Another despot from the Rawlings camp.
He used his position to grab whatever he could lay his hands on. Like the master like the followers. Kick him away from your land boys.

By advising his followers to resort to all-die-be-die to get what you want at all cost, Nana Addo has ruined Ghana. It will take decades to overcome this unfortunate call to violence.

Now Nana is inciting NPP youth who are now declaring that unless the SC rules in their favour the country will be ungovernable. Yet the moral society is quiet.

Rawlings occupied power for about 20 years under the mantra - "probity and accountability", Mills and Mahama, " Better Ghana", instead of implement efficient public administration and enacting effective laws to address thr hithrto avoidable and preventable problems prevalent in Ghana such as: 1. lack of effective land administration system (poor town and country planning - poor road network system - not tarred and not named)
2. poor health delivery systems in the country (even the inrited NHIS is currently being mismanged and not improved)
3. poor transportation system (poor transport administration leading to daily deaths on our roads)
4. Poor educational delivery system leading to Ghana churning out only mediocre minds, no creative minds
5. name the rest.
Arnold Quainoo is paying the price of public mismanagement for lack of creating an efficient and effective land administration system for all the years he and his cohorts spent in power lording it over the people. The occupied power for power sake and to amass wealth with any improvement in the system for all to enjoy.

ADWEN are you educated properly? If Rawlings a military man came to do a bit, then what about the NPP?

Remember that NPP came into power with a principle of "Property Owning Democracy" and looted every Governmentt property in Ghana. These properties and lands that NPP members looted were built and provided by the CPP when Dr Nkrumah was in power.

The clear fact is that there nothing called Property Owning Democracy anywhere in this world, not even in USA or the UK where this principle began. Democracy is just Democracy. Yet in your werp mind you think Rawlings was more corrupt.

Very shame on you. General Quainoo surely may have acquired that land rightfully, yet you are abusing this man. Think again before you go about abusing elders in Ghanaian society.

I am sorry to say you are very stupid,Danny. Why are you taking sides? Does it mean the previous government did it so they should not be any cause for an alarm? These are the very things that ACHEAMPONG and his government did that led them to
the gallows. They amassed wealth. They seized properties belonging to the poor without any compensation.
And they were court-martialled and
shot. Rawlings government,of which Arnold Quainoo was a member then
explained it to Ghanaians as enemies of the society.They made us to believe that property aquisition by any means is abominable,but look at what is going on. Danny,the bed wetter. Is it,therefore,not logical for people to use the same standard
of measure on these murderers? Danny,the dull boy.Did you hear what Rawlings said about Woyome's fraud case,dummy? How come that people got shot on breach of contract on mere 50,000 cedis bank loan,whereas a homeboy cunningly with the help of our leaders twist the hands of the people to loot from the government's coffers $58 million dollars which is approximately 50 billion ghana cedis

who is this? Why dont you appear physical to explain your matter to the appropriate authorities but hiding behind anonymity? Go to Military Police or Military Intelligence for your issue to be addressed.

Yes, this is what happens when you use your position to acquire land illigally.
Remember that no position, army positions included, lasts for ever. Give the land back to the rightful owners, and go and acquire land in your village and stay there, after- all you are too old now. Your village chief will be happy and ready to help you. Do not forget, General, that the Armed Forces were formed to protect and help the people, and not to steal from them. Sorry, the police can not help you.

If you dont know fact, pls dont talk rubbish. The Supreme Court Has ruled that the land belongs to the General.
Go and see how they have sold the same portion of land to several different people.

dont touch a weapon to defend any acquired property unless this is the way you acquired it. call the police and lodge a complaint. you pull a weapon you may die from a weapon. your behaviour should commensurate as a statesman. once a statesman always one. those who are obliged to call state names at the least opportunity have to be careful. i want to remind you it was not their own cause to insist sleeping with the angels. please God brought rawlings to serve his generation like david who is till today a patriach to the jews. rawlings is an elite and never took on individuals as the latter. he has always defended institutions and of course its leadership. this wisdom given to him by God has made him unique as God had wished. please dont touch God's anointed one and his political-militant ministry out cloak. you touch him, you talk evil of him , the extra urge may not be of your own choice like the gomoas sorry the sodomites could be from elsewhere. i hate comparaison, but every period in the history of a nation is always comparable. 20 years of dictatorship equals 20-year period to recover. take note of togo, liberia,libya, tunisia, and syria on the rank. not because we may not hear from mass media assumes all is well. learn bad news sell like hot cakes but not the opposite. western countries that are in deep worse recession have history of dictatorship like franco's spain, mussolini's italy with polished dictatorship under berlusconi others i dont want to go deep. i have come to remind you rawlings through wisdom from above has transformed the equivalent of chaos after his period of dictatorship into the benefit of democracy whereby you can always find the least oppurtunity to insult him. today ask a swiss tourist and his episode in an asian coubtry because of a word about a king. i am not defending afo but want to remind you of the sacrilege for allowing himself to be used by God. do you see his popularity and humble he is. this humility God has reserved for a few and wish you who come out to insult him for no reason to take note. ask God who is not only able but enables (the uniqueness of God) to give you galatians 5 as your portion. the bible tells us that let those who have ears listen. hatred has never brought victory for herod because of hatred could not even eliminate his vowed over years craddle cum manger baby enemy.when you point fingure at history the four others may point at your present intergrity. stay blessed and as long as the history of a nation is concerned it is like a bridge some above and some beneath. amen

I want to remind once again about GHC2000 that Mr Tey of the Defence Military BNI collected from me. Tey gave me a new small pocket size pistol for GHc2000 and promised to give out its ammunition the next day but for the past one and a half years now have refused to give it out. All attempts to get the ammunition or my money back are in vain. Mr Tey claims he is a warrant officer as well as transport officer at Burma Camp BNI. He uses a blue painted motorbike at times to Dansoman anytime he attends party meetings. He speaks hauza and ewe languages. Mr warrant officer Tey and family will not know peacen becos I will go for money at Nogokpo.

"AWuku" you seem to be the only one who has posted something logical to address the issue at hand.

I don't think Gen (Rtd) Quainoo would seize land other than buy it legally. As you pointed out these hooligans in Accra are just taking advantage and intimidating and harrassing just anybody.

It is a dangerous phenomenon as you rightly point out, that should be curbed.
On one hand I sympathise with the man and on the other hand I think, it is good he has to go through what others have to go through so that he can add his voice to this unhealthy trend.

Land Laws must be looked at in Ghana. The problem is getting out of hand.

Again, I am reading between the lines and I am thinking about a totally different issue which may have given rise to this alleged incident. I am keeping my mind open. Just read the article carefully!

This should be sounding alarm bells to Afotey Agbo, Katamanso and the Nungua people for just taking people lands and registering to themseleve. This unscrupulous people have to know that what is not yours is not yours and there will be judge one day for the bad things that they are doing to people. I don't know if president Mahama does not know what Afotey Agbo is doing and the bad image is he is giving to the the NDC party. This man Afotey Agbo have to be investigated and put before court for the pain he is causing people.
