Way back,I was striped and beaten mercilessly for wearing a camouflage pants(trousers)without knowing the "consiquences".Can the Army address these issues to "innocent" victims of such incidence?I hope the Army educate fellow citizens why not to wear it without any beatings.
The thing is,in the western world,its a matter of fashion.For those who use this attire for wrong purposes,it's not acceptable and deserve descipline."God have mercy upon Mercy Ama Ghana Oppong".

Why are we so backward that we can't reason between some armed robbers in military uniform intend to do wrong and an innocent civilian in fake fashion? during the daylight in open space.

Is it a law not to wear that uniform??
besides camouflage uniforms are only useful in the forest since it helps you disguise yourself. What is the big deal in some wearing that and going about life peacefully? It is "shillings thinking" to even imagine someone being arrested or beaten over that.

Ghana is Ghana and the US is the US, when I'm in the US I abide by the laws of the US, when in Ghana I obey Ghanaian laws, the problem with some people is that they think Ghana should be a carbon copy of foreign governments, even though conditions in Ghana differ from that of foreign countries.

Many people who are quick to denounce Africa as backward, as they brag about the great accomplishments of their so called advanced masters, conveniently ignore the fact that many so-called advanced countries, had hundreds of years of free labor and free natural resources stolen from other nations including Africa.

Africans in Ghana have much more freedom than they could ever have in the US, Europe, or Asia, Oprah Winfrey was insulted in Bloomingdales store in New York City, while attempting to purchase more than $300,000.00 worth of jewelry, other Africans have been arrested in the same upscale east midtow
n Manhattan stores after legally purchasing items that racists considered too expensive
for blacks to afford, then there's stop and frisk, where every African person is a suspect who can be stopped and searched by police for walking while black, it's called: stop and frisk.

I have stated all of the above in an attempt to debunk the nonsense that's regularly being spewed on Ghanaweb, by lame brained opportunists, about how wonderful life is in the so-called advanced countries where they reside, compared to backward Ghana/Africa.

Wearing military uniforms is illegal in Ghana and people are beaten if caught wearing them, I disagree with the punishment, but not the law. In the US, Amadu Diallo was shot at 44 times and hit 19 times and killed by New York Police, while attempting to legally enter his residence, police said they thought he had a gun, no one was charged. Advanced injustice for Africans in advanced countries.

I agree with everything that Vice Admiral Quarshie said, Ghana is beautiful and I'm enjoying every minute of it, I appreciate being in Ghana/Africa because life here is much much much less stressful, and Ghana provides much more security for Africans compared with the advanced injustice Africans experience in so-called advanced countries.

The truth must be told, anokware John Mahama cannot do the job.

This guy came to the job offering no real vision for the nation, instead he only served up absolute nonsense - Ede be keke - which for some, loosely translates into just existing at the wheels, not knowing which direction to go. To add insult to injury, he is telling us that, like a car, he is only in the first gear in a four-year term, so we can expect to see a fourth gear only in the fourth year. To hear that allegory from a guy and a president who had been a vice-president for the previous four years, and claims that because of the ill-health of Atta Mess, he John Mahama was really the one in charge behind the scenes, then we have reasons to conclude nothing good or extraordinary can be expected that is different from what we have seen from the last four years. The value is going to be the same, and corruption is going to consume all of us under Mahama. Our people tell us, 'Edwa beso'a efiri anopa', to wit, one can gauge the prospects of a good market day from the signs the morning activities project. Right now the country is sinking fast from all reliable indicators. In the last four years, the cedi has depreciated a whole 100 percent under Mahama and Atta Mess. What other assurances are we waiting for? To be hit on the head with bricks?

Look, John Mahama is not cut for prime time, he does not know how, and all his protestations are excuses to cover incompetence and corruption in high places, of which him and his party are direct beneficiaries. What the fuck is Ede be keke? Nonsense!

How can these soldiers be friendly with civilians if the soldiers always use their position to take properties-LAND by force from the civilians.
We civilians pay for their upkeep and then they come back to take by force from us because of their high position properties that the civilians have toiled all their lives to acquire.We can never ever trust them soldiers.

THIS SHOULD NOT BE NEWS. WHY IN TRHE FIRST PLACE SHOULD THEY MINGLE WITH CIVILIANS??

THESE LOW LIVES JOIN THE ARMED FORCES AND WEAR TRHEIR UNIFORMS IN TOWN, USING THEM AS A LEVERAGE TO EXTORT, BULLY AND ON OCCASIONS BEAT UO CIVILIANS.

WHAT WE HAVE TO REQUIRE FROM THESE LOW LIVES IS TO -

STOP THEM FROM MINGLING WITH CIVILIANS WHEN WEARING THEIR UNIFORMS IN OTHER WORDS, THEY DO NOT WEAR THEIR UNIFORMS IN TOWN.

We civilians, do not need the military to be friendly with us. We only need them to do their job of protecting the nation with loyalty. They should stop being "political police" like Jerry Rawlings. Stop the stupid coups. Oh, and they can try Jerry Rawlings for treason and mutiny. That case is still ending.

Good one there at least I have seen a sensible person who can reason and think, first and foremost, what is education at all? In a country where I come from, they defined education as anyone who can read and write English language that is how they defined education in Ghana. A country where a lot of people look down upon those who can't speak and write English language do you think such country can develop no wonder Ghana is a country with good resources but the citizens are mentally weak unable to think and reason as well, they are still slaves to the so-called Europeans. They are still colonized mentally and physically but the reason is that they don't know that they are still under colonization. So in s nutshell that is how illiteracy is defined in Ghana. Then one may ask that how about the countries who are using their own language to study are they illiterates? a country like France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Finland, Norway, China etc can we classify their education system as substandard because they are not using English language to teach in their institutions? Africans will always embraced everything from west and east without thinking deep and its side effect in the future and we hate our own things so tell me are we humans? We always lionize the oppressors and disowned ours and we called ourselves educational elites now listen to a proverb from Europeans to Africans “you can take a monkey from bush but you can't take bush from monkey" how are we going to interpret it? it's simple to Europeans, Africa is bush let's see how they describe Africa they use the word Sub-Saharan and the question is do we have sub-Europeans or sub-Asians or sub-Americans, etc look how they have cited Africa in a World map, Africa as a continent is always at the bottom of the World map, the question is why they didn't cite Europe, Asia, America and Australia at the bottom but only Africa think about it brothers and sisters, the proverb means an African a monkey can come to western or eastern country to study or do anything but because he/she is from Africa you can't take Africa mentality from him or her then the stereotype goes, they are less humans, they don't have food to eat, always fighting among themselves etc so why Africans shouldn't cling to their own and abandoned their stupid act but yet still Africans are upholding their language and their barbaric culture, 500 years we are still slaves so when are we going to emancipate ourselves as a people created by YHWH.
The time has come for Africans to come together as one people and put their difference away and unit as people it has been a long time in slavery and colonization. The time has come for Ghanaians to put away their difference and unit to develop their nation it has been a long time in slavery and colonization.
God of our fathers have mercy on us especially banana republic of Ghana. Ghana, Ghana a country with good resources I had wanted to gather my people under one canopy as hen gathered it chicks but my people have abandoned their wisdom through thinking and now following the way of westerners through their devilcracy which is called democracy so now my people cannot be able to manage their own affairs, my people do not appreciate things manufactured in their country, my people preach devilcracy and practice vices, my people preach patriotism but they are not patriotic, my people have lost their sense of judging and now we are in a doom state they can't differentiate good things from bad ones and now engulf with tribalism which has become a canker in the country through bogus so-called educational elites and stomachticians who called themselves as politicians to separate the people in other not to come together to fight against their evil planning. A voice calling from within shouting my people, my people come together to build your nation we were created in the same image not let this stomachticians separate you they are doing it for their own selfish gain so wise up, awake from your slumber, the day is far spent and the night is near so let's ignore all these tribalism stuffs and come together as one people because together we can build a better nation.
The only way Africans can develop is to use their own language to study and do everything and stop patronizing anything from east or west, a small country like Ghana we can’t develop it why? Because we have pseudo intellectuals who always claims that they are the best but in reality they are at the bottom of the pit, our education system is not good, our education system does not allow us to think inside and out outside the box so for Ghana to develop it needs critical thinkers and nature incliners who can put things together other than that it will take millions of years we will still be where we are.
