Capt Awuni is a very rare breed of man. A man of integrity prepared to suffer for his convictions. It’s scary to hear how volatile the atmosphere was at the time. We must thank God for the peace in Ghana now. We must pray we never see those times again
Five years and I keep watching this great interview with captain Joe Awuni
Lawyer Andy we love your programe, but please be reminded that we are not in court, kindly minimize your interruptions when your guest is flowing. hope to see an upgraded version of your interview. Big ups
3 yrs already and I always come back watching this video..a great story teller indeed.
Baba is a prolific narrator of events.We have alpha men in Ghana.God bless our men, God bless Ghana.
I personally would like to meet Capt. Joe Baba Awuni(RTD). Truth be told, I have enjoyed every bit of his interview.
Waaaooow Capt Awuni you are very intelligent soldier. I thank God for your life
I can make a whole movie about Capt awuni story based solely on this interview, too detailed, with visual graphics, like am literally reading a book or watching a movie. I plan on seeing or making a movie or starring as him in a movie one day, Mark my words Ghana
Marked
I like your enthusiasm...I have also taught of that for sometime now. The whole Rawlings coup is interesting and how it all played out.
Awuni is the smooth, disciplined and straight laced type who was trained to follow authority and orders. The type who would not get himself into unnecessary fracas or trouble with his superiors and system. A conformist and a fine man. A man of deep understanding.
Bro

In total contrast to JJ
This man is very intelligent and brave. Proud northerner
I’m an Akan. But very proud of this Man.
This man is an intelligent soldier....nice 1
This is revealing . Keep up the good job in letting us know about the untold historical events that took place in some contemporary epoch of our national development.many more have played similar roles and suffered the same fate .Bring them on board for us to hear them.
Poor interviewer great interviewee. Andy you have to do better.

great shp
Thank you Andy for making this history known to us.
Andy there lot of unheard soldiers of Dec 31st coup my name is Amponsah
Seriously all your interviews should be compiled for a movie
woow love this man ,
Capt Joe Awuni (Rtd) well done
I just love this man. Well experienced soldier!
This Capt. Awuni is brilliant and confident; I like him. I used to love Rawlings but having heard a lot from Ghanaian, I think he should be brought to justice because he was/is a beast. Ironically, most of my fellow Nigerians still adore Rawlings.
J J RAWLINGS HE WASN'T TELLING YOUR FRIENDS THE TRUTH STORIES AND HE IS GOOD LIES 🤔
@Anuaa Adadzewa Awotwe: You are correct, Nigerians believe that Rawlings was an unblemished hero whom we should have had to cleanse our filthy political house. I used to think that way of him but I slightly changed my perception of him not too long before he died. Notwithstanding, I still believe that he saved Ghana from descending to absolute hopelessness. He was imperfect like the rest of us, so RIP to him.
A very good story teller. Enjoyed every moment
Such a great guy you are Andy had a pleasure of meeting you in Ghana and it was great keep it up
Andy I think some of ur questions aren't necessary.
Please minimize ur interruption for us to enjoy the interview.
True! It happened in the previous ones too...I'm enjoying it too.

Thanks
Douglas Asante
Thanks
Like seriously
this guy is an excellent story teller. He should start publishing
Azerbaijan
Andy thanks very much for this wonderful program very interesting
wow, this is a real soldier, loyal to his duty and conscience
I respect this uncle a lot he is very intelligent Man I wish I can get close to him.
Wow....memories!!! I remembered those days were scary my bro was then among the group who fought with the likes of Alpha, Danjuman and Nelson who was very light skinned behind my childhood home in Mamobi. That’s if he’s the same who served Capt. with the rice.
Capt Joe Awuni is a perfect, intelligent and smart soldier, better than others army officers, hence he was set and framed up. J.J. Rawlings ,should GO,down on his for this guy.ThankGod.
I love this program
ANDY NICE PROGRAM , PLEASE GIVE US MORE OF THIS SINCE WE CANT GET SUCH PRICELESS HISTORY ANY WHERE NOT EVEN ON GOOGLE AND GHANA WEB , IF YOU CAN CAN YOU DO AN INTERVIEW ON THE 1979 FIRING SQUAD MURDERS OF ACHEANPONG , FELI AND CO AT THE TESHIE RANGE
When I watch this kind of interview from these Gentlemen. I said to my self Ghana was and is blessed to have such an intelligent and finest personnels
Well done sir, you have a good heart and God richly bless you, you have earned my great respect, salute you sir.
woooow....this should be a movie.
we can talk about those sweet boots later
Am enjoying the conversation,feels like I was there❤️
This is true history!
Very credible witness!
these is real ghanaian history that have to be properly told . we need a movie about this incidence after the 79 coup.
Frank Rockson
79 handover was done reluctantly to fool everybody because the blood thirsty guys had enjoyed the taste of blood
That s the truth
@@yawjay7049 you have to realize that after the 1979 handover, out of the 15-member AFRC only one of them stayed in Ghana and didn't take the leave offered to go outside the country to take a military course. All 14 of them left but only ONE stayed back. Why is it that all of the 14 left and one decided to stay? So not all of them was blood thirsty. The blood thirsty one was the one who stayed back. The rest of the AFRC are National Heroes who restored the Constitution of the Republic.
Samuel Kweku Bentil national heroes with blood on their hands. Go figure why we are still backward and blood thirsty. Vraiment incroyable et dégoûtant.
Youssef Camara, whose blood are you referring to? and on who's hands? be clear for an appropriate response. Nevertheless, any country that does not apply justice for all and follow its laws will not go far.
This Interview should have happened when Ur JJ was alive and many others. This officer is one of the best and trustworthy officers Ghana ever had.
What are you high on? Jejeti weed? 🤷🏽♂️🤔
You okay???
Andy I like your program but you interrupt toooo much aaba! Let them flow with the story please.
Too many interruptions
Not true
@@nelzo1 not true
@@nelzo1j
Really enjoyed the interview,good narratives on the past events in #Ghana
Good programme and revealing but your interruptions does't help the flow of the narration. I understand you need to guide the interview but one key thing I've realised is your unnecessary interruptions
Andy you gotta go
find Akatapore ‘cuz his name comes up a lot
Wooow Capt Awuni. You are a real soldier. Not like those evil ones JJ. Greetings from Akim Oda.
Chris Atim and Alolga Akatapore must be on this platform if they are still alive.
I'm now understood why some peoples hate ..Rawlings
This stories give me shivers. My late husband was almost killed by a crazy Lance Corporal at the Graphic Corporation because of this unnecessary Coup.
Hmm
I've enjoyed this interview but most questions kill the story line
Why wouldn't it be accurate , no one has said anything about him lying including those alive still that he mentioned, facts and truth cannot be challenged..and am yet to witness a challenge
Not true
How many questions did he even asked...you people complain too much?
Keep up the good job. Memories, how my daddy was beating during pndc time.
who's your daddy?
Why was he beating you??😂🤣
@Immanuel T. What do you want who my daddy is? You kids born during JJ rule doesn't know how things got to? Andy D is doing a hell of a great job for GH but most of you guys takes politics to be like religious believe. Haven't been in GH since 1979 but I wish GH all the best.
@@tranquil2380 what is funny? Please don't sit behind your screen and make fun of grown men been beaten in the past. Let me assure you, you can be found and dealt with quick.
You said "my daddy was beating." So I thought he was BEATING you. Don't jump to conclusions, and start an argument.
A great film can come out of this
This is so interesting to watch. The guest is too eloquent and a good narrator as well. Good job, Andy esq
Irrelevant and pointless interruptions by the host is actually spoiling the flow .
This is priceless history that has never been revealed.
Andy, I appreciated you bringing this interviews to us but listening to your constant unnecessary interruption makes it such a chore.
You're asking questions like this it happened just last week, remember this happened over 30 years ago.
Andy you really need to check your interviewing skills; please allow your guests to speak and finish what they have to say before bringing in an unrelated question.
Your interruption can be a bit irritating for we the viewers and even the interviewee.
He's so annoying. Pretending he knows so much. Am sitting here so irritated by the irrelevant interjections.
And he doesn't ask intelligent questions too
Would be an AMAZING FILM.Great Narrator -Kwabotwe man
Very elaborate, clear and consistent....Big ups captain
Hahahaaaaa! This helicopter story is so hilarious.
The capt is good with his narrations.
Omg😍😍😍I just love you my lawyer another 1 ..keep it up may God Bless you... handsome lawyer be that..haters will always hate keep doing you my dear!
I am dying to know what happened to those jailed at usher fort?
I am impressed about your mental fortitude in the handling of the tacks put on your plate.
They stayed in prison until June,1983 until they had to jailbreak oh. They nearly toppled the pndc
That opening theme song is so Ghanaian!! Love it!
Here is the quality of officers that we had in our army - gentlemen and civilised.
Andy learn how to interview full stop. U bring great guest but u spoil their flow. Captain just give us the 2nd story and forget Andy. Andy u ask funny questions lol.
Ye😂
The real men were from the North
@Bantze Hotep u fool paaa
Thank you Andy for a wonderful video, but I think you missed some questions;
1.Who were the pilots of the helicopter mentioned at the beginning of the video who flew Capt Awuni from the Castle to Gondar barracks? Did he know their names?
2.On the flight from the Castle to the Gondar barracks were the pilots seemingly communicating with anyone?
3.At the time of the problem what was Major Yaache’s office, duty or command?
4.When he (Capt Awuni) collected the weapons from Akata-Pore and co, what did he do with them?
Observation: The mistake we all Ghanaians made for all this time is that Rawlings behaves just like a mafia boss. He talks and give s instructions in a round- about fashion and also plans far ahead so that when the murder becomes public, nothing can be pinned on him. The way JJR got Capt Awuni involved in the disarming of the Akata-Pore gang is a classical example. Don’t be deceived, Rawlings DID want those killed to be killed. He just plants a seed in the minds of the eventual perpetrator and leads him gently to the final conclusion, so that he can deny his involvement.
It’s interesting how Capt Awuni never addresses Quainoo without any rank. Even junior officers and other ranks are addressed by rank.
Poignant & brilliant summation of the head s strategy
Sure. Rawlings was a Machiavellian through and through. He read those books, as Adabuga would confirm, and applied them to the letter. It's sad how he used and dumped this man and others.
Awwww...... I am stunned
andy i like what you're doing.. but i think its best you just sit and let them talk.. these interjections are painful.. this is not the court room please
Captain Awuni is a brave man and I’ve learnt a lot from him . He’s a true hero
Andy you are too gentle for this programme, you need to ask questions and stop smiling this is not a joke.
Did you want him to cry?
My grandmaa was kenke seller at that time at bolga barras.when people come to eat without take money from some of them.she hate JJ so much and Ndc😢🇬🇭
😥😥😥
ADOMAKU NYAMEKYE'S STORY DIRECTLY CONFLICTS THE STORY THIS OUR GALLANT CAPTAIN TELLS US....SOME OF THE STORIES SAY HE WAS INVOLVED IN THE COUP PLOT.......WE MAY NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH.....
I have watched it for the 11th times, and still wanting to watch it again and again. Very educative, interesting and a huge lesson to learn from his experience. Part of Ghana’s history told by an insider. it wealth more than reading 2000 volumes of books written by some sessional historians.
Andy D I really like your program very well for revealing the past into this present days....I appreciate your efforts so much but my problems is that your questions can not be answered “NO”
andy i love your interview however i wish you can slow down with the questions and allow him to tell his story without constantly interrupting with questions
Nice interview. If you get an opportunity to interview another person of the revolution, ask why Felli was murdered.
Thank you Philip. Will do
Was Air Vice Marshall Boakye murdered?
@@yawjay7049 yes, he was given firing squad on June 26th 1979.
Mr Andy,
It will be nice if you can bring back some of them to meet Personally to share their experiences in the Military and all tha happened to them they all need to write a book that can be used as a history for our country. Starting from 24th February 1966,1972, 1978,79 , the book can be used to teach students what happened when they were not born. I myself watching this program I have Learned a lot watching the military men telling this fascinating story about RAWLINGS and dominated military officers.And still people are still supporting him. THANKS
a gentleman. well done .
Another question you missed, Andy; What did Rawlings mean when he said 'The whole of Burma Camp is surrounded by people with bows and arrows'?
You see how two-tongued Rawlings is? You see how he plays the ethnic card? And yet when he is on platform with a mike he will first start castigating people about using tribalism to wreak havoc in the country. It is just like being abroad. As soon as someone treats you unfairly they quickly say '...I am not a racist.'
Ah! What a thing to say! 'The whole of Burma Camp is surrounded by people with bows and arrows!' When the Captain said it, I was waiting to hear what he found at Burma Camp. You also see how Rawlings speaks indirectly with insinuations and code? That way, he can always deny what was implied. I will post examples on the video dealing with the killing of the judges.
You are very perceptive. Bows and Arrows = Northerners. The sad thing was without these Northerners he would not have gotten where he was.
@@PaultheSheik ... then he got the killers to wear fugu when they went to kill the judges. He and Tsikata are evil! Evil! Evil!
Meeting Capt. In 2021 and watching this interview today. I will say, he is true to himself.
I really love this documentary and that of Adomako Nyamekye. This Rawlings man, hmmmmmmm.
WHY ALL THIS UNNECESSARY QUESTIONS AND INTERPRETING. PLEASE LET HIM TO EXPRESS SMALL .
.ABEG
Why all these unnecessary comments? Please be constructive in your criticism. Thank you
What a shame. To humiliate decent people like this.
I hope his story is accurate, seems very detailed. Kudos if he can still remember every detail after almost 40yrs...hmmm 🙄
I know Chris Usher at Oda, school with his Son at Hecta international Mr Usher was a lawyer n very powerful at that time, he got off back to Oda, later kill a man n went to exile, his son was Usher Konto,, like father like Son,,,,JJ cant handle him, he's a tough guy,,,,
Nice documentary but with the narration this man is giving, he shouldn’t have been interrupted that many times
Bad interviewer but good interviewee. Andy u need to get proper training. Too bad
Please come and take over😃😃😃
Andy I really like and enjoy your program coz more secrets are now coming to light.
why didn't caption Awuni return to the castle the next day after performing his duties right on time, in order to get out of this mess.
.Excellent interview, I agree with most things he said except 2:35 Gen Arnold Quainoo was a graduate of the US Army Ranger school and I highly doubt he was scared or hadn’t been through worse situations! He was just pissed off. At that point in his career he wasn’t expected to be dealing with such crap!
Quainoo never went to the Ranger school in the U.S.A. It was the late Major Quashiga who was a graduate of the ranger school.
Please can you ask Mr. Matthew if he knows about the whereabout of Amedeka
Andy...some of your questions undermine military training
True
Awuni did what any soldier would have done for his NCOs!
PLS... too much interruption in your show.....U do not allow the man to speak....POOR INTERVIEW.
I'am togolese and I love Rawlings. I will still love him, you can say everything you want.
That's why you people continue to be stupid ok.
@@oseiboateng7033 GOOD REPLY BIG THANKS BROTHER Osei Boateng 🤣🤣.
Robot??
That's your business 😂
Hi Andy D big ups to your show continue to keep us inform about all the atrocities that happened during the evil reigns of Jerry John Rawlings
Worth hearing
Very great program. Thank you. How can some one support this program?
Thank you for your kind comment. We are very grateful. For support please contact us on +447448897335.
Those criticizing Andy that he is always interrupting the interview so you want him to sit there like mumu and be watching his guest right? If you have been following his guests and story , Andy is always interested about the story linking to the killing of the Judges. So he interrupts when the story is going wayward. Andy you and your team keep the good work up and not waiting for these men to die for people to come and write what they don't know. Andy hope one day you will invite Papa J and Kojo Tsikata to also tell their side of the story aside the ones we know and heard during the NRC, don't wait for them to die. I know you can do it. Like one of your guest said you can be in office and not be in power.
As at today the killings is still on going, a whole sitting MP was murdered in cold blood at home and the whole country seems to keep silent about it. As for the freedom we have it but the justice is what we are been denied of. keep the good work. Thumbs up
I wonder why people complain too much abt asking a lot of questions.
well said Joseph, but how would o feel if i interrupted u after ur 1st two sentences to talk about another issue?
Great interview👈👌👌👌
Andy, did you really asked the question "why did Rawlings take such interest in you?" ?. Hmmm, i don't know bit could it be because he waa a northerner and the boys were mostly northerners except for Asare?
Some of his questions were not intelligent honestly.t
Wow .what a story ????
Rawlings was quite an actor
I think Andy thinks he is in the courts... he asks questions like he is in court. Love this history though!
Andy, you have to hone your interviewing skills
Andy why didn't you ask him what happened to the soldier that were sent to the Usher fort? We they released, killed or broke jail?
They broke jail. Finally Giwa was arrested again n executed by evil JJ
They broke jail
I swear dis host is annoying paaa jux listen to him and let him finish answering da questions !! He was following command !!! Sorry buh Andy dis isnt amovie is real life event !
This Andy D guy seems not to understand how militaries operate. It’s not a law court mate! You get told, you do. The commanding officer bears the brunt in the end.
