One of Ghana’s illustrious sons, Stanley Mensah Kodia, better known as Biliden Kod, who is a British soldier declared that he has a life outside the British Army.
Disclosing his other preoccupations aside being a soldier, he said: “I am the Chief Executive Officer of Westbuild Properties. I also engage myself on social media to motivate youths of Ghana; this effort has earned me the accolade ‘Youth President’.”
Biliden Kod, who is third of six children and the son of James Mensah Kodia, a Chief of Oyarifa town in the Greater Accra Region, joined the British Army in 2011, age 18, and had been deployed for overseas service in the Middle East countries of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

After nine years of service in the British Army, Biliden Kod is presently studying Operating Department Practice at Birmingham City University. If the hands of time can be turned back for him to start all over again, Biliden Kod avowed: “I would have contested as a member of parliament and acted as the voice of the youth of the Republic of Ghana in parliament.”
For someone who lived his life on the philosophy of honesty and loyalty, he found a role model in American billionaire and Microsoft founder, Bill Gates. “This is because of his philosophy and principle to life,” he affirmed.
Faced with family demands and work commitment, Biliden Kod affirmed that he strikes a balance between his work and personal life by setting priorities. “Weekdays are designated for work and weekends are meant for family and other related social engagements,” he submitted.
