  JJ Rawlings,Kojo ( only God knows where he got the Kojo from) Tsikata,and the Ewes were paid or hired to destroy Ghana.After killing over 40,000 Akans,30,000 of who were Asahantis,these Ewes from Benin and Togo destroyed the educational system,turned back all progress in Ghana,killed and destroyed all Akan businessmen and their businesses.The Ewes dismembered GIHOC,the national hotels,Black Star Line (where are the ships),Ghana Airways,STC,Sate housing schemes,etc,etc,.They killed all the Akan Heros and worship Kwasi(where did he get the Kwasi from?)Kotoka.The Ewes looted the national treasury.There was no Revolution in Ghana but destruction of Akans,national achievements,stealing of our diamonds,Gold.It was ethnic cleansing of Akans and not a Revolution.They turned the clock back.They scrapped and erased all progress in Ghana.Akans should rise up and fight this CANCER called EWE.One day it will happen. There will be a lot of blood shed but eventually Akans will succeed.INSHA ALLAH !

  Ghanaians suffer from 'holier than thou mentality' Rawlings did good and bad at the same time like any human being. It is only God who judges. Let sleeping dogs lie. We need peace in Ghana. Whether Rawlings writes his memoirs or not, it is entirely up to him or his close associates. I am not Ewe but I should warn that we should stop playing the tribal card always. Kufuor, Mahama, and Rawlings are all very guilty of playing the tribal card. Nkrumah was an exception. Let us learn from Castro, Nelson Mandela, and Nkrumah and move on. Two wrongs do not make a right. First fool is not a fool. Second fool is a fool. Even a fool can teach us lessons to correct future mistakes.

  Are u a civilize educated person? Remember it was the junior rank of armed forces who plot the coup, not Rawlings and the Ewes, have u forgotten Captain Boakye Djan who is an akan? Don't u know that he was the key member of the coup. Even ur the former President Kuffour was a member in the pndc for 8months was he an Ewes. Please know how to comments on issues, don't do tribal politics, ur past leaders did it but they failed.

  Nkrumah did not steal money because he never expected to be overthrown. He even foolishly thought his son was going to be head of state after him.

  i'm born and raised from ashanti region and from a royal family, it is not part of our upbringing to insult an elder person let alone a whole president.

  Papa Payin Oduro, if that is your real name, I want to ask you to honestly answer this question: "Who is the most popular human being in Ghana today? It is a fact that Papa J is the most popular person since you do not know it. Go to any function in Ghana today and let even President Mahama come and you will find that Papa J will draw the most fans.
  
  You complain that Papa J has not set up a foundation yet: that is true but has it occurred to you that all the documents including laptops where his life history had been drafted got burnt in that fire? I know it did not occur to you because had it, I will not be responding to your hollow article.
  
  Foundations cost money which Papa J does not have but Kuffour has and that is why he has set up his foundation already. You should know this unless you just arrived from the planet Pluto that the NPP government and some journalists did all investigations to ascertain that Papa J operates Offshore Accounts but came back empty. Why? Because he does not have such accounts. By the way, Kuffour has a lot of these bank accounts as revealed by the American lady who bore him twins in the US.
  
  Papa Payin Oduro, you also stated that he should just sit at home and NOT talk about anything which is happening in the country. I want to know if being a former President one has to keep quite and act as if he or she is no longer a Ghanaian.
  
  My answer to you is NO, a thousand times NO!!! As a responsible former President, he has to talk to give guidance to those ruling so that they will not make mistakes that he did. That is what is called "growing up". That is what is done all over the world by past rulers; oh, I forgot; you just arrived from Pluto.
  
  My advice to you is for you to get abreast into what pertains in the world today so that when you talk or write, you will NOT expose yourself as an ignorant .... I will leave it at that. I thank you.

  I think this write up is too harsh and disrespectful to a person such as Papa J. You will always have a problem with someone when you try to use others as a yardstick for him. Papa J has his own style. He lives his own life any a very unique way. Apart from his book that you are expecting, I think you have said nothing at all.
  
  You should not forget, that setting up a foundation or writing books are not a set of rules and regulations that ex presidents must follow.
  
  Leave Papa J alone.

Please start rehearsing for the final judgement which i know you do not believe in but death is a real thing which is going to get to you before you know it.your time of terror brutality unleashed on the Ghanaian people is coming to an end close.

  At the onset of PNDC rule, a Citizens' Vetting Committee was set up to probe into the bank accounts and assets of Ghanaians who had accumulated weath over c50,000 those days. The excess were seized.
  
  According to one Tapan Prisan Biswal in his/her book "Ghana: Political and Constitutional Developments", Page 202, this writer states that between February 1982 and November 1983, the Committee forfeited c166.3 million to the State. The c50,000+ money that were seized were part of this assessed c166 point something million.
  
  Question 1: How can we truly testify that the monies that were seized were actually saved into government chest and did not end up in people's pockets;
  
  QUESTION 2: Can Mr. Rawlings say today that he is not worth more than the value of the c50,000+ that were seized from Ghanaians those 1982 days?
  
  There are some questions surrounding Mr. Rawlings that have gone unanswered and a probity is needed.
