Well put, unfortunately TEE has very limited if any education. He can still set a school though. TEE is among those who can not think for themselves and by extension have no reasoning mind of their own.
Look to your West and listen to what the war monger Outtarra has been saying about Ghana on their national media since he was installed.His obvious envy and threats are accompanied by his disputing Ghana's,ownership of our oi ...

SOME GHANAIANS LIKE @TEE, ARE WASTING SPACE N GHANA'S RESOURCES
Tee, if you don't know the benefits of properly equipping our security services then you and your family don't deserve the peace and national security you take for granted.
I GUESS THE MALIANS FELT THE SAME WAY AND REFUSED TO PREPARE TO PROTECT THEIR NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY TILL THE TERRORISTS SHOWED UP AT THEIR DOOR STEP.
Ghana can never be the second largest arms buyer from Russia,do we have money?Read the article again please.
If Ghana were the 2nd largest arms buyer from Russia, every Ghanaian man over would have 2 or 3 AK47s in his bedroom. In fact it would make Afghanistan look peaceful when compared.
Dear Tee, even though you have not heard Ghana buying arms before, I am sure you have at least seen Ghanaian soldiers or policemen holding guns before - these guns were bought.
Let me also explain to you that the "second" th ...

You don't even know English and you want to insult. Go back to P6 before you are able to contribute on this platform
THINK TWICE
Brazilian Embraer troop transport planes
Spanish military helicopters
Every nation protects its borders with arms.

True dat.Hard to believe these liars posing as journalists with stories that don't add up.
This make-belief heresy should be taken with a pinch of salt until the writer provides the internet link to the source of his information. We can then make our own judgment on the matter. Gone are the days when spoilers conco ...
