Kofi Awoonor did not help JJ Rawling in the 1970s. He helped Brigadier K.K. Joy Online is re-producing a story from a newspaper, trying to make some changes and getting it all wrong!
Why bring that hateful tribalistic home? Did anybody bring BB Bismack home? The tribal bigot who provided the hatred ideology and justification for the confiscation and destruction of Akan businesses met a deserving end. Alah ...

Awoonor may have been arrested for other activity. Rawlings did not show up until after the Union Government fiasco and palace coup by General Akuffo, which overthrew the SMC led by Gen Achiampong, in 1978.

He was trokosi high priest. He has misled Ewes in thinking Trokosi was the best culture. Ewes are now free to join the civilised world by getting rid of trokosi
NO MORE TROKOSI

I have always proclaimed that, this NEMESIS idiot is not a Nigerian but a trokosi. These trokosis patriotism lie with Togo and not Ghana and NEMESIS is a true reflection of what the trokosis are.
his tribal bigotry landed him in the hands in al shabab
And your will land you in HELLLLLLLLLLL.
Awoonor tried to knock our heads together but we refused to be driven in that direction. Ghanaians are actually more intelligent than we normally get credit for!
Your evil Nigerians are moving in their numbers to Kumasi. Why don't you stay away Kumasi if you know Asantis are haters. Instead, Nigerians are streaming into Asanti like water falls.

It is Nigeria that every five minutes someone is murdered. Go and solve your Nigerian problems. You are also a problem to Africa's development . Big Thieves in Africa are the Nigerians. The killing capital of Africa.
You are a trokosi, no doubt about it and Cardinal is right. Any fool can come up with a name.
He was too limited to see beyond Wheta. How can anyone else, apart from the people of Wheta, be proud of Awoonor when his life was about the destruction of Ghana? By his active campaign against the rest of Ghana, this man r ...

The guy is tied with JJ Rawlings in the 70s and JJ have a lot of blood on his hand by using al-shaabab machine gun to overthrow the government, so what is the big deal if his kill by terrorist. JJ rawlings is next ......
You are older than most of the people who come but instead of calming down political nerves, here you are stoking tribal embers as usual!
Andy-K tone down.You are beyond reproach.
Thanks.
Ben you have rightfully hit the nail on the head. The man was a tribal monster and it shows from his writings and utterances. He incited other tribes especially Ewes against akans, notably, Ashantis. Those terrorists have no ...

Prof, RIP
This man might have been the hidden engine of hatred between the Ashantis and Ewes. Well it is now for GOD to do his work.
Majority of you Awoonor and Ewe bashers are just pretending or ignorant of the facts that Ashantis have done more harm to the Ewes than the other way round. Ewes always help Ashantis, but in return the Ashantis always destroy ...

MARRIED TO AN ASHANTI, SO? FEEBLE MINDER. WASN'T RAWLINGS MARRIED TO AN ASHANTI? WRITE SENSIBLY IN FUTURE. HE CAN ROT IN HELL FOR ALL I CARE
So what? There are ku klux klan members with Jewish wives and girlfriends but that did not stop them from hating them.
WELL WRITTEN. AWOONOR DIED THE SAME WAY HE PRESCRIBED FOR OTHERS. GOD PUNISH HIS SOUL MERCILESSLY.
The dose he prescribed for Afrifa was the wright medicine. He killed Arthur and Yeboah to hide his sins. Go ask the relatives of Arthuir and Yeboah who killed their children. You are an idiot who knows nothing about Afrifa.
I hope you know what you are talking about. It seems to me that you in particcular have no clue about what human life means. Professor Awoonor, was a great man. Get it. You will never come close to what he has done for Ghana, ...

AMEDOME AND UTUKA WERE GAS OR AKANS. THIS IS UNFOUNDED AND YET SEE HOW BITTER YOU SOUND. CAN'T WE ADORE SUCCESS IN THIS LAND?
As in life, Kofi Awoonor's death is also cloaked in controversy. Definitely not a statesman.
So you are confirming that Prof Awoonor alone is more intelligent than the whole of 10 million Akans put together?
blame we Americans in your grave
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.NOW IS THE TIME OF ACCOUNTABILITY BEFORE GOD.
So your death will be the result of what you sow,and if it's a punishment you will suffer same.
WHY IS THE GHANA REVOLUTION NOT LISTED IN AWOONOR'S LITERARY WORKS?
I DID NOT FIND IT IN THE LIST
Never in the History of a Nation,
Has the Demise of One Citizen,
Brought So Much Joy,
To So Many Fellow Citizens.
WHEN NKRUMAH DIED THERE WAS MORE JOY. THE OSAGYUEFO HIMSELF. AS FOR THIS ONE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE. JUST SAYING THINGS WITHOUT ANY PROOF AND DEGRADING FELLOW COUNTRYMEN. PLEASE STOP IT.
AND NKRUMAH WAS FINALLY OVER VINDICATED AND BEING WORSHIPED FOR HIS UNEQUALLED HEROIC ACHIEVEMENTS.
When Kwame Nkrumah, the greatest Ghanaian to have ever lived, died his political opponents did not mourn his death. However, it is equally true that neither did his passing bring joy to the hearts of those who opposed his pol ...

Kofi Awoonor brought all this on to himself. The divide and rule tactics have caught up with him, even in his grave.
Awoonor was imprisoned under the Kutu Acheampong regime on a coup plot allegation and not because of the Rawlings's engineered coup plot of 1979
He smuggled Ex Capt kojo Tsikata to the Togo border in 1976 when Gen Acheampong was looking for Tsikata to finish him for plotting an attempted coup
may him RIP
Historical untruth isn the statement that he was arrested soon after 1975 for allegedly tring to help Rawlings organize a coup. He was arrested during the Kutu Acheampong era for allegedly joining Kojo Tsikata and others to o ...

Prof. you are still alive in our hearts.May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace.
it is unfortunate your coward son did not think of protecting you in time of danger ; he left you alone whether you could run or not .now I know one should not count on his children in case of Danger.
Was thinking the same. The son lied about how it happened. He said by the time he got out of the car, the father has already entered the mall, unbelievable. A 78 year old walked faster to the mall and left his son outside? ...
