Ogyakrom Pressure: Can’t The Dead Be Left Alone For Once?

Ghana has gradually embraced the name “Ogyakrom” for people on the information superhighways who flow with that vibe. Ghanaians are noted for how savage they can be when they’re not in your camp. On the contrary, they are overly cheerful and kind with the choice of words when dealing with their favourites.

The demise of Former President Jerry John Rawlings seems to have opened fresh wounds for some people and their families who purportedly received severe beatings, deaths, and other punishments for their “crimes”. We all know the infamous “Let The Blood Flow” mantra that occasioned the supposed massacre of some alleged guilty people. On the other hand, other Ghanaians are swearing heaven on earth that Rawlings was a messiah. Who do we believe now?

Well, since the National Reconciliation whatever did their job, they could be the best people to answer these questions for us. Inasmuch as the Commission presented their findings to the then president, the follow-up should have been done (I know some efforts were put in place but not a 100% instance). Trust me, those who are still peeved with Jerry John Rawlings have the right to do so! But, my candid opinion is that, at least, the immediate family and other lovers should be allowed to grieve for their loss instead of chasing them with the way we feel about how JJ managed affairs during those undemocratic dispensations.

Am I making sense or I’m being petty?
