Who cares, the Sissalas still hail Rawlings as a saviour and vote for the P/NDC that overthrew him so he might not have worth to be President if his own folks support Rawlings and his murdering inferno party.

Being the only president of the 3rd Republic and kola chewing are the only things we can remember Limann. He set the pace about the ineffectiveness of our northern brothers to hold the office of the President. He was clueless and Mahama is replicating him. Mahama is only lucky because desperados and opportunists like Rawlings are no more in the military. Limann was fully aware that JJ was planning (thanks to PV Obeng and Mankoadze ferrying Gadhafi's ammunitions for JJ's gang) to overthrow him but did nothing because he needed a reliever from the post he never dreamt about. Besides the behind-the-scenes exploitation by Okutwer Bekoe and others who were in no mood to continue Dr. Nkrumah's good works, spoon-fed Limann did not understand why another human being complained about hunger. He was never in tune with the reality since he was a career diplomat and might not have tasted real hardship. He only woke up after being overthrown and JJ did not care for him as much as he is being accorded now. I stand to be corrected.

Quaff and kola chewing clouded Limann's brains whilst the CPP founder struggled with life in Guinea. Limann could have saved Dr. Nkrumah in his last days but never attempted that mercy mission.

I guess you posted this out of failed memory or ignorance! Dr. Kwame Nkrumah died long before Dr. Limann came to be president in 1979.

Nkrumah died 7 years before Limann came to power. How could have saved him. Get the facts right. Even Acheampong who overthrew Busia's government met Nkrumah as a dying man.

The time Nkrumah could have been saved was when Dr. Busia was in power. This was the time his cancer started and he needed to be at home but Busia's government refused to allow him into the country.

Where is the hate? You Ewes will never have supported another man and his party if he had overthrown Rawlings. The point is this, Do you think if Rawlings was Limann and Limann was Rawlings and had led a Sissala dominated Army to overthrow an Ewe civilian government, you NYEBROS would have supported somebody who overthrew an Ewe led government?

Dr Hilla Limann I believe did not chew cola nuts IN THE CASTEL as some people ascribed to him.I was in Ghana when this french scholer and a gentle man of the first order took office in Ghana as president:Even though I did not belong to his party I found it uncomfortsble for people who used the cola nuts issue as an albastrous or a joke to pull him down.Dr Vladimir Antwi Danso should not have brought this issue which is dead and gone with the president as a major point of discussion on this platform As a political analyst he must always find better topics which can teach the reading public

Dr. Limann was a stooge. Those who put him there manipulated him and even though he was a political scientist, he did not understand the politics of Ghana. Until you are a self made man with millions before you get into office, the hawks will call the shots. Why do you think Mahama is unable to act? Behaving just like Limann except we have decided against the gun else he would have been gone by now.

Can Rawlings tell the people of Ghana why he overthrew Limann? At least just one good reason will be enough. NONE! He was just wicked and power drunk and influenced by people like late Awonoor in his tribal agenda

Of course Tony Aiddo is an economist and a diplomat. So what is your problem. He is not a fake like your Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, who the whole world knows that he is a fake lawyer. You may hate or dislike Tony Aidoo but he has an authentic degree in economics and has recently been posted to the Netherlands to represent Ghana, You jealous and envious so, so and so! You just hate facts and the truth. Lies and hatred are part of the genes from your ancestor- NLM, UP, PP & NPP.

You a partially right. Tony Aidoo attended a socialist (socialism has collapsed though) economic school and came out with some paper but that alone does not make him an economist. There are proper economist who never went to school but are managing their businesses profitably. Not those types of economists that will make a foolish section of Ghanaians jubilant because they have contracted a high interest sovereign debt whereas countries like Korea, Singapore, Japan who give the sovereign credit do not have gold, timber, oil, cocoa, Akosombo dam which Ghana has because they use their God given brains well.
Diplomat, is that the way Dr. Liman a diplomat behaved like Tony Aidoo. The article is saying dr. Liman was a good listener, not a good Ineuter and shouter.
Hope you see the difference between NDC economist and diplomat and a real economist and a real diplomat

I think you're quite confused. So left to you all the traders at Makola market and the shoe shine boys and kayayee should be called economists because they manage their profitably!. Sir, a cocaine dealer is not an economist and a lecturer in theology a priest. Being a specialist does not mean that one knows all about the specialist area/subject.

Limann was far more educated than all Asante/Akan monkeys put together. Who are now the principal dog eaters. Bastards sired by northerners and the Moshie.

You think these Northerners don't deserve to marry or have babies with Asante women so if they do, then those people are bastards.

Ali, you have a low self-esteem and inferiority complex and I can understand your feeling because if my ancestors and my parents have been toilet carriers, I would have felt the same. You have my sympathies.

U hold a turkey male on female to have sex while turkey's enjoy u have the eggs to have of it. Rawlings allow him but kola nuts chewing & spitting on the floor of castle no no but JM good where do get money for these numerous projects boys keep crying but l & town hold would still vote for JM & NDC to win or loose than NPP's koshokor Akuffo Addo who take u through another 4yrs opposition. Watumi shd canvassing region to region on foot now as caddy still change the story.

The accusation of the late President of doing nothing but chewing cola was leveled against him by no any other person than the same ethno centric bigots today who insults Mahama and feel that they have the birth rights to rule Ghana and not a Northerner.

We thank God that majority of Ghanaians do not accept their divisive, bigotry and gutter politics. They should understand that you can only achieve power by humility, respect for the different cultures and traditions in this country of ours.
