    Everybody knows that Africans are treated badly in household arab countries. Why any African because of money will encourage and advertise this beats my mind.

    I was one of the many school children who lined up to welcome him and I am proud of that moment.

  • AYIGBE MAN 10 years ago

    MANDELA WAS ABLE TO FORGIVE THE WHITE OPPRESSORS TO UNITE THE NATION.THIS IS WHAT GHANAIAN POLITICIANS SHOULD LEARN TO STOP THAT FACTIONALISM THAT IS IMPEDING THE DEVELOPEMENT OF THE NATION.SHAME TO GHANA POLITICIANS.

    Ghanaians we don't appreciate our own.Dr. Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah is the wisest black leader ever lived.God should give Ghana another leader like Nkrumah.

  • GHFUO, be serious & change ur MENtali 10 years ago

    THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A REASON WHY MANDELA NEVER CAME BACK TO GH AFTER HIS INITIAL VISIT. I THINK HE WAS DISAPPOINTED IN WHAT HE SAW IN GH. NUFF SAID!

  • mugu1 10 years ago

    i repeat Ghanaians we don't appreciate our own.Dr. Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah is the wisest black leader ever lived.God should give Ghana another leader like Nkrumah.

  • Kofi Asiedu 10 years ago

    He is ranked side by side with our own Nkrumah.Though, I would also like to say there was Nkrumah long before Mandela.Nkrumah fought for the whole of Africa.

  • Opanin 10 years ago

  • Vodoo Xebieso 10 years ago

    Shut up. Rawlings ruled you and your stupid father for donkey years and you all knelt for him like the Israelites did to the Baals in the Bible. He wined and dined with the movers and shakers of the world while your stupid f ...

    That didn't forbid these same world leaders to spit on his dirty blood soaked body,whiles our fathers in games with the forest apes had the opportunity to appreciate the Hibiscus Flowers!

    Great man he made the world a better place. Rest peacefully in the arms of the good Lord

  • KKK 10 years ago

    I MEAN MANDELA WOULD NEVER ALLOW THE SALE OF MERCHANT BANK TO HIS CROONIES. HE WAS HONEST AND SELFLESS.

  • COULDN'T CHANGE HIM 10 years ago

    Mandela could not change Rawlings because Rawlings is the Devil incarnate. He has the blood of hundreds of Ghanaians on his hands, and the orphans he created will continue to cry him down the deepest pit of fire in Hell.

    Well said.

  • Kofi 10 years ago

    But that would have been offensive to the one he was supposed to have visited. If he had faced a black man's kangaroo court, he would have been sentenced to death. Don't forget Ghana's not too long ago history.

  • 007 James Bond 10 years ago

    Another stupid fool, only lies and stupid writing. Mandela came to Ghana in 1991 and Ghana became a democracy in 1992, what does that tell you? Mandela came to Ghana to thank Ghanaians for our support to their struggle for Fr ...

    ``Meeting Mandela at the airport was a Ghanaian delegation made up of PNDC executives who had shown great support to the apartheid regime over the years.''

  • G Clef 10 years ago

    It was either lack of focus or not clearly knowing what he wanted to put across.

    I was wondering about where the writer got that from. In Ghana, only Busia and his party affiliates who sang praises to the apartheid regime. ...

  • osei hwedie 10 years ago

    Mandela was an African Nationalist whereas Rawlings was a SPY for the CIA together with Nunoo_mensah. GOD will punish Rawlings for betraying AFRICA

    RIP MANDELA(hiding behind)dont forget Rawlings was killing his own fellow Ghanaians while Mandela was redeeming his people.

  • Joe Turkey 10 years ago

    Mandela did not get al the information about this murderer; he would never have come.

  • KB 10 years ago

    It is obvious from the picture that JJ had 'respec' aplenty' for Madiba.I like the picture.Those who had lined up could hardly look in Madiba's eyes.
    The aura was too bright for them(smile).

    Shame onto you PNDC?NDC with your murderer Rawlings looking on with his rude and shameful face.

  • Young Pioneer 10 years ago

    Mandela paid a visit to Ghana in honour of Nkrumah and the great help he had given all African freedom fighters. It was not about Rawlings!
