“The success of President John Evans Atta Mills' government would

depend on candid assessment”

(JJ Rawlings, Quoted from Ghanaweb Nov 2, 2009).





“Former President Jerry John Rawlings has launched a blistering attack

on the Mills led- National Democratic Congress (NDC) government,

describing his

ministers as illiterates who lack the requisite experience to

manage affairs

of the state” (JJ Rawlings, Quoted from Ghanaweb Nov 3, 2009).







JJ Rawlings has had numerous twisted mouths since 1979

When he imposed himself on Ghanaians

And became the hero of an ethnic group

Because he is their last ticket to the Slave Castle

JJ has dual-mouths

JJ has tripled-lips

Yet JJ craves for one Ghanaian one toilet

Though he releases more political dung than any Ghanaian

Crystal truth never emanates from either mouths or lips

Greased truths gush out of both watersheds of delusion





JJ said he was for TRANSPARENCY AND PROBITY

But his other mouth said JJ you are lying

Tell us how you paid for your kids’ education

Tell us how you bought your fleet of posh cars

Tell us how you built your houses

Tell us how you are able to globe-trot

Tell us about your expensive lifestyle

Tell us why you wept on national TV in June 1982

When you well knew that you killed the judges

When you well knew that your “tribesmen” had done it

Tell us how you financed the “broke” NDC in 2008/09 elections





JJ said he is against CORRUPTION AND GRAFT

That Nkrumah was corrupt and only got a flag for Ghana

That Busia was corrupt and did nothing for Ghana

That Acheampong was corrupt

That Akuffo was corrupt

That Limann was useless and came to derail the RE-DELUSION

But his other mouth said JJ you are liar

You are more corrupt than all Ghanaians

You never accounted for the 50-cedi notes you seized from the poor

You never accounted for the sale of Nkrumah’s corporations

Not even Nsawam cannery which you sold to your wife

You never accounted for the rags to riches of your followers

The coward partisan tribalists who are willing to die for you

Though they know that you are delusional

You never explained why you gave $20, 000 to a clueless woman

To plant rice in your paradoxically impoverished World Bank

You have said nothing about M & J, Scancem, CASHPRO

Before M & J that implicated your huge head-geared wife

You went all over the world blaming corrupt Ghanaians

Now your bogus anti-corruption campaign has deserted you

Tell us more about M & J for it was under your watch

Tell us about the friends who have been so good to you

Tell us about the friends who bought you cars

Tell us about the friends who paid your kids school fees

Tell us about the friends who paid for your mansions

Tell us about the mansion at Adjirigano with twenty-rooms

Four self-contained self-detached rooms for your four kids

Tell us about why you alone live in three large bungalows

Tell us why you killed people for having two toilets

But today you have 15 toilets in one compound-home





JJ said that he is for the ORDINARY POOR MASSES

But his other mouth and lips said JJ stop lying

At least enjoy your loot

As coward hypocritical Ghanaians look on

When you sip expensive imported wine

The common people drink gutterized water

You sleep without mosquitoes

But mosquitoes are friends with all Ghanaians

You eat imported beef, tuna, and all

The common people eat Nkrumah Circle chofi

You drive about in expensive Jaguars

The stupid masses cheer you on in Charlie wates

You have the best comfortable circumstances

Most Ghanaians you came to save live in poverty

Parents could not pay JSS/SSS fees

You sent your children to expensive schools overseas

You wear the best designer clothes

The masses wear infected oburoni wawu





JJ has called Mills’ ministers ILLITERATES

But his other mouth was very shocked

The other mouth stated categorically that

JJ you failed most of your class exams at Achimota

JJ you basketed nine 9s at the O-level

That you couldn’t pass the Air Force entry exams

It was J. W. Harley who paved the way for you

JJ you failed all your promotion exams

It was Colonel Yaw Boakye who “passed” you

Most of Mills” ministers had worked for you JJ

JJ you hate illiteracy but promote grand illiteracy

In 1982-83 you closed down Legon for 13 months

You introduced bogus JSS/SSS to produce illiterates

And whisked away your four children from JSS/SSS

They “literated” at the expensive Ghana International

Yes, Ghana International School where dollars counted

They “literated” in expensive British universities





JJ Rawlings now Ghanaians know you

They know that you are megalomaniac

You are the worst hypocrite

You are the worst know-all Janus-faced

Yet has not achieved anything in life

You are too power-drunk

You are exceedingly delusional

Even your avid supporters know that

Confused General Mosquito of NDC

Should publicly rebuke you JJ

Just as much he rebuked the fraudulent DR.

Yes, the fraudulent “Dr.” Koobi Spew-Garbage

For both your delusions of political grandeur

NDC leaders must call you JJ to order

Before you JJ wins 2012 elections for the NPP

Before you lose the last iota of respect
