  It is clear that the sun is setting on Rawlings and his legacy.As goes Rawlings so goes the December 31st "Revolution" which even amongst NDC members has virtually become a none event and an embarrassment. These remnants of the Rawlings era will slowly fade away into history. Rawlings has seen his stock and influence plunge precipitously over the last 12 months. Worst for him is the fact that the NDC has been able to demonstrate decisively that it can survive ad even flourish without Rawlings.

  You are a very big disgrace. you wasted classroom space that could have been occupied by an intelligent person. Go back and take your school fees, for you gained nothing out of education. Because of your personal hatred for Rawlings, you put out such stupid lies. Your father I'm sure was one of those who run into exile with his booty. Coward, he should have stayed and smelt pepper. Big fool.

  I do not see the difference in intelligence between you and the author you are criticizing. In a democratic system every person has the right to his/her opinion. You can choose to agree or disagree with it. You could have used this opportunity to educate this author better by giving him exemples based on facts instead of insults. A man of few words is the one who uses insults to make a point. 'Respect' my brother.

  You may not like Rawlings the man,but 'Rawlings the Idea' will live on just as Kwame Nkrumah's ideas still lives in our society. It will be nice if you tell the true story of the state in which Ghana was before Rawlings steped up to the political platform so that the young and future generations will learn not to do the same. A revolution is but a change. What you do with it depends on the people, their educational level, their level of understanding and their aspirations. Please tell the whole story so the future generation can learn to appreciate what they have now to enable them to build a better tomorrow.

  KOJO EGYIRI's article is bound to attract followers and hatred much as JJ Rawlings AFRC and his JUNE 4TH 1979 UPRISNG as well as jj RAWLINGS PNDC 31st DEC. 1981 Revolution has come to pass and counted among nation's history . Whatever the criticism his time is over and posterity will judge him of face lift rendered to ghanians and the worst form of abuses he , the his government,PDC,Peoples Court as well as the hellish oppression dashed to Ghanains by Ghana Army and Airforce .I remembered Flight Lt. Owusu Mensah (from AJUMAKO OWANE )and armed troops from TAKORADI AIRFORCE BASE travelled all the way from Takoradi to Ajumako to bully late dad Mark Kwofie then 60 flopped him 24 lashes .Becos of he sells brake fluids above price .
  Same officer accompanied by Cpl. Amoah from EKUMFI ESSAKYIR in Central Region attacked late dad along with GANGS OF ROBBERS FROM GONDAR BARRACKS armed to the teeth and instructed us ( dad and me his son ) to Cape Coast Regional OFFICE . Charged us for hoarding 2 box of Brake Fluid . I sacrified for dad and was flopped 45 lashes with military belt and military cane .while dad ,sisters and brothers including late OPIRIM KWANSAH watched . Same robbers from Ghana ARMY (GONDAR BARRAKS AND TAKORADI AIR FORCE BASE ) armed to the teeth whisked late DAD away to GONDAR BARRAKS to face JJ RAWLINGS PEOPLES COURT chaired by Justice Agyekum. His charge this time was he owns somany homes in Central REGION and so to find how he made his income . Cpl Amoah then at Burma Camp and citizen of Essakyir then the only soldier from Ekumfi Essakyir masterminded the onslaught becos he insist DAD home on his Clan plot was not documented . AND I PROVED THE GANGS OF THIEVES FROM JJ RAWLINGS CAMP WRONG AND DISLODGED THEM AFTER I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF AND FOUGHT THE CASE ALONE WITH THE support of CAPTAIN YANKSON (Yankson family Ajumako )and won the war against JJ RAWLINGG OPPRTESSION AGAINST INNOCENT HARDWORKNG GHANAINS DURING HIS FISRT COUP ..... YEAH I MADE IT TO THE CASTLE , CHALLENGED THE AUTHORITIES AND WON MINE CASE ..... AND TODAY THE MORTGATE is sheltering public workers , officec, and businesses in AJUMAKO, CAPE COAST , EKUMFI ESUOHYIA AND EVEN MANKESSIM .......... THE Bible says the " stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone "" and so posterity will judge JUNKY JERRY RUBBISH (JJRawlings) AND MILITARY RULE IN GHANA
  LONG LIVE DAD MARK KWOFIE FAMILY LONG LIVE RAPHAEL JOE KWOFIE
  Its time 31st Dec. and June 4th anniversary is thrown into gabbage . Ghana is re-born and

  Rawlings is always talking about corruption as if during his long years as the president he was able to enforce his anti-corruption rhetorics.He should stop behaving as if he is the wisest person in the country and that without him there is no Ghana.He should shut up and enjoy his present affluent lifestyle which is at the expense of the majority poor ghanaians.

  The narcissistic Rawlings has no true self. Abandoned by his Scottish father, he suffered from severe separation anxiety as a young child and as a defense developed a falsely grandiose psychological shell surrounding an essentially empty core. He is desperately focused on preserving his image, because he relies upon external support for a lack of internal structures.
  Individuals LIKE RAWLINGS with narcissistic personality disorder generally believe that the world revolves around them. This condition is characterized by a lack of ability to empathize with others(eg. his callous remarks to the BBC after Prez Mills' death) and a desire to keep the focus on themselves at all times(he loves media attention and will do everything to get one, – SUCH AS GATE CRASHING A BIRTHDAY PARTY TO COURT ATTENTION - he does not want to leave the political scene - his appearance at the NDC congress in Kumasi notwithstanding his being sidelined by the Ahwois, Tsikatas, Kofi Awoonor, HIS U-TURN IN SAYING THE NDC WILL WIN 2012 AFTER SAYING THEY WILL LOSE).
  Narcissistic Personality Disorder involves arrogant behavior, a lack of empathy for other people, and a need for admiration(he loves the hero worshipping and superstar status)-all of which must be consistently evident at work and in relationships. People who are narcissistic are frequently described as cocky, self-centered, manipulative, and demanding(wanted to dictate to Kuffour, Mills and now Mahama) . Narcissists may concentrate on unlikely personal outcomes (e.g., fame) and may be convinced that they deserve special treatment. Related Personality Disorders: Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic. Narcissism is a less extreme version of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Narcissism involves cockiness, manipulativeness, selfishness, power motives(constant coup detats), and vanity-a love of mirrors. Related personality traits include: Psychopathy, Machiavellianism.
  Narcissists tend to have high self-esteem. However, narcissism is not the same thing as self-esteem; people who have high self-esteem are often humble, whereas narcissists rarely are. It was once thought that narcissists have high self-esteem on the surface, but deep down they are insecure. However, the latest evidence indicates that narcissists are actually secure or grandiose at both levels. Onlookers may infer that insecurity is there because narcissists tend to be defensive when their self-esteem is threatened (e.g., being ridiculed); narcissists can be aggressive(beating Arkaah and slapping his ministers). The sometimes dangerous lifestyle may more generally reflect sensation-seeking or impulsivity (e.g., risky sex, bold financial decisions, DRUG ABUSE, COUP DETATS, SUPPORTING DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES

  JJ Rawlings is now the richest most powerful criminal in the world.
  
  NO WONDER HIS LT. TONY AIDOO IS NOW THREATING HIM TO REVEAL ALL THE ATTROCITIES JJ RAWLINGS AND HIS HENCHMEN/WOMEN HAVE COMMITTED SINCE JUNE 4TH 1979 TO DATE 2013
  
  However like Pablo Escobar of Colombia {1989) JJ Rawlings will soon face the full rigour of justice in the Haque Law Court.

  No basis for this hollow chaff!! JJ is still relevant in Ghanaian politics. Did you witness the Peace |Accord signed in Kumasi and the ovation given him? Still at the hot bed of the NPP against fuo. Did you witness the endorsement of President Mahama at the congress of NDC in the same hotbed of the NPP, Kumasi? He was an outspoken person there and come to see the following. Your assertions are not backed by any evidence, epirical or otherwise. So we can't believe what yoiu have written here!!
