The NDC has its roots in JJ Rawlings, therefore, the NDC has its origins from a coup. The NDC is forced to be Democratic, democracy is not in the veins of the NDC party. Train a child the way and old will not depart.

MAAME ABENA, YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS AT ALL!

Your party which was not from a coup is now in power right? It is led by a so-called human rights lawyer, who is ruling the country as if we are in the jungle. Will you say that what Ghanaians are going through now is democracy? Your guess is as good as mine for no one points his left hand at his father's cottage.

Please, please stop defending Rawlings, he is a murderer even in his grave. He instigated the atrocities of the June 4th days and aftermath. He is a criminal full stop.

So is Kufuor who orchestrated the killing of Ya Naa and his 40 henchmen. And what did those who dance with the bones of the Ya Naa say? "Shut up or we reveal the plot!"

To Anokye Frempong, some of us were old enough to understand anything that took place under JJ. Today, can the president be absolved from anything that will happen under his administration?

All the killings that took place under JJ was authorized by him because he was the leader of that useless group.

The buck always stops with the leader of the pack. Rawlings was the leader at that time, therefore the buck stops with him forever.

J.J. RAWLINGS DID NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG BY EXECUTING THOSE LEADERS OF GHANA. THOSE LEADERS WERE RUNNING GHANA AS IS THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTIES. DO GHANAIANS REMEMBER AN ERA IN THE ADMINISTRATION WHERE THERE WAS A SLOGAN AS, "FA WO TO BEGYE GOLF(VW GOLF CAR." THOSE LEADERS WERE HAVING SEX WITH YOUNG GIRLS AND GIFTING THEM WITH GOLF CARS, WHILE WE THE ORDINARY CITIZENS WERE QUEUING AT CHOP-BARS TO BUY FOOD TO EAT; WE HAD TO QUEUE AT KWAME NKRUMAH CIRCLE TO BUY KENKEY IN THE EVENING; WE HAD TO QUEUE AT "TRO-TRO" STATIONS TO BOARD THE TRUCKS; ETC. AND THOSE LEADERS DIDN'T CARE ABOUT US, THE CITIZENS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
I WISHED THOSE LEADERS, ACHEAMPONG, AFRIFA, GEN. AKUFFO AND THE OTHERS ARE BROUGHT BACK TO EARTH AND EXECUTED AGAIN. GOOD JOB DONE BY J.J. !!!

How many people were killed under Efo Jeremiah John Rawlings? We’re some people not killed at the church for having church service at hours meant for Community Service? Despite his supposed fearlessness, Efo Jeremiah John Rawlings was killed by the Covid virus. And Boakye Djan also died recently.

Be careful for what you wish for. Standing in a queue to buy kenkey has been with us since Adam was a school boy and will continue with us forever. What is wrong with that? Is that a reason for somebody to be executed? I can believe this is what you harbour.

This is sheer envy. Then what should have happened in 1983 when there was hunger and had to queue for unboiled kenkey?

You are possessed with an inferiority complex.

Certainly you need deliverance for your thoughts.

Mr Anokye that is your view and it is a wrong view you hold. Rawlings was the leader of the AFRC and responsible for whatever happened under that regime.Rawlings should even have been arrested,charged with treason and executed for illegally overthrowing the democratically elected government of Dr Hilla Limann. Rawlings was the leader of the murderous AFRC regime.

A confused history. Acheampong's government was overthrown by the SMC2 but he was killed by the AFRC. If you doubt this ask Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings and she will confess. Now Mr. historian who signed the execution warrant? Please do not open wounds which God has helped us healed. Please discuss more development oriented history topic or apply Job 13:5, period!

Rawlings was just a church rat, a hungry lion who came with gun to rape mother Ghana with his Ayigbe fools who are liabilities to the country. Let forget the thief and move forward and also get raid of his NDC legacy.
