    Stop instigating.
    Don't harangue the army.

    We've already been there several times and came out with nothing.

    Allow the people to vote out crooks.
    Only fools do not learn from experience.
    Stop the condescension.

    No matter what the failings of successive govenrments in Ghana are, the conceptb of soldiers returning to power via a coup de tat in the country is backward, irresponsible and uncalled for.

    It is anachronistic to think of coup in Ghana. Is he hallucinating? Even his some members of his opposition party would not welcome coup in Ghana. Coup is an anathema and anachronistic in today's democratic world.

    Coup will be bad for Ghana, but don't rule out that it will get popular support judging from the hardships and corruption going on these days. Nobody thought there could be Arab Springs but they happened.

    "Winner Takes it All" democractic approach deprives the nation of great talents from both sides of the political divide.
