When I hear persons of no proven pedigree of moral uprightness, I feel like throwing out. Look at this shameless opportunist calling others names! I believe some of Rawlings' indiscipline included his inability to discipline his libido and condescended to have sex with his maid servant. Shameless sex dog!!!! Just when all of us are expecting to hear things that will bring us together, this disgraced professor, typical of the dog that he is will come and defeacate in the open much to the inconvenience of all.

Both Revolutions of June 1979 & Dec 1981 opened people's eyes to the rot and stalemate that had characterised every facet of Ghanaian society. To quote one contributor to this forum though, JJR failed to change Ghanaians so the rot still continues.
indeed the Professor is also right in stating that he left the society with indiscipline.
The PDC's and WDC's and the graduates from the Cuba training/indoctrination programme.

We have a very big task of getting the next generation to think positively and NOT let factionalism cloud their judgement.
We can do it without the older generation who have created this mess!!!

HE TURNED JUNIOR OFFICERS AGAINST THEIR SUPERIORS; HE PUT AK47 ASSAULT RIFLES IN THE HANDS OF VAGABONDS WHO PARADED AS CADRES OF HIS REVOLUTION BUT WHO TURNED OUT TO BE THE PIONEERS OF ARMED ROBBERY; AND HE TAUGHT BY EXAMPLE THAT WOMEN COULD BE STRIPPED NAKED AND FLOGGED IN PUBLIC.

I'm not surprised at all. Aren't you an Ewe? Yes, who doesn't know that you Ewes are sick of tribal bigotry? You all stink, and you're all evil because of what trokosi has caused in your lives. When Ewes like your bastard 'father', JJ is criticized for his brutish, animalistic acts, acts of atrocities and indecency, stripping women stark naked and opening their inner legs to the public, murdering three High Court Judges in cold blood, among other unthinkable acts during the AFRC/PNDC era, you don't want to hear it. So you resort to insults and name-calling, especially if the person is of an Akan decent. Werethose judges he killed not Akans? What would you be saying if they were Ewes? That, it's right, it's okay? We all know that Prof Akosa's words are true to the core. Ghana is what it is today because of JJ's notorious, unwarranted, infamous overthrow of Limann's constitutionally elected govt? And yet what do we see today? This unrepented Fool goes about raving and ranting, calling everybody else, except himself, corrupt. So you 'Kwasia' Efo Kossi Korve, call Akosa names, but you can go to hell if you want. Think rather about developing your poor region, Volta Region. If you had one of Akosa's kind in your family, you and that poor family would be better off. Stupid fool!

Every single day there is a Ghanaian intellectual trying to put Ghana's problem on one of our past leaders from Nkrumah, to Acheampong, Afrifa, Rawlings, KU4, Mills, Mahama and the list continues.

I only have one question for Prof Akosah and those like minded folks like him. Is there any sinlge succefuly managed African nation or predominantly balck society in the world? Absolutely Non! And dont tell me Swaziland wher over 30% of the population is HIV whiles the king has over 100 wives and the list continues.

All predominat black nations or societies managed blacks in the world are in chaos. And the problem has to do with evolution. The African is the least evolved of all the human species. You see natural resoureces do not develop a society, its human ingenuity, creativity, and the ablity to have vision, all of which the black man lacks and it goes back to issues of low IQ.

Africa as a continent is not the problem, the problem is the people that inhabit the continent. Nkrumah came back from America and was filled with anger for the white man due to the open racism he ws exposed to and came back demanding for them to leave and that the black man was capapble.

Truthfully the black man was neither capapble nor ready. Through emotions we kicked them out only to discover our shortcomings including how to manage basic things as sanitation. Infact everything the black man has managed has collapsed.

When it comes to leadership the black man is also at the bottom of the list. Then worse of all for us we have an education system that is based on "chew, pour, pass, and forget" system. A system that does not teach any problem solving skills or analytical skills. How then do you expeect such a society to be progressive? It aint going to happen folks.

The only soultion is we need to invite the white man back, That was the only way the Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, and the rest of Asians learnt from them. We need to work side by side with them till we get it by working hard before demanding for them to leave. And also the educated masses need to work much harder than what they currently do, go to work at 110, read news papers all day and leave by 3pm.

You can never build a successful society this way, no pastor nor imam can either help you, its only through hard work.

Thank You

@Jah Man and all those beating their "black" selves to death. Yes there are a few BLACK States that are well run and prosperous and the best of them is Barbados. This is an island nation with no natural resources that came out of slavery and has managed to govern themselves and build a prosperous society.

The solution was EDUCATION. Educating themselves to the highest levels possible in Science, Agriculture, Finance and Business.

When we speak of the HUMAN RESOURCE being a nations most valuable then one must focus financial resources on developing that HUMAN RESOURCE. This brothers and sisters of Ghana informed Nana Akuffo-Addo's "free" SHS program. I hope that John Mahama and the NDC in their belated U-turn are serious about UNIVERSAL EDUCATION in Ghana that also includes the QUALITY of said education.

Less money on useless showy projects and blotted non-productive civil service.

JJ "opportunist" Rawlings came to power by a group of illiterate soldiers who did not know their rignt from left and handed him the power. He ruled Ghana for twenty years to rid the country of bribery and corruption, thus he killed Afrifa, Acheampong and others. But he is the most corrupt and insane person in Ghana and sold all the industries to his wife and cronies, looted all with E.T. Mensah, Atoo Ahwoi and the rest from AFRC, PNDC and NDC. The reason we are suffering today. Take the stupid Kotoka statue from the airport and change the name to Accra International airport. What did Kotoka and Afrifa do for the country? USA/CIA paid them $50,000.00 to overthrow a legitimate government.

American, European, Indian, and chinese investors control more than 70% of their economies. And also those nations are heavily dependent on tourism with a very tiny population that isnt even entirely black. Most of them are Mullatos.

Jah: Your observation is right about the Caribbean countries -- you will also notice that those countries that do not have independence have a far better economy and standard of living than those with independence. During the US crises a lot of hotels closed down, so for those Caribbean countries the adage that “America sneezes the whole catches a cold” really holds true for them because of their heavy dependence on Western investments and tourism.

With a name like jahman i thought u would have been aware of some of the root causes of some of our problems.when Nkrumah went to the US,he would have been aware and seen it for himself that the whiteman is not better than the blackman. the same with those ex servicemen who fought during the world war with their fellow whites realised that the obruni is not better but actually inferior in a lot of ways that is why we had some of them fighting for you and me to gain our independence and self respect at the cost of their lives.
The whiteman invented propaganda before the ndc.their plan was to make the blackman feel he cant do anything without their help. The current global economy which they control has been designed to suit them. politically they still control most of our leaders and the progressive ones like Nkrumah,Maurice Bishop and lamumba are overthrow so that the likes of mobutu,rawlings and mahama can rule us and carry all our money to them.
Despite all this,a lot african countries are gradually building a strong economy and society and before they can do anything to stop it, it will be too late. Read a lot and keep an open mind and dont let anyone make you believe you are useless and hopeless. What you wrote is disgraceful my brother but if it were to be the truth I will have no problem with it but it could not further from the truth. Even our little country provided some of the mathematicians they used to get to the moon,Latimer,an American nigger made the first phone even though they claim it was bell,dont believe the hype rasta

I think you should do your research well. The main root of problems is education. A well educated society breed few criminals, because everyone knows or will what's happening. Secondly, I am sick and tired with people always saying Singapore, South korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong etc are now in front. The history is; The west pumped a lot of money from the 60's through80's all in the name to win them from the so called USSR, cold war etc. And today, the result is what the are reaping . Africa only need an education and we are off. Do you know how many professors, researchers, highly educated Africans living and contributing to the western world ? so don't tell me its low IQ. The white man wants you to believe that and yes they've succeeded since you believe in this.
If you've sat in the universities of western world, then you will know how much money they've been pumping into education, research, finance, health and sports. SO please if you have low IQ, ok not every African. GOOD DAY

Rawlings took a gun for his own selfish gains. A hungry man who believed every hard working ghanaian was a thief. Outwardly, he portrayed a socialist who had come to 'bridge the gap between the rich and the poor'. But on the inside, he was a lazy selfish individual who envied the success of others. He was successful in creating a chaotic environment,or made the masses to believe he had emerged as one of them to lead them into prosperity. Look at him today! the boys that followed him are in government now, and he called them greedy bastards. Really? Rawlings has created political monsters, who have no love for the country but are in to loot and share. This is what your stupid revolution and mediocrity of a government has done to Ghana.

Who built the unioversity of Developmenbt Studies with the money given him in Japan??
Who built the rest of the 7 polytechnics???
Who introduced the JSS to enable the poor but brilliant to also see education which was becoming just a grammar education favouring only the rich as the cocoa marketiing scholarship wqas not reaching out to everyone!! Who transformed Accra into a modern city when in the times of Busia, Acheampong, they used corn husks to cover many areas of Accra, not forgetting Sukula and Nima!!
Shame unto the enemies of the people!! JJ Rawlings legacy is mightier than any feeble and infinitesimal nomenclature of persons to veer his achievements on the altar of hatred and parochialism!! Leave JJ alone!! Posterity will absolve him and not you these kokoase products!!!

As ever predictable-the beneficiaries have responded by singling out JJ's achievement. Who invited JJ to overthrow a legitimately elected government? Any government, led by a vacuous and self seeking person like JJ,would be credited with some kind of development over a 19 year period so please spare us this undeserving projection of his skewed achievements.
His legacy remains poorly tainted in every aspect. Wake up because JJ is a hypocrite of the highest order; clothed in duplicity on all fronts!!

JJ has no moral right to talk the way he talks now. He sowed the seed of indiscipline. JJ started the sale of Nkrumah's enterprises and sold over 300 of the 400 enterprises Nkrumah left for us. In fact he sold one (i.e the Nsawam Cannery) to his wife Nana Konadu Agyemang-Rawlings. So how dare him open his mouth to moralise about probity, integrity and accountability?

Dear Prof Akosa, it is prudent that you keep reminding us of this great injustice that has been handed down to Ghanians for close to 30yrs under AFRC/PNDC/NDC; RAwlings alone for 20 yrs. Show me the progressive strides that we made for all those years, Zilch,Zero nothing to show for it; except murder., corruption, propaganda and deception. In my mind Rawlings is the worst thing that ever happened to Ghana. We witnessed a period where state assets were pilfered for himself, his family and his NDC cronies. They continue to do it today by bankrupting a state bank, merchant bank by looting it only to turn around and buy it for pennies. It is an organised orcherstration and disingeneous scheme to be economic overlords in Ghana. Today almost everything that generates revenue is owned by an NDC party member. A lot of these blokes came into politics as renters. In a few years, they amass a fleet of expensive cars and a string of houses. So you tell me, the propagandist slogan "probity and accountability" branded by J J Rawlings was hollow and empty. We as a nation has been conned and ripped off by J J Rawlings and his NDC apparachit. And the deception continues. The fragmantation of this nation is around the corner. We cannot be ruled by fools who serve only their interest and not that of the nation.

The other time it was 'Ghana is an apology and now it is indiscipline left by Rawlings as a legacy. Where was he during the reign of President Rawlings? He probably should reorient himself with the modern way of thinking and read modern books to contrast with the outmoded once that lifted him to a Doctoral level.
If I may ask; what legacy did Kuffuor leave? He should speak to that as well and stop the empty noise.

It is unfortunate that everybody in a way ought to be blamed for our woes. I wonder if this Akosa lived in Ghana those days before Rawlings came into power.

Was that man Prof Akosa of low mentality in other areas outside his field of studies aware of the real situations in Ghana in 1977--1979? Why even did Kufour join Rawlings in his 1981 second coming, because Kufour realised that Rawlings had a good vision, and a real one indeeded for Ghana. Still where was Akosa, that he kept mute, and had today come out with a mind only to find faults with past leaders, especially the one he hates most-Rawlings?

Rawlings did much good things for Ghana, even though not all could agree with him, but I see political and tribal hatred flowing through the chin of Akosa and that is why he is wild towards Rawlings and the NDC.

The political platform is there so just start with clean campaign and convince the people of what you can do for Ghana. If you can better, remember it does mean comdenming people of this and that could bring the expected change.

The major problem in the world, and not only in Ghana today is that people are stubborn, rude, disrespectful and uncontrollable. This is not a thing that Rawlings caused or brought into Ghanaian system. When Nkrumah was overthrown by the Americans was the day that Ghana dived into the water and everything started dismantling. Were you aware of that frustrated Akosa? Shame unto you?!!!!

Akosa, you are educated in your area of studies and I will give you credit for that, but apart from that you are a waste since your mind is full of saw dust. Why are you not condenming the USA till today but you have turned to the person who came in to help bring sanity THAT TIME in our system. Anybody can argue but the facts were there that time of 1977-1979--1981

You are a big hypocrate full of jealousy. What happened when Nkrumah was overthrown? Was it not breaking down of certain government and CPP properties, burning of Nkrumah books or anything pertaining to Nkrumah destroyed was the order of the day? Nkrumah statue was destroyed with children urinating on it. What impression was that creatnig and having on the people for future actions and reactions?

That time was described as euphoric but in real terms it was destructive and disaster for our people's minds since the minds of every person including children were made to have no respect to anything of government and of the CPP. It is even this that had caused CPP to be disliked and misunderstood by every voter in Ghana. In short our problem was introduced into our minds/system by the Americans and snake under grass British people.

You are silly and a fool for nothing professor/politician who is onesided, myopic, selfish full of political fallacies due to inferriority complex and hatred. Stop this evil talks and come out clean so that God will help you to have the desired chance.

The narcissistic Rawlings has no true self. Abandoned by his Scottish father, he suffered from severe separation anxiety as a young child and as a defense developed a falsely grandiose psychological shell surrounding an essentially empty core. He is desperately focused on preserving his image, because he relies upon external support for a lack of internal structures.
Individuals LIKE RAWLINGS with narcissistic personality disorder generally believe that the world revolves around them. This condition is characterized by a lack of ability to empathize with others(eg. his callous remarks to the BBC after Prez Mills' death) and a desire to keep the focus on themselves at all times(he loves media attention and will do everything to get one, – SUCH AS GATE CRASHING A BIRTHDAY PARTY TO COURT ATTENTION - he does not want to leave the political scene - his appearance at the NDC congress in Kumasi notwithstanding his being sidelined by the Ahwois, Tsikatas, Kofi Awoonor, HIS U-TURN IN SAYING THE NDC WILL WIN 2012 AFTER SAYING THEY WILL LOSE).
Narcissistic Personality Disorder involves arrogant behavior, a lack of empathy for other people, and a need for admiration(he loves the hero worshipping and superstar status)-all of which must be consistently evident at work and in relationships. People who are narcissistic are frequently described as cocky, self-centered, manipulative, and demanding(wanted to dictate to Kuffour, Mills and now Mahama) . Narcissists may concentrate on unlikely personal outcomes (e.g., fame) and may be convinced that they deserve special treatment. Related Personality Disorders: Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic. Narcissism is a less extreme version of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Narcissism involves cockiness, manipulativeness, selfishness, power motives(constant coup detats), and vanity-a love of mirrors. Related personality traits include: Psychopathy, Machiavellianism.
Narcissists tend to have high self-esteem. However, narcissism is not the same thing as self-esteem; people who have high self-esteem are often humble, whereas narcissists rarely are. It was once thought that narcissists have high self-esteem on the surface, but deep down they are insecure. However, the latest evidence indicates that narcissists are actually secure or grandiose at both levels. Onlookers may infer that insecurity is there because narcissists tend to be defensive when their self-esteem is threatened (e.g., being ridiculed); narcissists can be aggressive(beating Arkaah and slapping his ministers). The sometimes dangerous lifestyle may more generally reflect sensation-seeking or impulsivity (e.g., risky sex, bold financial decisions, DRUG ABUSE, COUP DETATS, SUPPORTING DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES).

I think the indiscipline Prof Akosa describes existed long before president Rawlings came on the scene. In fact, I will argue that it started with president Nkrumah and has carried on unabated.
In any case, it is not too late to tackle these problems now. The government of the day whenever that day is must have policies to deal with the problem of corruption. The one overriding problem facing Ghana's development is corruption. Until it is tackled robustly Ghana will not make any progress forward. And corruption is not just politicians and their henchmen and women looting from national coffers bad as that is. It includes implementing policies that deliberately or inadvertently fuel corrupt practices. For example, very few people, if any at all, know of the rules and regulations as well as the processes governing clearing imported goods from our ports. The process of clearing goods from our ports is so convoluted and opaque it drives the sort of corruption that happens at our ports. How can this problem be eliminated? The government should implement very simple, clear and transparent guidelines to staff and clearing agents at our ports. Simplify the levy system and educate Ghanaians about the system. The government must bring forth legislation punitive enough to deter corruption at the ports. And above all, make the process less expensive. If the government implement these changes, importers would be happy to follow prescribed procedure and pay legitimate duty on their good. The government will earn more in revenue. The opposite is true as we are seeing now. Almost every importer goes to lengths to evade paying duty by engaging in corrupt practices and the revenue that should go to government ends up in the pockets of corrupt officials.

I think as far as governance is concerned less is more. More regulation and higher tariffs leads to more corruption and less revenue for national development.

This is for all the germ conscious folks that worry about using cold water to clean.

John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of Saskatchewan.
After spending a great evening chatting the night away, the next morning John’s grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast.
However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate, and questioned his grandfather asking, ‘Are these plates clean?’ His grandfather replied, ‘They’re as clean as cold water can get em. Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!’
For lunch the old man made hamburgers
Again, John was concerned about the plates, as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, ‘Are you sure these plates are clean?’ Without looking up the old man said, ‘I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don’t you fret, I don’t want to hear another word about it!’
Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby town and as he was leaving, his grandfather’s dog started to growl, and wouldn’t let him pass.
John yelled and said, ‘Grandfather, your dog won’t let me get to my car.’ Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV, the old man shouted! ‘Coldwater, go lay down now, yah hear me!’

It's really sad for we the youths of this country to have someone like Akosa being referred to as a professor. I wonder what he is trying to put across. No one should give people like Akosa the platform to publicly display this high level of ignorance because it's an insult to other professors and Ghanaians as a whole. This comments are slanderous in nature and should be condemned by every Ghanaian. We've come to far to set ourselves against each other. Our politicians like Akosa should show a sense of maturity and make comments that will unite us as one people with a common destiny. And to my Asante friends who often take advantage of opportunities such as this one to attack we the Ewes, in as much as I believe this is not the collective view of all Asantes, I want to remind you that you better accept this truth that God didn't create countries for any ethnic grouping.
