HE SWORE AN OATH TO DEFEND THE COUNTRY AND ITS CONSTITUTION. America deceived and encouraged Nkrumah to be part of the UN peace mission in far away Asia, while they plotted and gave ammunition to coup plotters to overthrow him in his absence. Led by the forebears of today's nation wrecking NPP- who had been beaten at the polls by Nkrumah even in the Ashanti Region, they turned traitors, came to power and readily sold all of the national assets to they what masters and turned us from nascent producer country into a consumer pseudo-capitalist state, importing everything from their white masters. So, here we are today..... they still say they "have the men" to lead while they rape the country raw-raw!

They killed a national hero (Dr Nkrumah) and named an important institution after a national traitor (Kotoka) just because he did their dirty work for them. And the descendants of these terrorists, Ghana's first ever terrorists and hopefully the last, are busy trying to change the narrative in order to discredit Dr Nkrumah and paint their terrorist forefathers as heroes.

Ghanaians, after gaining a lot of money and building a mansion in Accra or Kumasi, if you don't think of building a good mansion in your hometown for yourself and your relatives, somewhere in the districts, then I don't know what to say of you. What would you do with your money? In a certain constituency, no one knows the MPs house o! No one knows the minister's mansion. Does he really hail from the constituency? If the MP or minister hasn't thought of building a house or mansion in the constituency, then why would he think of tarring a road or building a hospital. Ghana fo), yen hwe yie!

This is very unfair to be honest. So why should Ghanaians allow the name Kotoka a traitor, and a nation destroyer to be named after our airport? I strongly believe that, if there should be any person who is loyal, and have the love for his country, to be named after Ghana's International Airport, it rather must be "Barwah". Naming him after a Barracks in Tamale, is absolutely rubbish and unacceptable!!

Ohene Djan, Now Accra Sports Stadium

“The Accra Metropolitan Authority (AMA) has finally succeeded in restoring the name �Accra Sports Stadium� to the nation�s Wembley after months of debate to strip it off the new name- �Ohene Djan Stadium�.

When Daily Guide Sports took a trip to the stadium some hired artisans were busily embossing the new name at the entrance of the Stadium as well as the opposite side of the Independence Square.

However, attempts by our team to get the Chief Executive of the National Sports Council (NSC), Wolanyo Agra, to comment on the matter yielded no results.

Late last year, the Alfred Vanderpuije-led AMA issued a statement regarding the change of name from Ohene Djan to Accra Sports Stadium but the Authority�s decision to effect the change was greeted with intense public outcry. The release stated that the Stadium is on Ga land and that maintaining the �Accra Stadium� is ideal.

The NPP government changed the name from Accra Sports Stadium and named it after Ghana�s first Sports Director, the late Ohene Djan, for his exceptional leadership qualities.

It was part of re-naming the country�s sporting facilities, in which Kumasi Sports Stadium was named after Baba Yara, one of Ghana�s legendary footballers”

Source: Kofi Owusu Aduonum

U see how the gadangme were so pissed off bu the name ohene djan saying that, he’s wasn’t an INDIGENE of Accra but is KOTOKA an indigene of Accra?

These same people ll turned around and called ASHANTIS tribalistic when we have BABA YARA stadium in Kumasi without any fuss!!

Why all the hatred against Ashanti’s in Ghana? Why?

God is watching this CESSPOOL nation and the hatred ll destroy this nation one day!

More important than his loyalty to his boss is the fact he spent his time ensuring that Ghana's soldiers and their children received a decent education, and he even used his spare time to teach classes to soldiers and their children. That's a love for one's country. Ghana would have been far better off today had the USA not meddled in Ghana's affairs under the false pretext of trying to prevent socialism from sweeping across the African continent. The USA that chastised Nkrumah for having close relations with China and Russia today is the largest consumer of goods made in China.

Please,as young as you all may be,the truth they say is only one,to stand out.Kwame Nkrumah did some positive things for Ghana,but,was no saint.He exterminated a lot of his detractors,let me tell all who care to know the history of this country based on facts not biased allegations, before his overthrow, Nkrumah was a de facto dictator,tolerance zero to anything contrary to his own whims and aspirations.It came to a point even parents were afraid to criticize him in their private homes due to the ideology he enshrined in youth group he created,the notorious ' Young Pioneers,where children were explicitly thought to report their own parents,if ever they hear them condemning Osagyefuo , total brain washing the kids to turn over their own papa and mama because,the state apparatchiks ,come first before family like Russia.These aberration happened live in Ghana,many parents were sent to cells,some never came back again,never seen ever ,disappear forever.

Stop peddling lies.

1. Kotoka was not a Lieutenant Colonel. He was a substantive Colonel (as indicated on the cap badge of his headgear), but became a Lieutenant General overnight, skipping the ranks of Brigadier and Major General.

2. Major General Nathan Aferi was not in Ghana at the time of the stupidity. How could he have been placed under house arrest?

3. Afrifa was a substantive captain and acting major. He also skipped the ranks of substantive major, lieutenant colonel and colonel to become a brigadier overnight. He, again, skipped the rank of major general to become lieutenant general after masterminding the murder of Kotoka.

4. Barwah was not a colonel. He was the Army commander. Even, Hassan, who was under his command was brigadier, above the rank of colonel. Barwah was a 2-star general: that is, major general.

You're just a demented and misguided idiot. Even the USA that helped to stage the 1966 coup will not tolerate any one in the USA making threat on the life of the USA President let alone throw bombs at the President. The Busia/Danquah Tradition of Terrorists were an entitled group of mis-educated nation-wreckers who felt they deserved to rule Ghana in spite of having lost at polls to Nkrumah, and they resorted to throwing bombs in an effort to assassinate Nkrumah. Not too long ago, this Akufo-Addo government had certain suspects arrested and tried in court for allegedly plotting to stage a coup against the NPP government of Akufo-Addo. No shots were ever fired, nor was any one caught at any location engaging in carrying out a coup. If that is enough for them to be arrested and prosecuted, for makes you think it's wrong to have arrested and prosecuted the masterminds behind the bomb-throwing and other acts of sabotage against the Nkrumah government? From the time the Busia/Danquah saboteurs discovered they stood no chance of winning at the ballot box, they set out on a bomb-throwing rampage while also colluding with the USA to stage a coup in Ghana. This was at a time when the USA was the chief instigator of coups around the globe. It wasn't until Jimmy Carter became President of the USA that America's CIA was restrained from conducting killings of foreign leaders and staging coups in other countries. The Busia/Danquah Tradition of Terrorists was engaged in heinous acts against Nkrumah and many other Ghanaians, resulting in eaths due to bombs thrown by the Busia/Danquah Tradition of Terrorists. These terrorist s were hell-bent on attaining political power at all cost, and it did not matter to them if innocent children were killed as a result of their bomb-throwing. The Nkrumah government had no choice but arrest and prosecute these terrorists for their bomb-throwing activities and plots.

What conspiracy theories? It's a fact that 1966 coup was orchestrated by the CIA with it Ghana co-conspirators the Busia/Danquah Tradition of Terrorists and Traitors. The speeches read over the radio by the coup-makers disparaging Nkrumah and his government were written by the CIA attache at the USA embassy in Ghana. But Karma never forgets. The same USA that fueled this coup was itself to witness a coup attempt by its own defeated President Trump and his demented Nazi followers. And those Ghana coup-makers ended up receiving the same medicine they forced down the throats of others when they staged their coup in 1966. Karma is indeed a boomerang.
