The only avowed enemy of Christians is Satan and so if Muslims have issues with traditional authorities, the best place Muslim youth should have attacked was the shrines of the traditional deities and not six ( Christian churches. This was deliberate and not a mistake. What would have happened afterwards if Christians had retaliated? Does it mean that Muslims are agents of Satan who has vowed to destroy the church? This is why Mahama should have condemned the Muslim youth for this needless provocation but unfortunately he did not. Is it because he is happy Muslims are destroying the church or he is brainless as a leader.

What does the Mahama NDC gov't means by an Ultra modern Kumasi central market? What comparable ultra modern market in developed countries of the world should Ghanaians compare this Ultra modern Kumasi central market?
We have been in this country when the uncompleted extension of the runway of Kumasi Regional Airport has been described by the Mahama NDC gov't as an ultra modern international airport comparable to any international airport in the US, Germany, France, UK, Holland, China, Hong Kong, etc, etc. So what does the Mahama NDC gov't means by an ultra modern Kumasi central market because Ghanaians have had it with mediocre leadership and propaganda.

You are lucky even to be paid $$$$$ in Ghana. US$5,000.00 is a lot of money if you use it well. Those who have reliable wives should give this money to them for wise disbursement and use.

It is this writer who will suffer the doom he has professed on his officers. Why because he is an ignorant fool who doesn't know what he is talking about. he thinks UN is father Christmas to dole out money before deployment. For his info and that of fools like his ilk, the UN is also going through the same crisis like Ghana is doing. Inflows are not frequent as it should be. The Govt is struggling to pre-finance. If you stupid soldiers cant bear with the situation, stop going on the missions. Better still leave the Army. you write stupid lies on the net thereby allowing civilians to buy into your lies and denigrate the Institution you profess to love to a nonsense point. Note that the officers you slander and libel also have families and are capable of cursing you and your families as well for the untruths spewed against them. My worry which should be a worry to all Ghanaians is that with the level of indiscipline exhibited by soldiers these days, Ghana has no Army. Govt better equips the Police because in times of crisis, these monetized cowards can not come to our rescue. coward soldiers.

All is good but Allah will reward all through our own coins. Do not under estimate any soldier now. UN rather pay the Contributing Country before troops are deployed. The contract is between UN and Troop Contributing Country. So Ghana Government is being paid by UN before troops are deployed. Stop this cheating and Allah will reward you. The MOU is clear to contact on any UN Peace Mission Operation. The High Command only use their position period.

Should paying the troops their allowances in lower cedi denominations create a bone of contention with their superiors? The soldiers may wrongly believe that paying them in higher denominations would have solved their problem. I cannot believe that in Ghana, people still rely on cash to transact major businesses. While officers tend to have bank accounts, the other ranks don't. Therefore, cutting them checks for deposits into their accounts is impractical. The bottomline is that people should be encouraged to open bank accounts to minimize these sort of cash transactions.

When I first saw the headlines, I thought someone has cheated the soldiers only to read that some "Abongo soldiers" are crying about the dollar bills they were paid with.

And to the Army bosses, do you have to pay these people in the full glare of everyone? You don't pay the through the banks? After flying millions of dollars to Brazil for the Black stars and all the brouhaha that followed that episode, one would have thought that as a nation we would learn from our past mistakes.

I will always say this, Ghanaian leaders are wicked and selfish, as it replicate to the so called higher command of the arm forces(officers) they always think about themselves not the (other ranks), they should continue to invest the junior ranks money for their own selfish deeds. "How can u travel with troops and say UN haven't rendered the moneys due for the troops". U the soo called "officers" should continue cheating and putting fear into the OR's bcos u think the army is for u pple, and they will also continue to resign, and one day yr abusing of powers will surely "fall in the sink".
