Gyemi, continue with this dilusional comments till your family member finish universtity degreee or masters at the age of 22 or 25years and told by employers they want someone with 4 years experience and older than 40years for that position. Then you will remember the gerontocracy you are propagating today because of your flagbearer is not good for a nation building. Abrewa 3wu na y3di 3biriwa 3die adie3 an 3yie noaa na y3tu ahy3 da.

These military guys think they are wise. They just given it to an old man so that they can bully anytime they want. Though its a good step but they should have given it to someone who can govern.

I thought our president trip to BF was useless and that he travels too much?
Is this good news or bad news?

It is not the duty of the armed forces to rule or govern. If Mahama is not good, let's vote him out come December 2016.
Yes to the ballot, no to the gun. Ballots, not bullets, the lesson from February 1966 to 2014.

A shining example to our African brothers and sisters who have chosen to wear khaki in public service.In all successful coups,the segment of the population who benefit the most are the civilians who purport to play backbenchers roles but ,in effect,pursue their ulterior motives of looting from the state coffers,and consequently tainting the soldiers good intentions.
In this regard,will it not be wise for the soldiers to confine themselves to their mission of defending the countries against external aggression?
Military takeovers have always reversed or delayed the clock of progress on the African continent.The continent is longing to see a new soldier who will uphold the constitution of their country as has been exemplified in Burkina Faso.
All is not lost yet in Africa.There is still light at the end of the long dark tunnel.To all those Burkinabes who called off the bluff of Blaise Campore,i doff my hat off to you.

Our military like the civilians in Ghana are cowards to force a change of government. That is why JJ does not see anyone as his equal.

The French imperialists who installed the murderer-thief, Blaise Compaore, and rescued him to the Ivory Coast are still working in step with their No 2 puppet dictator, Zida, to keep Compaore-ism alive without Compaore. They have completely robbed the Burkinabes of the fruits of their heroic and righteous uprising. The moves taking place are to ensure that the uprising is completely neutralized and nothing changes.

The Burkina constitution is unequivocal: when the President steps down, the President of the National Assembly (the equivalent of our Speaker of Parliament) takes over and organizes elections from 30-90 days. None of this happened as Zida staged a coup and suspended the constitution. How could Zida disrespect and disobey the Chief of Staff of the Burkina Armed Forces - who is the No 1 officer in charge after the President? Because the African Union and ECOWAS all have shown their that they exist only on paper and have no balls to enforce their own principles. Instead they are coddling the current dictator just as they did in Guine-Bissau and elsewhere. Every African country is now at risk from military adventurers acting in the interests of their own pockets and the foreign neo-colonialists who back them. Mahama will bitterly regret someday that he did not crack the whip in the Burkina situation as ECOWAS President when the same scenario unfolds in Ghana someday!
