Reports from Ghana say the country's charismatic former president, Jerry John Rawlings has died. JJ was a larger than life character. He defined an entire generation of young Ghanaians and love him or loathe him, his presence loomed large in all our lives. So many stories to tell

I will never forget casually running into President Rawlings at the Volta Hotel in Akosombo. Like literally sitting down at the bar and having a chat because that's how the guy was. Low profile some times and just the general jolly fellow. #ripRawlings
