    Whether John. Jerry or Rawlings he was the longest serving head of state in Ghana. No one posses the charisma he had. As a man born by a woman JJ has finished his assignment on earth and has departed.

    I don’t think we need to burden ourselves with the deaths of Konadu and Efo Julor Jeremiah Rawlings? Who cares about them now? His evil deeds and atrocities make people that he offended go crazy when his name is mentioned. ...

    That was when someone in thr GAF decided that "John" is NOT a surname and changed his name unilaterally to Jerry John Rawlings. Just like that and the rest is history!

  • Kwaku Tee 1 month ago

    If GAF had done a diligent work, that was a nice opportunity to have disqualified him.Subsequent events proved that Jerry John's character was incompatible with the army ..Bastards shd not be accepted in the military.

  • NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH 1 month ago

    His enlistment was a protocol enlistment so there was no need for any due diligence. The man didn't have even two O Level passes to his nane, just like William Kweku Akuffo Addo who became his best friend and Brutus in his tw ...

    Afrifa attended Adisadel College and was even congratulated by Kwame Nkrumah during a Speech and Prize Giving Day at Cape Coast. There is a picture to that effect. At least he had the GCE “O” Level that was needed to get ...

    Realistically, his maiden name "Rawlings", sounds most appropriate to be considered a surname than the "john". Its actually the europeans, who have the culture or attitude of using any name as their surname. Africans or black ...
