Ghanaians did not waste their precious time to vote for NDC ,just for them to come and do Renaming of KIA. There are urgent issues like Difficulties in Transportation and Water issues for them to fix.How many Ghanaians use KIA? Less than 2% of the population use that place.

All over the world, most International Airports are named to honour Some Iconic figures or personalities.

My point is that if we say the name Kotoka is not decent enough a figure to be for our International Airport to be named after, then let's get a name of the National Iconic figure to be honoured. A name that will be nationally uniting enough. It should not be done as a means of satisfying the Gas who have been constantly advocating for the change of Kotoka's name because they claimed the facility is in Accra. Bear in mind that recently as usual, they have begun fronting and advocating for the change of the Ghanaian Iconic identity "Akwaaba" at the Airport to "Obaake" a term they just woke up and coined just last night from their sleep. President Mahama consider a name that is uniting enough. Kwame Nkrumah International Airport, I think in my opinion should be the best name to give .

We have Indira Ghandi International Airport( New Delhi), John F. Kennedy International Airport ( New York), Charles de Guile International Airport ( Paris). Ronald Reagan National Airport( Washington), John Lennon International Airport, Liverpool, Nelson Mandela International Airport(Cape Verde) QR Tambo International Airport( Johannesburg) Muhammed Murtala International Airport( Lagos) Namdi Azikiwe International Airport ( Abuja) King Shaka International Airport, SA. George Best Belfast City Airport, Sheremetyovo International Airport(Russia), Domededovo International Airpot( Russia), Franz Josef Strauss International Airport( Germany) Konrad Adenauer International Airport Germany Chriggis Khea International Airport, the names go on.

Ghanaians are fools, Stuoid people who are idealistic entitled and very lazy these ppl don't think. Simple airport naming even if you are too stupid and can't think ...why can't you look at the Canadians, the Americans the British do you see London Airport or NYC Airport or Montreal Airport over there? NEVER! the airports are named after PROMINENT PEOPLE, not after a city. So the very idea of naming the Airport ACCRA AIRPORT IS VERY STUOID TO BEGIN WITH. NKRUMAH STOOD FOR SOMETHING. IF YOU IPEN A RESTAURANT AND CALL IT NKRUMAH YOU BEST BELIEVE THIS RESTAURANT WULL BE DISEASE FREE, VERY ETHICAL PLACE TO EAT and who don't want that. We have gatwick, Heathrow, jfk, ohare, Pearson, Trudeau etc ....GHANAIANS THINKOOO. THINK!

Pass the foreigner rental bill....also start sentencing these nigerian scammers, etc swiftly &publicly as a deterrent.....
All Landlords renting to foreigners for stay must register their tenants details at the nearest police station. Invest in the infrastructure- you won't be disappointed. You did it with Ghana card.
This is done in China to prevent crime and abuse by foreigners in China. Failure to comply is 6 months in jail and a fine.
What foreign criminal wanting to do ashawo, scam, etc would want their details at the police station? So Ghana becomes unattractive for nigerian crimes.

-Gov't should fund monthly workshops to educate Ghana Immigration on WHY they must secure our borders-this is lack of education and ignorance. Our forefathers died for you to have a country and today you are selling GH passport for $5k and 20GHS for crossborder?shame on you.......

Educating is important. Gh can work and prosper. We can do this

Majority of Ghanaians in support of the name Change will prevail over the tiny minorities canvassing for the name stay. It could be that a mad man at the time has suggested to the stupid leaders to name the airport after a coup baker. It doesn’t make sense keeping the name of kotoka and we must applaud the government for this noble cause. Accra international airport is the right name to be embossed on the airport. Most airports globally use the name ACC for check in and other services at the airports.

Having said that, I am worried of the country revisiting history and making changes to what is part of our history. You can argue left or right, Kotoka is part of our history and the name of the airport is already established so why change it now? On the other hand, Kotoka was an agent of the CIA who conspired and overthrew Nkrumah so why should we honour him? Both arguments are legitimate.

Look at the SLAVE TRADE, the white man and woman see black people as fools and followers of their STUPID culture like blacks should become GAY but GAY SEX BROUGHT HIV and AIDS and there are no free health care and medicines in Africa. In Africa we have to pay our hospital fees and pay for our medicines but we don't have any money or work to do.

Kotoka is a murderer? He and the other Military and Police Gallant Officers who overthrew Nkrumah helped preventing Ghana to become a One Party State and Nkrumah to become the President for life. Nkrumah was a damn Dictator that he had no Deputy or Vice President during all his dictatorial years as President. Even his main Lieutenants like Gbedemah fled into exile
He constructed the Nsawam Detention Prison where he dumped his Political Opponents like J.B Danquah, Obitsebi Lamptey, among others and left them die in Prison and buried them in Prison Cemetery without any epithet. It is excellent he also died in Prison at a lonely place. Even his own wife Fathia and children abandoned him and he died lonely in his afforded quarters. Nkrumah failed to appreciate that NO POSITION IS PERMANENT. AND WHERE ONE THINKS IT IS, DEATH TERMINATES IT. Nkrumah was just a horrible dictator without mercy and treated his Political opponents with miserable cruelty in a supposed Democratic Government.

You did it with free SHS..A booming economy is when consumers are able to spend and spend.....why are people spending, buying in Dubai, UAE? You get an organic economy not an artificial economy...it's still why things are so expensive. This is how China's economy grew.

Subsidise petrol to make it cost less, this will drive down prices and encourage alot and alot job creation, more consumer spend for you to make your money back through taxation.
Ghanaians will have alot to money to spend.
left to save for projects.
It also strengthens the cedi against the dollar, inflation...so you don't need to artificially pump billions of dollars to create artificial strong cedi. Instead use it to subsidise petrol. Cedi will stabilise naturally.
5 yrs jail and a fine for smugglers. For benefit of Ghana and Ghanaians ONLY
They focused on dollar and not petrol and wonder why economy never worked.
You get 2 for 1 bargain..Ghana what are we doing struggling? lack of knowledge

The renaming is irrelevant. Kotoka was among the Gallant men who spared their lives and prevented Kwame Nkrumah from turning Ghana into a One Party Dictatorial Regime and a country like North Korea. It is largely because of him that we can all print what we like now.
I very much remember the joy that erupted in Ghana when he was overthrown and also died in exile as he made many people die in exile too. He was the only President with never had a Vice President. That is the truth and I know because he was not a baby when I was growing up.when Nkrumah was overthrown.
I don’t live in Ghana and don’t very much care about how they name Ghana but I think Kotoka should remain the name of the Airport. Did we not have Sankara Circle? What did he do to help in the Development of Ghana in any way? We had the name Sankara Circle because he was the friend of Efo Julor Jeremiah Rawlings who deceived many Ghanaian youth that the two were Socialists. How was that important to Ghana? Anlo Ewes should stand against this nonsense because Kotoka is their hero and should be respected and remembered for ever.Anlo Ewes should get up and protest against this. If care is not taken, the name of the Airport will be changed whenever there is a change of Government in the Political terrain. Let us maintain the name Kotoka On the International Airport.
Thank you.

Nkrumah was not a murderer but dumped his Political Opponents who made him what he became into Nsawam Prison and let them die in Prison when someone like J.B Danquah was becoming Blind and Obitsebi Lamptey was dying and Doctors had recommended that he be discharged to go and die at home. Nkrumah made them die in Prison and buried them at the Prison Cemetery without any Epithets. This shows how callous and cruel and wicked Nkrumah was. It was excellent he also had a lonely death.

The only Ghanaian president who truly deserves to be honored by renaming the Accra International Airport after him is Kwame Nkrumah. Kotoka was traitor villain coward and sneaky soldier whose actions set Ghana on the path of regression and underdevelopment. Whoever disagrees and desires to honor this western puppet can construct their own airport wherever they choose but definitely not in Accra. The NLC spearheaded by the two morons Kotoka and Afrifa did more harm than good to Ghana. The NLC stood for NATIONAL LOSERS COUNCIL. To hell with Kotoka and Afrifa!

Thete are certain things you have to let sleeping dogs lie. Thete are already fractures simmering underneath the NDC between Northerners and Voltarians.

This renaming could be seen as an attack on Ewes and will not bode well for the NDC Party given thst its the main bloc that serves as the foundation of the Party.

Kotoka is a MURDERER who killed Lt. General BARWAH INFRONT OF HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN. Kotoka was a TRAITOR and an UNPATRIOTIC EWE who took $10 Million US dollars BRIBE FROM THE CIA TO BETRAY MOTHER GHANA. IGP HARLLEY AND THE DEPUTY IGP DEKU WITH KOTOKA TOOK THE CIA BRIBES OF 10 MILLION US DOLLARS EACH TO BETRAY MOTHER GHANA. WE SHOULD NOT HONOUR TRAITORS AND UNPATRIOTIC PEOPLE. Will the white man and woman take you black MONKEY money to betray their countries. The answer is OBVIOUS NEVER. You see what the white man and woman have destroyed Libya bu killing Gadafi. Black people should be careful with the white man and woman because white people only want to take advantage of black people with our gold, cocoa, diamond etc etc.

To every course for changing a name of a National Monument to another, there might be a reason. And for me, if General Kotoka should be honored for his bravery as a soldier, he should be named after any of the facilities or streets within one of the Military Camps in the country and not the International Airport. Because he (Kotoka) has played no role in building the Airport that had been transformed by the Head of state that he led to overthrow. So therefore, the changing of his name from the Airport is long overdue.

Ghanaians hailed the coup that overthrew Nkrumah when it happened until we got to know that Nkrumah was the best president whose achievements cannot be paralleled by any president. Ghana will never ever see the likes of Nkrumah in our political arena. We cannot change the past so let’s move on . Nkrumah should have something named after him in all our regional capitals to honor him .

In my opinion this is a misplaced priority, not necessary. Unless Ghana will get any thing from it.

What Ghanaians are divided over the renaming of the airport? I know of only one section of Ghanaians which for obvious reasons would t want a change. The question to ask is what dis that kotoka so for Ghana as a whole for his name to be in the only international airport? Even General Acheampong who was a head of state and had so many developments done under his administration doesn't have anything named after him. That traitorous guy's name should be removed asap from the airport.

Ghanaians hailed the coup that overthrew Nkrumah when it happened until we got to know that Nkrumah was the best president whose achievements cannot be paralleled by any president. Ghana will never ever see the likes of Nkrumah in our political arena. We cannot change the past so let’s move on . Nkrumah should have something named after him in all our regional capitals to honor him .
