    SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT IT.

  • Benji 1 month ago

    Rawlings cleaned the system. No more coups after him. Kotoka opened the era of coups in Ghana. Good thing his name will be removed from our international airport. If NPP loves him so much we can name Kumasi airport after him.

    No, I am telling you the truth because as a Ghanaian, I know then and now. When we used to go to Enchi, Dadieso, Asankragwa, etc, we crossed the Ankobra river before Hiawa. It was clear and the people of Hiawa used it for the ...

    We need another revolution to sanitise our broken system. Firing squad is the most effective deterrent for Ghanaians and the next one will be massive.

    If Kotoka is a murderer, Rawlings is mean-spirited person who killed for killing sake. How many people did Kotoka kill, and what about JJ?
