And you think the coup makers will not deplete our national coffers??? Look at people like Kabila, Eyadema and the likes. At least now we can talk about it and ultimately register our displeasure at the ballot box. What do you think is the primary cause of all the woes in Africa? If you think things are bad in Ghana at the moment then a coup will make it worse. A better and more democratic option, in case you don't want to sit down unconcerned, is to opt for a massive civil demonstration accross the whole country to send a strong message to the governing body that the good people of Ghana are indeed not happy with them.

If any bull jokes we would capitalise on that and seize all the assets and cars driven by these lazy parliamentarians and the NPP looting brigade. They will cough the ex-gratia and we(soldiers) will revert all the lands looted during Kufour's regime to the state. Try anything stupid and NPP will be the loosers.

Almost all civil wars in Africa started with a coup. Here are some of the list: Nigeria War, Liberia War, Ivory Coast War, Sierra Leone War, Congo war, Ethiopian War, the Rwanda War etc. Ghana has just been lucky in the past but not in the future. Those from the south of Ghana (especially the Akans) who think the northerners will welcome a coup without a fight should think again. You can't remove Limann and Mahama before completion of their term, but allow Rawlings, Kuffour, and even Mills to complete their term. Whether competent or not, Mahama has the right to complete his 4 yr term as mandated by the constitution. Ghanaians will fight any coup maker head on. Our coward days are over - when we allowed few secondary school level soldier sergeants with guns to hijack the country.

Inspite of the fact that Ghana for the first time in 15 years has had a continuous practice of democratic governance and immensely benefited from it, Dr Tony Aidoo is virtually calling for a coup d'etat.
Dr Aidoo, a former Deputy Defence Minister in the erstwhile National Democratic Congress (NDC) government headed by J.J Rawlings made the call on Radio Gold’s "Alhaji and Alhaji show," a current affairs programme last Saturday.
"Conditions have been created today that will justify ten coups d’etat, conditions have been created that will justify ten coup d'etat and over," charged Dr Aidoo belligerently.
According to him, inspite of the fact that Ghanaians had pledged "that we don't want change of government through the barrel of the gun but rather through the ballot box doesn't mean that we must tolerate an incompetent government that came to rule rather than administer our resources in our interest."
He railed against the ruling New Patriotic Party government, headed by President J.A Kufuor, accusing it of arrogance and inefficiency in all spheres including policy making and administration.
According to him, the Government had been bankrupt of ideas in managing and appropriating energy for the country's use. He maintained that he and others of like mind would hit the streets should the government ask for increase in energy tariffs.
He said: "The moment they announce tariff increases we will hit the streets. We are tired of paying for the inefficiencies of this government, for the extravagance of this government, for the corruption of this government, we are tired.”
He placed the current energy crisis at the doorstep of President Kufuor, saying that the President was not bothered about the common man's need for electricity.
"Do you think President Kufuor gives a damn about you common people," Dr Aidoo spurted, adding "He doesn't care whether you have light or not because he wants the light for himself."
Dr Aidoo: "Listen, he is talking about paying more tariffs, 'toofiakwa yen tua'. Why should we pay for increased tariffs?"
According to him, the Government had been insensitive to the plight of Ghanaians and would never, because of the element of intellectual bigotry apologise to Ghanaians whenever it erred, especially in relation to the current crisis.
He said intellectual bigotry had led the NPP government to ignore advice from experts "from persons who know nothing.".
Comparing his boss, ex-President Rawlings to Kufuor, Dr Aidoo said the former had been more proactive and desirous of solving and preventing national tragedies.
He cited the example of the ex-President's tendency to wade in flood waters as not "because he was making showmanship, it was genuine concern."
Dr Aidoo added that when the energy crisis struck in 1998, Rawlings called two emergency high powered cabinet meetings to which persons known to be affiliated to the NPP but at the time held strategic positions in the energy sector were invited.
He castigated the government for inefficiency, saying since 2005 the nation had been losing ¢700 billion a year.

Sit down unconcerned you said? If you reaaly were concerned you wouldnt make such outrageous statement. You part of the selfish, lazy culture.
Vaviato, you think the soldiers will come and not touch our coffers. I can assure you that the considering the overall governance, the WORST performance of President John D Mahama will be far better than the BEST performance ...

WE DONT ENDORSE A COUP DETA EVENTHOUGH MAHAMA IS PERFORMING VERY BADLY. LET GHANAIANS KICK HIM OUT THROUGH THE COURTS OR THUMB.
He must condemn the coup against Nkrumah as well because it did not bring the needed or assumed progress in Ghana.
LOOK AT THIS NYAHO-TAMAKLOE CROOK.

True my brother, people don't know This man. He is saying this to protect his illgotten gains because if there should be anything like coup in Ghana, he will be a target.
In the first place, Soldiers aren't politicians. Secondly, they are meant to defend the country against outside forces and thirdly, they aren't meant to rule and are restricted to the barracks and not the Flag staff House. An ...

He said "coups in the past could be rationalized but same cannot happen now".This is the most senseless statement of the 21st Century.Nyaho Tamakloe,put on your thinking cap.
Inspite of the fact that Ghana for the first time in 15 years has had a continuous practice of democratic governance and immensely benefited from it, Dr Tony Aidoo is virtually calling for a coup d'etat.

Tony Aidoo called for ten coups in 2007 against the Kuffour administration. So why is the NDC running scared when Budu Koomson calls for one coup?
TRAVEL TO USA,AUSTRALIA,EUROPE AND SOUTH AFRICA.INTERESTED PEOPLE SHALL CALL WILLIE ON 0249318847 FOR FURTHER INFO. THANKS
Those calling for a coup can go to hell and leave the rest of us alone. Ghana save Ghana.
Don't you know during a coup it is the rich who suffer most just try it.
..."We saw it happen to Limann, we saw it happen to Busia and we all know how the story ended”, Dr Nyaho Tamakloe warned".
WHAT ABOUT KWAME NKRUMAH?? YOU DID NOT SEE IT HAPPEN TO HIM, RIGHT? WHAT A FOOL.....
I won't be surprised with such trash talk coming from NPP officials, the NDC sooner than latter will resort to assassinating these goons one by one!
Only fools, morons and kids would call for a coup. The problems we face in the country at the moment could be attributed to all of the senseless coups by the military.The most useless of them all was Rawlings. Ghana militar ...
