Jerry Rawlings single handedly improved Ghana and the political and economic legacy he created endures to this day . Similar to the good example Seretse Khama set in Botswana. It only takes one greedy evil leader to set the evil trend.
Why are people so wicked and self-centered?? 😥😥😭 Really respected this Rawlings... My Mom, a Nigerian, told me of the history, what he did for Ghana. How Ghanaians fled to Nigeria and other countries during Ghana's economic downturn caused by the corrupt leaders. Nigeria was still having better economy at that time. But it's so painful that Nigeria later turned the same as corrupt leaders continued to evolve and increase also in Nigeria. I weep for many black nations as we have not seen our people and our nations as priority. "We do not have the oath of loyalty and Patriotism." I wish our generation and the coming one will do something about these, like Rawlings did. Respects to that man Rawlings. Was because of his name I clicked on this video. His name rings positively anytime I heard or see it. 😥
Great video as always! I am a Dutch University student, majoring in History and I am really interested in world history. My critique of my education is that it is too focused on mainstream history (so it isn't too Eurocentric necessarily, but we only go indepth on for example Chinese dynasties or Egypt).

There were old African Empires who used to trade with the Arabs from North Africa in the Gold and salt trade. This interaction brought about the islamization of the Sub Sahara areas. Africans who fled Islamic persecution fled and settled along the west African coast until they came into contact with the Europeans after 1470s. The Europeans partition Africa among themselves
I am from the Ghana empire, which as around Mali, Timbuktu. The ruins are still there. Our people moved from Mali to present day Ghana along the coast to escape persecution. Now those along the coast came into contact with European missionaries and converted to Christianity. There was also the songhai empire. Mali Empire etc.. At the horn of Africa too, u had Arab traders going from Somalia and Sudan to, zanzibar (Tanzania) to buy slaves etc. These practices were going on before the Europeans got there.

Jerry Rawlings is so dearly missed by real patriots of Ghana. He was a disciplinarian. Unfortunately, those surrounding him were not so disciplined and would rather the corruption prevail. Africa needs the likes of Nkrumah, Rawlings, Mandela, Gaddafi and other great Africans once again. It's takes force and strong hands to break free from corruption and to truly gain independence.

They only gave the dog a bad name just to kill him. He had only one house which he built in his village with the help of his community, yet he was tagged corrupt. Search well on RUclips and you'll find more truths. The men who live during that time and were involved in what happened are out talking now. The Baah Acheamfours, Akatapores and the Boakye Gyans are all talking. Who was corrupt than JJ. He kills someone for having a WC toilet and buys a jacuzzi for his wife. He kills someone for riding their kids to school in official cars and uses the are aircraft to train his child how to fly plane. Which is more corrupt here. Acheampong did so much for Ghana which for obvious reasons have never been captured in our history books. Ask folks who live around Navrongo about the Tono dam. The estate housing projects were all his initiatives. JJ inherited factories and ended up collapsing all of them. Ghanaians now want to see industries...hahahahaha...Go and ask about what JJ did. I ever saw corned beef, rice and tomato paste produced in Ghana. We had cheap transport system called OSA. Where are they. Ghanaians were working 24/7 so there were jobs oo. Many people don't even know that Acheampong made Ghana drive on the right side. It used to be left.
Ok, for good measure, here's an anecdote. The story goes that one of these mistresses walked into his office looking for a favour of sorts. As she turns to walk out after their discussion, Acheampong then notices her backside. Out of shock, he shouts after her: eih, and you didn't come in walking backwards?
We're currently experiencing the Acheampong Kalabule regime under Akuffo Addo. Massive inflation, numerous strikes, failing currency, poor economy. We have failed Nkrumah and Rawlings.
Please, please, please. The word is Hausa. Kar ka bude. To wits: don't open it. The connotation is of corrupt things done under cover, which should be kept hidden. Kalabule is only a corruption of kar ka bude or kada Ka bude, depending on the variety, just like waakay (beans) has been corrupted by the dominant culture to wakye, or soboro(do) to sobolo. NB: read Prof. Mike Oquaye's Politics in Ghana, 1972 -1979, which has a chapter on kalabule.
Papa J, rest in peace with your Creator. You had good intentions for this beloved country. You would always be remembered as the father of democracy for Ghana

Rawlings delay the development of Ghana. He wasted 20years of our lives. At the end nothing to show for. Killed and terrorised people from what he deemed as corrupt. Himself became corrupt. How can a man who was created yorkegari, was able to afford to send him children abroad for schooling. He really terrorized Ghanaians in that period.

Reading through some comments and it seems some Ghanaians don’t like him. I actually thought y’all will cherish him. I guessed wrong.

It wasn't Rawlings who asked Nigerians to leave Ghana. The Aliens Compliance Order which led to many Nigerians being deported was in 1969. Rawlings' first coup was in 1979.
JJ JJ JJ, U ARE STILL WITH US SPIRITUALY, we know u are very sad no in ur grave seeing whats going on in Ghana today. U will always be remembered in the hearts of the true me
I sincerely hope you do a continuation of this chapter of Ghana's history pertaining to Rawlings. It would be an injustice to the Judges and others he had disappeared and murdered to not show Rawlings for what he actually was.
I've always admired him but it's the second time I read a comment like that about him from a Ghanaian. 😞 I tried to look up online but didn't find much 😞😞
@@fauxgars736 The current Ghana president is killing more people than the military JJ Rawlings did. Youth have been taken from their houses and murdered by police, Journalists are being identified on politicians private television stations to be murdered for good money and they are being murdered and nobody is talking about the current situation rather they are talking about dead Rawlings for their current woes. Acheampong was tagged FA WO TO BEGYE GOLF but now , it's FA WASE BEGYE V- 8 , It was said to be DUMSOR UNDER MAHAMA'S government and now its DUMKORAA.
@@ankuvinyoh7100 i know it can not be unanimous but I'm a little shocked. There is a video of him directing traffic jam that he was stuck into in a city in Ghana and you can tell people love him calling him "papa J" he cleared the way without security and all and you can see how his people love and respect him.
As a Ghanaian he is the cause of the woes Ghanaians have gone through since his emergence in the political sphere. From killing prominent and successful Ghanaians out of hatred and jealousy to collapsing state enterprises, this Rawlings destroyed the life of many with his comic mantra of probity and accountability but yet introduce an indemnity clause in the Constitution to avoid accountability and worse of all sold a state company to his own wife. Stop decieving your self to make him a hero because he himself admitted his party members were more corrupt than those he murdered in his uprising. Surprisingly, his charismatic nature and populism is able to win loyalty from ignorant Ghanaians.
@@akwesiaugustine2732 Probably in your opinion l guess, The current Ghana debt stands at 55.1 Billion dollars. And you blaming a dead man ? Get real Mr Akwasi Augustine
As a child I hated Rawlings because my folks told me he was a killer and what what,held onto this indoctrinations till I got to high school and had history as my electives and learnt about the various regimes from Nkrumah to JJ and I realized how things were quite different from what I've been told from childhood,yes Papa j had some shady issues happen during his regime but the man did mean quite well as compared to his army predecessors. He remains my favourite Ghanaian leader. RIP Papa J.
Seriously!! The best military regime in Ghana would have bee General.Acheampong. Hope you are aware that he would not have allowed the true story to be told whwn he was alive and in power. As some in my ear 50's who lived through his time i will never give him that credit. If he meant well, he would not have staged 31st Dec coup. It just didn't make sense.
@@Kya1942 honestly I've been told of the Acheampong regime as one of the best,so far,I've had 2 people a history teacher and an academician tell me a lil about him but so far the books I've read just kinda outline him as a bad head of state and it's hard finding any other written sources that give unbiased accounts of the Acheampong regime. Oral accounts except the two mentioned above normally have little to no different stories to tell from the written ones.
I wish second JJ Rawlings should rise up today and rescue us. We're living like refrigees 💔in our own kingdom 😭 The leadership today are all blood suckers 🌚 😭 and pocket feeders 💔

@naad1225with the 19 years he had he restored this country to the longest constitutional rule in Ghana's history.
It wasn't Rawlings who asked Nigerians to leave Ghana. The Aliens Compliance Order which led to many Nigerians being deported was in 1969. Rawlings' first coup was in 1979.
Thank you, will you do a part 2?
This is a true hero, but unfortunately heroes don't last forever. We wish for more noble men like you. Rest in peace 🙏 🪦
Great work African Biographics. The Ghanaian story has been well summarised.
Such a Great leader and Mother Ghana really miss you
JJ JJ JJ, U ARE STILL WITH US SPIRITUALY, we know u are very sad no in ur grave seeing whats going on in Ghana today. U will always be remembered in the hearts of the true me
Can't wait for Jerry Rawlings biography episode 2.😃
I sincerely hope you do a continuation of this chapter of Ghana's history pertaining to Rawlings. It would be an injustice to the Judges and others he had disappeared and murdered to not show Rawlings for what he actually was.
I've always admired him but it's the second time I read a comment like that about him from a Ghanaian. 😞 I tried to look up online but didn't find much 😞😞
@@fauxgars736 The current Ghana president is killing more people than the military JJ Rawlings did. Youth have been taken from their houses and murdered by police, Journalists are being identified on politicians private television stations to be murdered for good money and they are being murdered and nobody is talking about the current situation rather they are talking about dead Rawlings for their current woes. Acheampong was tagged FA WO TO BEGYE GOLF but now , it's FA WASE BEGYE V- 8 , It was said to be DUMSOR UNDER MAHAMA'S government and now its DUMKORAA.
@@ankuvinyoh7100 i know it can not be unanimous but I'm a little shocked. There is a video of him directing traffic jam that he was stuck into in a city in Ghana and you can tell people love him calling him "papa J" he cleared the way without security and all and you can see how his people love and respect him.
As a Ghanaian he is the cause of the woes Ghanaians have gone through since his emergence in the political sphere. From killing prominent and successful Ghanaians out of hatred and jealousy to collapsing state enterprises, this Rawlings destroyed the life of many with his comic mantra of probity and accountability but yet introduce an indemnity clause in the Constitution to avoid accountability and worse of all sold a state company to his own wife. Stop decieving your self to make him a hero because he himself admitted his party members were more corrupt than those he murdered in his uprising. Surprisingly, his charismatic nature and populism is able to win loyalty from ignorant Ghanaians.
@@akwesiaugustine2732 Probably in your opinion l guess, The current Ghana debt stands at 55.1 Billion dollars. And you blaming a dead man ? Get real Mr Akwasi Augustine
This is what we need in Nigeria
We need this across Africa!!!! I’m Ghanaian we need it more than ever
As a child I hated Rawlings because my folks told me he was a killer and what what,held onto this indoctrinations till I got to high school and had history as my electives and learnt about the various regimes from Nkrumah to JJ and I realized how things were quite different from what I've been told from childhood,yes Papa j had some shady issues happen during his regime but the man did mean quite well as compared to his army predecessors.
He remains my favourite Ghanaian leader. RIP Papa J.
Seriously!! The best military regime in Ghana would have bee General.Acheampong. Hope you are aware that he would not have allowed the true story to be told whwn he was alive and in power. As some in my ear 50's who lived through his time i will never give him that credit. If he meant well, he would not have staged 31st Dec coup. It just didn't make sense.
@@Kya1942 honestly I've been told of the Acheampong regime as one of the best,so far,I've had 2 people a history teacher and an academician tell me a lil about him but so far the books I've read just kinda outline him as a bad head of state and it's hard finding any other written sources that give unbiased accounts of the Acheampong regime.
Oral accounts except the two mentioned above normally have little to no different stories to tell from the written ones.
General Akuffo made serious mistakes by not arresting and executing JJ Rawlings for coup attempt in 1979 to cause army mutiny.😂😢😮😅.????.
I wish second JJ Rawlings should rise up today and rescue us.
We're living like refrigees 💔in our own kingdom 😭
The leadership today are all blood suckers 🌚 😭 and pocket feeders 💔
I WISH THE SAME!!!
We all wish the same
It won’t be long. Sooner or later,
It’s happening live, Sooner or LATER,
Second Rawlings should rise and kill innocent people?
Thank you so much!
JJ Rawlings is the best ever you man for Ghana
Do an episode on John Akah Blehmeza.
Thank you for this historical summary my woken brother
Do you have a video of captain tsikata
Hi, my name is Frank from Kenya. I must say, i love your work and the voice over guy is great! Love watching these African documentaries. Keep up the good work.
Thanks you very much for your brilliant analysis of the Ghanians history. Theirs history is similar to that of my country LIBERIA History, the Ghanians are far better off than my Country Liberia now. They have buried theirs ugly past they are forging ahead unless Liberia
Thanks so much I have learnt a lot
GOOD 👍 DOCUMENTARY .. GOOD JOB .
He will always be a Ghanaian and African hero! RIP Legend Rawlings
Well researched piece of work..Good job👏🏾
Nice video
Rawlings coup made Ghana what Ghana is today, a very stable country without coups. Respect JJ you gave Ghana the best!
We need it in Cameroon. We would benefit enough
I don't understand why you guys can't stop Biya and his criminal gangs for almost half a century
Truth is same is the only solution to Nigeria’s problems at this moment and it’s the prayer of most Nigerians that someone can have the will to do such.
Many Ghanaians use to sing a song called “J.J do something before you die”
You got a new subscriber. I love African/Jewish/world/original... history. Thanks
If only Nigeria had a Jerry Rawlings.
If only.......
We wouldn't have found ourselves in the cesspool of a mess.
You dropped what i wanted to say. Our present problem were born and fed by military men like IBB, Abacha etc.
"Take it Easy"? This is what the entire Africa needs as ruthless as it is, to deal with ruthless people you must be more ruthless or you are playing to lose
TRUE TALK, BRO!!
RIP to the greatest hero of the land Africa ❤
A great narrative.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁 that's funny, the way you say fa wo to begye golf, meaning bring your.......
