Nana Addo now thinks the only way for him is to create fear and panic so he is praying for misfortune to befall Ghana. But humiliation awaits him in 2016.

Nana should remember that for saying all-die-be-die (which is an abomination before the Lord), he will suffer God's curse down to four generations after him. He will suffer the worst humiliation in 2016.

Is not NANA but your evil NDC and corrupt Mahama is the reason to all this bad thing going on day after day in Ghana. When the devil rules what do you expect?

I went through Kotoka last two days and I could sense something like potholes on the runway. Ghanaians and big talk do little must be careful.

You are absolutely right. The Accra airport - and Ghana's only international gateway - needs to undergo expansion and thorough modernization. Ethiopian Airways has been in business the longest on the African continent and their pilots are very experienced.

Without innovation, there will be more serious disasters than this incident to come!

IT A SHAME LEADERS IN GHANA CONTINUE TO LOOSE SIGHT OF IMPORTANT PRIORITIES ONLY TO THEIR SELFISH PERSONAL GAINS AND MASTER SLAQVE MENTALITY. ALWAYS BLACK PEOPLE CONTINUE SLAVE MENTALITY. THE SITTING GOVERNMENT SPENT SO MUCH FOR AN OLD AIRPORT WHICH CONTINUE TO LOOK LIKE CHICKEN COUP AND THESE LEADERS HAVE BEEN THROUGH OVERSEAS AIRPORTS BUT YET CONTENT WITH SUCH MATUSELLER BUILDING. IGNORANCE IS A DISEASE WHICH GHANA AND AFRICA LEADERS CONTINUE TO EMBRASE AND ALLOW TO COVER THEIR PEOPLE BECAUSE OF LACK OF SIMPLE KNOWLEDGE.

In Russia, last year January 1$=29rubles today a dollar is 79rubles and no one blames Putin, not even talking about economic hardships here. They keep on with their normal life, Mahama is not God, but I can tell you he is a good leader.

less u forget what yr Atta Mills said that "there are so many ways of killing the cat" but no said notin abt this.. All NDC no is divert statement made by his political look as evil.. but yr statement are the best... were u not in ghana when pple were been frustrated. beating and denied registration when yr so called asomdwe hene was confronted what did he said "he said he's not a policeman" yet still u called him man of peace without showing any peace act.. Nana only said all die be die which means he and party are going to stand firmly and defend the electoral boxes and prevent the stealing of ballot box which the NDC are found of doing.. Nana addo by his action shows that he's a man of peace.. listen what he said after the supreme court verdict" We disagree to agree" this are the wolds of a peaceful man. yr actions will determine who u are Nana Addo the man of peace...

Yaw, although Atta Mills was the most useless leader, second only to John Mahama, do not "credit" him with that statement. The statement was made by Nana Okumkra Dr. Kwabena Adjei, ex-chairman of the NDC.

Was it not just recently that a report came out that Kotoka International Airport stood the chance of losing it's status because of stray animals including goats, sheep, fowls, chicken, dogs, cats, having turned the runway of the KIA and the immediate environs of the airport into their playground under the AVM Dovlo chaired Ghana Civil Aviation Authority?
As per the story, Ghana has had worse Harmattan seasons over the years, but such accidents, rarely happens.
Under the Mahama NDC gov't the so-called international airport has become the playground of goats, cats, and all sorts of animals playing hide and seek on the runway/tarmac of the Kotoka International Airport.
This brings to mind the Mahama NDC gov'ts promise of building two world class international airports comparable to any international airport in any part of the developed world? Where are those airports which they promised would be ready by 2016?

Poor journalism,how can you speak on the weather and quote business and financial times as source.If ghananians continue to disregard the meteorological agency they should expect more of such weather related accidents.The government should stop wasting money elsewhere and help the Gmet to employ more highly qualified meteorologist.To the guys in the aviation industry just recount previous accidents in the industry both home and abroad,about 90% of the cases are weather related.Never under rate the meteorologist and let's help them to do a better job.Weather and Climate related issues are more of a narional security concern than terrorism.Just recall how the president was beaten by heavy rain on 6th march 2013.A word to the wise.......
