    Simple and straight forward, the host had no intention in obtaining the facts or any amount of truth from the get-go. Andy in all of his interviews on this particular matter was only interested in imposing all the damages on one man. It's easy to tell from this interview that he is filled with so much hatred and bitterness, and for that matter he tries as hard as he can to get his guests to dance to his tune of "Crucify Him" all in an attempt to discredit Rawlings alone or anyone who tries to call a spade a spade. Andy, clearly integrity deficiency is on your side, therefore I recommend you conduct some self assessment before your next guest shows up.

    The JJ Rawlings i grew knowing as president is a man to be praised by every Ghanaian today. His past just like most ours might not be beautiful but he stands for something valuable in Ghana. My sincere apologies to everyone who has suffered in one way or the other as a results of JJ's past but the fact still remains.... when we mention Ghana today, names like Nkrumah and Rawlings remain immortals.

      @@johnanwoh I think you don’t know what you’re talking about. Nkrumah was a great man, yes very great, and great indeed. But his one-party governance and dictatorship led to a state of fear and insecurity in Ghana. Brainwashed children were spying on their own parents without they (the children) knowing the consequences of what they were doing. People living in Ghana during those days were terrified all day long for fear of incarceration without being charged. Your friend, colleague at work, neighbour can report you to Nkrumah’s terrifying torture machinery and you’ll disappear one night. JJ Rawlings did the same to us in Ghana.
      Think of living under those conditions in where you’re now. Will you be happy? I hope you know the country called North Korea. Would you like to live there? That’s how Nkrumah was turning Ghana into. I rest my case.

    Andy sounds like he’s got personal scores to settle with Rawlings and wasn’t happy hearing something that goes against his perception of the man. But it was obvious at least to proper thinking people that Adomako Nyamekye and the rest wanted to overthrow him(Rawlings).
    If Andy were in the position of Rawlings, would he have allowed that happen?
    What he’s losing sight of is that, the rest didn’t have any VISION.
    Sorry about the lives that were lost and I personally think if all these people(Rawlings inclusive )can be fairly tried and found guilty then God...every single of them should pay for their sins.
    Lastly, if not for Rawlings’ vision the other parties and the democracy that’s given them the freedom to express themselves and put out their thoughts wouldn’t have been possible.
    GOD BLESS OUR HOMELAND GHANA AND MAKE OUR NATION GREAT AND STRONG.

    Andy, Rawlings did apologised in his last speech to parliament before handing over to President Kufour. These were his words; '...for the excesses committed during the PNDC era, I am sorry'. Please check.
    And please this your interviews of people who saw certain things during Ghana's recent history is very educative especially for some us who were young during the '79 revolution. But you need to be objective in your interviews. You seem to just gear your questions towards projecting Rawlings as a killer and demon. Allow each of your guests to say what their experiences and opinions are without forcing them to say otherwise. Your interviews are skewed compared to any other interviews I have seen. Please be more objective.

Firstly I admire what you doing in terms of the space your channel has created for political discussions, however your approach is a bit dualistic, and a more holistic approach will better engage your audience. Having grown up in South Labadi estates where Rawling had is formative years from childhood till he joined the airforce, though a few decades apart, I can identify with the environmental factors that shaped his way of thinking, outlook on life and yern for fairness which let to him taking action.

    Whenever the west doesn’t like u , then u must have been doing something good for your people. The biggest downfall of Ghana was the NLC Coup that overthrew Nkrumah. It changed our gusty and that if Africa for good. His idea of the one party state so he can work with all whether opposition or not would have been great , the whole country belong to one party and we all work hard to develop the country without depending on the west. But what happened? Our own selfish and greedy people who wanted to have all for themselves overthrew him on the pretense of making the country better , that’s the origin of our immature democracy . 64 years down the line what have we achieved as a nation ? Our country has become testing grounds for democracy and various military rule, serving as breeding grounds for politicians to come and loot for 8 years after which their successors come to do same . That’s the same cycle we are living with now. It has caused great division that politicians don’t thing Ghana first but their respective parties so no political party want to continue the works of their predecessors cos the praises will be for the previous parties should they complete their projects thus they leave it to go waste wasting the same money we borrowed for investment and thus leaving us highly indebted. Why can’t we as a nation have a one party state or a single plan for the nation regardless of which party is in power. We as a nation can make a long term plan and break them into 5 year blocks for completion and access how far we’ve reached after every 5 years and carry on with the next 5 year plan if the previous one is completed or finish it if not completed regardless of which party is in power.we the youth should rise up cos if we don’t do something this selfish partisan political cycle will continue till they ripe us of all our dreams. We Africans can only be accepted in our land so let develop it. We have to rise as a nation and a continent. The youth need to rise up. African will have the added advantage of having the most youthful population in all over the working some years to come if we don’t psych ourselves with the right mentality , we are bound to fail again. ✊🏿

    I like this program honestly, but it seems Andyd seems to take this very personal because he might have lost a loved one. But it was a military regime and its kill or be killed. If he Rawlings signed for his own nephew to be shot for shooting someone then I think he was for the people. Shit happens, it’s very difficult to kill a family member and if he did that then I guess he did it for his people. The others who spoke bad about Rawlings just wanted the gains, after all he stayed back in the country to rule and didn’t go on exile but rewrite his wrongs. Even now in Ghana people wear military uniforms to bully others and even the soldiers themselves bully people, we have bad nuts everywhere.

    Why didn't you ask the same question about winning independence for us? I think you have an agenda - an agenda to demonize people like Nkrumah and most especially, Rawlings.
    No matter what you say about Nkrumah, he is the best thing to have happened to this country. The man on your show is an Akyem man, judging by his name. He could say all manner of things to demonize Nkrumah, but he was very objective. Nkrumah became what you think he became because his own colleagues hated and envied him for no reason. If you were him, would you have sat aloof and unconcerned? For Rawlings, whatever your agenda for him is, he is still alive so you can take him on. Glad you are a lawyer.

    Many Ghanaians are so quick to criticize people. I listened to the whole interview, and the guest is not fake. Anyone who paid attention to the beginning of the interview would know that the guest explained quite clearly, that he was not in the ghana army prior to 1982/83. Because Andy was not paying attention to what he said initially, he continued to ask him about events that transpired prior to 1982 before he even joined the army. The guest expressed his opinion on those prior events based on what he heard from his friends in the army around that period, and what he himself thought as a civilian. There is nothing fake about that. Andy should have paid attention to what the guest said about his timeline of joining the army, then he could have steered the interview in the right direction by asking the guest only about events that he was part of.
    Please Ghanaians, let’s be slow to speak/criticize, and quick to listen.

Because, anytime you are interviewing these retired soldiers, you impose accusations on Mr. Rawlings. Your interview with Adomako Nyamekye, this man was reigning insults on Mr. Rawlings but you never stoped him. By that interview, I also started developing hostility against you and thought of telling Mr. Rawlings not to grant you an interview. You can profess to Mr. Rawlings but your actions questions really tell what is in your heart against him. Because, even when you are have been clarified on certain things you don't want to accept it and wondering how you can sit in front of that innocent pursue driven man for an interview. And mind you, he is not going to apologize anybody today or tomorrow. You, keep your feelings.

    I use to walk from Accra Tema station to Achimota to school and walk back to catch a bus to Nungua, because I couldn't afford a bribe to go to school in Nungua.

      What did Acheampong, Afrifa, Akufu, Kotakota and co. do for Ghana? They betrayed their nation and actually destroyed everything Nkrumah built. Nkrumah's industrialization and nation building efforts were left to the ruins; some of which can be seen today.
      They had no idea of what it meant to run a country and yet they succumbed to the CIA and their British counterparts, took money from them and overthrew Nkrumah. They failed Ghana totally and should have been executed a million times. The airport in Accra should be renamed. Our main international airport should not be named after that evil man Kotoka.
      J.J. Rawlings did really well taking Ghana out of the bad state the nation was in at that time, and actually building the country we live in and see today. It isn't all rosy but a free beautiful country that we can further develop to become like any developed country in the world. People should stop pointing accusing fingers at Rawlings; he came to save the situation and did well despite all the challenges he faced.
