Serious matters ooo! Mental health is a disaster for the unemployed people.
Even the commander in chief has mental illness, how much more his followers. No wonder, Ghana security is full of mad people,,, mmoa paa
This problem has been existing very long time ago. Considering the way our soldiers take it as a fun to maltreat and bully civilians I always suspect this long time ago. Even soldiers who often go to war like US,UK, Russia, ...

I was actually expecting this figure to be far more than just 1,300 annually, based on the numerous military brutalities against innocent citizens.
Anyway, among the 1,300 annually, is the overall BOSS OF THE GHANA A ...

U have superiors bullying younger ones in the name of discipline. A work place where snr man is always right. take your mental health in my hands

Mr Journalist, the rank of the CDS is Lieutenant General. Please always check your facts and do responsible and decent reporting, please
Simply reform the training of recruits........when military officers are fighting police officers in the public, shd tell the training is deficit. Snr officers have just failed in the reforms.
The reference years are instructive.

1. DENIAL OF ANNUAL LEAVE ( who can work all year round)
2. POOR ACCOMMODATION ( How would soldiers think when they leave in horrible accommodations with some having 3 or 4 kids in same room)
3. D ...

Stupid son of moron parents
No wonder. Are those who killed the eight people during election 2020 part of those who have the mental problems? If they are not part, they must be located and have their heads properly examined. Another elections are coming ...

Many are mad few are naked!
This is not surprising to me because of the way party boys and girls were recruited into the service since 2017 till date. Proper background checks are not carried out on them because of protocol. Here we are faced with these ...

Hitting trainees head had with big stick has contributed to the mental health many military personnel. They need to stop that wicked act
