You are a very short- sighted person-IDIOT. The whole of the Ghana population were illiterates. The British left us with no educated men and women. Secondly-we needed and still need ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE-We are NOW IN ECONOMIC SLAVE TRADE-that is where the West want us BLACKS-to clean their toilets, So the West saw Dr Nkrumah advocating economic independence as a threat to the STATUS QUO. You see the West eliminated Gadaffi but look at LIBYA NOW-The West have destroyed Libya. So the CIA used the J B Danquah, Kotoka, Deku, Harley etc to destabilise Ghana and Africa. The West IS NOT Africa friend. Now the USA CIA Donald Trump is putting blacks-Africans in CHAINS TO DEPORT US.
I do NOT support the NDC or the NPP- I support MY COUNTRY GHANA- I love Dr Kwame Nkrumah to pieces-to death for HIS SELFLESS LEADERSHIP- He built NOT even 1 ROOM for HIMSELF. NKRUMAH NEVER DIES. Dr Kwame Nkrumah IS A TRUE PATRIOT.

But where are we now? Ghana is a FAILED STATE. That was why in 2024 Ghana went to the IMF and the World Bank Cup in hand to beg for a bailout. What did we receive in return for betraying our country. I ask you will the white man and woman accept you black monkey money to betray their country? The ANSWER IS OBVIOUS-NO. We BLACKS people are unpatriotic and very selfish. The WHITEMAN see us as the followers of their STUPID culture. Look at China and India, they stick to their culture and language in their schools and education system and they have made it. African children are dying in their thousands in the Mediterranean sea. Bye bye you BLACK PEOPLE ARE THEIR OWN DOWNFALL-BLACKS HATE EACH OTHER. The white man or woman will NEVER betray thair COUNTRIES to you the BLACK MONEY. But we took their money and AFRICAN CHILDREN ARE DYING IN THEIT THOUSANDS IN THE MEDITERRENEAN SEA TO REACH EUROPE-ITALY AND SPAIN

Dr Kwame Nkrumah also did so much for the north as well interms of education:
Ghana College, Tamale, Government secondary school, Tamale, Bawku, Yendi, Lawra, Wa, Nalerigu Damongo secondary schools etc.. You are right Kwame Nkrumah was a visionary leader. He did all this in less than 9years.
What a big loss he has been to the nation!!! His compulsory policy of education for all children gave some of us especially from the north the opportunity to go to school. Otherwise my father had no clue about education and didn’t see the need for his children to go to school.

May GOD ALMIGHTY give him wisdom , anchor and victory to be able to do this again with sustained efforts.
Don't forget Acherensua Secondary School (Achisco) which was the only secondary school in Ahafo until 1970 when Busia converted Hwidiem and Mim Training Colleges to secondary schools. And other schools like Yaa Asantewaah Secondary School, Konongo Odumasi Secondary School, and many more. You can easily identify the schools by the similar buildings, which were constructed under the Education Trust Fund. Nkrumah was selfless, and a visioner. Up to the present, nobody has come out to accuse him of corruption or kalabule. He left no mansion or assets. Akuffo Addo family and the Akyem traitors are thieves, and with fake British vocal accents.------------------66666

Mr. Odateifio's solemn appeal is well-founded and plausible. Mr. President, as a true Nkrumahist, please give ears to this call to duty. The man Kotoka, as a coup leader in cooperation with evil foreign detractors who overthrew Kwame Nkrumah and put a break on our progress and development, cannot bear the name of an Airport built by Kwame Nkrumah himself. It is very absurd and incomprehensible. Dr. Kofi Annan, who promoted Ghana and its name worldwide, deserves to have an airport named after him to remember his contributions to national pride, development and to have his name honored forever.

Naming KIA after Kotoka was to appease the people of VOLTA Region. It was the location where he was brutally murdered shortly after leading the coup to remove the Osagyefo. There was a general suspicion that his death was staged by his colleagues in the National Liberation Council. Africa who succeeded Kotoka as Head of State was considered a prime suspect in the death of Kotoka. He was an Ashanti. If you cannot understand the hatred of VOLTA towards Ashanti in our national politics, look no further. Th3 outcome of the NLC coup after Kotoka's murder, was a case of monkeys work baboon come chop. If we will succeed as a nation, we must face our hidden ghosts.

Rawlings of 1979 was an innocent adventurist. But Rawlings of 31st December 1981 was a repackaged discovery set on a course to complete Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka's work. And he sure did to perfection. He is worshipped by his people for the success and power he brought to them. The revolution's hidden purpose was to counter a perceived emerging Ashanti hegemony in Ghana. Unfortunately, that singular quest for counter hegemony, successfully completed, prevents this country from bonding to become a nation.If we will succeed as a nation, we. must be bold to face our ghosts.

But where are we now? Ghana is a FAILED STATE. That was why in 2024 Ghana went to the IMF and the World Bank Cup in hand to beg for a bailout. What did we receive in return for betraying our country. I ask you will the white man and woman accept you black monkey money to betray their country? The ANSWER IS OBVIOUS-NO. We BLACKS people are unpatriotic and very selfish. The WHITEMAN see us as the followers of their STUPID culture. Look at China and India, they stick to their culture and language in their schools and education system and they have made it. African children are dying in their thousands in the Mediterranean sea. Bye bye you BLACK PEOPLE ARE THEIR OWN DOWNFALL-BLACKS HATE EACH OTHER. The white man or woman will NEVER betray thair COUNTRIES to you the BLACK MONEY. But we took their money and AFRICAN CHILDREN ARE DYING IN THEIT THOUSANDS IN THE MEDITERRENEAN SEA TO REACH EUROPE-ITALY AND SPAIN

Dr Kwame Nkrumah also did so much for the north as well interms of education:
Ghana College, Tamale, Government secondary school, Tamale, Bawku, Yendi, Lawra, Wa, Nalerigu Damongo secondary schools etc.. You are right Kwame Nkrumah was a visionary leader. He did all this in less than 9years.
What a big loss he has been to the nation!!! His compulsory policy of education for all children gave some of us especially from the north the opportunity to go to school. Otherwise my father had no clue about education and didn’t see the need for his children to go to school.

May GOD ALMIGHTY give him wisdom , anchor and victory to be able to do this again with sustained efforts.
Don't forget Acherensua Secondary School (Achisco) which was the only secondary school in Ahafo until 1970 when Busia converted Hwidiem and Mim Training Colleges to secondary schools. And other schools like Yaa Asantewaah Secondary School, Konongo Odumasi Secondary School, and many more. You can easily identify the schools by the similar buildings, which were constructed under the Education Trust Fund. Nkrumah was selfless, and a visioner. Up to the present, nobody has come out to accuse him of corruption or kalabule. He left no mansion or assets. Akuffo Addo family and the Akyem traitors are thieves, and with fake British vocal accents.------------------

Mr Odarteifio just just explains the type of corn bread brain your mom conceived you with. Where is your wisdom? Where is your knowledge? Where is your understanding. You have lost your mind. Sit somewhere and keep eating you kenkey and sand filled fried fish. How low can you you go asking for Akuffo Addo name among others to be considered with regards to living being. Please keep your IQ level 29 to yourself and your family. Ok. Please don't stop eating your kenkey. Final reminder,eat more kenkey. Ok

Nkrumah's error is positive and negative.
Some of his ideologies be came unbearable with his one party state, PTA, dictatorship, etc

He also did some good work by embarking on industralization, infrastructure, free education, construction of schools, etc

Some innocent families were deprived of their fathers due to the Preventive Detention Acts over several years and some even died in prisons.

Some flew to neighboring Countries to avoid imprisonment and died in foreign land.

The Kotoka coup writes history which must be remembered in history.

The naming of the Airport tells about history and it was not about the 24 February 1966 coup but the abortive coup of 17 April 1967 which led to the murder of Kotoka at the Airport by Sd Lt Yeboah.

So naming of the Airport after Kotoka is a history, positive and negative depending on individual perception and experiences.

My take.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION, YAA ASANTEWWAA DID NOT ENGAGE IN ANY FIGHT. YAA WAS ALREADY OLD WHEN SHE WAS CAPTURED. PROBABLY IN HER 50S OR 60S. SHE WASN'T A SOLDIER AND NEVER SAW WAR. SHE WAS JUST EMOTIONAL, UNDERSTANDABLY !! JUST LIKE ANY AFRICA WOMAN WOULD DO. THE MEN WERE SHAKENED BY THE BRITS AND YAA SPOKE OUT OF EMOTIONS. AFTER HER SPEECH SHE RAN AND HID IN THE BUSHES. SHE WAS CAPTURED AND SENT INTO EXILE. BUT YOU THESE PEOPLE HAVE SANITIZED, DEODORIZED AND SANTACLAUSIFIED THE YAA ASANTEWAA'S STORY.
