Papa ‘J’, he is usually called, and Nana Konadu, have five children named Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, Kimathi Rawlings, Amina Rawlings, Yaa Asantewaa Rawlings, Ezenator Rawlings.
The couple’s legacy in politics has been carried down by their eldest daughter, Dr. Zanetor Rawlings, who is now a Member of Parliament for the KlotteyKorle Constituency under the National Democratic Congress, of which J.J was a founding father.
However, after such a long married life and a successful legacy to leave behind, one would ask how their love story came about.
J.J Rawlings, who was featured in an upcoming episode of actress Yvonne Okoro’s Dining with Cooks and Braggarts programme, explained that it took him five years to gain Nana Konadu’s attention.
In snippet sighted by YEN on Yvonne’s Instagram page, Rawlings recalled having to show interest in her friends initially, just so he could walk beside them.
He said it wasn’t until one Sunday, that he invited Konadu out and she accepted, which surprised him since she was apparently always hostile to him.
