Kill muslims. Quran is toilet paper
If you stop these nonsense it will do you some good. May the confusion you want inthis country come on you and you alone
What at all do you get from these messages? Are your mad or just a fool?
I piss on your rotten of your sick mother
You shall surely be identified and dealt with. Christians, Muslims and members of all other religions would continue to live in peace We appreciate the importance of it and would not allow your stupidity to hold sway.
John Mahama is ashamed for what he's done to Dampare he'll soon sack all Jubilee House staff who worked under Akuffo Addo. JDM never liked Dampare when Prof Mills caught him for taking bribe from Airbus Int. Dampare was prese ...

@Kwaku Tee. Why retain the Jubilee House Staff that were corrupt under Akufo Addo to the point the place was coined JULORBIHOUSE!
Kwaseato! Why should mahama even use the Jubilee house as his state office after describing the Jubilee house as a chicken farm? Ndc agyimifoc will always retrogress
Liar liar NPP gyimie liar.
Mahama was the first president in Ghana to use Jubilee house
Dampare's cup is full. This is only the beginning of his downfall, he will never see light. He has destroyed many fine police officers and his time has come for God to destroy him. Leave him alone or go down with him; it is d ...

Absolutely
The politicians in uniform are gone forever. The armed forces is reset.
The Terminator
Wow...... 1 star General I hope we don't have major generals and lieutenant generals in the Armed forces
Coup Detat has destroyed the mentality of NDC followers the only solution is another Coup Detat is to reconcile the wickedness and Foolishness of Jun 4th 1979 revolt .
I am equally surprise. Brigadier generals coming to lead Lt. Generals and major Generals?
That's good for the Armed Forces. The population of the Armed Force is too small for a 4 star General. The highest rank should be Brigadier.
Those Lt Gens and Maj Gens have outlived their usefulness they have to go for the system to run effective and efficiently. We don't need an aging
Armed Forces for that reason the young ones should be given the opportunity t ...

Simply means all officers above the rank of Brigadier-General will be forced to retire.
Akufo Addo recklessly loaded the Ghana Army with a Full General, several Lt. Generals and Major Generals, with no regard for the size of ...

Mike, this has happened before in the Armed Forces. J A Kuffour appointed Brig-Gen J B Danquah as CDS. He was subsequently promoted through Maj-Gen to Lt Gen on the same day. Brig-Gen Willie Agyapong will have same promotion ...

Oppong Preprah and the rest of the exiting service chiefs were all rapidly promoted to allow them to occupy their appointments so it is no big deal.
Mr president bring me names of the other commanders so we know they are ewes and northerners.
The next elections you will know there are akans and Gas in the country
Forget it.May must follow NEBUCHADNEZZAR and go with them.
Your tribal cards would not wash.
Good news mr president but you are very slow in firing the previous appointees by the lilliput imbecile former president family and friends regime.
Geeman you think we are in your homeland Togo.Primitive Ayigbes.
You ewe morons will always retrogress
King, is Agyapong not a twi speaking person? There's no tribalism is this appointment. If you deserve it, you will have it
If you deserve it you have it? Definitely not when politicians are involved!
U r very stupid bigot to say that. Under Akuffos govmnt, how many ministers r Ewes. And he had this big number of ministers. Only Amewu. Did any Ewe complain. See Mahamas government. A government of all tribes. How many Ewes ...

How about the Ewes also keep giving NPP paltry votes in every election? Mainwhile NDC got more votes in Ashanti Region than Volta region in both 2020 and 2024 general elections. And for your info NDC votes dropped in Volta re ...

Kwaseato! You got it all wrong because statically ewes living in Ashanti Region are more than ewes in their own volta Region
William Agyapong and Agyen Frimpong are Ewe and Northern names. Rubbish
Your comment is baseless.
Until Akufo Addo arrived on the scene, there was careful balancing of the Armed Services.
Often, there is one or two Akans, one Ewe, one Northerner and one Ga-Adangbe/another minority ethnicity...v ...

Mahama means Dumsor
@Nkoko. Yes if you are a dunderhead and imbecile!
Yes he does- after he follows an incompetent party and leader for 8 years who does nothing but destroy the economy.
The top of the Ghana armed forces is too heavy.
Something ought to be done about it.
Because colonels now retire on their salaries, every officer aims at that rank for retirement planning.

Mahama is now the ‘ Chief Sacker’ in Ghana. His recent electoral victory has indeed gone into his head and exposed his vindictiveness.
Wake up man to realities. Ur great defeat is still paying u bad. Better go back to the blackboard n plan a strategy of winning devoid of lying, corrupt practice, stealing votes n deceit of voters.
Wow NDC fool taking about stealing votes. Oh wonders shall never end indeed
Trump has sacked everyone ...
Everyone goes with his pay masters ...
Sad for the Navy guy because he was very competent ..
May God forgive John Mahama
He'll forgive you and your decendants.
The EC and the chief justice should also go for the reset agenda to have the full power to work.
Anann Glover ,my main man.
The chief sacker will sack everybody and later sack himself.,There is nothing new;it's the same old story.
Glover as Chief of Staff? Hmmm
Sack everybody who was appointed by the ugly old akyempanzee with no neck at once!
They can't be trusted!
You ayigwe idiot will never get anybody in your family like Nana Addo. May God bless Nana Addo for giving your useless family free education. Ofui
Ghanaians voted for jobs not sacked dead goat
Those talking about sacking don't know how the security system runs. The new government must deal with people he can trust and the changes are for carrier progression.
Hold your peace bro. The idiots who are complaining are just displaying how daft they are. They know it's the right thing to do.
If I may ask has any government retained service and armed forces heads before. Akufo Addo took over on January 7, 2017 and Samson Oje the CDS was changed in February 17, 2017
Please Sampson Oje retired voluntary
That is not true, that fine gentleman did not reach his potential when he was asked to go home, just some few years if I am not mistaken when he took over from Quashie
So there are no 3 and 2 star generals in the GAF.
Hmmmm
And so what? Nkwasiasem pro maxx!
Indeed, there were too many 2 and 3 star Generals for the health of the GAF.
This is the opportunity to reduce the weight of the stars for the health of the GAF.
All one star appointees will receive a second star soon, and ...

Long overdue. Trust no one appointed by npp.
Brigadier GENERALS
What happened to the recent promotions by Akufo Addo to Lt GENERALS and major GENERALS
Where do they all go now ?!
This is dangerous Mahama .
Can't they sell coconut . With their military discipline?
No major generals or equivalent in the GAF???
This is evil council coming from a chief.i think he want yo destroyed the ndc party.ndc ipb your eyes
Nana Addo came to destroy the Ghana Armed Forces. We were not in Iddi Amin's Uganda to have 4 star Generals in this tiny Armed Force. This means that All ranks from 4 star to 2 star are going home. This is called, resetting o ...

Most top military promotions and other security agencies were seemingly bribes to allow former President Akufo Addo to rule Ghana like a headless fish. In fact Ghana was without a President. Akufo Addo was just a ceremonial P ...

More fire my mahama ghana we be good againe
Chief of defense staff and chief of army staff what is that? Is that not duplication? And by the way why is he still appointing Asante people into prominent positions? Didn't they have their time already ?
Massa if you don't understand the military ranks/appts just keep your ignorance to yourself.
Mr Ibu, chief of defense staff is the boss of army, Air Force and navy combined.
Mr Ibu akans form about 60% of the Ghanaian population. Someone withAkan name may not necessarily be an Asante. The former CDS is a Bono. Please stop your ignorance
Are Bonos not Akans?
Anyway, he became CDS because he had an Akyem Abuakwa wife.
Family and friends.
The new commanders should be careful.They should change old hands in all appointments and give chance to others who were sidelined in the GAF if not ….Open your ears and listen .People voted for reset
Disillusioned Mahalair, appoints a one star officer over 2 & 3 stars officers

" Political Replacement " Not Sacking because those who were formally at post weren't Criminals
Good Job JM, take all these buffoons out from from office. They did formal COAS bad. He suppose to be the CDS but friends and nephew government made Nana Addo to derail the good general we have. Fools go home.
