    Does anyone remember what soldiers did to Ghanaians? The behaviour of Ghanaians today have some of its roots from June 4th 1979. Does Rawlings remember what he did to a man at Takoradi railway station?

    June 4th as a matter actually legitimized mob justice in Ghana Ghana as Rawlings and his bunch of klept ...

    Some of us do recall all that you mentioned with pains and agree with you that some evils of our society today could have been enhanced by the June 4 or took its root from the June 4. But the reality is that no matter how cog ...

    This man is really sick. He benefited his own revolution by stealing Nsawam factory that belonged to the state. I am sure his numerous wickedness during his satanic revolution is hunting him.

  • ASIEDU NKETIA, TAIN 6 years ago

    The mob action we're witnessing today, and which Rawlings is condemning, was created by the June 4 & the (P)NDC. They arose from the CDR's, PDC's,& the vigilante groups. Many people were killed, & humiliated by these groups c ...

    Mr. Rawlings June 4th is over.

    Remember this: Ghanaians dont live in June 4th anymore.

    Sometimes the easiest way to solve a problem is to stop participating in the problem.

    Let it go, it is thing for the past.
