OMG you were looking so beautiful. So smart. was crushing on you that very day. My father gathered all of his children to watch cos we couldn't come to Accra.
Jerry John Rawlings, you came you saw and conquered. You really raised the bar of leadership. Ghana today is in total mess, corruption has taken over the country, but I don't blame anybody but ourselves especially the Akans in Ghana. Rest well Chairman.
I really love this. I never missed Independence celebrations in those good old days. Watching those spectacular display of marching skills by Ghanaians from all walks of life, in harmony with sweet brass band patriotic music, used to be one of my favorite and addicted pastimes. Thanks for sending me down memory lane. Cheers, veteran GBC.
Beautiful and passionate. This is simply so emotional. I don’t know but there is pure authenticity and patriotism in every minute of this beautiful ceremony. I hope we can get Ghana back to this level
Oh Papa J May your Soul Rest in Peace. Of a truth you were a very handsome Gentleman l feel so sorry for our mother land the corruption you came to fight is now engulfed this NPP government. I wish we can have the boldness you had at the time in a future leader of our country to deal with corrupt politicians in Ghana
these type of videos and more are things we always want to watch ... in fact this generation of Ghanaians are really missing a lot... good job GBC we want more of such on your stations as we turn back to our patriotic paths of paying the Tv license fees
Hmmmm. Independence day celebration has never been the same. A lot has changed. These songs definitely does a lot of magic for me. They command some positive energy I cannot explain. Thank you GBC for bringing this one back.
Very colorful..In those days we get know each school in the capital…all repping their colors..That’s the real Independence Celebration..over 10k students and the man will keep standing to take all the salute..
Thank you GTV. You’ve really made my day. You’ve taken me down memory lane. I was told we lost these recordings when fire engulfed the Broadcasting House.
Respect man J! I salute u always forever favourite ❤ The only honest president of Ghana ever since❤❤❤❤ Continue to rest in peace 😢😢 papa J😢😢😢😢 My heart still bleeds😢😢 Will forever miss u😢😢😢
the excitement i feel right now watching this is unbelievable; the discipline in matching and order and presentation, every school going child sat waiting for this particular match pass. good old days indeed
Hmmm I went to observe this when i was in class 6 before it got to my turn in 1995 jss 1 and matced till 1997 ,shut out to mr Appiah and mr Essel whom they trained us at police depot okaikoi sub district. I remember the yoghurt they give us oo hmmm memories. Now see how old we are now oo.
Independence Day celebrations those days with Chairman Rawlings was just awesome! I remember this particular one like yesterday. The parade commander was a teacher instead of the usual military men. Dear GBC, could you please upload all the previous ones here? It's really nostalgic for me. You have really made me miss my childhood...
I am in tears we even said then that the quality has faded but its worse now, the standards keep going down year on year.I look forward to a leader who would bring back the good old days.quality.
Have we lost that patriotic feeling as a country? Because watching this compared to what we have watched in this generation it seems we have lost some vim. What do other people think? The passion, intensity, pride even the student band performing like a matured military band. What we are missing something as a people in this generation
True. I was so disheartened watching this year’s own. It was like they weren’t taking it seriously at all. Look at how smart everyone is looking and carrying themselves - it’s glaring at this point.
This was Ghana! Everyone is chanting 'Ghana Oseeee yieeeeee' not displaying placards of free shs, nabco and Ghana beyond aid. The NPP will destroy this nation
They have destroyed it already. Tribalism was a hidden and people felt.shy to exhibit but today it's been displayed in the offices, social media and on national platforms
Hate him or not, the Rawlings’ knew pomp and pageantry. Everyone looked sharp and didn’t come to play. I was a precocious 9 year old then Continue to RIP Papa J
In the late 50s, we were on the verge of building nuclear energy. Today, we are rationing power, and some could have the nerve to ask for a renewal of mandate.
Our mass band of late has modernize things so much that we don't even enjoy the band again ,like what happened at koforidua during the 67 independence day celebration.
Remember practices for this events, we were trained by military personals and having a school badge is one of the things that qualify you to take part in the match. 😅
Ghana has undergone a significant negative transformation. Once, this was an era cherished by every Ghanaian, marked by strong family values and an exceptionally dedicated youth across all spheres. The young generation exhibited profound patriotism, respect, and diligence, devoid of any inclination towards quick wealth acquisition. We boasted a cohort of intellectually adept young Ghanaians. However, everything crumbled swiftly following the advent of the internet, precipitating rapid and drastic changes in our nation. May God safeguard our beloved Ghana. JJ is my all time best president.
Waaw waaw this real independence celebration. Good sound and beautiful music by the Band. Infact,our mass band of late plays so many unfamiliar patriotic songs.
Nothing beats independence back under the Rawlings regime, the parades were huge and just about everyone represented. He also had the military discipline of standing through the parades. Not what we see today.
Thank you GTV for this video. This confirms how backward we've become as a country when I compare this video to our current 6th March celebration. We need a military rule to straighten us.
This is so beautiful 😢 awww look at the uniforms. They are all well dressed and match better. Can u imagine our current independence has been turned into comedy… I saw a couple of videos and I was like what the hell is this How can u be dancing in a parade
JJ Rawlings was indeed a figure who inspired a profound sense of patriotism during his presidency. His leadership evoked a strong commitment to the betterment of the nation. The arc of history, as Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, bends toward justice, and Rawlings' legacy stands as a testament to this belief. Despite the challenges of corruption and political unrest, there is hope that Ghana will one day be liberated from the grip of corrupt officials. Rawlings' memory serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us of the potential for positive change and the enduring spirit of patriotism within the nation.
Because NPP forefathers help overthrow Nkrumah from power they just want to delete all the good things Nkrumah did for Ghana now Akuffo addo change independent square to black star Square ,Huw mmmm NPP.
@7:20 Bawumia's father Chairman of the council of State, Alhaji Mumuni Bawumia was a teacher, lawyer and politician, a Mamprugu Royal and Chief of the Kperiga Traditional Area at the time of his death in September, 2002.
Everything here is giving me goosebumps! This was done with pure joy and dedication!
Very True....
Until the country became the property of some families
ON POINT
I am the one leading Wesley Grammar School on this day. I am so proud to be Ghanaian 🇬🇭
OMG you were looking so beautiful. So smart. was crushing on you that very day. My father gathered all of his children to watch cos we couldn't come to Accra.

Oh, the commentator died? He did a good job with the commentary, That’s sad. May all the departed ones from that parade rest in peace.
Waaooo!! Thank you GTV.
I was watching from Ejisuman Secondary School (year 2 student) and was 15 years 10 months then. RIP papa J.

Watching Papa J walk straight down the podium felt like he had the whole world in his hands 😂
And what about this selfish president today
the excitement i feel right now watching this is unbelievable; the discipline in matching and order and presentation, every school going child sat waiting for this particular match pass. good old days indeed
Very very nostalgic that I can't control my tears. 😢😢.I really miss those times 😢
Hmmm I went to observe this when i was in class 6 before it got to my turn in 1995 jss 1 and matced till 1997 ,shut out to mr Appiah and mr Essel whom they trained us at police depot okaikoi sub district. I remember the yoghurt they give us oo hmmm memories. Now see how old we are now oo.

This footage is much clearer than these days
WELL DONE GBC, I REMEMBERED PAPA J STOOD UNTIL THEY ALL MATCH PASSED.
I LOVE THIS🥰🥰
I nearly shared tears. Ghana then was a delight to watch. Unity was at play
I had goosebumps watching this

Independence Day celebrations those days with Chairman Rawlings was just awesome! I remember this particular one like yesterday. The parade commander was a teacher instead of the usual military men.

God bless our homeland Ghana. I was 14 yrs at that time.❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰good ol days. Long live Ghana. RIP PREZ Rawlings. Were the best.
Now we don't even have military because they rather beaten people their suppose to protect. And they even fail to do Military coup de tat. Lazy bams.
Have we lost that patriotic feeling as a country? Because watching this compared to what we have watched in this generation it seems we have lost some vim. What do other people think? The passion, intensity, pride even the student band performing like a matured military band. What we are missing something as a people in this generation
It is pretty obvious.

They have destroyed it already. Tribalism was a hidden and people felt.shy to exhibit but today it's been displayed in the offices, social media and on national platforms
Say it again ooo
Hate him or not, the Rawlings’ knew pomp and pageantry. Everyone looked sharp and didn’t come to play. I was a precocious 9 year old then
Continue to RIP Papa J
This is what you call celebration on independence 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The commentary itself was a lit and will make stick glued to you set but what do we see and hear today, so sad Ghana 😢
Todays own was horrible to watch 😢
In the late 50s, we were on the verge of building nuclear energy. Today, we are rationing power, and some could have the nerve to ask for a renewal of mandate.
Our mass band of late has modernize things so much that we don't even enjoy the band again ,like what happened at koforidua during the 67 independence day celebration.
The commentary alone ❤
Unless you are dead before u are well celebrated. Rest well champion ❤️🙌🏽 At least all r above 42 yrs.
GOD BLESS MOTHER GHANA FOR WE HAVE COME ALONG WAY......GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER ME NOW.
I'm sad? Missing my Motherland Ghana🎉🎉❤😊
Come back home
See how the bands men played well good food was there
Harmony was clear
Very true dear ,it seems today's own they are all hungry hmmm very sad.😢
And there r Jx students not evn security personnels 😢
