Those were the very sad sad days.Losing such talents as Odartey Wellington,,Admiral Amedume and others however,the one thing i liked about J.J. is the fact that he kept Ghana free and clean of hardened criminals. He got rid of armed robbery
Without JJR intervention Ghanaians will still be cleaning shoes in Nigeria. Many Ghanaians are ungrateful to JJ Rawlings who turned Ghana into a progressive state today. During such violent national change as Ghana passed through there must be collateral damages so Ghanaians should deal with it and count their blessings today, and also be grateful to JJ Rawlings for taking them out of the Libyan deserts, slavery, and from world slums. Ghana is purely better today because JJ Rawlings cleaned the country yesterday.
What JJ Rawlings did in Ghana those days that brought their freedom from slavery and oppression of the wicked leaders is just exactly what Nigeria need to do now for their own freedom from all these wicked politicians who have completely highjacked the affairs of the country just for their own interests and family alone.
@princeezeugo Until a JJ Rawlings or a vengeful Tunde Idiagbon comes into play in Nigeria, the evil politicians will continue to put their knees hard on Nigeria neck. Nigeria, the giant of Africa, now turned into the political shame of Africa
Rawlins didn't pass his promotional exams, he was incompetent according to one Major General. The killings of the Army Generals initiated by JJ and his juniors colleagues were senseless and barbaric. When you allow someone who couldn't pass his promotional exams and couldn't rise in ranks to lead a military then you're doomed. Sad day in Ghana history.
How old are you, sir. I was on vacation in Accra in June 1978 with my first girlfriend, who was a student in Paris at that time. Ghana I saw this evening coming off Ghana Airways will stay with me for the rest of my life. The idea l have of Ghana growing up in Conakry, Guinea, was far cry of what l saw. My girlfriend parents couldn't even find enough ingredients to make a birthday cake for 18 years. Ghana was a basket case politically, economically, and socially. What happened the year after in 1979 was not a surprise to me at all. Some young kids who are trying to rewrite history behind keyboards should better learn Ghana history before and after the betrayal of Dr. Nkrumah. Le Ghana était un pays miné par la corruption et la mauvaise gouvernance en 1979. Lost of life is always regrettable, but please go back to your history before and after 1966. Car, l'histoire des nations est toujours compliquée!
Whether JJ pass his exams or not was useless to us. He's bravery and concerned to get rid of some corrupt military men to make Ghana what it is today is far better than passing to that your so call exams. U people should give us a break. What Nana and his people are doing today isn't more than coup
You might enjoy these but this is politically motivated propaganda. He doesn’t even know the names of some of the officers l. He is narrating it like he was told the story by a child
@@RandiRandy . I said so because there’s NO video of the FINAL BATCH OF THE 6 Senior Officers who were executed on Tuesday, June 26, 1979. Go do your research and come back.🙏🏾
Election is coming soon so the jandam has started 😂 During Kuffuor's reconciliation, no one could bring any evidence or testify against JJ Rawlings the great man who has given us the democracy we enjoy today.
The person who led June 4th coup was Baah Achamfour at that time Rawlings was locked up in a cell and later released by coup plotters to make announcement. This is not known to a lot people. Rawlings was not part of June 4th coup plan.
I wonder why they keep on trolling JJR without considering all the good and productive initiatives he did. These people are happy to accept the fact that King David of the Bible was so Dearing to God's heart but they don't consider all the innocent people he killed including children and old people and even capture the remaining as slaves. Hypocrisy at the highest level
TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT "" JJ HAS RULE FOR FUCKING 19 TO 20 YEARS "" LOOK WHAT'S GOING ON FROM THIS THEFTS "" WE ARE NOT SINCERE "" AND THAT'S OUR DOWNFALL "" WE WILL NEVER EVER FORGET RAWLINGS AND NKRUMAH ""
Are you serious now, or you lack basic Ghanaian history? Never equate J. J Rawlings to Nkrumah, the only person who did continue the work Nkrumah was Gen. Acheampong
Yep.He used mostly the northerners and the Ewes as his notorious militiamen to intimidate, abuse and kill people.His wicked ideologies are still being implemented in his wicked NDC party.
Otwinoko, it'll be great if you interview Major Sulemana as hes still here . He's a great king in Tolon somewhere in the North. He's the man that arrested Rawlings on May 15th
Acheamong started as an other rank but eventually ended as a General . He promoted himself so why don't u talk about that? U people are enjoying Ghana today because of the bravery of JJ and u are here talking about certificate.masa give us a break. Do u know that NAna has killed mote than 3 million Generals
You know dead men don't talk. Otwinoko why didn't you interview JJ while he was alive to hear his side of the story? from the horses mouth? you are doing well but infact all media houses in this country couldnt do so. yall weak!
I bet you weren't born if there's HELL l hope he's there...wicked person after killing all the rich people before his death he was one of the richest people in Ghana his family are set for life
@@alexokoh4655 did you guys no what military rules , you guys have to be wise even now people die during election in techeman south till now akuffo addo says nothing and yet it's civilian rule p
Othertey parked his mowark after nima junction heading towards circle to deceive soldiers trucking him,so he walked by foot to nima police station to hide, when the trucking soldiers cast a glance of the mowark they knew Othertey was in police station, but he parked there to look like he was around circle.
The fact you think JJ was the richest or even of the richest people in Ghana means you are naive and listen to Kwaku Baako for all your news. What would you call Kufour who ruled for 8 years, Nana Addo is busy ripping Ghana to shreds yet you have hatred for a dead man
@@SAfonyez A man that killed his fellow men by accusing them for stealing from the state but ended up becoming the owner of the nation’s property ..you see nothing wrong with that? I don’t believe in any politician but those you mentioned never killed anyone for their wealth..come again
It was a spontaneous action by junior officers, just as Rawlings said in his announcement. It wasn't premeditated, calculated or planned. Soldiers were rebelling against their officers. But some few officers like Cpt Baah Achamfour were with the ranks on field fighting .. Boakye Gyan is also gone now. 3months ago. RIP Major Rida who was with major sulemana and the Army commander is gone last year, right after Rawlings. Major Sulemana is still alive. He's a great king in Tolon. I think he needs to be interviewed by otwinoko
No nation gained sovereignty and self dependent without was and sacrifices. Go back to history of the great and super power countries and you guys will understand
Masa military work is not about certificate or who passes exams or not, it's about bravery. Those who were promoted to major and above how come they never led Ghana. Rawlings was a good man , very bravery and intelligent
I didnt watch all the video yet im still watching but the caption, if you compare this suffering situation we are passing through with Akufo addo if a soldier stands... i know over 2 decades another blogger will come saying the soldier who saved the country as of now, will be tarnished bad and black... Some people are unique, they bring in their lives to save the masses but no matter what there will be losses. sometimes when you want to heal your wound you dont use cold water, you use hot water and it hurts. Stop painting JJ black all the time. if they hadnt messed the country i dont think he Woulda done that. secondly if he had died tryin, nobody will remember him. lets sometimes be grateful. you see what akufo addo dey do, make somebody rise, those days coups are blóody! not like these days mali and burkina or these recent coups arent bloõdy. i guess its evolution... stop tarnishing the mans name. atleast he may did us bad maybe but he has saved too. why are you not talking about that part?
Members of the smc had no good intention.i have listened to interviews of some past members.from all indications, the majority of their members were ashantes who were apportunist.
This footage isn't a Ghanaian firing range ... definitely not Teshie. Whoever posted it deceived the public. The picture looks more like "bar beach" Lagos Nigeria 🇳🇬
I wonder why he didn’t take the officers to Volta region to have them killed. Instead he spilled their blood at Teshie thereby causing the town to have a bad name.
Rawlings was an evil man who was jealous of the Generals. He wanted to be a General but he couldn't pass his military examination. He accused them of corruption but he and his wife became corrupt. I think Kotoka's name should be remove from our airport and Odartey Willington's name be put there. Or Nkrumah. We shouldn't honor murderers like Rawlings and his people. I wish Rawlings name will go away.
