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 was for the poor victims of the accra flood disaster. Thank you papa J. You're the only one who cld hv done this.
A father does not behave like that. I hope he will be happy if the same is done to Ezenator one day
this video is priceless!! I am no fan of JJ but one thing I know is he is no hypocrite..If he doesn't like you, you will know it. Oko, this one di33 i burn you like moko (pepper). Actually I am happy you were embarrassed like this. Someone needed to put u in ur place
Someone tell Rawlings he cannot go at all alone. The person he should be giving a cold shoulder is Nana Konadu, not Oko.
Who do he think he is? 3 judges were killed under his watch, JJ give us a brake you are not God, You are nobody, one day God will judge you
JJ RAWLINGS IS NOT HUMAN BEING, HE IS A REAL DEVIL,
So JJ think he is doing something good, I am sorry for his children especially Dr.
You see how the ndc members are insulting JJ? Few years ago they wouldn't see anything wrong with his behavior towards npp. Now that he has rejected them, you see how they are crying. It serves them right.
this man is a ***barred word*** man for demolishing our buildings, we will always vote against him and the party.
Please, please please, why insult the former president. He didn't come because of oko the boot locker oko. Let the former president be!
