Oh where is Konadu Agyeman Rawlings? These days we don't hear from her since the ABUJA CONFESSION. She is not insulting the president again, why? She must RUN AWAY FROM STONES because she is in a GLASS HOUSE.

Dr, why worry yourself about this betrayal and a traitor of his own tribes people? A very wicked man who has turned against his own people after they have done everything to sustain him for all these years. Yes, the gods of the entire Volta region have given him up. It's just a matter of time that this wicked and selfish traitor hang himself. Just look at him. The equally greedy wife has now taken control over him. I can't tell if it is ( gbortemi) that she has cooked for him to eat.This is the guy we suffered to protect even at the peril of our lives. Today, this ungrateful being called Rawlings is the best friend of Akufo Addo, a man who single handed striped him of all the protocols thst he deserves as a former president, to the annoyance of many of us who are his followers. Dr, do not waste your precious time on such a big time traitor. To many of us who were so closer to him, we knew all along that he is not clean as he always wants Ghanaians to believe. Thank God, we did not say it. He is telling Ghanaians himself. It always pays to be nice to people on your way up since it is the same people you meet when coming down. Dr. don't waste your time on him. I urge Gen.Buhari to demand the money with interest from him. Ungrateful traitor. Maybe the NPP can help him pay it. Tweaaaa.

Bokor, read me well today and do some reflections.Bokor, you must fell ashamed, truly i. e. assuming you are a rational human being.

The episode you have recounted is a disgrace to all what Rawlings stood for and his cohorts including you.

I have likened NPP/ NDC struggles to Jehovah/ Satan situation.

NDC have thrived all these years under false pretenses. NPP are true & genuine & have nothing to hide.

Posterity will clearly condemn NDC. NPP will rather be hailed for standing firm and consistently throughout the ages.

NDC is always hiding somethings . Even the present Mahama govt is struggling hard to hide its inadequacies, lies, bribes, deals, ethnocentric nature etc fearing to be exposed, trying hard to conceal the rotten iceberg.

Jehovah wins in the end. NPP will similarly triumph in the end.

NDC will continue to be exposed, exposed and exposed.

Bokor, I was with Rawlings up to 1989. I saw he was a fake. I withdrew my support from him and NDC. Bokor, maybe you are the next

Indeed npp has nothing to hide except for K4's corrupt nature, Nana's lack of admission to tell the nation what happened to our drill ship, and whether he was qualified to practice law. Corruption in all forms and shape causes damage to countries, and we Ghanaians are aware that both parties are corrupt. Npp would not be different from NDC in government. Where is the credibility if exposed corrupt Rawlings tell us Nana is not corrupt. Some of us would only take that with a pinch of salt because Nana is not squeaky clean as some would have us believe. You can jump ship, but l believe the good Dr would stay to help improve on things. Sail on my brother! Sail on.

Listen you all J.J. followers. I knew J.J. was corrupt many many years ago. When Nana Konadu bought Nsawam Cannery for a whopping 10 million US dollars. And when J.J's children were educated in the United States. The cost involved to educate your child in U.S. University for international students is well over $90,000.00 per student. How could Rawlings and wife Konadu afford those undertakings on their salaries? You Rawlings admires are simply blinded by tribalism or sheer ignorance to the highest degree.
Kuffuor's son ability to secure a 3 million U.S. dollars to purchase a hotel is questionable. Either the son got the loan by flying on his father's tail coat. Or father Kuffuor bought the hotel in his son's name. Either is in the name of corruption.
In my book, "most" politicians in Ghana is corrupt. My worry is that, this J.J. you now calling a traitor shot and killed others my simply using their influence as military Leaders to secure $50,000.00 genuine means.
I graduated in American College in 1989. I cannot locate my degree since the past 10 years after moving to different addresses. What is wrong if Akuffo Ado cannot find his certificate? You people grasp on anything to bang on because you lost and or have no substance of direction to build a "better Ghana" as you claim.
I have ever knew NDC and their cohorts as CORRUPT to the worst degree. NDC is the worse Ghana's nightmare. NDC has been Ghana's economical downfall. Rawlings collapsed many genuine businesses including Apino Soap, Tata Brewery to mention only two out of hatred to successful business people. And many you ignorants followed like blind men.
I hope all of you would arise beyond tribalism and put Ghana first. As corrupt as Kuffuor could be be. NDC is 80% more corrupt than any government in our history in my book. And the worse government in our Nation's history. NDC has crippled Ghana's progress.
I, including thousands of Ghanaians in diaspora paid $200.00 fee for Dual Citizenship fee. Only for NDC received the fees and sat on our applications since Atta Mills era.
Could anyone imagine hoow many businesses some of us could have possibly established in Ghana, to create employment for Ghanaians?
I compare NDC followers to Donald Trump followers. You are blinded by hatred of the other side or lack the intelligence to appreciate the good of the other side. Yet you claim to love your country? Or you are just foolish in your judgement.

DID RAWLINGS SAY NANA WAS INCORRUPTIBLE? WOULD HE, EXPECTING THE PROTECTION OF A NANA PRESIDENCY, BE LAYING GOODS GROUNDS AGAINST DISCOVERY AND PUNISHMENT? THE BLOOD OF THE MURDERED INNOCENT IS STILL CRYING FOR REDEMPTION. A RAWLINGS CONFESSION OF GUILT, MAYBE, WOULD HAVE PREVENTED ALL THAT IS HAPPENING. BUT, TELL ME, WHO, AMONG ALL OF US, IS COMPLETELY INNOCENT? IT IS JUST THAT OUR CUPBOARDS ARE YET TO BE OPENED.

Why Rawlings has conveniently become pariah among the likes of Bokor is not strange. But what can they say about Mahama and his Ford Expedition 'bribe?' Does it not sink Mahama as well? Come again good doctor.

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(PHYSICALLY MALHANDLED VP ARKAAH, 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. Narcissism involves cockiness, manipulativeness, selfishness, power motives(constant coup detats), and vanity-a love of mirrors.
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).

Looks like you're beginning to wake up from your deep slumber. See how now you cannot defend Rawlings anymore because 'he's been caught pants down' as we say in Ghana. The man has never been sincere even with his so-called REVOLUTION. This is something any objective writer will see but not you from the Volta Region. He, Rawlings, must apologize to all Ghanaians for he deceiving us.

Rawlings is not a credible person and has been labeling others corrupt. He is more corrupt and Kofi Adams must be ashamed of himself for attacking late Mills for probity and accountability he professed as the bedrock of the NDC. Today his former boss has shown that he was doing otherwise and must all be ashamed of themselves.

Bokor, I've always maintained that the fact that you studied English at school does not predispose you to wisdom. Most of us have seen through Rawlings a long time ago, but you on the other hand have been singing his praises when there is none. Have you just smelt the coffee? Instead you have been lambasting Akufo-Addo at every turn. Where is your die hard nyebroism? Why don't you continue defending him? In the same vain we have been drumming the corruption infested NDC founded by your erstwhile hero Rawlings, even he himself had been vocal about it but you Bokor feigned deafness! Now are you going to turn your back on him? No no noo. You are just as much guilty as he is and must therefore go down with him. Be a man and admit you've always bet on the wrong horse. Open your eyes to the current corruption that has engulfed Mahama and the NDC party!!
