Cold blooded killer, just shut the fuck off.
The Great ancestors of Africa, the mother of all continents and the youth of Africa must be proud with JJ's ststement. Long live Africa.
Look at this Trokosi disappointed European trying to fool the world. Ofui, you think holding on to a country for 20 years is called Freedom. No wonder you are an admirer of Mugabe. Nkwaseafuo dictators.
Rather dwell in the desert than a contentious woman,consider 20years of dictatorship rule to what we are experiencing in Ghana today, the so called democratic rule,lack of transparency,bullying,corruption,just a little over ...

JJ RAWLLINGS, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE TO SNOWDEN/ASSANGE IF THEY WERE UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE GHANAIANS BETWEEN 1979-1992?

MR GBESHIE PLEASE BE CAREFUL. THEY WILL POUR INSULTS ON YOU AND HOUND YOU.
Obviously Rawlings has a message that can be summed up in one paragraph. What we see is repetitive hoopla that undermines the power of his observations. He needs a better speech writer!
Rawlings should thank his stars that he can still sleep on his bed after killing a lot of people by firing squad with no reason, and now he has the guts to point fingers and make reference to human rights and justice, just sh ...

My friend stop your too-known. There is absolutely nothing wrong about the composition and substance of that speech. When it gets to your turn you can go and write yours and present it the way you want - in one paragraph.
HE IS TALKING DOWN AT AMERICA AND GLORYFIYING FIDEL CASTRO AND SOUTH AMERICA AND EVERYONE THAT HATE AMERICA

"HOLY SPIRIT" GUARD THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA AND AFRICANS. JJ RAWLINGS I LOVE YOU BUT MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Rawlings seems to be making some interesting observations and pronouncement, esp. on the international scene, he however seems lost on the whole gist of America's quest to arrest Edward Snowden, who is a traitor. Rawlings sho ...

Tell them! Freedom is the answer.
America needs to be told.
Good job honourable JJ
Rawlings is and would remain one of the greatest revolutionary of our time. He is an African Stateman and his speeches and utterances shake the hypocrites.
Long live JJ

I like the way Rawlings has exposed the West's double standards.
They are truly hypocrites. They oppress their citizens and yet blame Africa leaders.

This is the kind of brains and men we need to lead this continent
Shut up J.J.leave that to the intellecturals not you semi illeterate drop out self made politician .This topic is too deep for you to poke your nose into.Get lost
I find it interesting that Rawlings didn't metion Kwame Nkrumah.
Unipolar world, bipolar world - all show that the Nonalignment policies of Kwame Nkrumah was the right one. The post-Snowden world reflects that.
