    You can hate the man all you want but prove what he said was wrong. How many times have you Akadu not written about pen thieves in Ghana and particularly under the NDC govt? So what is the difference b/n what Jerry said and w ...

  • Akadu Mensema 10 years ago

    Sir, I will indulge you for now and would only ask that you read the poem carefully to retune your perspectives on the poem! The key is holier than thou! I never said that what Rawlings said borders on untruth! In so few word ...

    U are right if u say Rawlings is playing the "holier than thou" attitude but when u asked Chief to "retune" his perspectives on the poem, do you mean like he should join you in pouring all those unsubstantiated accusations on ...

    Akadu, what does "Eternal servant" mean? Is is the "eternal" that's mesmerizing or obfuscating, or confusing - whichever meaning you derived from the expression? Otherwise, I would implore you to rethink, I mean, critically w ...

    Akadu is always railing and howling at JJ but from a politically partisan viewpoint. That is what makes his outrage hollow and he is not able to convince those who don't think like him.

    Which politician in Ghana does not ...

    Sad . Ph.D? And this is the trash of an unscientific piece you can choose to hide under the deceptive bliss of poetic outbursts? Sure Rawlings could have been more modest by admitting to his shortcomings. But just read what y ...

    for once I agree with Akadu, a murderer who usurp his day of reckoning should not be running around running his mouth..he needs to be extradited to the ICC...he is a bigot who feels the blood of his truant father makes him wi ...

    EXCELLENT POEM. KEEP IT UP AKADU.

  • Kakaminamor 10 years ago

    You jealous the guy. You don't have what it takes to be bold. You cowards who were hiding in your caves and forests when the call was for real men to speak up.

    real men faced their accusers at the Truth Commission in South Africa..They had strength of conviction and did not hide behind indemnity clauses. Rawlings is a coward and a thief that is why he is hiding behind the indemnity ...

    Wow! I don't know what to say. This piece seems to be a spicy in your face kind of expression of the combined duration of ex-president Rawlings's time as the leader of the country.

  • Allan Buggi 10 years ago

    Some of these guys posting comments here did not even understand the poem. Please, go back and read for the second or third time, think about it for a second before commenting. Akadu congrats for a poem well written!

  • Atsu Xorgli 10 years ago

    Akadu you deserve crucifixion. Rawlings have no friends and does not pamper anyone. Pls we dont need
    this judas who is not even part of the desciples of JJ.

  • Think right 10 years ago

    I agree with you 1000%. you have said it all. The man thinks he has done no wrong; killer of judges including a woman. He must continue enjoying his wife. Judgement day awaits him. Good peom.

    Can you prove to me that June 4 was not necessary, given the rot and misuse of political power during the Liman administration? Have you seen how much corruption was Mills sitting on and refused to investigate and even fire h ...

    WHEN I SAW THE NAME OF THE AUTHOR AKADU NTIRIWA MENSEMA, I IMMEDIATELY KNEW IT WAS ONE OF THOSE DUMB BRAINLESS GHANAIAN AKAN TWERPS INTOXICATED BY PAPER QUALIFICATIONS.

    I first saw Rawlings at Legon in 1980 when he came to give a speech at the auditorium. He spoke for about an hour and he did not make sense. Up to now he is the worst person ever to lead Ghana. He killed people like rats. His ...

    I agree that Rawlings has re-invented himself as a Latter day saint.The poem is so apt in describing this conman who killed people for having 50,000 Cedis in their bank account.Innocent people dumped in the sea for not comply ...
