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.
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...

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
Of course. Even corrupt people's children will always sympathise with their parents - because relative to them, they are simply just beneficiaries of all the goodies that comes out of their corruption - they buy them toys, send them to good schools, provide everything they need. Akufo-Addo's daughters will say same about their dad.
The Ghana, democracy and the constitution we abide by today are because of this man. He the founder of modern day Ghana, 'those' people hated him but his lovers were more. Everything he did was to hold this country together, something divisive minds hated. Rest well

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.

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?
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!
Can anyone see with me that this blood loving vampire Rawlings was lying through his teeth. Word has it that he actually authorised soldiers to chop them (coup plotters) while being filmed simultaneously by his pal Riad Hozaifeh. This was shown to some soldiers as a deterrent. He was a heartless human being.
@ambright the thinker Be a good citizen of Ghana rather than ass-worshipper of Rawlings to ask yourself how the so-called war came about. That political armed robber seized our weapons meant to protect us against internal and external aggression only to overthrow our mandated (constitutional government) in Limann and imposed himself on the country as though a messiah for 19 bloody years and killed (on record) over 500 Ghanaians in the process just to stay in power. Do you know all the constitutions of Ghana from 1960, 1969, 1979 and even 1992 empowers every Ghanaian to use fair or foul means to remove any coup maker from power and the nation would reward them when the country eventually return to constitutional rule? The likes of Alidu Giwa, Sarkodie Addo, Malik, Mawuli Goka, Kyeremeh Gyan are all of heroes of our land who laid down their lives to ensure we have a politically stable nation that we have today.

@@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?
He used the Northners to stage the coup and afterwards surrounded himself with his tribesmen according to Chris Atim's interviews. Don't forget he was retired from the Armforces by Limman. So those guys who brought him to power decided to pay him back. According to Kwaku Baako, about 427 civilians disappeared in Ghana without trace during his PNDC era.
I think Ghana is enjoying what God uses him to do for Ghana. Today, we can testify and understand how today's leaders use Ghana resources to borrow money and pocket some of the money.

He will be disappointed knowing you are his descendants.you are fool
Akufo-Addo should be interrogated for causing inhumane hardships on Ghanaians
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 .
@princeprosper3314Without his brave actions you will be probably somewhere in the streets of Ghana selling fresh coconuts
@princeprosper3314For sure, you were not born yet when he came to power and I will excuse your ignorance
@princeprosper3314 Know what?
All of those you mentioned above died of disobedience except those who escaped, their death has a reason why not, this is the same man Ghana needs as a President, just like Kennedy Agyapong intended to carry out from our past President from 2000 years till now, Akufo Addo was afraid to die like a chicken in his old age, Agyekym Kuffour is not very weak hmmmm
@princeprosper3314you are worse than Rawlings i tell you
Very economical with the ttuth.
Rest well daddy.

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
U be womaniser
@@johnwusahloriba6948 I swear 😆😆😆
Which beautiful
you dont know what is beautiful@@jacobblessing4598
Lol
Rest well ex. President
This man Rawlings should have been tried for the murders he committed.
Please leaders of Ghana do what will help the citizens but not what will impressed them
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
@@coventrypinto3728 you're a coward i bet you can't say foolish Ashanties on social media
Rawlings was just a lier, manipulator, and deceitful man.
WHAT ARE YOU
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.
if your mother or father died then you can be talking like this...like a breastfeeding mother Judge that was taken n killed just like that
@@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
@@jesuslambofgod2024 NDC foolish fool...keep defending them...i dont care if its NDC or Akuffo Addo or whoever..killing is killing....keep defending them...do your party people even know u....how much are u paid for this..their blood awaits u...fool
@@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.
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?
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!
Kwasiakwa
Never think he died just like that he was injected
Murder is never a good thing,the Ghosts of those who killed will haunt you till the end of time.
Yeah so that Karma can be better fulfilled.
Foolish talks 😂so ur father that died was because of his sins ryte, adwoe😂
Can anyone see with me that this blood loving vampire Rawlings was lying through his teeth. Word has it that he actually authorised soldiers to chop them (coup plotters) while being filmed simultaneously by his pal Riad Hozaifeh. This was shown to some soldiers as a deterrent. He was a heartless human being.
@ambright the thinker Be a good citizen of Ghana rather than ass-worshipper of Rawlings to ask yourself how the so-called war came about. That political armed robber seized our weapons meant to protect us against internal and external aggression only to overthrow our mandated (constitutional government) in Limann and imposed himself on the country as though a messiah for 19 bloody years and killed (on record) over 500 Ghanaians in the process just to stay in power. Do you know all the constitutions of Ghana from 1960, 1969, 1979 and even 1992 empowers every Ghanaian to use fair or foul means to remove any coup maker from power and the nation would reward them when the country eventually return to constitutional rule? The likes of Alidu Giwa, Sarkodie Addo, Malik, Mawuli Goka, Kyeremeh Gyan are all of heroes of our land who laid down their lives to ensure we have a politically stable nation that we have today. Learn your history and stop the insult.
@@TheFatbuoy so who overthrown NKRUMAH
Coward
@@gilbertsense7443 see the linkages? same people asante/akyem civilians with military backing of ewe in military... Nkrumah's and Liman's government was overthrown by the same elements
You have no proof, if you have that video you are free to send it let the whole world know his wickedness, aren't you a lier ?
He thought he was Jesus Christ now He has tasted what
death is hope he has met Afrifa and Co.
THANK GOD YOU WILL ESCAPE DEATH NONSENSE
@@nanaaburokyiregyasehenetak1233 I hv not laid my hands not on criminal or innocent person tell me wat Major Amedume did that u helped jj to take his precious life.U hv a charge to keep
Forever in our heart Papa J
Aw Chairman Rawlings....Rest In Peace....😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔
Rawlings was a criminal
By de way he imposed himself on us no ine elected him especially when Gen Afrifa was murdered by him for overthrowing Nkrumah why did he indemnify himself after de 81 coup against Limann? Animal farm business indeed
Aawwww.....Hmmmmm
Its sad
Rest In Peace JJ Rawlings
peace ??
How I wished PAPA JJ IS THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF GHANA.
A YEAR AFTER HIS PASS HE CAME TO ME IN MY DREAMS AND WHATEVER HE TOLD ME IN MY DREAMS WILL BE SHARED WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN ONE DAY. I SEE PAPA J AS A SPIRITUAL PERSON TO GHANA THOUGH AM NOT AN NDC 😊😊🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Hmmmm! God grant us the strength to accumulate what and who was the originator of all liers .
Great African Statesman.. Rest in peace Papa JJ
Hmmmmm i felt sad oooo when someone helped u to see life or survived and u helped them to meet death ooo
Time flies
We still watching
He was not clean but h love him, he did his best in Ghana...
1158, which is number 6, meaning mankind, human, intelligence
No wander he want the best for humidity
Ghanaians rethink
Rawlings was no angel, you people should wise up.
And your father is/was?
Same way ur father is or was not an angel n u will never be 😂
Eiih you finally there with Tettey now,Jerry.
If you compare this communication to Gambia trrc commission will be a shame of been a Ghanaian
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
Forever in my heart
Why can’t this monster be audible.
I believe Riad has the tapes and must be made to produce the tapes
Why was Bishop palmer there at this event? Was it a catholic Mass or bishop's conference? They all have their interest.
The situation in ghana now need leaders to interrogate into it and make things right, but, they are all hypothetically and cowardly muted.
The Youth of today recognise s the incredible things he did for our nation though he might be right or wrong but he did it for the growth of our country. Rawlings will always and forever remain in our hearts. RIP PaPa.
H.E Jerry John Rawlings
You did your best for Ghana and you even tried but
I slaute sir
Rest in perfect peace Father still remember you anytime
You can tell the guilt all over his face and response. These people shoukd have been tried in court but they knew too much so killed illegally
Maybe you don't know how he speaks.
This man was a murderer who thought was superior over every single Ghanaian. He was an Anti-Ashanti as well , but wait , where's he now ?? NDC and NPP are the biggest nightmare of this nation. Continue to Rest in Pain JJ , if you ever ordered the kiling of an innocent soul
Please I like to read more about
What is wrong with we Africans
To humiliate our leaders,such a leader did not deserve this
The brave Man may your soul rest in perfect peace 🙏
This man has killed both innocent and sinners
He only killed the bad nut from the good ones, he reason very well he did not harm the innocent once, stop lying
So if it was to be u , will u be able to identify those u claim innocent?
Omg am I the only one seeing the way he was looking at the commissioners while he was swearing ...eeeii JJ has no fear at all...Daddy I will love you till the end of time ...
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!
After if he admit whatever you want to hear after what happen
Would you also acknowledge that the democracy you enjoy whenever you come on holiday is because of the choices of this same Rawlings and other actors.
@@spashdad Do you praise a thief for returning what he stole from you?
Who did Rawlings steal the Democracy from in 1979 please @Richard. I am not NDC or NPP just putting that out there
@@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?
MR JJ MISSING YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤
He used the Northners to stage the coup and afterwards surrounded himself with his tribesmen according to Chris Atim's interviews. Don't forget he was retired from the Armforces by Limman. So those guys who brought him to power decided to pay him back. According to Kwaku Baako, about 427 civilians disappeared in Ghana without trace during his PNDC era.
Surrounded himself with tribesmen b3n? Gtfoh with that BS.
Kwaku Baako is a liar...
Please try to understand that most of the said people have fled the country out of fear and guilt
True a micronationalist … he came for his tribesmen ultimately.. he indeed came into power with much help from northerners
Northerners became greedy and corrupt. example of them Adebuga
Ok now we all see that Rawlings could still intimidate people till his death. The committee was too soft on him...
Law does not apply to some
Tsikata and co
Gyiwa wanted to kill Rawlings... too soft s3n gyimiii !
@@FactsReelsOnline lol bossu why u vex? Have u watched other interrogations?
@@Ghmeetssa You don't need to reply him. He's ill knowledge about the scares of the revolution
Anyone who wasn’t even born at the time should hold their corner. Cos they’ll never experience the fear some of us did.
Why should Jj keep state secrets if he has nothing to hide
You will forever be remembered as a true brave patriot. Your kind is missing and lacking in these hard times. RIP JJR ❤❤
I think Ghana is enjoying what God uses him to do for Ghana. Today, we can testify and understand how today's leaders use Ghana resources to borrow money and pocket some of the money. To get a leader like JJ. I do know when. Today you critics, you are enjoying the peace and order he has given to us all. Look around you before you comment. Years of wars in other African countries. You who speak or comment without thinking. Think
God bless Rawlings. Saviour
He said he will use all three Eei ! Controversial man, we’ll miss him
He is not controversial but just asking
He was not clean but i still love his vim
