    NDC is the reason why Ghana is fucked up, Limann could been the best Ghana president after Nkrumah but NDC denied him that opportunity

  • Ojah 1 year ago

    What were Limman's achievements? Being tossed around like a pancake on a grill by his own party which later metamorphosed into the present day NPP? He was a gentleman and a scholar beyond which not much can be said nor recogn ...

    You don't know nothing about Rawlings (PNDC time) so talk about Dr Limann if you remember anything at all.

    Not only Dr Liman documents were destroyed. Lots of other prominent Ghanaians were also affected. The whole GBC archives were burnt. Which affected Films and Documentaries.

    Those who are shouting and disturbing Ghanaians about the country being up were them who had done the most atrocities to this Country.

    Really! Did Rawlings burn any records? Limann came from obscurity to lead Ghanaians for a couple of years and left after a coup, was a royal at Gwolu for a couple of years and died... It is very strange when people try to ma ...

    Nobody said Rawlings burnt Limann’s documents or records. But that the records were burnt. Record burning was no secret. No mention of names has been made.

    There are indeed lots of misinformation, wrongful crediting of p ...

    Precisely , he came from obscurity because he was brought in by Krobo Edusei to be the stand in for Imoro Egala.

    Dr. Limann was busy drinking Bu bra and filled his cabinet with people who didn't know their left and right. Tell us one thing your father did that deserves his honour.

    Not true. Limann was a good man, that's all. He was certainly never presidential material. In fact he was placed there just like how akuffo addo wants to place bawumiar there. Let the old man rest in peace young lady.

  • OHENE-BEDIAKO Sikapo 1 year ago

    Don Don, I think you have to refrain your statement and come back. We talking about our past president and not just anybody we can easily destroy.

  • Nimbabuoruu Yelfaare 1 year ago

    Don Don
    We do not speak this way in public. Limann imported the Tata Buses, at a time public transport system had broken down in Ghana.

  • Titus 1 year ago

    You are right. The man was a drunk , no doubt . He was also the stand in guy for Imoro Egala so let Limanns daughter stop gloating.

  • Paa Willie Amponsah, Takoradi 1 year ago

    Limann was the President of the 3rd Republic.
    When his regime was toppled on December 31st, 1981, his govt had the majority in Parliament.
    Parliament then was made of the Nkrumaists (cpp background) and the UP traditional ...
