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

Thank God you said your opinion.
Your opinion it's. Go and read how bad Ghana had it during the 90s and you will know that even as a military coup leader he had an ideology to get Ghana on track. Yes those name you mentioned deserve more recognition than they are given if only they looked beyond their kins.

The mail trump supports got.

The Chinese government has temporarily suspended entry into China by Nigerians and other nationals in Nigeria holding valid Chinese visas or residence permits.

This new order is due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Embassy of China and Consulate in Nigeria announced this in a public notice on Thursday, adding that it will no longer issue a certified health declaration form for non-Chinese nationals in the country.

According to the communique, entry by holders of diplomatic, service, courtesy or C visas will not be affected.

Foreign nationals visiting China for emergency needs may apply for visas at the Chinese Embassy or Consulate.

Also, entry by non-Chinese nationals in Nigeria with visas issued after 3 November 2020 will not be affected.

The Chinese authorities said the suspension is a temporary response necessitated by the current situation of Covid-19.

According to the statement, the above-mentioned measures will be assessed in accordance with the evolving situation and any adjustment will be announced accordingly.

Arrewa:
Ipob terrorists!

That's how Bokoharam started like freedom fighters.

Attacking the government and freeing prisoners!

People were happy that Bokoharam are there to fight for the poor.

Back then they were only after corrupt politicians in Borno.

Before they they started killing security operatives when some of their members were being killed by security agents.

They started going after Christians and burning churches.

Some bigots were then happy... That Bokoharam was there to defend Islam while some people shed tears that their love ones are being killed just because of their faith.

From Christians they started coming for Muslims...

That's how Bokoharam metaphorsed into a full time blood sucking beasts!

They start killing and displacing their own people!

Before Borno worrors rise and form civilian JTF to help the military in the fight against insurgency!

The war has been going on for 11yrs now!

Igbos are playing with fire!

This beast they are feeding today will turn around to consume them tomorrow!

Biafra is an ideology just like Bokoharam.

They don't need money to fight!

They only need motivation and sponsorship!

Now they are attacking Muslims and security agents...

Their people are happy and supporting them to fight Islam and the government

E go backfire

Keep spreading hate have you people answered for the killing during the 80s. Or have you forgotten so soon. If anything happen to the unit of this country you guys will suffer a heavy for more. Use ur time to promote peace ✌️

FisifunKododada:
Another LekkiMassacre lie EXPOSED!

It could be cover up.

elvischukie:
pained

Must everything be about pain here. Wow i was pointing the obvious.

elvischukie:
please I can't find infinix and tecno on the list

Didn't you see others?

ivolt:
It is obvious to even the reasonable blind that no live ammunitions were fired into the crowd. If that happened, we would see the results. The fake "massacre" was a political con job by extremist but myopic propagandists.

Was a political. Hahaha

BeLookingIDIOT:
Nothing has changed,you ipobs are still the reason all that carnage happened. You created mass panic by being the origin of most of the fake news of a so-called Lekki massacre which didn't happen.

Why did the army come to a protest ground. If they were not there how will the fake news thrive?

Okoroawusa:
To come back and do what?

Falz is now the IGP...he will protect you.

If the army wasn't at the protest ground we wont be here now.

BetBuilder365:
I admire jj's courage.These so called stars are pawns for total control. They dont even know what they are doing

How can you say this if the army wasn't at the protest would all this happen?

funkybroyouknow:
People are blaming celebrities but forgetting that had Army not shot at protesters in Lekki all the looting and rioting would never have happened

Thats just the real truth. Some people are paid to do this.

ibedun:
Where is the stupid ugly IPOB agaracha (DJ SWITCH preek) who raised the alarm with her ABA FAKE NEWS?

Because they don’t and can NEVER have anything close to Lagos in their potopoto land!

Why call it fake news wasn't the army at the protest ground. Even they came to restore peace and order wjy should they use live rounds. Ask your self this question. They made it possible for fake news to thrive. Now we are blaming people that was doing everything to stay alive. I dont think you have seen a drowning man and see how he fight fro life. If you mistaken touch him at that point both of you will drown DJ switch was only fight like a drowning man she didn't check who's acts is God.

ednut1:
Fake news has the capacity to destroy Nigeria. We saw it last week.

Create a means for fake news to thrive is the worst of it all. What was the army doing in the protest ground and was shotting up and some people was hit by a bullet?

xjiggy:
Dj Switch should be there as no1. She was the one that claimed 78 people died and soldiers were removing bodies. These others mainly amplified what they heard. This led to the destruction of more lives and properties. We don't know how many people died in the lekki shooting because both sides are lying but I can assure you it will be less than the ones caused directly or indirectly by the aftermath of the propaganda by these individuals. When a shop is destroyed and completely looted, you're not only directly affecting the owner, you're also depriving those who work there a means of survival. The number of people who will die of Stroke, Heart attack, High blood pressure and Suicide from the loss of properties and means of livelihood is yet to be ascertained.

Why did the government create an avenue for fake news to thrive. Have you been to a man house that owns a dog without run the dog start pushing you?. What was the army doing in a protest ground?

TecM0:




It's time to rebuild let's let bygone be bygone

It's out city it's our infrastructure, currently masses are suffering from burnt BRT not Politicians



.

Why blame the protest over what the government caused use your sense for once. To protect is activate you civil right.

Commentor:
You will still queue for BRT that'll never come tomorrow.

Was it there fault that the BRT got burned?

Nigeria’s former Finance Minister, Dr Ngozi Okonji-Iweala has emerged the new Director General of the World Trade Organisation.
According to sources from the European Union, she emerged victorious in the contest over her South Korean rival Ms Yoo Myung-hee, by a wide margin.

Okonjo-Iweala’s victory is expected to be announced formally by the WTO later today.

For some of you that was here earlier saying no body came forward and no dead bodies was discovered, now the Lagos state governor confirmed to CNN that there was shooting at the lakki toll and investigation is on going. Let's not use because small pay check to kill the stories.

Throwback:
Buhari has shamelessly put us on a map we have longed deserved to be on.

Now the whole world knows that in Nigeria, human life is worthless at the hands of government agents, and at the hands of the hungry and angry population.

The world is watching him closely. But what can they do to help us?

Enwhen:
Yes oo, Very wicked political leaders ..they know that when you are hungry , u will have no right . #Rule53. Let them hungry, hit them with hardship , so u can rule smoothly without any issue, because when they are well fed, they will seek accountability.

You're very funny. You made a valid point.

The Bishop of Rome offer pray for Nigeria

Enwhen:
God bless Hamilton ... More race wining for you... Abeg send money oo..hunger dey

Hunger is a politician tool. Invented by Nigerian politicians.
