Rawlings was Never an Officer Material - Major Rida Hits Back - PART 1

A neo-colonial mentality thinking that what the colonists told us are good & must be followed.

Liar Boakye Gyan never regretted walking with JJ

Some of the sentiments expressed here are interesting. All I can say is that Rawlings had history in his generation both at home and abroad. Whether he was successful or not history has already proven that. A revolution is what GH needed and that what happened. Elitism, classism is some of the problem GH and Africa has. What has the so called educated leaders taken GH. Brainwashed and Europeanized Africa is part of the major problems of GH and Africa as a whole. The truth also is conformist do not make!

This man is a very sarcastic and jealous of the achievements of JJ Rawlings. As a former soldier myself i know what’s eating him up but he can’t do anything about it , what happened is now history and Rawlings is now part of Ghanaian history.

Then its seem like most of you seniors ranks were coward....thought the Army runs on Discipline jj Rawlings rank A junior flights lieutenant ...
Yet he outsmarted all of you .

All have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of god…!!!

Interview major sulemana

At what rank did this gentleman retire? If his professed intelligence was all it took to rise to the top, I wonder what kept him from becoming a Field Marshall.

A stone throwing iconoclast!

Look at the biggest coward speaking... why didn't Rida come out with such liars when Rawlings was alive?

How many times should Andy be told Odartey Wellington was Brigadier General ? !! Baba Awuni told him !!! As a lawyer he should be strict with detail

The comments are great
People hate Rawlings because hr came to bridge the vast gap between the rich and the poor,the high class and the low class
Hence the song we no go sit down make them chear us everyday .
It is paining them up till today like peper

Rida where do you come from? Wao so envious why did you run away?

You guys should have fought back hard, your loss caused the death of so many others

You people feared for your life. You had a lot to loose ( becauae kd your clothes;cars etc as you mentioned). The juniors were poor and had nothing to lose like you said of Rawlings, Sir

Ghanaians love JJ. Only corrupt neferious people hate him.

Rawlings was the best military airmen in his graduating class. It's in the archives.

You were selling army forces thing who were you accounting for .

You were selling army forces thing who were you accounting for

You were selling army forces thing who were you accounting for

You were selling army forces thing who were you accounting for

How did you determine if someone is envious, you were stealing from the mess

Rawlings should have a place in the Guinness book of records.
Even the late Queen Elizabeth acknowledged him as a persistent coup maker during his hand over to President Kuffour.

Im just laughing at the Rawlings lovers here. The man manipulated you nicely with his fabricated stories of making you believe he was a saint😂😂😂

Rawlings is the Father of modern Ghana. That’s his legacy I believe. 😎🎉

THIS MAN'S ACCOUNT IS A TOTAL LIE.. based on careful analysis from other interviews

Lĺĺ

You are a bad officer... Rida.. Why do you leave your position

I would have made a good officer then

You are just lying fool skin pain Rawlings has taken power and you cannot change history shame

Skin pain useless man fool

A lie he was not but you people stole our resources June fourth save Ghana ,you can go to hell

Amazing how Major Rida and his shirt blend so completely with the background. Was it a coincidence or planned?

Rida has always been bitter about Rawlings

I like your program but long advertisements.

I guess some of u agreeing totally with major Rida were those their fathers stole Ghana hard earned money for, so they trully should be pained. This goes to show the story of the CAT that the mighty in the kingdom saw as gentle, calm and humane but it true identity could be explained perfectly by the rats and the rodents. Those milking the treasury will see him as a rogue anyway, however he represented the masses and I think thats is okay.

With due respect sir Rida would say Ghana was better off and situations in ghana were moving in the right direction before Rawlings actions? As an elder stateman don't water down someone success just for sentiment. So its rather preposterous for u to assert that a captian in the Ghana Army to be so poor that could not afford a shirt leading to envy? So JJ was envious because the elite and their family were riding the best CAR, wearing designer dresses per se as the most qualify? And at whose expense? so the status quo should have remained for few illegimate one? Elder should we throw the child with the dirty water, though not advocating his perfectedness but to a very large extent he turned Ghana around and it should be appreciated instead of castigating him. Pls let chart the right ideology for the younger generation.

Major Rida, you are a spíneless cowárd, with all due respect!!

This man hasn't said anything really. Only absolute BS. Yes, Rawlings was a renegade but it doesn't mean he wasn't an officer material.

Now I understand why the ewes are envious of everything of other tribes.rawlings started all these nonsense.its in their DNA

Every student do failed exams so if Rawlings failed in English or the peper or whatever he also failed, but one thing that I want to tell him is no matter what he knows more Rawlings, Rawlings is no to people more than him and he should keepeth whatever he knows more Rawlings to himself as he retired back home

This guy is just jealous of Rawlings achievements . That he says Rawlings was not Officer material is a complete hogwash!

Absolute nonsense being spewed by this man.
His utterances portray absolute jealousy of our Christlike hero, J. J. Rawlings who was willing to lay down his life for his men after the failed 15th May coup.

Coward you run away

So why didn't you fight then

Masa we all no ghana history don't lie to some of us

He was never an officer material but he was the best cadet in his year group and by a mile the best leader Ghana has ever had. Tell us your achievements.

Someone is not telling truth here.. this interview should be a pannel
