    So, then why was he killed like that. ?. You don't know your history. Kotoka was bamboozled by CIA. He made a big mistake. You should go back to the library and read history.

  • ST GHFUO: Ghana, cleanliness is Godliness 4 days ago

    What dictatorship? Nkrumah always used the votes to rule. Dictators don't engage in voting..if you want to defeat him let the people vote for you..

    The airport should revert to its original name. Accra International Airport. It is not rocket science to come to this conclusion. An international airport located in the capital city of Accra.

    @An Endorsement of corruption. Show us the evidence that he took 10 million dollars bribe from the CIA. Don't hide behind your tribalistic sentiments to undermine Kotoka because he was from the Volta Region.
