Late JJ Rawlings has caused more harm to Ayigbes but they are afraid to publicly mention it.Many tribes used to live peacefully with Ayigbes b4 JJ came and destroyed that relationship. Ayigbes could move to Akan lands to farm without any fear in those days,but today that goodwill is no more.How come NDC is afraid to pick an Ayigbe as a flagbearer or a running mate?

Silly people! Why do Akans hate Rawlings so much?? Rawlings was the longest reigning Head Of State in Ghana because his predecessors (Gen Afrifa, Dr Busia/Akuffo Addo, Gen Acheampong, Gen Akuffo and the PNP (NPP) government, led by Dr Limann) condoned to ditch the country such that Ghana was no longer in existence in Africa and the world as a whole, so he had a lot to do. This man, Rawlings, sacrifice his life, did what he could, to bring Ghana into existence again. He did so by eliminating the awful criminals in government, mostly the Akans, to achieve his agenda of making Ghana work again. When he was doing all these, the call of the nation was "let the blood flow..., wipe off all the criminals, reset Ghana for us, JJ!!!" How is this 'saviour' supposed to be a murderer? No! Not at all.
Any time this gang of thieves Akan Party, the NPP comes to power, Ghana is doomed. Where is this fugitive Ken Ofori Atta?... I shall continue later

January is the beginning of something bigger ahead for you. Build in silence. Your best budget this year is your "Training & Personal Development Budget".Train for better daily income this year - Start Early, Start Now. Smartphone repair & accessories is one of the few skills that still pays daily, even in hard times. Phones break every day. People fix them the same day, that's money changing hands fast. Many unemployed people, even those with jobs — are learning this skill quietly to support themselves, or gifting the book to train siblings, relatives, or community youths. Many are buying copies to empower others this season, instead of giving other gifts that finish. GET Chukky Oparandu’s guide - it breaks it down clearly for beginners: repairs, flashing, accessories sales — the skill opens doors into IT careers. No big capital. Just a skill you earn from once you apply it. If you’re planning ahead for 2026, this is one move people are already making. Rush now, Search “Chukky Oparandu” on Amazon or visit selar.co/m/chukky (French edition "Gagnez de l'Argent en Réparant des Téléphones & Tablettes" Available!).

They can even put an AK 47 gun in one hand and a Cutlass in another, it will not move anyone. The guy had no impact on Ghanaians in his 19yrs regime.

If truly late JJ Rawlings did very well for Voltarians and for that matter all Ghanaians, he doesn't need a statute or any physical structure to be remembered. His good deed will be deep in the memory of his benefactors.

Nice statue but the volume of the beard is perhaps too much. I remembered him as a man with a grey and not black beard. Also, seeing him in glasses came as a surprise.
