Can we create a space in southern Ghana & the middle belt and relocate all the indigenes of the 5 Northern regions to those places. We can then use that space for large farm lands. I've noted that these ppl hate peace and the only solution to spare this nation from their irreconcilable differences & violent lifestyle is to relocate them.

And were the Military right in beating the Lecturer to death for riding a Motorcycle during Curfew Hours? Did the Military Personnel know why the Guy was riding his Motorcycle during Curfew Hours? Please, don't take Ghanaians to the evil days of Efo Julor John Rawlings when many Ghanaians were irresponsibly arrested, tortured and murdered and tortured by irate Military men for so many stupid reasons like Worshipping during Curfew Hours. We remember what happened at Kumasi when ODIYIFO Asare and some members of his Church including a Policewoman were killed for worshipping during Curfew Hours. That was when Soldiers of the Ghana Armed Forces behaved like we lived in the Stone Age.
The Soldiers could have just arrested him and sent him to the Police Station for Breaking the Curfew Hours. For how long can these stupidities be carried on in a Democratic country. If there are Curfew Hours, is it not the Police who should enforce the law? Even Prehistoric people don't behave like our Soldiers are doing now. The Soldiers responsible should be arrested and put to trial to be charged with murder and if found guilty be Sentenced to do 50 years to Life imprisonment at the Nsawam Penitentiary without the possibility of a Parole. We have some insane people in the Military. Mahama and the Judiciary as well as the hierarchy of the Military Command, all Ghanaians are watching you. Act fast before the Teachers and Lecturers embark on any Industrial Strike. You know the ramifications any such an action by the Educationists will have on Ghanaians and the country.

@Nana. you are a big fool to looked down on us, what makes you think you southerners are better than us, next time you must think before posting irresponsible statements on this platform, we have the president among us, we have the speaker of parliament among us, we have many ministers coming from that part, even the major opposition party presidential candidate is coming from us, and yet we still have people like you idiot who think we are nothing in the country,

You act like someone that haven't had any emergency in the night before. What about your wife in labor in the night and that is the only source of transport ? Ignorance is a disease so you better see a doctor or think wide.

I understand but you can imagine arrogant things man might have exchanged words with the military during his non observance of the curfew.... He might have probably behaved "big" as usual that he was a lecturer etc.
And the Ghana military does not consider beating as anything bad - they did that probably to teach him a lesson but unfortunately he passed out.
Anyways, investigation must follow.

BE WISE, you are not behaving and talking wisely. Does the Military Personnel have to beat someone to death for Breaking Curfew Hours? Are they even needed to enforce Curfew unless it becomes desperately needed? What can a one person riding a Motorcycle during Curfew Hours do to endanger Ghana? These are some of the stupidities that went on during the dreadful and tortuous and Murderous AFRC Regime of Efo Julor John Rawlings. Is the Military Personnel above the Laws of Ghana? When these Murderous Men of the Army are arrested and sentenced into Prison for between 50 years and life imprisonment, they will realize their foolery and stupidities. Their children are going to suffer, may become homeless. Their wives are going to abandon them, and their own friends WILL BE DOING IT TO THEM. These are a bunch of useless and nauseating fools that should be put on trial and imprisoned for the rest of their lives. Yes. Let them be imprisoned and treated with miserable cruelty. They stupidly thought that they were above the Laws because they are Military Personnel. I pity their wives as they are going to try to make the ends meet as they take care of their children as Single Parents. I wish they are imprisoned and never made to see outside the Prison Walls again.

In as much as I will not condone any form of brutality on any citizen, we need to be fair to the military as well. The rule says don't do ABC, yet someone feels too big and over and above the rules. Moreover, he might have challenged the military because he was a 'big man'. I have had many interactions with both the military and the police, and 95% of the times, they are reasonable and friendly if you 'behave yourself'. Arrogance is a...........I rest my case.

only in Ghana! I have never seen uniformed soldiers in London before. The only time I saw soldiers in uniform was when about four of them came to a market campaigning for enlistment into the British army.

Ghanaian soldiers only know how to fight with unarmed civilians. These idiots are always poorly trained. Such a stupid thing will never be done by any group of European soldiers because they are the real soldiers.

Ah this is completely unacceptable. Was he killed for just breaking the curfew rules? That's a barbaric act then and any soldier involved must be removed from the military & prosecuted.

He died a foolish death... He knew there was curfew, and decided to test the soldiers probably because he thinks "I am a lecturer, they should understand".... How would the soldiers even know if he was a lecturer before they finished him?

He should have rather contacted the soldiers for a save passage during the non-curfew hours.
His own stubbornness has taken him to the grave.

And is this the Common Sense that you can pump from Drug Infested Brains? So Soldiers should beat and torture people who don't speak to them appropriately? We are no more in any stupid Military Revolution and Dictatorship. The Soldiers are going to be put to trial and possibly charged with murder. They are going to spend life imprisonment without the possibility of a Parole. Teachers Union in Ghana is very powerful and the Government will not want to have any problems with them. These Soldiers are on their own now. They are going to be imprisoned for over 50 years. Their families are going to be very poor and miserable. Their children are going to be in a very sorry state. Their wives are going to abandon them and probably married to their friends and acquaintances who shall not treat them nicely. These Soldiers are going to be extremely sad at the Prison and forever regret for their stupid actions but it is too late now. Such criminal activities by the Military and the Police do not happen at the Developed World.
Don't entertain the foolish thoughts that the Soldiers didn't know he was a University Lecturer. Democracy does not work that way. He was a Human Being. The Laws of the country must deal with them to the fullest elasticity. Let us not have any sympathy or empathy for them. Let them suffer for their cruelty to another Human Being.
