What did boakye djan and the man fcking rawlings do for Ghana. They destroyed businesses on the basis that people are corrupt without any evidence. They killed the Generals because they were corrupt without any evidence yet we know rawlings gave huge state enterprises to his wife, gave prime cantoment lands to his wife. As for that one no can see but rather the ones which does not exist is the one people can see. Lebanese arabs use to fck fine boy rawlings and when he came to power started fcking boys himself. Original lgbt man. Nothing to write home about. As for Boakye djan Fck him . Rawlings too , where is he now. They say someone killed him. It would be very nice if that is the ugly truth. I would have said bravo monkey A. You did well. I hope it was a painful death

You are either young or not born when the soldiers under the SMC1 and SMC 2 started amassing wealth. Go to the Airport Residential Area and Cantonments and Labone and ask how these soldiers made me to put up the houses at the time. Their salaries was public knowledge, not much. Once they got appointed as managing directors and Commissioners they just stole. Not different from what it is today. Read Mike Oquayes book on June 4th and you would appreciate the problem at the time. Many young people like you confuse June 4th with 3st Dec because like two movies with the same protagonist you take both as the same. Why did the professional bodies fight the soldiers in power through 1977 to 1978 leading to the ultimate June 4th. It is a pity there were the executions. Even before the June 4th coup, Acheampong had dismissed his CDS, General Okai and Air Vice Marshall Beausloeli for corruption. The SMC was know as Supreme Money Choppers. Acheampong feared the student movement to the extent NUGS put pressure on him not to allow the US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to visit Ghana. Because of Acheampong's corrupt administration NUGS had a hold on it

Peter. I met some of them and I know what they own. Acheampong has a three bed house in the asantie region. Amedume took 50k loan to build his house. Most of them had humble abodes and none of them have 10% of rawlings wealth. People like you make insinuations without even pointing out what which of the SMC stole. Tell us he stole this. He owns this. Rawlings he stole Nsawam lands and cannery and all our 50 cedi notes. Be specific like that. Star hotel land . The ugly bitch went to court to fight for ownership so we know it's true. Why can't you see that

What do you mean? Did those fools account for their clench-fist rule? Do you know anything about PNDC account number 48, how much was deposited into that account and who were the signatories to that account? If they were honest, why did they accept money and leave the country?

If you overthrew an elected government, you are nothing more than a frail looking coward who runs away from his own shadow.

Boakye touts himself as "Osahene" and what OSA did he lead Ghana to? Tweakai. Breaking into jail and releasing a convicted felon, does not make one "Osahene". Osahene is some who leads troops etc in battle.

Boakye is nothing but a fool.

Very sad indeed. It is a evidently clear that no matter how one lives his life, once dead, people would sing praises of you. Should Mahama become the president of Ghana again, would he wish for a character like Boakye Djan to surface and emulate BD? What is wrong is wrong just like someone who stole the Bible to spread the good news! We don't celebrate such a man; he's not a good example.

At the forecourts of the state house? Who says military coins are not rewarding? Will a major of the Ghana armed forces get a funeral service at the forecourts of the state house. We must be careful what we celebrate. For we would have been asking for more of it. Major Boakye-Djang should never have been treated any differently from a major of the Ghana armed forces. It sends the wrong message.
