Ghana film industry should come up with a movie that capture all the event from Nkruma to post Jerry John Rawlings. Most importantly, decision should be taken about June 4th as public holiday, it's relevance and otherwise
I am a Nigerian in 1982/83,in ilorin Kwara state seeing Ghana youths students of higher institutions, come in droves I cried for God interventions on this great giant star of Africa, JJ May not be a Saint nor is, Ghana and African leaders should learn from the mistakes never again shall such reckless selfishness be allowed, even though the political Elites are proving us wrong with the western allays. God help Africa.
yes i was a student then and mistakenly supported the coup which was not of rawlings' making ...but to the core he was just an opportunist who seized on the ghanaian/african neocolonial fear of anything close to european and he built on it with his fake hollywood slang... yes from the outside it looked attracted .. but focus on Thomas Sankara not rawlings in fact there is a suspicion that rawlings' people were very sympathetic to the elimination of Sankara... Note I am not a fan of the current government in ghana who pretend to be against rawlings... infact rawlings and these people are really close
@@asaasare220also a student demo into mokola you couldn't be soo right ❤💯👍, some are walking with those scare till date, children grew up without their fathers, many became single mom's to survive on their own and unspeakable crimes that went on, just for a single person Rawlings and his own selfish interest on resources, I'm not with these current administration either, soon no one will ever be able to walk freely and the place call home won't be home, the worse in the pipeline people just don't know about.
Watching this now brings my attention to what rev Palmer Buckler told me personally about Rawlings, due to his hatred for him he was on the panel, God in heaven save Ghana
Such a mad dog and a confident liar. Another animal ewe! The Rev Palmer Buckle was an integral member and panel on the commission throughout their proceedings. He was there when all witnesses appeared and not rawlings alone.
I have never seen anyone lie with such confidence! He basically didn't answer any question! May all those he murdered rest in peace! Vengeance belongs to God!
How do you know he was lying? If you knew the truth why didn’t you appear before the commission. I have listened to several people and not a single one of them has provided any material evidence to buttress their claim. It’s impossible to tell who is telling the truth.
@@dawudaiman5366 that's where our problems begin my brother. We fail to question authorities and this doesn't happen in the western world. I am an NDC sympathizer, but i believe even the abduction and the killing of the judges and the retired military officer case was to be opened and properly investigated and tried
Every successful country including the US has gone through a revolution before. However, conspiracy theories who claim all kinds of lies about Rawlings couldn’t present any evidence to the NRC Kuffour set up against Jerry. They forgot that Kuffour also served in the PNDC. Where were they when Kuffuor’s regime murdered Yaa Naa and 40 of his sub-chiefs with Isaah Mobillah(PNC chairman) and Roko Frimpong(GCB) manager who were strong critics of Kuffour without a culprit? Where were they when series of prominent people, including MPs, were murdered under Akuffo Addo? Where were they when seven people were gunned down during the 2020 election by security officers including the one on trial from Akuffo Addo’s office?
@@lincolnwikipedia4218 Is there any revolution without military involvement? To seize power by any means is a coup. It doesn't matter whether you called it a coup or revolution.
@@pastorbrightamegazo9231 revolution means when citizens overthrow the government example american colonies. Coup is when the military overthrow the government Big difference hope you now understand it
@@lincolnwikipedia4218 Have you asked why he did the coup d'etat? When you steal from the public purse, you need to be killed and I think Rawlings did so well to them. He should have killed more than that including the stupid akofool gyimieni Addo who calls himself a president today!
U people lives with haters and selfishness u people are the problems of Ghana u people never say the truth ur histories are not even clear always blaming others
When Rawlings took power I was 14 years old, l saw a lot of his Governing until 1993 When l left Ghana for Abroad, infact, a lot of things went wrong, thing got out of hand and, am happy we had an opportunity to interview him . He should admit He did a lot of wrong to us!
@@spashdad read the history. It was less than five weeks to democratic elections in 1979 when he staged the May 15th coup. Who knows, we might have enjoyed democratic rule from 1979 if he had not greedily attempt the coup. No one knows why he did that. The country was stable till he decided to stage a coup. Democratic rule was established in September after the June 4 1979. Only for him to stage another coup on December 31st 1981. Why did he do that?
Was Giwah a Saint? Didn't he kill innocent soldiers and prison guards in the process of his 1983 coup? Are those Giwah's victims also not Ghanaians belonging to families?
Our constitution says if anyone ILLIGALLY overthrows a constitutionally elected government the people can also use any means necessary to overthrow that ILLIGALL government (PNDC) in order to restore the constitution. So Giwa and co were on the right path to take power from those armed robbers called PNDC and reinstall our constitution.
Musician Adomako Nyamekye said on Andy TV that Rawlings ordered the killing of 'coup plotters' Cpl. Halidu Giwa & Sarkodie at the Air Force station. They were dismembered & their bodies left for vultures. The victims were themselves wild . The response was horrible, by today's Human rights standards. Thanks to democratic & human rights activists, Ghana is rid of a regime of terror.
😍the more I listen to the late Jerry John Rawlings, the more I develop love for him . 🙏Messiah Ghanaians will always remember You 👉 I have now come to my sense that whatever lies the society cooked for you was to their mission to tarnish your image😢 🙏MaY you R.I.P Soldier.
Gambian TRRC also was base on one sided story and lies with hate lead my Essa Fall and a x coupe leader. How do you expect justice when justice is not served
JA kuffour should also give us an account on how Ya Naa was killed? Shame on the Ashanti's and the npp, we are waiting on akufo addo to tell us about how JB was murdere? Sexy dondo mentioned his name and Ken agyapon
A man who murdered and/or sought to murder fellow soldiers who freed him from prison. That is not a good human being.I remember listening to his announcement live on radio, our house was a five minute walk from broadcasting and we could hear the gunfire. As for Giwa, he was one tough SOB, a truly hard man. He should not have returned after the attempted coup though. Should have made his way abroad like some of the others. Unfortunately too brave for his own good.
I think you people don't know what is millitary government so you can say anything you even now see what NPP are you doing come out and speak your mind fools ashanties
This where the enemosity between JJ Rawlings and JA Rawlings. After, listening to Adebuga, Adomako Nyamekye , Effah Nkrabiah Darteh etc felt so pained how people were killed without a reason. In 2023, you're also gone , meaning everyone would die .
as i don't know why people are not listening to these soldiers who brought him to power. They are simply saying he deceived them and he's a lair and nobody is listening to them. I've come to accept that Rawling is not the good person he portrayed himself to be.
VERY VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE THIS ON RECORDS THAT SUCH A MAN AS JJ RAWLINGS IN WHOSE NAME MANY ATROCITIES WERE CARRIED OUT VIA HIS MILITIA, CRONIES ETC. WAS INTERVIEWED. NEVER SHOULD GHANA 🇬🇭 AND AFRICA 🌍 HAIL MILITARY COUP PLOTTERS, FOR THEY ARE WORSE IN CORRUPTION THAN ANY IMAGINARY PERSON.
Commot for there with that foolish analysis. Who told you civilian presidential tyrants don’t kill people ? How many people have been killed right now under your present administration?
@@sadatsalifu9701 because we inherited the british constitution which initially does not colify him to be president but at that point he managed to change the constitution to make him stand for president . Secondly he commited treason which in our constitution makes him an outlaw. So from that point he becomes an ilegal person. He was able to do so because he had the gun.
@@jameshanson5561 there were several constitutions adopted by ghana including 1957, 1969, and 1979, 1992 among them. some of these constitutions were illegally adopted( without referendum). so by themselves are not even biding. the first attempted coup of Rawlings was to overthrow a military government. according to the constitution anyone who succeeds in overthrowing the constitution is to be rewarded(in the sense that an overthrown constitution can neither punish or rewards. this implicitly means a rewards.). it's only treasonous if the person fails. Rawlings failed and this is why you think he committed treason. sadly for you, you have forgotten he was overthrowing an illegitimate government(military) and constitution. that is his responsibility and duty according to our national anthem and pledge which is to resist such governments and constitutions. you can not accuse him of treason for overthrowing an illegitimate constitution. the moment he returned governance to a civilian government he was absolved from any wrong doing. now, you may talk about his second coup d'etat. since it was successful, it's not treasonous. my dear, the law is very funny.
@@jnash158 the law is not funny we just don't want to apply them .Rawlings knew he could be judged that is why he brought in the indemnite clause. I can't find the video today if not i will post cause when he was interviewed, he said if he does not annexe the indemnite clause, he will be hangging himself. We call this natural injustice. Ghana is a failed nation.
I've realized that only those whose parents or grand parents benefited from that corrupt and wicked govt before Rawlings revolution are the ones lamenting because as far as I'm concerned, Rawlings made Ghana what it is today, he is a true revolutionist.
a what ? it was just a replacement of one group of thieves with another... rawlings was a micronationalists ... after the northerners helped him get into power he proceeded to surround himself with his mother's people... I am aware nkrumah was not forgiven by the people of the volta region for dividing their area ... one side in togo for eyadema to suppress them but that is politics no reason for his mothers people bring in a reign of terror.. no neither me or my people benefited from the pre rawlings regimes...
And to those who are complaining about my dad, mum, uncle etc suffered. It is rather unfortunate, however some of them also stole from the state including over hyping of prices.
@@arkohgeorge9136 Do you think it is only your dad or mother who suffered? Guy keep your mouth shhs. Do you know what happened to people during Afrifa, Kotoka and Ankrah overthrow of Nkrumah in the 1966. For the judges you are talking about do you think they are saints or what. Don't be hypocrite. Note that in every revolution there are excesses. JJ was a military man what about Akufo Addo. Do you think the young men and women who died in Tachiman deserve to die under democracy? What do you say about that. Don't be hypocrite. Read about Ghana's history before you hate one man. If you reply 10x I shall come for you 100x. Hypocrite.
@@jesuslambofgod2024 come for me 1billion ttimes...and justify killings of fellow human beings fool...their blood awaits the killers if you were one...fool ...you think human beings are goats to be killed and justified...keep defending rawlings who is dead and facing eternity....instead of thinking about yours you are here defending nonsense....demon like u

@@arkohgeorge9136 Aboaa if you don't care why are bleeding. Ashiwo paaaa. I will make you cry blood ofui. If all killing is killing then you should have condemned all coup ploters not speak ill of one man. You are insane and not fit for purpose. Ofui why are you crying.
The legacy that will live down in history. The stomach politicians will do everything to tarnish your name but you will forever, be held in high esteem by true citizens. May the heroes live forever in our hearts. @Dr. Kwame Nkrumah @Jerry John Rawlings @John Evans Atta Mils may your legacies live forever. If we could have people of these kinds today, my eyes wouldn't see the shit I'm seeing from today's 'stomach politicians'
Well, where is Rawlings? The evil that man do.......; Rawlings suffered more than those he butchered. Per his own confession for many years he couldn't sleep. Thus he died a slow death. There are many of his accomplices alive today who wish for death but I pray they live longer. Those they killed died momentarily!
