Democracy is for CIVILISED societies. Unfortunately, the WEST expect Africa to follow it. It just cannot work.

What we need in Africa - for the foreseeable future is DICTATORSHIP - with human face. So many IDIOTS in positions of authority think DEMOCRACY is FREEDOM TO INSULT & TALK RUBBISH.

jj and all these foolish criminal ndc politicians again are trying to create a diversion and throw smoke screens in our eyes on the issue of corruption . our corruption is a different kind especially when is rooted in some minority group or tribe making war against the Akans so undermine the economy to push the Akans further into poverty and make them again massively pick up the passports and leave . Starting from the days of Nkrumah every minority ethnic group comes to power with the mentality of my time has come '' we go chop Ghana money some '' and do everything to ensure this . nkrumah using the old strategy of divide and rule , pit brother against brother divided the fanti speaking people into 2 regions , rawlings came and used the same methods to pit part of the fantis and ashantis against each other and now pepeni is [laying the same game of northerners against southerners and all non Akans against the Akans . Billions have been approved in parliament in the past few years and the monies disappeared meanwhile they shove down our throats stories of 3,5 million and rumours of CIA basically accusing Akans again of corruption as diversions to the real truth of the looting of those hiding behind the ndc party . our problem in a nutshell is hegemony tribalism and chauvinism and the evil fruits are corruption , destruction of the economy and treacherous enmity between brothers . with out the unification of all the potentials and peoples of the land there can be no progress or development leading to industrialization and real meaning well paying jobs for our children no matter the natural resources . that is also the the problem of the Arab world who will forever remain trapped in a quasi feudal society , we Akans choose a different path and will most surely secede as there is no other alternative , long live the republic of Akan

Mr. Rawlings, are you a saint? It is better for you to keep quiet and enjoy your retirement at the expense of the tax payer.

…...Sometimes he goes too far and it becomes very difficult; what he said does not carry any weight and so we will just let it go”.

IN OTHER WORDS HE HAS LOST CREDIBILITY AND PEOPLE DON'T TAKE HIM SERIOUS, ANY MORE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE STILL COMMANDS MASSIVE SUPPORT, FROM SECTIONS OF THE POPULATION.

I don't normally agree with Alfred, but I think, on this occasion, you have removed your political cap.

You will be very impertinent and conceited if you easily jumped from rags to riches like Mr.JJ did. Don't be fooled by thinking he's not aware that Mr.K4 did a whole lot of good things for Ghana.No one one has ever made it alone, even great leaders all over the world have their promblems ever now and then.
I am yet to hear Mr Bush insulting Pres. Obama, or Mr Obama doing likewise to Mr George Bush.
This is what most people are, they easily forget who they were and also those who truly made it available for them to become what they are today - and that, without their toil and endeavour they would've been absolutely nothing. He is only gradually creating enemies for his children I'm afraid, and it'll be impossibily for any of Mr.JJ's children or grand children to rule Ghana in the near future, despite THE TWO POLITICAL PARTIES THEY HAVE CLEVERLY FORMED.
If the great Dr.Nkrumah's children are not getting it easy in Ghana politics I doubt if any of Mr.JJ children'll be able to make it with his primitive style reasoning.
In his old age, the paunchy old grandpa should learn to unite the nation, and should also put a stop to his divide and rule tactics.GHANA DESERVES BETTER THAN THAT.

the guy is simply dumb,How could a reasonable human being refused to comment on the corruption going on in Mahamas regime and talk of K4s.. After asll the money he stole, assessts he has in Swiss and UK and S. Africa, how could he accuse someone. Now he is protecting Mahama bcos that is what they came to do. NDC 1 members are all multi millionaires in Ghana. PV Obeng, Tsatsu Tsikatas, Ato Ahois, Rawlings, Totobi Kwarkyes, name them. Are they not millionaires now. How did they make their millions? VIKILEAK, has Rawlings said anything Now NDC 2 is making millions remember VIKILEAK and you don't hear any NDC 1 member saying foko. What had now happened to Rawlings boom talk. Atta Mills was an honest person blocking NDC thievery, hence Rawlings boom talk, Now John Mahama is supervising the raping on our resources and we don't hear any boom talk A POT CALLING A KETTLE BLACK

I am wondering how J. J. Rawlings could have moral courage to point at President Kufuor. He killed people for ostensively committing economic crimes against the country. Yet, he and his wife stole so much, to the point of selling to themselves state properties. Nsawam Canaries is a perfect example. While the Rawlingses closed down Universities they educated their children in Foreign Universities. Who was paying their school fees? This man deserves to be tried in a kangaroo court just as he set up under his dictatorship and be shot just as he shot people at firing squads. He began these tribal animosities that are currently going on in the country. He targeted Akans and instigated non Akan speaking tribes against them. Ghanaians will rise above that united and see ourselves as one people regardless from which region one comes from. J.J. Rawlings is a traitor since he has undermined the peaceful existence of all Ghanaians, and infused the country with tribal sentiments. I do not think that he assumes Ghanaians are so stupid to not understand what he is trying to do. Shame unto You J.J.Rawlings!
