Everybody is complaining bitterly but very few dare speak the truth . We shall never move forward until the undeclared war against the Akans, discrimination of the majority and anti Akan propaganda hate agenda is resolved. One must fight fire with fire , war with war not kisses or playing ignorant to the reality . the northerners , ewes , Muslims and other traitors of the Akan interest are systematically destroying the future of the Akans . There is no democracy or govt of the people and by the people but the slow establishment of the caliphate of pepeni murderers using a system of corrupt govt that makes irrelevant all institutions of state in the form of a Saudi style monarchy of mahama and his brothers . Despite our huge potential and the fact that any true patriotic nationalist govt can definitely turn the economy around in less than 6 months , we are bogged down in this situation of undeclared war of the ayigbe and pepeni mafia who have hijacked all institutes of state . only a bloody revolution will set us free . everything we have predicted over the past few years has come to pass and there is more evil to come until we stand up accept that we are at war and must fight back. Even Obama now realizes this caliphate is a serious threat to mankind's peace and unity . All religions are from God but over time the devil ensures the good is interpreted by the wicked and used to cause harm , the righteous know religion is meant to ensure unity and goodwill amongst men not pain and suffering or discrimination. On one hand we have the mafia ndc killing our people's future and around the corner nana chooses as his closest allies northerners who will continue the agenda of hate , wait for the clarion call for freedom and spare none of these criminals in the political oligarchy of corruption and evil . JJ and his ayigbe criminals started this process and God will continue to punish us with hardships and pestilences if we do not stand up

Your grasp of the English language is very limited, hence your inability to read and comprehend the gist of the article. The dead man's father should direct is complaints to the appropriate channel, in this case the military. The military has the responsibility of compensating the family of soldiers who die in the line through insurance policies. So, I see no reason for you calling for the resignation of the president in this matter. Will the president's resignation bring back the man's son?

What is it? Do you have to do good for recognition? The elders must do their best to revive the sinking patriotism in Ghana. Stop discouraging those who want to do good and die for Ghana! Many people have sacrificed for Ghana without recognition but work and sacrifice must continue. We sing our national anthem everyday but where is the monument in memory Philip Gbeho the composer? Everyone deserves to his best for Ghana without expecting a direct reward for his/her sacrifice.

Kojo, you have a point but it looks as if the only time we are proud to be Ghanaians is only when the black stars are playing at the world cup.

The tendency of patriotism and nationalism serving this nation was completely killed out after the senseless revolutionary days where real people's heroes became victims with some murdered or chased out into long suffering exile and replaced with greediness, corruption, tribalism and nepotism by Rawlings and his criminally poor socialist cronies who are shockingly the petty bourgeois in Ghana today.

Under this corrupt Admistration Ghana is really not worth dying for.Under a Government whose only aim is how their members will get rich at the expense of the rest of its citizens.
Most of us are very proud Ghanaians,but this Government have reduced us to nontities.Just look at the way corruption took its toll on the preformances of the Black Stars at the World Cup.
Ghana really don`t deserv such a Government.

What do you mean by "the West African country" in all your stories? Only foreign journalists use that term to help those who may not know where Ghana is. Don't you know where Ghana is?

Stop it!

There is no opportunity in that country. Ghanaians are just evil. Look at what the military is doing to the people. Does Ghana have no shame.

Journalism, or whatever passes for it in Ghana has gone to the dogs. We heard only one side of the story from John Takor Mensah, father of the late navy man, ObedSpeaking.Did StarrFMonline.com ever make an attempt to contact the navy for their side of the story? For all we know, the father could be reporting an untruthful story to tarnish the navy's reputation.

The father of the dead navy man has a potential wrongful death suit brewing if he can proof that the navy was negligent by failing to provide his son with a life jacket during the operation. But we all know that Ghana, unlike the US,is not a litigious society where the legal system is called upon to settle disputes and seek redress.
