    Rawlings should have been in prison by now. The strangest thing is that we have people who support him. Those who support him will share in his murder on the judgement day. God bless Ghana

  • McCord 10 years ago

    Ghanaians are cowards and that is why Rawlings is still living and insulting our sensibilities. This fool should have been trialed and shot like he did others.

  • Akadu Mensema 10 years ago

    Yep!

  • HELL FIRE 10 years ago

    WHERE IS THIS NOTOROUS GYIMI GYIMI MAN HIDING? I AM TOLD HE IS IN GHANA. WHY DIDN'T HE COME OUT TO CELEBRATE JUNE 4TH WITH HIS MASIER JJ. HAS HE NOW REALIZED HIS FOLLY? HIS TIME IS YET TO COME

  • ZAMIA N22 LONDON 10 years ago

    VULTURES WILL EAT THE MORTALS REMAINS OF RAWLINGS IN FUTURE. RAWLINGS IS A DISGRACE TO HUMANITY, HIS DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

  • Gye Nyame 10 years ago

    Well said Sarpong. JJ is just a big time thief, that is all. He had no brains to make his own money so was jealous -- now he has milked Ghana to become a millionaire, fighting over lands etc.

  • ILLITERATE SARPONG 10 years ago

    What an Illiterate who see nothing good from the June-4? A kalabuley son of a bush Rat like Aponkye Srapong will continue to seek asylum in the US.

    June-4 Transformed Ghana no matter who ever got killed or survived. You we ...

    Your Rawlings is a thief period.

  • ILLITERATE SARPONG 10 years ago

    Schadenfreude NOT 'schdenfreude'. This is the second time you have this word written wrong and used it wrongly.

    Stop using words you have no clue, you clueless Illiterate!!

    what is 'schdenfreude Rawlings'? Fool!!

  • Alexander, UK 10 years ago

    I concur with you. The use of 'schdenfreude' is wrong.The spelling too is wrong.

  • McCord 10 years ago

    The problem is you two UK based fools have no idea the meaning of the word.

  • ILLITERATE SARPONG 10 years ago

    another illiterate, Im not surprised Sarpong will be using this McCord moniker....hahahaha

  • Kafui 10 years ago

    Hehehehehe, your Rawlings is an arm robber.

  • american 10 years ago

    Want me to google it for you, dumb fucking african? The word, when spelled correctly, means pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. Do you now understand why the use of that word is idiotic within the context of this ...

    That aptly describes Rawlings who derives pleasure from the suffering of rich people he hates but strives to be one which he has achieved through corruption.

  • PRINCE 10 years ago

    The word aptly describes Rawlings to a "T".

  • Concerned Ghanaian 10 years ago

    Exactly.

  • BRAVEBOY 10 years ago

    Well said, yet I don't feel any pain for those who suffered because you will have to know what Ghana was in those days. Calabola was prime and respect and patriotism was non- existence. NO ONE DESERVES PRAISE AND NO ONE DESER ...

  • BRAVEBOY 10 years ago

    You selectively removed some bad names to make your point. WHERE IS ACHEAMPONG, AFRIFA, AKUFU ADDO. EVERYONE WAS BAD IN THOSE DAYS. SIMPLE.

  • BRAVEBOY 10 years ago

    I meant to write Frederick W.K. Akuffo and Akuffo Addo.

  • ILLITERATE SARPONG 10 years ago

    Aponkye Srapong is an illiterate so he needs that lecture from you.

  • Akadu Mensema 10 years ago

    Most of lived the Rawlings era so don't come here telling us such nonsense!

  • BRAVEBOY 10 years ago

    And where do you think I lived then. The honest truth is that Ghanaians are hypocrites. I don't feel sorry for thieves who die fighting each other. Is that not clear enough for you?

  • ILLITERATE SARPONG 10 years ago

    BRAVE BOY, this too much of a lesson for this Bigot, Akorang she/he. A man-woman also seeking asylum in the USA.

  • KK 10 years ago

    You are an illiterate indeed.

    THIS TOO MUCH OF A LESSON?

  • Akadu Mensema 10 years ago

    Barima Sarpong! Mo ne kasa pa. W'ano atew s3 akoo! The Rawlings' nonsense should stop!

  • BRAVEBOY 10 years ago

    I never said what he wrote was wrong, just he did not go far enough. Children need to know all the true not half true.

  • ILLITERATE SARPONG 10 years ago

    You have a poem tomorrow so what? You have shown up what you are made of, a bigoted bush rat.

  • Shamu 10 years ago

    If not because of Rawlings, all this people writing this nonsense would not have been alive. It was Rawlings, the best and only messenger sent to Ghana to put everything in order to save life of his own citizens. Rawling comi ...

    It will seem that there are more idiots in Accra than any other part of Ghana, because it is only in Accra that people, most of whose relations suffered in one way or the other under the armed robbery of June 4 1979, will par ...
