Was in Liberia for a month and it’s sad how the country has deteriorated. In Ghana our problem is we don’t appreciate the peace we are enjoying. May God help us alll
How does a coup even become an option because you do not agree with a government policy? Did everybody like every policy between 1992-2000 or 2009-2016. What sort of intolerance is this. Even when we had opaque ballot boxes, we dialogue, debated and argued in courts to bring change, and then used our thumbs to vote out after 4yrs. What is this incessant crave for power as if Ghana belongs to only a group of people. Will your party be installed into power after a coup? What happened to the beauty of democracy!
I have lived through all the coups and i will say "never again". All that Sefa is saying is really true. Even at the age of 6 yrs i witnessed what they did to Nkrumah. 1979 & 1981 were terrible, most especially in Kumasi.
WhT can we do when the likes of Asiedu Nketia and all those who benefited from Rawlings coup to be somebody want to create conditions for a coup d’etat. I don’t know why they are still hiding under the shade of their ndc party to claim to be democratic. A true Democratic Party would never ever clamor for and inciting coups and calling for civil disobedience and chaos.
I'm watching this video on this day 3rd June, 2024... I just can't hold back my tears...Ghana.... Never again. Chairman General, please interview some of the people who are survivors for Ghanaians to learn from the past and be more patriotic
Bra kwame, thank you very much for I am a barracks boy born 1968 at EL-Wak and have seen it all with my twin brother.when the people came for cpl Asidu of MI ,now DI it was not something to recall bro.i do not like to talk bout it the more,when we saw our father Ex SSgt Asare came home with his uniform full of blood and told us about what he saw before coming home. He was just from his master's house. He was then driving a high court judge col, I do not like to continue but tell those making noise to think about it. Bra kwame myself and my twin brother were in the Army passed out 1990 and 1993 we were in ECOMOG GH7 and we saw what war did to the Liberians, UNIFIL GH44 war, for 14 days things were not easy then GH 64 for 34 days Israel and Lebanon war. Last was UNMISS 2 in Sudan.God help those people requesting for war.
Kwame, thank you for the eye witness account. I was in Upper six at Accra Academy on May 15th 1979. I was in primary school on 24th Feb 1966. Kotoka's twin children were my classmates in 1966 and Brig Afrifa's wife was my class one teacher at Kumasi, Uddarra Barracks. Yeye Boye- Akakpovii, Odiifoo Asare and others. The memory is still there.
Any one who make up his mind to make coup must be send to the world tribunal they shouldn't entertain them in Ghana here. They should go to make coup not here in Ghana we are not ready for coup. JJ was truly a devil I hope he is answering over there. Kwame you make us very sad today what you are saying is very true I saw everything. May their souls rest in Peace.
Hmmm very emotional listening to these stories. I have watched a lot of videos on TH-cam about the National Reconciliation Commission sittings on coups in Ghana and it is very sad listening to the stories so those calling for coup don't know what they are talking about.
All is well said about coup. I'm a child of Arakan Barracks, bks during that time at block D, where were you staying at as a bks boy? The fact of the matter is the president needs to get up and arrest all the people who are CORRUPT in his cabinet.
Hmmmmm! Kwame, I lived in 3BN Sunyani barracks very far from Accra, the abuse I witnessed unleashed on civilians people should be careful about what they wish for
KSK those coup mongers don't know what they are talking about. They just read it from the books. Those of us who are above 60 years saw it and it was pathetic. A cousin of mine was nearly killed by a soldier at Maamobi just because the previous week he had beaten him in a Ludo competition and was teasing him. Fortunately he had gone to Accra New Town and when he got the hint he never returned to Maamobi again leaving the house he built behind for so many years because the soldier was his neighbour.
This is the time we need to learn history especially we the youth...we were hailing Rawlings as a hero but we never knew he was one of the most sinesta minded head of state at the time...i am sure Nana Konadu have something to say or render an apology to Ghanaians
Hmm.. Am a togolais and I know what this is about. Hmmm. I ever ask a boy at the old achimota station if he hv ever heard a gun short for about 500 meters far from him before. Hmmm... Lord have mercy ooo
A have a friend Whose Dad went for Peace keeping at Liberia and never returned and now that my friend is going through so Much in Life with his mom and Siblings..... He has Completed Regional maritime University n he rides Okada. Not even working 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Sadly this history hasn’t ever been taught to the generation who were born in the 1980s many of us were lucky to have been told stories by our parents, but majority of the 30 yr olds don’t know Ghana’s history & are on social media writing nonsense. They think Ghana started to rot under the 1992 constitution & think the years gone by were golden years.
The sad thing is that the vast majority of those who destroyed lives with impunity did nothing to better their own lives or the lives of their loved ones. Many wasted the opportunities that they could have benefitted from. Two soldiers, Goka and Laryea were the scourge of the lives of many families. Where are they now? Due to their reckless activities, they did not even survive long enough to appear before truth and reconciliation. The military response only hands over corrupt practices to a new generation who would otherwise have not gained such access, or lack the nous or wisdom to deal with such power responsibly.
How should it enter the head of someone as an option to a disagreement to a government policy. It is not as if someone has entrenched himself that he won't allow elections after 4yrs. If you don't think we have developed enough you debate your point and ask people to vote for change when the time comes. Don't even encourage and entertain the thought that some people could do that.
Thank you for talking about the traumatised situation. I’m still reliving teshie camp. On my way to school from Tema in a trotro bus. When we got there the driver in his own wisdom stopped and got all the passengers out and locked his car forcing me as a teenager to watch the killing of Akuffo and others. My reason for never to vote NDC in my life time. I’m still struggling with the scene.
Nightlife we have Classique Handles band led by Nana osibio prempeh alias Kojo Antwi for now/ B soyaya band / Sweet beans band / 4th Dimensions band all these were destroyed by coups
My brother 18 years old coming from school was shot at circle a soldier. A final year student at Emit technical school in 1982. All the blood that Rawlings and soldiers shed should be upon his children and decendance. Please continue to tell the youth
Snr they just don't know. The question they should be asking themselves is don't I have any enemy somewhere who will be targeting me when there is coup? As a military person I know what guns can do . If they think coup and war is fun , they should look at Ukraine and I think they all know how to speak French too
Imagine Togbe Afede getting missing through mysterious circumstances under Nana Addo as Kwame said. Like the way the whole nation will turn upside down with dirty tribal comments. However, a prominent Akuapem chief and business man like B B Bismark with a status similar to Togbe Afede got missing under Rawlings and nobody could say fi. Now those wicked souls under whom a prominent Akan chief got missing are the ones making the loudest noise.
The NDC did worse !!! Is sad they still want to rule Ghana 🇬🇭 with all their evil taughts... I have a lot to share Kwami... 😭😭😭😭 This is why I hate the NDC !!
Ah ah Kwame I was only born on 1980 but it looks as if I was there at that time because I truly feel immensely sorry for those who lost their relatives....because always listen to the some of the June 4th stories....on TH-cam...hmmm
What are you saying about democracy you are right but the problem in Ghana is everything people change into politics what is the problem being honest with nobody want to tell the truth that's no discipline in Ghana it does not matter who there is no respect everybody want to do whatever they want to do India blaming somebody for their own stupid mistakes
Do you hear these coup mongering whenever the NDC is in power despite the same economic hardships we experience under both NDC and NPP? You should know where these selfish and wicked thoughts are coming from. It's clearly coming from the NDC who are selfish and always think that they are the only people with the rights to rule. They think that apart from them, Ghanaians shouldn't have patience for any government. Let us tell them in their faces and stop generalizing it.
Kwaku Yeboah, please leave Abronye alone ,Mr.Mahama is A Very Waste fir Ghana wai if you care to know ,small wonder you didn't see the Coup, I was given 10 LASHES with Riffle Belt ,for Urinating infront in a gutter in my father's house by A team of officers, from the Kumasi Police Depot ,all because of an animal call CURFEW.
Not all the people talking about coup are calling for coup to happen. This coup talk has been generalized too much. People who are calling for coup to happen should learn from the stories being told. Coup is never good for any nation.
How should it enter the head of someone as an option to a disagreement to a government policy. It is not as if someone has entrenched himself that he won't allow elections after 4yrs. If you don't think we have developed enough you debate your point and ask people to vote for change when the time comes. Don't even encourage and entertain the thought that some people could do that.
Most of the people talking about coup d'etat in the year 1979 to 1987 what we saw at that time those saying such things we not Born or they we not in Accra what we saw if coup d'etat happened today the will run out of Accra
How are the lives of those soldiers who took to arms and kill people like fowls...especially the soldiers who executed the generals and 3 high court judges and other killing fields.. I am sure some of them are alive now...I am asking how are the lives now?...
Sorry for my words, those propagating for coup are not humans, because even if they do not experienced it, don't they watch TV or read, they should watch Russia and Ukraine just few weeks ago. There is different between home knowledge and book knowledge, those raised in homes speaks peace
Do u support coup or not?? Do u knw the adverse effects of coup?? When learned people are speaking, u sit down quietly and learn. U don’t just spew trash and walk away. Listen to wisdom dude
Was in Liberia for a month and it’s sad how the country has deteriorated. In Ghana our problem is we don’t appreciate the peace we are enjoying. May God help us alll

They don't know. Those who call for coups are just babies. I was in secondary school 2nd year
I feel like crying Kwame. I saw a lot of it too
I'm watching this video on this day 3rd June, 2024... I just can't hold back my tears...Ghana.... Never again. Chairman General, please interview some of the people who are survivors for Ghanaians to learn from the past and be more patriotic
Ghana please let's enjoy peace even thou is hard. PEACE PEACE PEACE.
Gen. Bob Kotei was the number one Commonwealth High Jumper and second best in the World.
KSK you need to write a book. This is part of Ghana's history.

HAS THE RECENT COUPS IN GUINEA/ MALI/ BURKINA TURN THE COUNTRY LIKE USA OR UK?
Is NDC fools that are behind all these nonsense

Any changes in.Guinea/Mali/Burkina after the coup now is totally disastrous.No changes fresh confusing.

Kwame, am short of words.you have to write a book. God bless you Kwame
Ghanaians history is very sad and very interesting to listen to, 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
So so sad..touchy story paaa
If there is a coup in Ghana can 99 % of NDC politicians explain their wealth to military leaders

KWAKU I AGREE WITH YOU. NANA ADDO NEEDS TO WAKE YOU ⏰️
Rawlings and his soldiers were evils. The youth doesn't how people went through.
Those old men who are calling for coup in Ghana do not have the nation at heart.
God have mercy on these people and save our beloved country.
