    Ghanaweb,
    Every time you publish profiles, there are always debates about where the person , in question, hails from. It is because you always give incomplete profiles.

    Sometimes it baffles me to hear that Asantes don't like going to school. This is a quintessential example of a well-educated Asante gentleman.

  • KOFI 10 months ago

    This man a from Kwahu Atibie and a 100% Kwahu . Just because he schooled in Ashanti Region doesn’t mean he’s an Ashanti. Most good schooling Ashanti are full of non Ashantis .

  • Senior Kofi 10 months ago

    He is my uncle. He is from Antoa. Ashanti region

  • Nkonim 10 months ago

    What is the difference between Asantes and Kwahus?

  • Kwami 10 months ago

    The Jandam man should come again with his tantrums that Mahama is sidelining Ashanti’s. If this CDS is also from Wa.

    Gbemela @Abu- Nkonya Barrister. The ayigbes will torment your brains into perpetuity. Gbeha. Idiot.

  • Abu-Nkonya Barrister 10 months ago

    @Yaw Wontum, Asantes are rather giving you brain diseases, do you know why Ayigbe woke up at early as 4am to go and find a blue kiosk to drink Akpetashie? Avuu koklo, you will continue to be a farm labourer to Asantes unti ...

    When ayigbes we're making coups, they didn't do them with chief of defence staff rank or general ranks. Stupid fool, learn some common sense. Some ayigbes snatched your wife or girlfriend?

    The RESET seems to be in progress.

    Military having no Divisions or Brigades but a few Battalions, has a full 4 star general commanding.

    Congratulations on your elevation to the highest appointment in the Ghana Armed Forces and may the Good Lord endow you with divine wisdom to propel our Army to greater heights.

    Intake 30 is indeed proud of you

  • Ivory Mensah 10 months ago

    So will they jump him to Lt- General ? Or the cds and the service commanders will be on the same rank. And an accountant cds ? Nothing about core military higher education ? Am not sure this man can deliver !

  • Kofi 10 months ago

    Who appoints a 1 star general over 2 or 3 star generals as CDS?; This is a recipe for discontent, rancour and indiscipline in the armed forces

  • Kwabena 10 months ago

    Note that the 2 and 3 star generals can't serve under him. They will all be retired by force.

  • Kwaku 10 months ago

    They are all retiring. This is exactly what happened. I know two Generals. A lt General and a major general. They are both retiring because technically they can’t be his subordinates. I’m sure this was an indirect way to ...

  • Richard 10 months ago

    Because it's fine gentleman

  • Offshore Waters 10 months ago

    It’s obvious Mahama wants a youthful military with a non heavy top hierarchy. The upside is that it would accelerate modernization and innovation. The military should lead in nation building like Israel and Chinese military ...

    The president got it right about his choice of CDS. He is where he is because they didn't want to promote him even though he has an impeccable qualifications coupled with vast experiences.
