    Sometimes it baffles me to hear that Asantes don't like going to school. This is a quintessential example of a well-educated Asante gentleman.

  • KOFI 9 months ago

    This man a from Kwahu Atibie and a 100% Kwahu . Just because he schooled in Ashanti Region doesn’t mean he’s an Ashanti. Most good schooling Ashanti are full of non Ashantis .

  • Kwami 9 months ago

  • Abu-Nkonya Barrister 9 months ago

    @Yaw Wontum, Asantes are rather giving you brain diseases, do you know why Ayigbe woke up at early as 4am to go and find a blue kiosk to drink Akpetashie? Avuu koklo, you will continue to be a farm labourer to Asantes unti ...

    When ayigbes we're making coups, they didn't do them with chief of defence staff rank or general ranks. Stupid fool, learn some common sense. Some ayigbes snatched your wife or girlfriend?

    Intake 30 is indeed proud of you

  • Ivory Mensah 9 months ago

    So will they jump him to Lt- General ? Or the cds and the service commanders will be on the same rank. And an accountant cds ? Nothing about core military higher education ? Am not sure this man can deliver !

  • Kofi 9 months ago

    Who appoints a 1 star general over 2 or 3 star generals as CDS?; This is a recipe for discontent, rancour and indiscipline in the armed forces

  • Kwabena 9 months ago

    Note that the 2 and 3 star generals can't serve under him. They will all be retired by force.

  • Kwaku 9 months ago

    They are all retiring. This is exactly what happened. I know two Generals. A lt General and a major general. They are both retiring because technically they can’t be his subordinates. I’m sure this was an indirect way to ...

  • Offshore Waters 9 months ago

    It’s obvious Mahama wants a youthful military with a non heavy top hierarchy. The upside is that it would accelerate modernization and innovation. The military should lead in nation building like Israel and Chinese military ...

    The president got it right about his choice of CDS. He is where he is because they didn't want to promote him even though he has an impeccable qualifications coupled with vast experiences.
