THE PROLIFERATION OF CHURCHES IN THE COMMUNITY

Recently, a friend and former editor of the erstwhile London-based WEST AFRICA magazine (where I once worked), Kwasi Gyan-Apenteng, wrote on Facebook: “The level of sin at Dansoman in Accra must be below the national average; I have never seen such a large collection of churches in any one community anywhere else.”

What Kwasi probably does not know is that some years ago, Vicky Street in Bamenda, headquarters of Cameroon`s North West Region - which is not a long street by any stretch of the imagination – was found to have up to seven different churches within its territory.

So, Dansoman in Accra may not be a case in solation.
