Simply put, he has no brains. He been warned by both Bature and Tony Aidoo to desist attacking the government or risk being exposed for certain truths being made public that Ghana will hate him. He has no balls to challenge them so he's attacking from the side-lines.

And the people in the north want to name a whole national university after this murderer for donating $50,000 which he later on replaced it from the national coffers. I don't know if UDS trains murderers, coup makers, and mercineries ( TALIBAN UNIVERSITY) to make them name their university after this foolish and murderous JJ. BE WISE PEOPLE FROM THE NORTH we don't need talibans in Ghana.

I recently read an eye witness account of the execution of Afrifa, Akuffo, Boakye, Felli.Kotei and Amedume and it brought chill and pain to my soul. These executions by Rawlings and his posse were totally unjust and uncalled for. And for this murderer, Rawlings, to talk about Justice is actually an insult to the families of these brave men and countless others he killed in the name of his faux revolution.

Ghanaians are cowards for allowing such a low life sociopath to rule over them. I am glad I did not have to live through his shit. He should not be given any platform to keep taunting the families of those he murdered.

How do you seek justice when the murderer is protected by a constitution? A so-called democratic constitution that gives protection to some one and thus deprive others of seeking justice is never a democratic constitution.

A very good piece but one misconception you reated; that there are two royal gates entangled in the Bawku conflict. Let the writer do little checks next time to avoid what he is accussing JJ for.In fact, problem in Bawku is between two tribes and not two royal gates. JJ shld be told in the face that he must stop massaging the people's ego and relying on their emotions to stay relevant in national affairs when there are other avenues he could implore.

JJ Rawlings, Stop Inciting “Chieftaincy Tension” In Bawku!

Otchere Darko

Re: Former President Jerry Rawlings says this is the time for the people of Bawku to demand justice on the death of the Ya Na, as the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will not be in power forever. [Extracted from Ghanaweb General News of Monday, 30 December 2013 Captioned “Demand justice on Ya Na’s death – Rawlings” Source: citifmonline.com]
...................................................................................................................................................

The “boom-boom” utterances of JJ Rawlings have become so frequent and so destructive that he should be told clearly and NOW that he is not the right person to keep accusing people of wrong doing. Hiding under the banner of “coups” or “revolutions” to kill people does not make such killing right. One would expect “big-mouthed Rawlings” who has many times been tagged as “murderer” by several Ghanaians to feel ashamed, if not fearful of his past, rather than for this lucky untried “murderer” to always portray himself as “Mr Right”, “Mr Clean” and “Mr Perfect”.

Rawlings has openly been accused of ordering, or engineering several murders that took place in Ghana in the nineteen seventies and eighties, including the brutal murder of the three High Court judges. Fearing probable and possible retaliation for his brutality during the AFRC and PNDC eras, JJ Rawlings forced the drafters of the 1992 Constitution to put in clauses that prevented all future Ghanaian governments from investigating his crimes and punishing him. Having protected himself from criminal investigation and punishment, this “cowardly” former military man (JJ Rawlings), who fears facing justice, constantly incites others to “demand justice”.

JJ Rawlings, if you believe in justice, why don’t you ask the government to remove the “Indemnity Clauses” from the 1992 Constitution and allow Ghanaians whose fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends were killed by you to demand justice?

JJ Rawlings, learn and learn fast that it is dangerous to throw stones when you live in a glass house. JJ Rawlings, know also that when you throw a stone at a wall, it subsequently bounce back towards you (the thrower). People with dirty hands must not go to equity, and this includes YOU, JJ Rawlings.

Akans have a proverb that says “opanyin nntra fie emma asedua emmfo”, which translates literally into English as an “elderly person does not stay home and watch [unconcerned] while beans being dried in the sun by a neighbour get soaked in the rain”. If JJ Rawlings wants to be seen as an elder statesman, and one who must be respected by all Ghanaians, then he must act like one and know how to talk when he goes to “conflict areas” in Ghana. Our brothers and sisters in Bawku from the two royal gates who are caught up and entangled in the long outstanding Bawku chieftaincy dispute should be assisted in a most reconciliatory way to find lasting peace. Knocking the heads of one faction against the heads of the other faction is not the best way to promote peace in Bawku. Worst of all, saying that “the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will not be in power forever”, is a clear politicisation of the Bawku conflict. It is a shame that no less a person than former President Rawlings, who is expected to show “statesmanship”, should talk so ‘loosely’ in a place where Ghanaians seek peace.

JJ Rawlings is one of the people who recently eulogised Mr Nelson Mandela during his funeral. The best tribute Rawlings can give this South African icon and one of Africa’s best sons is to follow his shining examples. “POURING PETROL ON FIRE” IN A CONFLICT AREA IS NOT PART OF WHAT MR NELSON MANDELA TAUGHT THE WORLD.

Ghanaians are either fools or timid and JJ knows this. aaaaaahe JJ has taken this stance and the strategy has worked well for him. No one has been able to front this man and the best some one came to challenging him was the late Prof Mills who blatantly ignored him and which sent the guy parking. We dont have any to confront him so my advice...ignore him as the late Prof did and that should fix him.

Why did they even invite Rawlings to the peaceful Samanpid celebration. Why this murderer who wants nothing but conflict in Ghana. I suspect Rawlings even has a hand in the killing of the Yaanaa.
