It's amazing how people show respect to their elders, particularly in times of need. Some tend to kneel or bow before their superiors while others resort to other humble means to display their respectful character.
This was exactly the case at the forecourt of Parliament House Thursday when President John Dramani Mahama went to deliver his last State of the Nation's Address.
Present at the Legislative House were various dignitaries including Former President Jerry John Rawlings.
Arriving at the premises, an interesting event occurred when former President Rawlings was walking up the stairs leading to the entrance of the Legislative House.
For the Mayor of Accra, Alfred Oko Vanderpuiye, it must have been a mortifying moment captured in a video gone viral when he attempted to seize the opportunity to exchange pleasantries with the former President; and Mr. Rawlings openly rebuffed him.
Mr. Rawlings seems to have had enough of Oko Vanderpuiye and so blatantly refused to recognize the latter when he (Oko Vanderpuiye) approached him (Rawlings).
Watch the awkward moment below:

That shows how unforgiveable the JJ is, but he has forgotten that he killed three judges in the past and God the Almighty enjoyed us to forgive one another for the sins committed. If cannot forgive the Mayor for whatever offence he has committed, God the Almighty will not him (JJ), Insallah.
thanks papa J for showing oko where powers lies.
I feel sad for Oko,but come to think of it.we all insulting Papa J,the question am asking,what did he say to Oko.? do we know.? Papa J Paaaa..he craze oohh..lol
This is a No No on Rawlings part.He did not act as a former president. Obama will rather hold his cool. And that is the distinction between an educated scholar &......
Every action is a reaction to an action. Simplicita
This sasabosam man. The next person in line for his attacks is Nana Addo. Watch this space, I say. Good luck.
A party must outlive its founder(s). Rawlings has forgotten that he will surely die one day and when he is no more, what happens to his NDC? Will he take the party with him to the land of the dead?
Why are people surprised? Rawlings is a bastard. He doesn't even know his father. He wasn't brought up well. He lacks manners. Put all these together and you will understand the personality

The thing still looks to me like 'video shop' but if this really happened then it is very sad for us as a country. Such open display of hatred from a former president to a citizen of Ghana,really? Even those who crucified Jesus were forgiven by Him whilst He was still enduring the pains of their affliction. What did oko do that JJ could not forgive him given he had flung diplomacy through the window? Really? JJ who deprived children of their fathers and and wives of their husbands and went scot-free can't forgive someone for a perceived wrong? God have mercy on us!
