Bastie says YES tot LGBTQ+ +
Don't blame them, the heat is too much, so ideally the parade should have ended by 10am to 11am.
But organizers didn't plan it that way.
School children were able to withstand the heat. The officer should be discharged from the army.
Why are his colleagues just standing by and just focusing on the parade when their colleague is down. Parade is important but life first. Every minute counts on this occasion. What if it was a heart attack.
Ten percent casualty is allowed ,you wont understand till you enter the training school
You are right
Most of these fat, pot-belly officers are not fit. Some of them were even struggling to even match. That, coupled with lack of food and proper hydration for the day can take you out.
THAT WAS WHY THE AMBULANCES WERE STANDING BY...TWEAA
Are we truly independent as a nation? We're always running
The MULTIPLE collapses of security personnel on the parade grounds is a reflection of the state of health of the average Ghanaian. The average Ghanaian adult or child is moderately to severely undernouriched and easily suscep ...

Please know,even in war there are casualties.
You being a security personnel does not mean you dont have blood running through you.
Thank you.
I love to read comments from people are who are clueless.
School children are allowed to move around, but the military is not. This could be as result of overheating and standing one place in the uniform.
We are not growing as human beings.Elsewhere planners of the event shd have considered the current high temperature.This parade shd not have gone on beyond 2hrs.The Russians and Chinese Armies who have those prolong parade ta ...

They are hungry thus why they fainted
Previously, parades didn't take these many hours, between 11 and 12noon it's over.
The moral is gone and they are hungry under this Akuffo Addo and Bawulair Timothy useless government.
You can't attribute every national mishap to politics,doing that reduces you to a sub-human being(robot ).That would allow politicians to exploit you.
The event lasted for too long. It should not have gone beyond 12 noon
The protocol enlistment has always existed but under Akuffo addo its gargantuan
Someone was today befor the ceremony was asking if they all had their brakefast before the actitvity. Poverty,hunger and thirsty will allways endup with tragic occurrence for which must be made known to all to avoid it happen ...

Akufo Monkey Addo has politicized school children. What a moron
may God have mercy on you for calling His creation, monkey. you are not insulting Akuffo Addo. You are insulting God. Ask your pastor the next time you meet him.
He is a monkey
Akufo Addo doesn't know GOD, I don't condone insult, but our president like most politicians has little understanding of righteousness and what GOD truly represents.
Mary Mavis GYAMFIWA, you are asking God the Almighty to have mercy on someone for insulting Mr Akuffo Addo. That's good.and your call is in the right direction. What will you ask God to the same Mr Akuffo Addo who during th ...

Please how many security personnel fainted to warrant the title word MULTIPLE?
As for you Anton, You fool too much. Nothing good seems to come out of you.
Parade should have lasted 2 hours. From 8am to 10am. In this heat,how on earth would you stand in the sun from 7 am to 2pm ?
Wisdom must speak
Nana foko dodo done suffa am well well, hongiri dey dabaru ghanaba. You got de govt you deserve. All who vote with dem stomach go get empty belle.
Is this the first time someone get fainted during independent day parade? Back in days when we go the Black Star square to watch the parade, some soldiers do faint and get treatment.
The truth of the matter is that if you are medically fit for training into the Ghana army forces. You can stand any parade.
What we have in the Ghana army now is political leaders children and they are not fit for purpose. A ...

Will somebody tell me What is the benefit of this stupid parades anyway?
Due to protocol enlistment, our men in uniform are not tough at all. They are just there for the employment.
We are not independent. How can a beggar be independent?
1 Ape, 1 Chimpanzee, 1 Monkey and 1 Helicopter with the deputy Liar. Music that Adolf Hitler played on his last parade. Happy yourself.
Security personnel have been fainting on parades since 1957. Stop behaving as if it just started today. Hypocrites and liars
It happens all over the world, shows how Ghana’s first responder, the ambulance service is working. God bless the NPP government, otherwise he would be carried into a pickup truck.
Zombie na hard workoo..
Ur brother faint in front of u and u stand attention still. AWWWW. God of heaven ..bless humankind.
Please always have some mashed key key on hand and it will revive tye fainting soul.
They just wear the uniform k3k3. They are indomie eating soldiers. Not hard enough to be real soldiers

Still marching under the Scorching sun to celebrate the independence Made meaningless by the old Up sponsored nlc. Shame NPP
Is it a law that colleagues shouldn’t help when one of them faints? Why do they seem unconcerned about their colleague on the ground?
No, the colleagues shouldn't help as that would cause chaos and break the event.
There are SPECIAL paramedics to do that - simple as that.
The most important thing is that the paramedics MUST be alerted AS EARLY AS POSS ...

We told you to stop recruiting unfit people in the security service.
Why Ghanaians need to celebrate independent as they don't have independent, they are more than slaves in their own land
The air force officer was the first to drop like a rotten pawpaw. He got into the military via a protocol arrangement. Nyame a hu mu

National Ambulance Service are not Security entity, So therefore cannot be Security Personnel. Know the uniforms of your institutions well. Watch the Ceremonial Attire well before you make such publication.

And so? Oloddu. It is allowed, Mostly you can't do anything about it when you develop a sudden drop in blood pressure while on parade , you will blackout & it nobodies fault.
He is probably starving. His pay is not enough to eat properly.
Yes to you ass to LGBTQ and insult to leadership what has the president and the vice president has to do with the event better planning next year officers should be fit and watch their weight
The personal is hungry, no energy to stand under the hot sun.

But if it's a matter of beating unarmed helpless civilians they'll do it with maximum brutality and still be going strong.
We should not be surprised if personels from the security service are collapsing because nowadays recruitment are not based on stamina, interest and passion its now based on who has the money to pay for the appointment. GOD S ...
