    The saying that ''the dignity of a man is not known until his absence is felt" is really true. We now feel for JJ's presence in Ghana.

    I saw a snippet of this on Facebook and had to dig up the entire speech. Ghana deserves better than the greedy, self-serving, and self-seeking politicians we have in power these days

    It takes an intelligent person to understand what this man is really about. The greedy and ignorants will never understand him or are not willing to understand him

    After listening to several documentaries and interviews on and with his excellency J J Rawlings I must admit I envy Ghana.... Countries with such courageous, brave, intelligent and outspoken man are very few in Africa... Wish we had one like this in Cameroon, May God bless you Face Of Africa

    I so much respect the powers of the story of JJ Rawlings. This speech is loaded but for me I caught this, "you must use your degrees for transformation, not for promotion", after watching this masterpiece several times. I hail you JJ

    I’m glad I found the full length video. It’s a shame that he passed away but now the University will be re-named after him.

      President Akuffo Addo wanted to name UDS after him but he turned it down.

    Your Excellency, Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings:
    You once said: "for a people dying for food, for air, and for water - - -to have a hero is a lottery!"
    Well, every time I see you, I feel like a lotto winner. You have been good to Ghana. And oh, I wish we could clone you. God bless you.
