We have been told that no soldier will be near a polling station unless they are invited by the police. What are the soldiers doing there? To be honest, if these attempts don’t stop, there will be violence. Some have already been killed. There is so much anger that only God knows what will happen to all those who are cheating and trying to rig the elections.

Why does the corrupt and incompetent NPP government allow soldiers at polling stations if not to let them cause mayhem? Akufo-Addo and Bawumia are thieving liars who claimed soldiers will not be be posted at polling stations. NPP is a violent All-Die-Be-Die political party that uses Ghana security personnel to do NPP's dirty work.

The bigger mistake here is the lack of an election rule or law barring the military from polling stations. In the event of any conflict at polling stations, the Police are armed and have been trained to handle such matters, and only the Police should be called on to quell any disturbance at a polling station. The military has no business sticking its nose into the election process.

Only a mad man will try to prevent an armed military man from entering a place of his choice. You can't intimidate or disgrace an armed military officer. He won't accept that so he should not have done that. It was risky.

Where then can they lodge a complaint when neither the military nor the EC will listen? Citizens have to be bold enough to fight against these soldiers and anyone else trying to use their power to bully the public, The European countries and America that out citizens keep running to for greener pastures did not get to where they're today without their citizens being willing to stand up against repression or abuse by those in authority, often shedding blood and losing lives in the process. We're in the pathetic state that we're today because for long our parents and guardians have instilled in us to be obedient to authority without questioning anything, and that has caused our society to be a society of docile cowards who only make loud noise behind closed doors. All these chiefs who keep singing silly praises of thieving politicians, no one has even heard them speak out against the military having its presence at polling stations, yet these chiefs want to play a greater in government.

So why has this Julor House NPP galamsey government not used the military to stop the galamsey criminals from destroying lands, polluting rivers and mining minerals without a license and and also not paying any tax on the minerals that they mine? You make no sense with you misrepresentation of black people. If a White person had made such a statement to you, I bet you would be crying foul and racism, yet here you stab=nd stupidly demeaning the Black race. What is unfolding at the polling stations has nothing to do with one's race; rather, it's all due to poor governance, lack of meaning election laws, lack of a will to enforce the laws that are already in existence, and a military force whose leadership doesn't know better to keep its military personnel from being entangled in elections.

There was a commotion at the bus station when NDC supporters alleged vote buying. Prison officers stationed there called for backup, and the military arrived. However, an NDC representative objected to the military presence, citing the president's directive to keep them away. Ironically, the NDC supporter's overconfidence sparked the entire incident.

One wonders why the Military in these elections? The military has its own duties against foreign interference, and extremely rowdy civil unrest situations. The Military is a complete breed of service providers . Only a useless , corrupt ,hopeless and incompetent government would use the military for their evil purposes.Our police and other agencies are for our daily protection. More police officers should be trained to be able to cope Properly and perform their duties as peace keepers in our country but not our military. These half baked politicians are just abusing our military to protect their own interests.

The brains are the most important to Africa leaders. Ghana needs thinkers like Chinese who can produce for themselves industrial technologies for mass productions. STOP buying from China and produce for yourselves. Africa is rich but the people are poor because the brains of our leaders are not working. Mahama has nothing for Ghana. Bad choice. How many years NDC and NPP have ruled Ghana? Ghanaians are going to cry soon again. Africa problems are thinkers. We Africans don't have thinkers to manage our affairs. Mahama is a bad choice for Ghana. Both NDC and NPP are the same destroyers. These 2 parties have nothing good for Ghana. Ghanaians must vote for smart able thinker who can focus on industrial technologies, science, developments mass, and cheap productions like what China is doing. Africa is very rich continent. The main problem is the BRAIN. The Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese are using their brains. Science, Industrially Technologies are what Africans must look for like we see in China, Japan and Korea. China can feed the whole world, mass production and sell to entire world. Africa leaders can't use their brains. Why do we buy from China? We have the natural resources to produce for ourselves. Ghana has all the natural resources but the people are poor. WATER IS LIFE. Why our leaders can't stop galamsey ? We don't have capable and responsible leaders in the country. A leader who can force citizens to do what is right. Do we have one? The country has become like animal farm. Galamsey, corruption, mismanagements are everywhere in Ghana
