    With that tiny military size as against the large civilian public, how could the military be going round houses to inspect bottles? Don't mind that liar

    Only few of the society were owning guns in those days.There was only One Radio station (GBC), no Internet, no mobile phones. There will be total chaos which will lead to civil war if it shd happen again.

    The writer should've given Shasha Marley's real name. Not everyone has heard of him including me so it sounds confusing.

    Shasha Marley is a Sekondi/ Takoradi boy and some of us who were around in the 70s as young boys saw what he said with our own naked eyes.Ghana has really travelled a long way.The current generation shd never pray for that ag ...

    He's not in an Examination hall to write a perfect story, he's likely to mix up some of the historic moments. Most of you challenging him are NDC fanatics ashamed of the history of your party.

    The weed has blanket his brain .

  • Kay 1 month ago

    The weed that Rawlings smoked to influence him to put up that animal behaviour is the reason why his immediate and extended families are in turmoil. They are all curses on Zanetor, her siblings & the Agbotuis.

    Useless revolution that enriched some families.

    This is a complete nonsense.... I've never heard that because we were all young guys in those days. Maybe, your dad was one of the corrupt ones.

    That was just an exaggeration. The revolution of 1979
    targeted those who hoarded essential commodities.

    Inconsistency in story. Changed from bottles of soft drink to beer.

    I hope he didn't shash before writing this.

  • Louis 1 month ago

    This is the first time some of us, who were very much grown, are hearing about this type of story during the military regime. But the question is who else, apart from Shasha, can corroborate this story and why did it take Sha ...

    This man reasons like a child.

    Your father was afraid to keep the empty bottles but was brave enough to keep crates of soft drinks in your house?

    Won't the soldiers still beat you for having soft drinks in your house?
