    We have something stronger than the men in the arm forces. It is called the rule of law. What an idiot.

    The rule of which law?

  • Don Blunt 11 years ago

    Men in Army Uniform are also "normal" common Ghanaians, like all the corrupt "Polititians". They are in no way better, or honest.
    The last so called 'strong' Military man, Jerry Rawlings, allowed people to be killed for owin ...

    Osie Tutu, to be honest, I did not read all the article but it is sad that there are Ghanaian youth who contemplate a military coup d'etat in Ghana in this day and age. You seem to be encouraging the men and women of the Ghan ...

    He is just frustrated with this Democrazy bullshit that is only benefiting a few. No one supports coups or murder but when you are frustrated beyond your ability you have no choice than to turn to violence.

  • MINOR CASE 11 years ago

    Our so called democracy is a sham. Real democracy works when you (1) have patriotic and intelligent people who use their heads and not their stomachs to decide on matters of the nation. (2) Where the laws of the country are ...

    The role of 'wo maame twe' law.
    You want to shame Ghana by inviting soldiers who are not politicians to ruin this country.
    Mahama is incompetent but we will use democratic means to get rid of him.

    Thanks Mr. Boateng Jnr, You see some of these People here in this forum have no Idea of Ghanas past, that is why they say anything when real brains are at work.

  • KOFFI 11 years ago

    Mr.Kwadwo,where is that rule of law when a few persons entrusted with the nation,s purse are impoverishing the populace and have turned themselves into a looting brigade? Where is that rule of law when elected managers of the ...

    You are still in the dark. The MEN have passed that stage. Don't forget your phone number provide enough clue to enable them MEN to invite you to substantiate the corruption part of your story against them.
