No matter what you think of him, he left Ghana a much better country. He was a blessing to Ghana. May he rest in peace.
Really are you guys sure
Amen and Amen
Then a lot of top nigerian top officials will die.jerry was a killer.anybody he sees as corrupt dies ,including ordinary workers,judges,lawyers,opponents politicians,business men and women, top military officials, auto repairers and the list go on.if such a leader is stooled in the nigerias highest chair ,remember not only positions are going to suffer but some of the youth whose activity has brought nigerias name into shame worldwide will be dealt with seriously including firing squad. This man was a lot.he was a cleaner but he might have been ignorant too.
@@ericnyamekye3010 during his time he has no time for arm robbers he just execute them we never had issue with robbery
@@ericnyamekye3010 well said.
This is what we need today
May his soul rest in perfect peace, we really love him he was a hero 💪
My GHANAIAN people let's all show him last respect 👍👍👍👈🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
I am from Nigeria. I Really love him so much ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻🙏 rest in peace sir
kumi, your people love him.
Rawlings was one of the best presidents Africa has ever had, you can't make an omelette without breaking an egg! RIP J J Rawlings.

Killing civilians and government officials and taking over the government is something you have to do because you don't like the structure of your country? He didn't give us anything, he became a dictator no better than the people he was complaining about and we're at the same stage as most african countries as far as development. His only possible accomplishment is democracy but even that you heard them say in the video he 'read the people's mood' (3:50). That's a dictator taking the que that people didn't want him in control anymore and he was wise enough to give up power.
A man who did the best he could of showing us that a leader is in office to serve. He spent his last moments at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana. Not laying in a hospital abroad like some of our leaders. RIP Jerry John Rawlings.
Unlike some walking brain dead that fly abroad every second.
could *have...
He may be inspiring to you. But some of us celebrate his death because in the heat of the coup, he made some of us, fatherlesss
@@kimberlysi7005 I'm aware. He wasn't a saint was also addressed in the video. It's why I tried to acknowledge that part of his decision making by saying he did the best he could. Deepest sympathies.
@@kimberlysi7005 hmmm deepest condolence
I wanna say more but there is just no justification for taking anybody's life
I like him a lot but I also understand he is not a perfect man
deepest sympathies Sister Kim...
"If your hand causes you to steal cut it off " Jj Rawlings wasn't a saint but he had the people at heart. And today Ghana is one of the best African nations. Sankara , Lumumba and Mandela were also in that line .
"One of the best African nations"? have you been to Ghana??
@@maxk5831 He is referring to stability and democracy when he mentions Ghana as one of the best, not economic wealth.
@@maxk5831 As a Ghanaian/Nigerian who felt safer in Ghana than Naija, I believe that country's on it's way to greatness
@Kokuvi Tsikata Flimsy praise singing is useless. Lets keep it real.
Its from realistic assessment and honest introspection that change and development can spring from.
The kind of sucker for praise the likes of you are, is childish at its best.
Shame on you too
He opened the doors of Ghana for development. Legend.
Clara K. Mallah
How did he do that? 😁 He was just another dictator. I don't know why other people want to celebrate him for us
@@blackblaze5271 shut up!!
Though not a Ghanaian, I live in Ghana and I've seen him before, once cleaning the gutter in front of his house on a Saturday morning alone, also he was coming from a trip sometimes ago, and there was heavy traffic (hold up) he got down from his car and started directing traffic broad daylight.. not speaking lies.. he was who they said.. JJ Rawlings couldn't hurt a fly though a military man. You see him mostly in white shirt flooding his hands when doing nothing in public.
Rest in peace Papa JJ
Just imagine, a president cleaning gutters.. it means he was humbled & cared about his people
@@aishaahmed4553
It's called propaganda ....
Gaddafi, Thomas Sankara and JJ Rawlings are African lions.RIP JJ Rawlings.
Two dictators and all with radical communist thinking, and gaddafi was anti-democratic. You will not find many communist leaders with true support in their country. Only outsiders who didn't live under them see them as great. Looks like sankara might have been a different case but you seem to prefer the worst kinds of leaders
60 years and not a single patriotic political leader to be proud of in Nigeria... thank goodness for Fela Kuti.
Let's keep it real, not matter how much you hate Rawlins, his intervention was really timely else Ghana would have been worse off. Thanks to him, democracy has come to stay in Ghana. Rawlins was a leader not a ruler. Unfortunately, his vision for Ghana wasn't entirely realised but we are still grateful Papa J.
He was an hero. We need a guy like that in Nigeria
Noting good to say about all Nigeria president. RIP Jerry Rawlings
Rawlings is the greatest African leader. My Condolence to his family, Ghanaians and Africa in general.
Except Muritala Muhammad
Very sad
What are you personally doing to be relevant to humanity?
@@olaray100 what did he do?
Without doubt a hero. He did his part and he will not be forgotten. May he rest in peace. We need more of his kind.
If not for Jerry. Ghana would have been worse than Nigeria. They should just thank God that they had someone like him.
Very very true!!!
Yes 👍
Every country has its good and bad moment from time to time. If you put all the good things in and about Nigeria together, it is way more than Ghana hundred times.
@@asitis4661 how do you mean?
@@asitis4661 Nigeria has no good parts at all. Don't be deceive
he handsome in and out ,great leader rest in power
Where are my Ghanaians Rip Jerry 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😫
We re there oo
We are here oo hmmm
This is a very sad news. Oh Nigerian leaders need someone like Rawlings if not this protest will continue forever.
I agreed with u completely
@@olamidewilliams4509 Same here.
Sis. Adeola, we Nigerians knows those leaders that when they die, we will really celebrate because this suffering is too much
Yes lots of HIGH TECH FACTORYS IN NIGERIA TRAINING NIGERIAANS. EVEN VOLKSWAGIN BUILD MILLIONS OF CARS IN LAGOS FACTORYS.
SOON THEY WILL GET ELECTRICITY.

@@babavictor6328 do you want factorys there...
@@michaelheery6303 bro if possible yes...people are really poor this side
@@babavictor6328 but u all ACT RICH..
He was a hero for this...as far as I'm concern. I love him for this. I remember when Ghanaians were leaving Nigeria, it was painful, then. JJ Rawlings to me is a great hero
Still waiting for a "Jerry Rawlings" in Nigeria
Me too
I wish🙏🏽
An Iroko tree has fallen.
Truly
It's rather wawa
Check out where the President died. In Ghana, a hospital there, not in a far away Europe or USA
That is Ghana for u
Abi o
👍🏿
Rest in peace, Chairman Rawlings. Condolences to his wife, children and the African people.
I have always loved this Man! He was what Ghanaians needed and still need! A man of RESPONSIBILITY, JUSTICE and ACCOUNTABILITY
It breaks my heart that Rawlings is dead. 💔💔
Great man. Definitely the political Bob Marley of Africa. May his soul rest in peace🙏
"HOUSE CLEANING" thus is soo necessary in Nigeria..there is no one that should go unpunished..
You are funny
876🇯🇲🇯🇲 Oh! I'm so sorry to hear. Condolences to his family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. I watched the documentary about him earlier this year. During this covid19 time, I've learned so much good about Africa and African instead of the you know what they only showed us on TV
he was in power by force for 20 years. how much about ghana do u know?
My sincere sympathy to his loving wife and family ,Ghanaians and ofcourse Africans and the whole world he was an African pride .
Rest in peace soldier you never die matching in the world beyond AMEN 🙏
I am a Nigerian this is the kind of leader we need in Nigeria
He may not have been a saint, but he was an African hero! Ghana is better today because of him. We thank God for him.
Babe you amazing for knowing how great this man was.
I'm a Ghanaian. J. J Rawlings is a hero.
A great African leader who brought back sanity and dignity to Ghana. May his great soul rest in perfect peace
I love ❤️ so much ur work....I’m English learner so I’m benefiting a lot..
Rip our hero 🙏🙏
How wish we have someone like this in Nigeria 🇳🇬 it will be very very good
Adeola, even 16 years after he left power, just a few years ago he got down from his car to direct traffic when he was in a traffic jam. I hope you find that video, it's heartwarming.
Are people this gullible. wasn't that a photo opp
@@maxk5831 photo op for what? A 72 year old ex president who can never be president anymore under the constitution?
He was a hero, I loved the idea of his political cleanliness that throw Ghana overboard corruption.
A very good man just like Mandela and Thomas sankara
Sankara killed no one
@@maxk5831 Save your personal grudges and accept the fact
@Mark Owusu Mandela inherited a relatively established political and economic South Africa while Rawlings saved Ghana from extinction
In memory of Jerry Rawlings. Rest in peace. His father is Scottish and his mother a Ghanaian. Technically speaking he is white but he chose his black heritage. God bless and keep his family. Rest in peace Lieutenant JJ.Rawlings.
He is not White 🤣 u idiot... learn properly...
Rest In Peace Chairman Rawlings. You’re beloved. We wish you were Nigerian leader.
Hi Adeola, thanks for the wonderful and marvelous video of late JJ Rawlings. He was a good leader, this is the man that all African should emulate. I remembered when I was in primary school always discussed about African leaders, I remembered that my teacher always talking about JJ Rawlings. We are going to miss the second Jesus of Africa. May his soul rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏. I remembered Thomas Sankara too, but unfortunately his life was cut short by his close friend manipulated by French government. Those are the people that love African. May his soul rest in peace too. Thanks Deola and much appreciated 👍👍👍.
Our hearts are broken a GAINT has fallen my proud Ewe man. Sleep well till we meet again another day God be with you.
May my Dady's soul rest in Perfect peace. I want to use this opportunity to tell Adeola that I love her so much. May God bless her and husband , together with the family. Peace out
Can Nigeria ever have such a selfless leader? RIP Rawlings.
Jerry Rawlings was a great leader that I admire his presidential style even though I didn't know him, we need his type of leadership here in Nigeria, like seriously
He was very hard on corruption
Yea, we wish for a leader like him in Nigeria.
Ghana we have lost a great man we can never forget him . May your Legend Soul Rest In Perfect Peace ✌️
To me, he remain the best president Ghana has ever had. Rest Well, Great Man
I'm a Ghanaian and you're absolutely right on
@@loveprevails7080 🤗
Thomas Sankara and JJ Rawlings were close friends. Rawlings was so saddened by Sankara's passing that he named a major road after him. He was really a man of the people. Rest in power.
Rawlings laid the foundation for the success we see today in Ghana and nobody can take that away from him, however some people attribute his commitment to the white blood in him. Either way, may his soul rest in peace
what is the success to be seen today?
@@maxk5831 How old are you, 19?
I am not a Ghanaian and never met him but no of him through books and documentaries. He is truly the ‘Giant of Africa!’ If Africa has even 5 of leaders like him, Africa will be great again! All I can say is I SALUT YOU SIR AND REST ON IN THE ALMIGHTY GOD. YOU DID A GREAT JOB FOR GHANA.😢🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽♥️🌹🌸.
He was just the best, I am so proud to have had him as my president ❤, some people only think of the fight he fought to get criminals off. I love that man so much and his death was a sad one. But I know he has fought a good fight and resting in glory 🙌 🙏❤🇬🇭 Ghana will forever remember him 🙌
Our president is gone home, those of us born around 79, 80's and through to 90's,hebwas our president, because we grew up with him. May God keep your soul, Papa J, we will miss you dearly 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Yes o Adeola, we need a leader like Rawlings in Nigeria, someone who will deal with all these corrupt leaders
May his soul rest in peace what a great lost to Ghana and Africa at large
God, we need this kind of president in Nigeria too.
NIGERIA NEEDS JJ RAWLINGS, MY HEART AND ADMIRATION GOES TO HIM, AS I EXPRESS MY CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILIES AS THE MOURN THE DEMISE OF HIS MOTHER & HIMSELF.
12 November 2020 was one of my saddest days, and one of Africa’s darkest days because of the death of a giant Pan-Africanist, an African statesman, an eloquent and a charismatic galant son of Africa Flight Lieutenant John Jerry Rawlings. You built the highway of democracy in Ghana, and made Ghana what it is today. We the Pan-Africanists will dearly miss you because you loved Ghana and Africa so much. I salute you. May your soul rest in eternal peace..🇬🇭 🇬🇭🇬🇭💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿.
No matter how he was looked at, J.J. Rawlings remains a great son of Africa, the Father of Ghana, and the beacon of hope to Nigeria.
He was in power longer than anyone in the country's history but he wasn't the father. He was born in Ghana and before he became popular there was a country called Ghana. Ghana precedes him and not the other way.
@@kwamebaidoo9601 you have your point, bro, and I sincerely agree with you.
Yet, to me "no matter how he was looked at......the Father of Modern Ghana..."
So, I regard as one of the most important figure in African history. No one will write Africa's history without mentioning Ghana and by extension her "modern day father".
Papa Rawlings is a hero.
no one is perfect, Papa Rawlings tried. He did the best he could. We need leaders like Papa Rawlings in Nigeria
Papa J, is a hero for me
He was a great Hero. Nigeria need a leader like J.J Rowling.
My deepest condolences to his immediate family, Extended family, Ghana and Africa as a whole.
Adieu Sir.
I don't think there is any past Nigeria President to be celebrated. There are very few past governors.
God receive him and give him refuge in your shelter. The best together with Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
A great man..may his soul rest peacefully. ☺
A beautiful soul is gone, u have done your best. Papa J
Of course he was a hero, the man of the people. RIP Papa J 🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
A man after my heart. Nigeria NEEDS our own JJ Rawlings now.
Rest in power legend 🙌 u never die in our hearts 💕 ..
Thank you Adeola Fayehun for doing this. A great tree indeed has fallen
Jerry rawlings was the saviour of Ghana .
God please give us a Jerry Rawlings in Nigeria. RIP, JJR.
Amen !!
One of the best man in black Africa. I think was the second best to our father chief obafemi awolowo. May his soul be blessed and rest in peace
We need a leader like this in Nigeria to take out of the hands of our corrupt leaders in this country. Leaders with great greed.
JJ Rowling is one of the greatest legend in Africa, and may the Almighty God forgive his sins and grant him paradise, he served as an exemplary for for other African Leaders to emulate.
RIP H.E.Jerry Rawlings.
Adeola Fayehun
: we admire you for what you are doing for all Africa. You are our symbol of justice for Africa.
This is the kind of person Nigeria needs right now.
He was also feared
A great vacuum has left Ghana politics, he will be remembered forever..
May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace
J j Railings , wonderful leader !!!
May his soul rest in peace.
Condolences to his Family and Ghanaians.
Thank you Adeola for the information.

Definitely a hero. Nigeria can do with a courageous leader like this.
Thanks for bring to remembrance the good works of ex-president JJ Rawlings. May his soul rest in peace
i was waiting for this... keep the fire
Thank you for giving voice to many aspects of West African politics with humor, kindness, honesty, integrity and most importantly love.
You are such a brilliant chap Areola keep it up ,I pray someone will come and take control of government in Nigeria and face out people like buhari, tinubu ,obasanjo,babangida,abudusalam, nearly all the governor's expect Seyi makinde and little few .
I wonder why we never learnt about this in school
We need leaders like him.
His wife, Nana is extremely educated! Several masters and a PhD.
which does what for ghana?
What's the relevance of his wife's academic accomplishments? I lost you there
She did nothing for Ghana
