KAF, these guys are a huge joke.
They don't even know when and where the next armed robbers are going to strike, but are always boasting about being ready for terrorists.

Even Nigeria and Niger and Chad and Cameroon and Benin together cannot defeat Boko, and these fools are saying what?

Why don't they just shut their farts and not draw attention to our already-battered, pitifully-poor country?

Our leaders must stop tempting the devil.

Stop the lies and let the people know war is inevitable as that is the only way to secure true freedom for the Akan nations. If we accept this fact then we also must know our sacrifice of a few million lives will ensure the total annihilation of all enemies of the Akan nation. People now know that the so called coup of Rawlings was nothing but as in all things a Ayigbe tribal war against the Akans camouflaged by the bullshit of a revolution against corruption. It is now clear why the intelligentsia of the Akans especially the Fantis was under the cover of darkness , false accusations and unfair prosecutions driven out of the country or killed or tortured so much so that they empty shells with broken spirits. Yes we see how even the cowardly brother of Mills react to the murder of a sitting Akan prince . We learn from history how the Nazi criminals were able to secure the assistance of the Jews in Warsaw to kill and oppress their own people and today we see the same in the likes of Gen Mosquito , and a few other glorified idiot ministers serving in this pepeni/ayigbe govt today. Our people have been instructed to exercise patience so with this new bio-metric registration we will know who exactly our traitors are as no Akan will vote for them except the backstabbing criminals amongst us. Pepeni and aygbe have formed their anti Akan alliance with the assistance of their satellite tribes such as the Adas , some Gas , and help from the neighboring countries , we see that they have armed themselves with guns hoping in the confusion after the next election to commit genocide and massacre as many Akans as possible but we are ready and organized. God is with us and we shall surely be victorious and the veils of lies and deception no longer cover our eyes . Anyone like me they dream and fantasize how we shall be betrayed by our own people or take confidence in non Akans like our gullible did 30 years ago but now our people are vigilant . We shall never be the slaves and servants of their islamised boko harem Ghana but we shall fight in the hills and valleys and never surrender. We have many men of achievement even global fame such as Kofi Annan who by the way can never be invited to be president because of the anti Akan agenda , yet JJ masquerades around because he is the hero who the ayigbe consider to have cunningly defeated the Akans . Now he and his henchmen prepare the final sakawa scam to ensure poverty and misery for the Akans . He has enstooled pepeni omanhene mahama who goes to the UN to fight for Muslims and Palestinian rights instead of encouraging investments and good relations with our natural allies since Vasco De Gama in the west.

Hudu or what your name is, if u have issues sort them out but never try to make comments abt christianity by spaking abt men or women who are not praticing the gospel according to Jesus. One there is no where in the bible that allows gay or tell any one to have sex with same gender. God in Levitcus 20:13, 1Corinthians 6:9, Leviticus 18:22 and others talk abt how God hate gayism. So tell me Hudu which one is a christian character or behaviour. Think abt your life abt how your religion has change the dynamism of how we relate in this world now.

Brig. Adeti tell your government to stop stealing and concentrate in giving the Ghanaian people governance, your show of power by this exercise of combating Boko Haram is a sham, if you are doing this because of the opposition in Ghana then have a second thought that you are not being paid by the ndc but the republic of Ghana which you need to be loyal to and her people not ndc. If you are doing this because of john mahama then your mission is impossible because no force can frighten the people when they are fighting for their future and accountability. Advise themto stop their dubious actions of impoverishing the people to enrich themselves because the power of the people is not a joke and nobody must play with the peace of the country. John Mahama must GO it simple as that he and his government are incompetent thieves.

The British should have disbanded the military right after second world war. There is no use of Ghana having a huge standing army whose budget puts a strain on our scanty revenue.

Who doesn't know what a security threat is or what do you think you that some of us do not know or, simply because you have been a soldier or whatever give the edge? You know why Ghana stagnant? Due to unnecessary coups since 1966.

In developed countries, people don't get these ranks while sitting in the office. There is another Colonel something, who specialises in pulling down toll boots at Legon in the night.

Old Soldier, have you guys fought armed robbery and corruption in Ghana? If you couldn't do this simple thing what shows that you could fight boko haram? All we are asking is, you guys I mean military are cowards so do not go and anger boko haram. We are already facing our nightmares of armed robbery and corruption in Ghana. Maybe because you are an old soldier you have not yet experienced these evil armed robbers and the armed robbers do not attack the military but do you know what is facing us everyday by these armed robbers on the buses, cars, lorries and in our homes? If you are aware of these armed robbers then put measure in place to protect us than to go and anger boko haram for them to come and attack us when you can not do anything. You are cowards everyone of you, and everyone knows that. It was only J J Rawlings who laid his life for us. He didn't care if he was killed or insulted. People are still even insulting J J Rawlings who laid his fearless life and stood for us all and he still doesn't care when people insult him for the good sacrifice he made for us. He will continue to speak the truth but not you guys. Anas sacrificed to expose corruption and look at what is happening? The evil judges lawyers and politicians are attacking him here and there. Which of you in the military today will sacrifice? You are all playing tribalism politics. Leave boko haram in peace.

There are proportionally more Ewes in the army than any other tribes. This is not fair for one of the smallest population in the country to have the largest number in the army. It breeds mistrust, hatred, descent, domination and instability. The army intake should address the imbalance which is making some tribes boast of strength and intimidatory posture should there be violence in the country. Also, the government should tread carefully in dealing with Boko Haram as they can be very unpredictable. Ghana is a small country relative to the size and the army of Nigeria, who are struggling to contain Boko Haram. Mahama should weigh his utterances.

I am not a soldier but I am actually concerned with their living conditions.They will be capable of keeping the beloved country safe from boko haram if they are given what they deserve.Amunitions alone will not make them capable of ensuring safety. The soldier at the war front always thinks of the welfare of his or her family.Do they desreve to live in slumps? President Mahama and our honorable ministers, our safety is in the hands of our soldiers and the police. Call spade a spade not a tool for diging.

Experience Security Heads don't express concern but find solution to problems and deal with it.

When you hear these kinds of statements from our military or security agencies people should pause and read into the who address. The NDC gov't is really using crude means to subdue the will of the people. We have never heard of Boko Haram until recently when it was reported that a KNUST student had enrolled with the notorious terrorist group.

Moments after the NDC and EC organised a forum on the call for a new voters register, voices across the country have expressed their shock at the way the commission had succeeded in organizing paid groups who were invited to the debate. It's shocking to note how John Mahama's NDC gov't could hoodwink Ghanaians by using the EC to do the gov't bidding. Many people have expressed shock on social media and the airwaves across the world about the dangerous events in Ghana. Is Ghana truly a democratic country? Or is this kind of democracy the NDC have always attempted to preach about? Some have previously suggested that it was former military ruler, J.J. Rawlings who introduced democracy in Ghana. What the kind of blatant suppression of the people's will that's going on in Ghana, it won't be a surprise to see Ghana turn upside-down. When gov't forces employed to suppress its own citizens the result is a revolt! It doesn't matter the casualties. God has given every individual or Ghanaian their right to live in freedom. The motto of our dear country also quote "Freedom and Justice." So John Mahama and his NDC cannot attempt to foist their will on Ghanaians, when it's become clear that they cannot do anything good for Ghana. Instead of creating a favourable investment climate to attract and promote business, they have rather opted to acquire huge loans that's sunk our once bouncing economy.

There's corruption in high gov't places, unemployment everywhere, NHIS doesn't work anymore as school feeding program has also is nothing to write home about. Sensing danger, about their imminent removal from power by Ghanaians in 2016, John Mahama is using the EC and the security forces to threaten and intimidate Ghanaians. But the whole world is watching. Obsessed with power, they fail to realize that the world is closely watching events as they unfold. Can Mahama and his NDC afford the might of Ghana's concerned allies when he's asked to step down? He should learn some lessons from Cote d'Ivore when Gbagbo was forced to leave the throne after his attempt to rig the elections. The NDC have failed Ghanaians miserably, but instead of admitting their failure they're rather planning to rig the 2016 elections and extend their stay in power, forcing Ghanaians into more suffering and misery.

The words of the Military Officer should be taken seriously. There is no imminent Boko Haram threat to Ghanaians despite the recent report that a University student had joined their camp.

In a recent statement by one of Ghana's top army officers regarding allerged threat by Boko Haram, he said: "Speaking to the media during this year’s land combat power demonstration at the Bundase Training Camp on Friday, he said the army is happy there have not been any incidents of Boko Haram in the country.

He said at the GAF have loyal officers who are ready to fight and defend the country against either a foreign or home grown threats.

“We reassure the nation of the army’s operational posture, preparedness and readiness to defend and protect the country from any aggression, be it internal and or external,” he said.

Brig Gen Adeti also added that the government has recently supplied modern ammunition to the infantry unit and other military units hence the army’s vigilance to battle the enemies of the state." It's a good message but also raises some concern especially when NDC would make call for the alert of Ghana's security forces, when NPP's Sammy Awuku had earlier said the youth will soon embark on nation-wide demonstration to express their disgust about the EC's bias stance in the just-ended debate on the need for a new voters register. The NPP's doesn't believe in chaos and the country's youth will not be encouraged to stage any violent demonstration. So why is the NDC and the military trying intimidate Ghanaians with all these bogus speeches? Staging a peaceful protest doesn't call for the Military to get involved. Ghanaians everywhere in the country should make time to pray unto the voice of the Mighty Lord for his own judgement, because; "the battle as it's already been told, "is the Lords!"

When you keep on cheating your subordinates, I mean the ORs in terms of their entitlements and end of service benefits, how can you fight them when the majority are these same ORs? You are living in a fools paradise. Boko haram is not just about causing panic and destruction but geared towards fighting corruption like that of Ghana Armed Forces. You either pay them or face their wreath in the coming days.

but if you have witness an innocent person being beaten by a mob, you will not say Gh is a peaceful country. Most of the youth don't have anything doing, Also, they can say is peaceful because most of the youth don't have ACCESS to weapons, which we thank the men and women on our borders for a good job done

Boko Haram haven't come to Ghana so why bragging about what you will do? What can you do? If you can do anything why haven't you put measure in place to fight against armed robbers who are destroying our nation? Why do you people brag about something that hasn't faced you yet, and can not even deal with armed robbers that have become our nightmare in this nation? Please military have you have any concern at all about what is happening in our dear nation, tell me what you will do to help to fight corruption in Ghana and also armed robbers in Ghana? Do not go and make boko haram the satanic group angry to come and attack us and our children when you military can not do anything. Deal with armed robbers and corruption in Ghana and shut up. After J J Rawlings none of the military is bold, you are all cowards making yourselves rich. The country is facing the nightmare of corruption and armed robbery has any of you reassure anyone? Shut up and leave Boko haram alone. God will deal with that satanic group at His own time. If God does not deal with them today, at the judgement day they will all face the God of glory and boko haram will be grouped among lucifer and all his agents.

The emergence of political militia is very dangerous and must be nipped in the bud. It poses a threat to national security as it is a timed bomb that can ignite at the slightest political whim and caprice.

What does an idiot like Afotey Agbo know to be present at such and event? In NDC any idiot is just picked and imposed on the people as a minister. Just any fool is allowed to piss on us all because some silly Ghanaians continue to vote (without thinking) for NDC,a party created out of coup d'etat and with the state's resources. I loathe NDC with a lot of passion.
