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:

Rawlings I think is a person you don't talk to until he speak to you. Ignore him when you meet him until he approaches you.
S3 wo ho )p3hene a wogye ne bag. Do you think you people can use him again? he wasn't part of 2012 election but you won, also, he is not part of 2016 election and you have lost so who do think you are fooling? Next time you will see the up - cut blow like the one given to arkaah. May his soul rest in peace.
To me the attitude snubbing of this KROOKED THIFF OKO Vanderpuje by JJ Rawlings shows how JJ Rawlings has become angry about certain individuals in the NDC party who are not really NDC at heart but used the NDC party to amass BIG TIME wealth ; When JJ Rawlings was told some years ago that some people in the NDC were not true NDC but were just gold diggers ; the man refused to believe it !!!!!!; when he was told Tsatsu Tsikata was no financial genius but a KROOK JJ Ralwlings could not believe until he saw the evidence ; Asiedu Nketia served JJ Rawlings but later on called him a barking 'DOG'JJ RAWLINGS WAS SHOCKED !!!!; the man has intelligence today about all those pretending to be NDC but are not real NDC but charlatons and thiffs they are using the NDC as a vehicle to amass wealth ; take the case of OKO Vaderpuje who through Atta Mills became an NDC member in the US and a thiff from the US; this man was a teacher who could not finish building his own house in Accra ; the ma is appointed the CEO of Accra Metropolitan Area and the calls himself a Mayor ; suddenly the man becomes rich and builds another two houses ; he then sets a task force to collect cash from market traders which is brought to his office every eveing part to be taken to the flagstaff houses ; Oko then sets up this racket with builders and contractors to build illegal structures in Accra and collects cash from them ;K+OKO VADER PUJE IS CORRUPT THE STINKS LIKE FAECES ALL OVER HIM : NO DOUBT JJ RAWLINGS JUST TOLD HIM TO BACKOFF !!!!!!!!;

SYCOPHANCY IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD IS TOO MUCH.WHAT WAS HE APPROACHING RAWLINGS FOR?HE WAS GOING TO DO "YES SIR MASSA".THAT IS WHY AFRICAN LEADERS ARE POWER DRUNK. WE TREAT PEOPLE IN POWER LIKE GOD ON EARTH.AM SURE IF RAWLING WAS CARRYING A MERE NEWSPAPER OKOE WOULD HAVE ASKED TO CARRY IT FOR HIM
