A lot of people tend to celebrate Rawlings because the optics are good. Yes, he came to power via a millitary coup detat but left as an elected civilian president. He stressed financially judicious policies, struck down on corruption and overall actually did more to develop Ghana than anyone since Nkrumah.

But these actions do not make one a Revolutionary. A revolutionary challenges and attempts to change a system in place that oppreses or otherwise subjucates. Rawlings never tried to change the system in place, in fact he only wanted to make the preexisting system “better", and like I stated, some of his policies ended up hurting Ghana badly down the line.

At the crux of it, he either lacked the balls to challenge the West (like a certain Nelson Mandela) or simply just had great ideas but not a transcendental leader by visionary proclivities (Haile Selassie etc). Thus there's little to no chance why the West will ever see him as a threat. It's not like Rawlings was actively challenging for African control over commodity prices, the debt trap of Neo-colonialism or any other facets which represent the continued domination of Africa and Africans by the West.

In my opinion, Rawlings is so overrated, I guess he has a really good PF team. As individuals like Murtala Mohammed, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Ken Sawo-Wiwa, Winnie Mandela, Steve Biko, Robert Saboukwe and Amilcar Cabral deserve far greater credit and adulation than JJ Rawlings.
My opinion though

A fight with the West is very unproductive and counter progressive.. That's something to really understand. Your fight with them can only be won if you steadily appoint incorruptible strategic thinkers as leaders for a long stretch of time. Avoid loans and grants! A focused military regime or dictators are the only two sets of governance that can reset a country like ours.

You started well and ended so badly by even mentioning any Nigeria person name at all....
WTF!!!!

Mtcheew

dfrost:


I guess you meant PR team.

Murtala Mohammed - X
Chief Obafemi Awolowo - X regional leader
Ken Sawo-Wiwa - X - regional interests
Winnie Mandela - lost it at some point, I won't blame her though
Steve Biko, Robert Saboukwe and Amilcar Cabral - deserve to be mentioned with NM

But like you said, your opinion. I respect that.

Thomas Sankara - A man/force that was stopped

Nigeria is yet to have such leaders that are truly selfless.

Thank you my brother...you've said it all.

May God multiply your wisdom

This is what people can post when data becomes cheap.

Rawlings controlling traffic

This man is not afraid to get his hands dirty. I remember him entering into a stinky gutter in ashaiman with a shovel to desilt it. I was in class 5. I can still remember that day like it was yesterday... hahaa

wahala for who dey wait for buratai to plot coup against buhari

samuel19222:
Rest in Power senior man

Who be Buhari near j Rawlings for military action


Meanwhile this officer in red marking resembles Thomas Sankara or is he the one?

Yeh.. That's him. The two of them were really close. They both had the same mindset. Most people now do not know that during their rule, they planned to unify Ghana and Burkina Faso into a single country. This is a fact.

LikeAking:
Nigeria is cursed. We will never have a great man like this.

Obasanjo would have equalled him but for his cunny nature

slawormiir:
Damnnn niggarrrr
It is obvious he was a real niggarrrr

seunmohmoh:

Olodo

Ghana has a great yet controversial leader in Rawlings. Rest Easy Jerry.

maximusprime2000:
how come he look more handsome when old than when young

He aged with grace

Another fact...
He, Robert Mugabe,Kwame Nkrumah and other past Ghanaian leaders are alumni of the same secondary school. Achimota School in Ghana. Peace

airsaylongcom:

Rawlings wey smoke cigarette like chimney.

Did he die young?

Obasanjo loot plenty money na? And He didn't fight corruption.

Your Nigeria could be cursed but mine is blessed.

Deceive your self.

Timsilver:


Did he die young?

No. But he didn't live a healthy life was my point. Maybe eugenics. But definitely not healthy lifestyle

Nigeria is just a name of a country with people in it.....so if Nigeria is cursed, then it mean the people is cursed which exclude me and includes you

you spoke a lot of English that any non discerning individual would think you made sense.

Every country doesn't have the necessary characteristics to challenge world powers. What commodity does Ghana export the most in the world to actually challenge U.S?

yes that is sankara

This is one of the great men that stood against corruption and won.
pls tell mr integrity(bubu)/ buhari not to campaign against corruption in his life again because himself is corrupt by appointing SADIYA UMAR FAROUQ as a minister.
