    Poor Tamale people and all these sad Ghanaians, running after this man. Ghana had a Seven Year Secondary School System based on human growth and development.

    Then this semi-literate who failed his GCE O Levels came to des ...

    Kufour what have you done to the Country to recceive your degree as
    Rwlings nothing remarkable but left
    behind Looting spree.

  • Asem Beba Dabi 10 years ago

    It looks as if you are not current. Have you forgotten that Mr Kuffour used his share of the money he received with the Brazilian president at UST and Legon? Give praise where it deserve. Rawlings has done well so is Kuffour.

  • CORNEY 10 years ago

    Neizer, even the university in Winneba was established by Rawlings although the place was already a diploma awarding institution and 7 polytechnics out of the 10 we have in the country so he deserves more than only the UDS re ...

    Rawlings had more than enough and donating money that he did not work for but rather all Ghanaians worked to earned was not anything extraordinary

  • venom 10 years ago

    The debate rages on as to who deserves what and whether renaming the university after Rawlings is appropriate or not? Well, both the yes and the no's are right.Suffice to say every statesman has done something that deserves r ...

  • Wonda 10 years ago

    If the UDS is to be named after him, I think the KNUST Medical school should be named after Gen I.K. Acheampong for seeing to the establishment of the medical school. JJ's not using the money for himself is no achievement. Ho ...

    You're an idiot and a very dangerous individual. You are free to hate Rawlings but we won't allow you to tell bald face lies about the source of the money he donated to get UDS started. Wo ye nipa foo.

    At a good time the UDS would be renamed even if it is named after John Rawlings who may not even possess a basic Certificate from Achimota Secondary School. The statue would be pulled down one day like Sadam's statue in Iraq. ...
