@Nelson Osei how do you that! Many have done worse evil's in Ghana.

You so right.... You know in the 75 coup attempt by Kojo Tsikata he kept Kattah who was the mastermind in his house secretly? This man does give a good analysis of some aspects of our history

@@Afrojoeful Another tribalism nonesense.Could someone ask the Captain what he told Afrifa s people when they killed him.This guy is a big liar.

@@momills295its not about what they told the family it's about WHY they killed him and I won't believe anything a coup maker tells me, I'll draw my own conclusions. Massa have some dignity wai and ask yourself this question, Why would the same people who saved someone who was going to be killed complain about his behaviour after saving him? Some of us know the history ooo, this man is from 5 battalion, just as Boakgye Gyan and most of the June 4th fighters were. They released JJ from prison and Boakgye Gyan thought my old friend speaks better than me so I'll make him the spokesman and JJ totally abused that position with other people he'd been listening to. Tribalism or not you can draw your own conclusions

@@Afrojoeful Do agree to your assertion 100%.

Thanks

the truth about what?

That's all bro

If you want to go to our darkest error please look deeper look into slavery slave trade and the Eros our ancestors caused to the people that was shipped to America. Just don't go there

@@kgaghana1 well it seems your reply to a contributor is just an insult to his notion.As much as you have a right to your opinion, That doesn't gives you the right to disparage other contributions.The gentlemen made his feelings felt, his resentment against evil and lies. What is wrong with that?

@@justiceappiah3060 mm

very true

Bull

is this the charles kweh i know, this is your boy VIRUS

lol

U know nothing. Is the opposite

240 corrupt ghaniens needed to serve as an example for plundering the millions of hard working Ghana citizens... So this was a bold move, ery much needed after the assassination of Kwame Nkurumah.

He is lying to the teeth here

​@@nephatoliech5601and today the NDC party he brought are more corrupt than the generals. One thing I know for a fact is that Military are less corrupt than Civilians

He not lying he speaking the truth stop typing nonsense

And healthcare!

@Bantze Hotep : I don't think Ghanaians are scared, it's just that the right head of government to change the name of the airport hasn't come yet. Mind you, Rawlings is an Ewe like Kotoka so there was no way he would have done what Fathia said.

That was where kotoka was killed....I understand Afrifa had kotoka killed becos cos he had ulterior motives after de 66coup

Mark Korste well said bro. I’m with you on this one. Also, the indemnity clause, if not already removed, should be removed from the 1992 constitution.

Mark Korste You’re very smart.

Yooo. Glad someone else has joined the dots. They always do the plotting, but in lacking support, hide behind Akans and only show their faces when it succeeds. Then they set about eliminating those they fear. The only one take my hat off to was Capt Courage Quashigah. He was no coward.

Boakye Gyan says the constitution killed them and he has no regret. Check out that interview on Andy D Tv on KZfaq

Hmm

@@tagorsterling1513 Rawlings also said he has no regrets

Almost everything he says is true. I grew up at Arakan barracks so have always had an interest in the coups. I witnessed both coups and know a lot about them and he clarifies a lot, sometimes lies and simple explanations. He actually got me to research the Nkrumah coup, Kotoka and the 72 coup

Can you justify the June 4th coup? The only reason he seems apologetic is the fact that Rawlings became successful compared to him. Make no mistake, the June 4th coup was unnecessary and is the reason why Rawlings came back in 1981. We were on course to constitutional democracy so why the coup? And it's sad that the host doesn't confront him with the contradictions of the main actors. Rawlings, Baokye Gyan, this guest and even kweku Baako at al gives different reasons for the June 4th coup. I'm not absolving Rawlings but to blame it all on him, is a cop out.

@@Afrojoeful the fact that you believe everything he said to be gospel doesn't absolve his culpability. Make no bones about it, June 4th coup was armed robbery full stop.

@@cojoopoku4946 there is no where in ky statements I justified June 4th Massa. Personally I have a passion digging into the Coups because I witnessed them and still have dreams related to them living not 5 minutes walk from 5 battalion and recce when they happened. I have listened to tens of stories from ex soldiers, officers, wives etc and that is how I either believe or disbelieve what I read or hear. Most of what this man says is absolute truth.....you don't have to believe it anyway, its a free world remember

@@cojoopoku4946 I am sorry but your analysis is even more shallow that the Captains. Why do you think they made him spokesman then. These are people who were clever and not jealous. He Rawljngs abused the sacrifice they made for him. When they all agreed to take sponsorship and travel abroad Rawlings didn't, that's when they smelled foul, not today massa....back in 1980 before Rawlings became rich they were asking for June 4th to be investigated. Iam sorry but your analysis is pretty shallow

What is the right thing? Another coup? Coup is not the answer

definitely not. I am saying that the same things are happening and we are getting worse off@@mikedwamena1662

His answers will be all over the place

He is a COWARD and will never come on a platform like this to answer all these allegations. (Jj)

Haaahaaaa.....he would never come

The Head of State of Upper Volta (now, Burkina Faso), whose name Capt. Baah Achamfour cannot recollect was called; Campore!

And so what. Why you were not killed? If you guys have nothing doing , please do not do it here. Do not forget it was a REVOLUTION EBAM!!

The head of state of Burkina Faso then was Maurice Yameogo and not Campoare.

Lol

Rest well? Nonsense

@@Blackwhite99251 go read about General Acheampong ok ,the man was just painted black

It's sad Hmm

​@@Blackwhite99251Acheampong 6 years is better than 19 years of Rawlings.

@@jamesntiri4659 In your dreams The inflation the nepotism the corruption?

Sorry for late response... the excuse they gave was n I quote “ General Ankrah wasn’t part of the coup but was invited to lead government after it”

Why is oir history hidden

Kotoka planned and lead the coup, but they put Gen. Ankrah as the H.O.S.

Nova Soprano so then how did Afrifa come in the picture??

CHRISTOPHER AIKENS Afrifa I believe happened to be a subordinate of Kotoka n he was lured into it .. But after Ankrah failed to deliver n with Kotoka dead, Afrifa was forced to seize power from Ankrah ..

George Adonteng Afraid his manner of killing Sarkordie will come out and he will be killed similarly

He is a CROOKED COWARD and will never respond. He will prefer hiding behind the shield ( INDEMNITY CLAUSE).

Never expect him to come and speak. He is the ultimate beneficiary of the various uprising, mutiny, coup de tat etc Now fact check from history, who has enjoyed the most from political violence?

A criminal who took care of 1 million Ghanaian who were repatriated from Nigeria to Ghana. A criminal who made changes to our socio-economic system in such a way that we never went back to where it was before he came to power. A criminal day after he leaving office we've never seen any coup or military intervention. is my Christmas gift for you

U saying Nkrumah and Busia s govt were and a wee smoker came to fix it

He sonds credible than some of those on the issue of Judges

A criminal who presided over the killing of Supreme Court Justices, a criminal under who's watch 279 Ghanaians got missing without trace, a criminal under who's watch there was culture of silence, a criminal who invited tribal sentiments.......a criminal who needs to be executed for overthrowing a constitutionally elected government

@@kofiagyeibaffour647 I totally agree with you

What honesty? Someone was part of a junta and you say he was honest. They are all murderers.

Talk about the first coup that was prepared by danquah akuffo addo and busia Rawlings saved Ghana from Evil men Acheampong was no saint He was a coup plotter murderer nation wrecker

And so what?

Hahaha, interesting narratives from these past soldiers.

Correction ...Africa's current issue 😥

It’s was good Nkrumah was overthrown, no regrets.

@@justiceappiah3060 no regrets too as the Generals were given a taste of their own médecine. Today everyone knows Nkrumah,who talks about the military regimes??

@@justiceappiah3060 why

​@victorbonssrah3822 thanks for the correction.

That's a dumb statement from you I tell you. But I will not blame you much because you have no idea of what really happened during those days. People just submitted names of people to be killed based on hatred for others. And without proper investigations, they were executed. That was pure foolishness but not a solid way of checking corruption. That is why corruption is still pervasive in our society. Because Rawlings himself ended selling state property to his wife at a very cheap price. Per the standard of Rawlings, he and his wife should have been executed but that didn't happen. Why? Because in the first place he was never committed to checking corruption. He was just jealous of others and wanted to kill them. That's all. He only used the corruption tag to get at them without putting any proper structures in place to check corruption. More so, he killed others for committing treason but he himself committed treason by overthrowing the constitutionally elected government of Dr. Hilla Limann but once more he pardon himself by granting himself amnesty in the 1992 constitution. Clearly, he had no principles in life and just wanted to kill those he claimed had committed treason. After killing those he wanted to kill almost all his appointees including himself went back to commit the very alleged mistakes he killed others for without investigations because he had no solid principles or structures built to check corruption.

@@emikinc are you aware of the truth yourself? I don't think so. Ghana was so corrupt that even judges were involved and abetted corruption, the investigators were also corrupt for most parts, as a president he had to do good for most of the population at the expense of the corrupt few. So, those people had to go. Ghana is shining star of Africa as we talk right now, but there was no way of putting it on the right path. We should be thankful for such leaders who manage to change the trajectory and a culture of corruption, to what we are seeing now. Nobody is perfect and we can poke holes on Jerry's leadership. But truth be told, Ghana could be as corrupt as Nigeria if Jerry didn't bring in sanity. Give credit where it is due. You now have the freedom to express your feelings because of Jerry's boldness

@@nephatoliech5601 You clearly don't understand the purpose of the 1979 coup. If you did you wouldn't tell me to praise Rawlings after he had committed the very offense that he had shot others for.

@@emikinc do you understand it, are you just masking peripheral and superficial judgment?? Obviously if he was so wrong why didn't they bring him to court and charge him after he left office? Instead of appreciating what he did for you to create a democratic space so that you can now express your views freely and have integrity restored in leadership? Africans continue to be a thankless and self destructive lot. You don't even see the objectivity for his actions!! GOD FORGIVE YOU.

@@emikinc Rawlings saved Ghana go read history Do you even know what smc 1 and smc2 did to Ghana?

This guy is right. June 4th was the only way to cleanse Ghana from corruption and all sorts of evils.

@@youssefcamara3916 but it was later politicized and ethnisied

Ripple/XRP Preacher perhaps, but how about the outcome today. The Ghana l visited in summer 1978 is far cry from Ghana today. All things be equal, Ghanaian are better off today than those year’s of military coups and chronic shortages of basic goods like toothpaste or bathing soap.

Mcml o

​@@youssefcamara3916June 4th has never brought nothing to Ghana. Ghana is even worse

That is why we are where we are. We are too known. All these noises are from we the Akans, who think Ghana is for us.

Why you speak as if you lost your mind,

Lies

No one hate JJ he is telling the truth.

There is Bitternes Full Stop..not kinda..lol

You wouldn’t say this if your father was executed by the government at that time so just stfu

To me he sound very credible.

Credible indeed. Small boys are young

Nonsense revenge kotoka's death for what? Kotoka was part of danquah and akuffo addo's father who hated nkrumah

Your tribalistic tendencies is sickening

Everything about the coup was tribally motivated... why is the airport named after Kotoka, have u ever asked that question?

God bless ur Mr Nyarko

It was very obvious in the end...even Boakye Gyan is not this bitter...

do it quick so that we blow it again fools

Lair Rawlings didn't hate Akans he was against your fake royalty everyone suffer Apuaaa..

Rubbish!!!

Christian Bediako right on bro!

Afrifa was the mastermind/brain behind it all

That doesn't rule him out The killing could be done by someone by the order or matermind of another

​@@grounddove4362same way rawlings and tsikartar killed the judges

You can't blame him... He's a June born Germini

you people we know is a target forever

General Afrifa's late sister - Ceci Acheampomaa - told me that when they came to plead with you to intercede, when the General was arrested in Mampong, you told her that "that boy will be killed like a dog"! Truth will free your conscience!

Many African countries that did not resort to coups and bloodshed are at par economically with Ghana.I feel very angry at the unnecessary spilling of blood.You kill your judges just like that.

Ankrah was just a front man. He had no part in planning the overthrow of Nkrumah. The CIA approached Afrifa at 5th battalion in Kumasi. He intend convinced his C.O. Kotoka, another ignorant illiterate to go along with it. Afrifa was paid a measly $29,000 to betray the whole African continent. The CIA knew they could only find such a traitor in Ashanti land. The CIA had realized that the average Ashanti will sell his own mother for money

The big difference between Nigeria and Ghana. See the sincerity which Capt Barr Achamfour described the events and even his involvement as a person. I respect you Captain. This spirit helps national reconciliation. It creates room for forgiveness. I wish there are bold and sincere men like this everywhere. I have listened to many of these Ghanian officers. They are truthful about their roles during the tumultuous part of their national history.

If the rulers are deeply corrupt, we need the military to take o er and expel the greedy politicians who mess the lives of millions of people.
