  • islam is a false religion 5 months ago

    Say no to islam. and convert to a real religion. Prophet mohammed was a sick dog. Search online for ways to move away from evil islam. You can join ex-muslim groups online and be safe. .. ......you are not alone.

    Just propagate your religion and leave islam alone because you are too little to bring down Islam. Many have tried but failed so stop fooling yourself ok.

    The police would have taken the money, and even lead them into the forest. God bless our soldiers, and mother Ghana.

    The stupidity of our so called “leaders” is astonishing. Shouldn’t such a person rather be made to head a task force fighting illegal mining. But you rather transfer him out of the country. It’s such stupid decisions ...

    My thoughts, exactly. Is this supposed to be punishment disguised as promotion? I say that because he may not return home from Lebanon. I grew up in the Teshie barracks and know what I'm talking about.

    Hahahaha you are ignorant how can a lance corporal head a task force. Gambia is well paid he should have been sent to Gambia. I believe he did not refuse the bribe alone

    This is an Ewe guy. I like Ewes because of their morals. No is No, and yes is yes. We salute him.

  • Citizen8 5 months ago

    @Yes, tribal bigotry is an abominable act in modern society. Your comment is totally out of place. The gentleman is a Krobo, not even an Ewe. But that isn't necessary at all. He's a Ghanaian full of integrity.

  • FRIMPONG 5 months ago

    I don’t get it! He refused to be probed and was rightly rewarded. Does it mean everyone else takes the bribe? And why are you moving the good one amongst them from Ghana. Why not allow him

    It's possible they don't want our moral law-enforcement officers sniffing around galamsey sites and telling the public what's going on. If you aren't aware, our prominent politicians and traditional chiefs are all involved in ...

    The only institution left in Ghana that has some integrity is the Ghana Armed Forces.All the remaining ones are a disgrace to the nation. Well done young Soldier. God richly bless you.

    What happens to those soldiers who took bribe? Gaf also bring them out this same way and punish them let see

  • Martin A 5 months ago

    The soldier was promoted from private to lance corporal for not accepting bribe that was offered. They should have made him a full corporal or a sergeant. That would be better than a one step promotion to L/cpl.
