    Herald, an NDC newspaper has started their nkwaseasem again this time. Stay off the Armed Forces ok

  • Kwame 1 year ago

    @Capt Adabuga,I can only support you if this is not true; a rule, a system or a process once laid down as the way an institution must go has to be respected and adhered to the letter ; clearly the Herald whether NDC or not ha ...

    Who told you so! Don't talk what you don't know! More than 90% of the military personal have forged their ages! You are an idiot!

  • Gbeh Agbo 1 year ago

    Do you know this for a fact or are you just making up a story and calling the guy an idiot. You the damn idiot

  • Sak 1 year ago

    Maths, you're right there. Age reduction is sadly a Ghanaian thing. Civil servants, security personnel, academics all do that stuff to stay longer in service.

  • Sister Soulja 1 year ago

    There are different set of laws governing these institutions and you shouldn't be comparing apples and oranges. The lecturers are two extensions of five years each after retirement, and that's in their statute books.

  • Dungeon Master 1 year ago

    I hate to talk about this on tribal level, but I must. The three names are most likely Ashantis and likely NPP. This isn't difficult to assume if we are to extrapolate from the argument that the Ghana-loving galamsey proteste ...

    @They should retire at 65: for your information, lecturers don't retire at 70 years. Don't spew garbage and untruths.
