahadzi says Christianity and Islam have rather failed to change people’s behaviour as exhibited by the increase in social vices in the country. Osofo Ahadzi says his mission is against using state funds to finance the teaching of RME in schools because it constitutes mental enslavement of children to adore foreign cultures. He told Joy News’ Nanabanyin Brown-Addo that so many practices of the religions amount to mental enslavement, citing the case of Muslim pilgrims to this year’s hajj in Mecca as a typical deceit by religion. He argued that if stranded pilgrims in Mecca are indeed in the Holy Land and the pilgrims do believe in their own indoctrination, why would they want to come back home to the devils land. Osofo Ahadzi argues that armed robbery, corruption and prostitution are on the ascendancy even in the face of the multiplicity of churches, saying if their mission is to help heal society of such deviant behaviours, then they have failed.
