We are daydreaming to believe one-month-training for our corrupt policemen is enough to combat terrorism.

today our country has the notorious reputation of being one of the most corrupt in the world thanks to pepeni and his band of thieves . we told everyone we knew he had no plan or program to develop the nation except pillage the little monies left and yet today the claim that they could not perform because of a petition . look at their ministers who anything more than 3 pages is a challenge to read talk less of projects whose summaries alone can be over 5000 pages , they are so lazy and selfish that nothing good can come from them . their chief ideologist of evil avenoor was killed and i had planned to go to his grave and urinate and relieve myself on him once every month but he cremated himself i guess i will do so instead on rawlings grave soon. workers are on strike because they know this azaa govt has no clue and in this day and age considering the wealth of the nation no one should work for less than 1000 cedis or 500$ but if free education was such a challenge how can they ever fathom such a reality . they are hopeless so we are preparing for our revolution and telling all righteous to sharpen their knives and bury their guns to wait for for the clarion call. they think they have fooled the Akans especially the fantis , a third of their votes came from the fantis but there is not a single substantiate minister who is a true fanti . they wage war against us Akans but when we come our and call foul they say we are liars . we are ready now so let them bring it on . long live the republic of Akan

MR. IGP YOU NEED A CLOSE QUARTER FIGHTING WEAPONS FOR YOUR SWAT PERSONNEL. IN FIGHTING TERRORISM YOU REQUIRE HOUSE TO HOUSE CLEARING THAT MEANS THAT THE LONG WEAPONS WOULD NOT HELP ACHIEVE THE PURPOSE. IN ADDITION, HAVE THE FRAK JACKETS BEEN TESTED AT CLOSE RANGE TO ENSURE NO BULLETS CAN PENETRATE THEM? WHAT ABOUT THE STEEL HELMETS? THINK ABOUT THEM.

Mr IGP, this is nothing you are doing
a terror will come all atonce with no
mesages.Only you are funny and proud
thinking you are doing something.
Terrors mean business,get ready for
them soon.

This is not how terrorists are fought. US Army or NATO forces would have cleared them long ago. Fighting terrorists effectively is not about reacting to attacks but preventing these attacks.

You can't even control armed robbery. How can you control someone who is willing to kill himself and kill others as well?

We could be armed to the teeth, but if security men, the Police and other security agents can be compromised with bribery, then we are in trouble. In Kenya, a few of the Mall Security men were bribed to get and keep some items(weapons) inside the mall. Some few Ghana Police Personnel could bribed with as little as five to ten Cedis. Oh! what a shame!
The whole Ghanaian society have lost its conscience. The custom officers demand gifts at airport. On my last visit to Ghana I was delayed, at the airport because I refused to give a gift(bribe)to the custom and Exercise lady who handled my bags. Imagine I was a terrorist with contraband goods. I don't pay bribe.
Corruption need to weeded out. The government must be serious. Chop, chop is all they know.

Yup,you're very right.Our principles (as if we have any) are always for sale and we have absolutely no values except bribes.Terrorism will easily win in Ghana where greed has become a way of life.

The United States of America, probably has the most highly trained armed forces and police in the world, yet the country experienced terrorist attacks and lost of lives, armed robberies, rapes and murders are Routine occurrences in the US. Americans do not call for outside help to solve their problems, they man up and figure out ways to solve America's problems.

Most of you responding to this article sound like wannabe slaves, you sound like knee shaking NEGROES with your tails between your legs calling for some white nation to save your sorry black tails, when are some of you going to grow some manly testicles and stop sounding as though your wives wear the pants and you wear the panties in the house.

To those of you who think that Ghana police is joking, just test them by pretending to terrorize the nation and see what will happen to your sorry behinds. Intelligent people do not second guess the efforts of their nation's security forces, especially when terrorist attacks are on the increase worldwide, only Complete IDIOTS engage in such a practice.

The security of any nation depends on all of it's citizens, the police is just the first line of defense, a conscience alert and adroit MASSES must at all times be ready to join with the security forces, to report, arrest and prevent things from happening, reactionaries must man up or SHUT UP!

Mahama and his gang are more dangerous than the terrorist they are planning against. We need an uncompromising protection from Mahama who is destroying Ghana than any terrorist group.

Who in his right mind will work for two years without getting paid and what should such a person do than to use any means to collect his/her salary or wage?

I'll better offer myself to the terrorists to kill than to rely on Ghana Police to protect me. It's like keeping money with John Mahama. The man is so corrupt.
