Our concern should be about our poor quality of life not a military. Education and decent housing for all should be our top priority and not military might or expensive funerals

But am not surprised bcos our military has not bin tested before, apart from military coup's we have had nd the peace keeping our military usually go. We have never experienced any war or a civil war, dat often shaped nd strengthen military might of any nation. Ghana has bin relatively peacefully in the last 36yrs. So our priority as nation may not focused on building our military as we relate peaceful wit our neighbours ivory coast, Togo nd Burkina Faso. All dos countries on top are either battling internal or external aggression in one way or the other. But dat das not mean we shld not invest more in our military .

We may not have the best weaponry but there is no doubt that when it comes to Manpower, Strategy & Tactics, our soldiers are some of the best on the face of the earth.

Although we have not had any wars to fight, thankfully, our soldiers have proven their mettle in war situations all over the world. From Burma, Congo, Serbia, Cambodia, Somalia, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, our soldiers have stood tall. Let be proud of them.

Untested, warless and lawless military. What do they do other than making coups and beating up civilians - and now, the police. What is the measure of their strength?

You got it right. Nigeria was thinking just as you are now thinking -oh,we don't need to buy weapons; we are a peaceful country with peaceful neighbours and lo, enemies came from within -Boko Haram. Investment in the military is investment in the future. Should anything ugly happen, Ghana should not be caught unaware.
