The reaction of the chief imam and his spokesman also confirms that Islam and Muslims have no loyalty to the interests of the majority or the people of Ghana so we need to do everything to separate ourselves or ban Islam. Why is it that common sense does not factor in the equation and they rejoice at the reception of these terrorists . Is it because they now have the direct links to start undermining even more the society?
The silence of Nana on the matter of these gitmo ex cons is a confirmation that both he and Mahama have capitulated in the face of a greater force and i suspect the super power USA. Like it or not America has waded into our conflict and you will now see a structural transition of power to the NPP . Notice all of a sudden the dumsor is no issue , corrupt ministers resigning over trivialities without a fight ,etc. NDC has denied us our cutlass revolution and opted 9 months before the election a peaceful transition of power, my advice to you folks is to forget about politics and concentrate on rebuilding our country , heal the wounds and create unity as there is nothing we can do in the face of this meddling superpower. ITS OVER. As usual most of you forumers here will attack me since shooting the messenger or PHD pull him down quick is our greatest sport but a few months from now you will see i am right. Dont waste your energies on politics rather focus on some kind of business that will benefit you as a favorable climate without corruption is about to start

THESE DAYS DRONES CAN BE PURCHASED FROM A HOST OF NATIONS AT A VERY REASONABLE COST.WE DON'T HAVE TOGO FOR THE MOST EXPENSIVE DRONE ON THE MARKET,ALL WE NEED ARE EFFECTIVE AND RUGGED CRAFTS WITH CAMERA AND SOLID ENOUGH TO BE ARMED IF NECESSARY.THESE CAN BE USED TO PATROL OUR HIGHWAYS AND TRACK ARMED ROBBERS,GUN RUNNERS AND FOREIGN OPERATIVES.IF WE ARE SMART ENOUGH WE COULD BE PRODUCING OUR OWN DRONES IN LESS THAN FIVE YEARS AFTER WE BUY THE FIRST DRONE.THE APPLICATIONS FOR DRONES ARE ALMOST LIMITLESS BUT THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE ACTUAL BOOTS(POLICE,CUSTOMS,NAVY,ARMY)ON THE GROUND SO TO SPEAK.AND I WISH THE GOVERNMENT WOULDN'T ANNOUNCE OUR EVERY SECURITY CAPABILITIES TO THE WORLD.

Drones? Tweaaaaaa! we must not be deceived by drones watching our borders. Drones are thoothless watchmen, they can see but they cant do anything more than seeing? Are they going to shoot the innocent people who cross the border every day to their farms and business? How can they know who is who?
My advise is let the Border Guaeds go back to our borders before and after the election.
Drones has many limitations especially in Africa.

They should be bold enough to tell all Ghanaians that their NDC foot soldiers employed to monitor our borders, are not doing the job.
Ghana can't manage even a Presidential Convoy, let alone a drone.
The whole idea is to bring a scrapped drone from Israel, and tell us it cost the same as six new drones from the manufacturer

First, learn to de-silt all the open drains in Ghana. Next, collect all the abandoned 'pure water' sachets and dispose of them properly. After that, build public places of convenience (aka toilets), keep them clean, sweet smelling, etc. Finally, learn a culture of maintenance, so all the hard work does not go down the (uncovered) drains.

Only then might Ghana possibly start talking about drones

If God does not protect the nation, what can DRONE DO, we are suffering because we are trying to do what America is doing in the name of 20th century sake.
Has it help American on its fight against their so call terrorist that they created? Big No, they are only killing innocent people (children and women) in the name of fighting terrorism.
Ghana is heading to wrong direction by neglecting God by doing lip service but their hearts far away from Him.
Our government in the name of human rights are propagating anti God laws in the country, removing religious subjects from the school curriculum, defending un dependable in a broad day light in the eyes of the public without conscious to the detriment of the poor and ignorant people, those who tell the truth are TAGGED as opposition sympathisers . instead of focusing on the realities on the ground.
We better go back to where we were spiritually to God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob before it's too late.
We should take other nations as an example who forgot their God and the consequences.

He is trying to tell Ghanaians how they ndc are armed to deal with Ghanaians if Ghanaians dare challenge their legitimacy of retaining themselves in power. This guys are very much aware of their own created evil against Ghana and know Ghanaians will never let them go scot free so are bent to destroy the country to save themselves with their blood. The drones they are talking about are to monitor any neighbouring country that will try to help Ghanaians. Do you remember those air missiles confiscated in Kumasi? They are all part of ndc preparation to show down Ghanaians but it will never work. America went to Afganistan and Irag with all the powers that they had, at one time Sadam Husseine said' we can not fight this people because they have all it takes but we shall never back down' and it took America more than 7 years to evacuate some of her soldiers from these so called weak countries, nothing will work for the ndc in whatever they've planned, defeat and humiliation is awaiting them come Nov. 7
