Shame unto Rawlings. Today he is telling the world it is good to stage a coup de tat. Someone who could not pay for his yokegari bills now have money to take the two boxers to Brazil. The people he killed, whipped in public and punished in diverse forms because they were better of than he was are today justified. Rawlings will go the way the three judges went.

Are u right knee the head? How many ppl does jj know all over the world.where ks jj' endlwmnt fund or non profit? Learn from what former world leaders are doing. How difficult. Will it be to crate an endlwmnt fund know jj' name. Use it to solicit funds from prominent ppl and use it to help the less fortunate? Huh?..Mandela, Clinton, Trudeau, mulroney, bush, thatcher, mayor etc they all do this. Does jj really care about the future children of gh? After 19 yrs know power, how much would u hve stolen from gh?

He should really start to give back to the families of those Judges and the families of those Generals he killed at least to compensate them for that mishap because for now the killings can never be justified and never be forgotten.Now he and his family have all the millions telling the whole world that it is great to stage a coup because that is how you get rich quick because we those who are old enough saw how poor he came and started killing the rich people but now he is even richer with all kinds of booties.He came to the limelight by the gun and just used folks such as Boakye Djan,Adjei Boadi etc.only to dump them at last.Anyway eh has relised nobody takes the riches to his grave just look at PV Obeng he is going naked,look at his bossom friend Gaddafi he went naked.He should just sit down with his wife Konadu and think through their crimes on earth.Life is short just get all the accolades on earth but that is all vanity.They should even look at their pictures from 1979 and compare to today that even tells volumes.They should compare their strengths from 1979 and see if it is the same that also tells volumes.How often can he even sex with his wife as compared to 1979 all these tell volumes how life is short.We struggle to get all kinds of accolades on this planet earth but at the end it is all vanity.It is about time they pray for God's forgiveness because very soon they shall depart this earth just as PV,Mills etc.Thanks.

Someone should keep this evil man away from the players. Mark my words, he will very likely try and gain access to the changing rooms and visit them and go on one of his over-inflated ego trips; trying to pep talk the team, "Ghana expects this and that of you" (Of course, "ghana", meaning 'I') taking over the job of the coach, being a general pain in the ass. He's a mad man. Keep him away from the players at all costs. He will demotivate them, and they will lose. Mark my words.
