Why Jerry Rawlings Staged a Bloody Coup in 1979
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- On June 4, 1979, one Flight Lieutenant Jerry Rawlings was sprung from his sweltering jail cell to lead a coup by the other ranks of the Ghanaian army. This coup turned out to be a pacesetter event that reverberated throughout West Africa.
This event, known as the June 4th Revolution in Ghana or June 4th Uprising was sparked when the then Supreme Military Council (SMC II) of General Fred Akuffo put flight-Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings on public trial for attempting to overthrow the government on May 15th 1979….
The revolution itself and Rawlings' failed mutiny on 15 May, was a culmination of the turbulent period 1972 to 1979, which will definitely go down into history as the most traumatic, the most dramatic and the most tragic period in the history of Ghana.
It was a period which saw events moving with the force of a hurricane, devastating and consuming everything in the way and leaving behind nothing but economic stagnation and bankruptcy and decadence and moral degeneration and decay.
In this episode of African Biographics, we look at the story of the events pertaining to Ghana’s famous 4 June Revolution of 1979.

#Ghana #JerryRawlings
Why are people so wicked and self-centered??
😥😥😭
Really respected this Rawlings...
My Mom, a Nigerian, told me of the history, what he did for Ghana. How Ghanaians fled to Nigeria and other countries during Ghana's economic downturn caused by the corrupt leaders.
Nigeria was still having better economy at that time. But it's so painful that Nigeria later turned the same as corrupt leaders continued to evolve and increase also in Nigeria.
I weep for many black nations as we have not seen our people and our nations as priority.
"We do not have the oath of loyalty and Patriotism."
I wish our generation and the coming one will do something about these, like Rawlings did.
Respects to that man Rawlings.
Was because of his name I clicked on this video.
His name rings positively anytime I heard or see it.
😥
That is Ghana people for you , Tribal and partisan politics .
Black Countries like Rwanda and Botswana are doing fine

Why do nigerians take it upon themselves to celebrate a killer in another country? You're not the ones who had to deal with it
Always been one of my African idols.Loved the bromance between him and Sankara.Wish my country 🇨🇲 could have someone like him

Please keep these coming, it is so important that the diaspora knows this information 🔥🔥❤️
My favorite Ghanaian president! 🇹🇬🇬🇭
I am Nigerian but J.J Rawlings had always been my hero. RIP great son of Africa.
NIGERIA NEEDS A JJ RAWLINGS !!

Yes, you're the one of the peoples pushing him like a hero when it's not even your country or your history to experience and you don't really know anything about him. Why do you think it's appropriate to make a mockery out of the horror he inflicted?

Hate him or love him. Rawlings is the main reason we have political stability in Ghana today
No one denies his role in stabilizing in some ways.
You’re absolutely right,hadn’t it because of his excursion of corrupt leaders Ghana 🇬🇭 would have been sink and bath in corruptionjust look at what is happening currently
Great video as always! I am a Dutch University student, majoring in History and I am really interested in world history. My critique of my education is that it is too focused on mainstream history (so it isn't too Eurocentric necessarily, but we only go indepth on for example Chinese dynasties or Egypt). But I am super interested in African history and that led to visit multiple countries on your beautiful continent! I am super grateful for your videos! You are my go to channel on everything Africa.
Keep up the great work!🇳🇱🇿🇦
Thank you
There were old African Empires who used to trade with the Arabs from North Africa in the Gold and salt trade. This interaction brought about the islamization of the Sub Sahara areas.
Africans who fled Islamic persecution fled and settled along the west African coast until they came into contact with the Europeans after 1470s.
The Europeans partition Africa among themselves
@@michaelacheampong2869 Super interesting! Which empires are from your example, because I really want to look it up and learn more about it?!
I am from the Ghana empire, which as around Mali, Timbuktu. The ruins are still there.
Our people moved from Mali to present day Ghana along the coast to escape persecution. Now those along the coast came into contact with European missionaries and converted to Christianity.
There was also the songhai empire. Mali Empire etc..
At the horn of Africa too, u had Arab traders going from Somalia and Sudan to, zanzibar (Tanzania) to buy slaves etc. These practices were going on before the Europeans got there.
@@michaelacheampong2869 Thanks for this. We learned all of these in school back in the day, but I have hardly seen its relevance (and even forgotten most part of it) until now as you rehash it. Thanks.
I am a Ghanaian and I love this report.
Great work, Great work. My brother you're an asset to Africa. You're doing a tremendous job. Keep up the good work.
most truthful and exact video i have ever seen on youtube. I was there when all these things happened. very exact naration.

Really respected this Rawlings Ghana's economic downturn caused by the corrupt leaders. we are going to get more AMAZING leaders in the YOUTH
You've done a very good work!!!
Very interesting thank you for posting this video.
JJ Rawlings is the best ever you man for Ghana
You got a new subscriber. I love African/Jewish/world/original... history. Thanks
Awesome video, thank you. You have gained a subscriber, Tatenda.
Great summary. I love every bit of it
Reading through some comments and it seems some Ghanaians don’t like him. I actually thought y’all will cherish him. I guessed wrong.
My parents, who are Nigerians grew up in Ghana and they always had good things to say about Rawlings even though according to my parents he told all Nigerians to leave Ghana and vice versa.
Anyways, whatever the case my be…..I just pray for a better Africa in general. Viva Africa! One love!❤️
Ghanaians dislike honest and incorruptible men.
I'm not sure which comments you are reading, but Rawlings was a statesman. Yes all leaders have their flaws, but he did what he could for Ghana.
Those who don't like him are don't who don't understand our history. They wanted a better Ghana without paying any price. GHANA is what it is thanks partly to him. He stabilized Ghana till we were ready for democracy.
@@Ekowreelstudiosif we confirm the evidence we have as nation to prove his relevance,i think we have to ask ourselves what he did with the 19 years he had?Did it change Ghana or it made it worst?Judge for yourselves.
@@naad1225with the 19 years he had he restored this country to the longest constitutional rule in Ghana's history.
We need him in Liberia too
Thanx a lot for this masterpiece
Well researched piece of work..Good job👏🏾
King Rawlings
Thank you, will you do a part 2?
GOOD 👍 DOCUMENTARY .. GOOD JOB .
I didn't know Ghana had a turbulent history. They seem so calm😮
Thank you so much!
A great narrative.
Jerry Rawling Was a Great man
My parents told me that Rawlings killed a lot of innocent people in Ghana. Its one of the reasons why my dad left Ghana in the 80s and immigrated to Canada
I think he killed ppl dat deal in Shady business
He deleted ppl who were supposed to be deleted!!!!
I think you should tell your ungrateful parents that they're nation wreckers. They're among those who were hoarding goods and later sold them at higher prices. Only the corrupt selfish greedy, nation wreckers, people who hates the truth, cheaters hates Rawlings because Rawlings was their roadblock. Africa and Ghana today still needs 1000's Of Rawlings that your parents hates to not just to do house cleaning but to drain the swamps too
@@kofiarthur3749 💯💯💯💯!!! Youth of Africas life would be so much better if we had more of him! Instead we have Addo and bawumias! Yesu !!!!!!
@@GrailArmattoe-2424 There you go! Yes though Rawlings made a few mistakes he was far better than all the leaders came after him. He brought security, fear, discipline, organize etc to Ghanaians something 99% of Africans still lack today. Too bad he stopped his actions along the way due to pressure from the evil HYPOCRITES Western Whites and the traitors from Nigeria. These fools were afraid of Rawlings, Sankara and Gaddafi so they decided to make life a hell for them ( Minor Santions and series of attacks) so that their revolution not spill over all of Africa. The sad thing was that Most Ghanaians or Africans at that time were lack of information because there were no even phones let alone Social media as it is today
I love the OPERATION HOUSE CLEANING ...Let blood flow to prove justice exist 🤔
Thanks shared it with my children. Please check currency for the earlier period
Evil will not go unpublished.
Do you have a video of captain tsikata
Ghana is far better with Rawlins then what we have now
The news reader has done well
Rawlings is what Nigeria needs to reset the status quo and pu the likes of FFK and other state actors in jail or the gallows if convicted..
Our beloved country is now a top 10 economy in Africa with new projects/ infrastructures popping up everywhere; eventhough it is done only in Akan-Kwa districts. Natural resources and foreign investment are behind this progress, however the greed/selfish superior tribes, the political elites seem to be planning another siege to throw any indigenous out of Ghana. We don't deserve to participate or enjoy anything the nation achieves or even fly from any Airport. This psychological damage they are causing in collaboration with the police and civil servants is so huge to the extent African Union/Un must intervene.
And what can the corrupt UN do ?
It has no power . Could not stop Lybia , Irak , Afghanistan , Yemen , Yuguslavia etc . The UN is controled by the West .
The death of Jerry the Junior Jesus is a big blow to the mega pollas he chooses to be his tribe. Junior Jesus was my idol, a heroe until i left Ghana in April 1997. I continued admiring him until I discovered the conduct of his people which only ruins him and his reputation/ the party.
Rawlings is The best thing that happened to Ghana.
If I was in the military my junta would be baptized ' the popular revolutionary redemption council '
RIP Sir
Man like Rawlings!!!
is funny about the over price in Ghana trading is happening again in 2024
Rawlings delay the development of Ghana. He wasted 20years of our lives. At the end nothing to show for. Killed and terrorised people from what he deemed as corrupt. Himself became corrupt. How can a man who was created yorkegari, was able to afford to send him children abroad for schooling. He really terrorized Ghanaians in that period.
Some of you people try so hard to find dirt on the man yet your only premise for calling him corrupt was the fact that he was able to fund the education of his children abroad ?
as a Ghanaian, I really appreciate your summary. you did a good work and said exactly how it happened

Jerry Rawlings single handedly improved Ghana and the political and economic legacy he created endures to this day . Similar to the good example Seretse Khama set in Botswana. It only takes one greedy evil leader to set the evil trend.

Fa Woto Begye Golf is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time! I love the nicknames people come up with for their corrupt leaders.
They only gave the dog a bad name just to kill him. He had only one house which he built in his village with the help of his community, yet he was tagged corrupt. Search well on UA-cam and you'll find more truths. The men who live during that time and were involved in what happened are out talking now. The Baah Acheamfours, Akatapores and the Boakye Gyans are all talking. Who was corrupt than JJ. He kills someone for having a WC toilet and buys a jacuzzi for his wife. He kills someone for riding their kids to school in official cars and uses the are aircraft to train his child how to fly plane. Which is more corrupt here. Acheampong did so much for Ghana which for obvious reasons have never been captured in our history books. Ask folks who live around Navrongo about the Tono dam. The estate housing projects were all his initiatives. JJ inherited factories and ended up collapsing all of them. Ghanaians now want to see industries...hahahahaha...Go and ask about what JJ did. I ever saw corned beef, rice and tomato paste produced in Ghana. We had cheap transport system called OSA. Where are they. Ghanaians were working 24/7 so there were jobs oo. Many people don't even know that Acheampong made Ghana drive on the right side. It used to be left.
Ok, for good measure, here's an anecdote. The story goes that one of these mistresses walked into his office looking for a favour of sorts. As she turns to walk out after their discussion, Acheampong then notices her backside. Out of shock, he shouts after her: eih, and you didn't come in walking backwards?
@@AfricaLately Haha! That's hilarious, thanks for sharing the story.
😂😂😂😂😂
So little is known about real contemporary African history. Thank you!
Jerry Rawlings is so dearly missed by real patriots of Ghana. He was a disciplinarian. Unfortunately, those surrounding him were not so disciplined and would rather the corruption prevail. Africa needs the likes of Nkrumah, Rawlings, Mandela, Gaddafi and other great Africans once again. It's takes force and strong hands to break free from corruption and to truly gain independence.
May his soul rest in the most peaceful place.❤
What honour it is to be trusted by your people to lead them. What a waist it is to exploit it.

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

I HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING NEW😃😃
Please, please, please. The word is Hausa. Kar ka bude. To wits: don't open it. The connotation is of corrupt things done under cover, which should be kept hidden. Kalabule is only a corruption of kar ka bude or kada Ka bude, depending on the variety, just like waakay (beans) has been corrupted by the dominant culture to wakye, or soboro(do) to sobolo.
NB: read Prof. Mike Oquaye's Politics in Ghana, 1972 -1979, which has a chapter on kalabule.
What a great revolutionist he shaped the Ghana of today

Jerry Rawlins looked like a film star!!l
The guy who's reporting is so good I wonder what's his name
Many Ghanaians use to sing a song called “J.J do something before you die”
All this was the culmination of the 24th February, 1966 coup which overthrew the civilian government of Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah.....mind you, JJ Rawlings was a fan of Osagyefo and a pic was taken when he was a kid with Osagyefo
That coup, you call bloody is the saviour and preceptor for development in Ghana.
1. Construction of roads that connects southern to northern Ghana.
2. Extension of lights to cover 80% of the country from less than 20%.
3. Construction of major bridges that connects rural to urban Ghana.
4. The 1992 constitution, that placed Ghana on the path of democracy and development.
5.scaled down corruption in the country.
6.Free education for all.
The achievements can be mentioned and seen all around the country.

Easy route to be president in africa:
1. Join the army.
2. Do a coup.
3. Rule for a couple of years.
4. Leave the army and hold election...and contest as a civilian. Do
5. Do unnecessary infrastructures to appease voters.
6. Win the election.
7. Change the constitition to a single party state.
8. Then rule for life if no succeed in removing you via a coup.
Good luck.
Reasons the coup was the best thing that ever happened to Ghana.
housing estates at Adenta, Sakumono, Lashibi, and on the Spintex Road all in Accra and the SSNIT Estates all over the country were constructed during His Era.
There was the smooth, historic transfer of power from the NDC to the NPP.
The creation of District Assemblies’ Common Fund, the GetFund, the Road Fund, the EDIF and the Energy Fund
Ghana’s huge reputation in international peace keeping, coupled with the ability of H. E JJ Rawlings to get the illustrious son of Ghana, Kofi Annan, elected as the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

i enjoyed this video got to know the true story. The story we heard that all Ghana politicians where gather in one room and was killed
Betrayal, like that of Thomas Sankara by his close friend, is o e major cause for failures to progress.
As President Rawlings reminded us shortly before his seemingly sudden transition,
"Something that is worse than an enemy, is a traitor"
He did not lie..
Can't wait for Jerry Rawlings biography episode 2.😃
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁 that's funny, the way you say fa wo to begye golf, meaning bring your.......
As a child I hated Rawlings because my folks told me he was a killer and what what,held onto this indoctrinations till I got to high school and had history as my electives and learnt about the various regimes from Nkrumah to JJ and I realized how things were quite different from what I've been told from childhood,yes Papa j had some shady issues happen during his regime but the man did mean quite well as compared to his army predecessors.
He remains my favourite Ghanaian leader. RIP Papa J.
Seriously!! The best military regime in Ghana would have bee General.Acheampong. Hope you are aware that he would not have allowed the true story to be told whwn he was alive and in power. As some in my ear 50's who lived through his time i will never give him that credit. If he meant well, he would not have staged 31st Dec coup. It just didn't make sense.
@@Kya1942 honestly I've been told of the Acheampong regime as one of the best,so far,I've had 2 people a history teacher and an academician tell me a lil about him but so far the books I've read just kinda outline him as a bad head of state and it's hard finding any other written sources that give unbiased accounts of the Acheampong regime.
Oral accounts except the two mentioned above normally have little to no different stories to tell from the written ones.
General Akuffo made serious mistakes by not arresting and executing JJ Rawlings for coup attempt in 1979 to cause army mutiny.😂😢😮😅.????.
Actually all those lauding Rawlings need to read cpl Mathew Adabuga,s story.
You believe that liar?. That man is a liar. You better read from a credible source.
If only Nigeria had a Jerry Rawlings.
If only.......
We wouldn't have found ourselves in the cesspool of a mess.
You dropped what i wanted to say. Our present problem were born and fed by military men like IBB, Abacha etc.
