I support you so much. There is nothing in Ghana that we can be proud of as ours. We always want to weigh our lives against the developed world. How can we be proud of where we and what we have

This lecturer only has book knowledge but no home sense. The name Dunai adds spice and gives people added pleasure going to Kwame Nkrumah Circle.

Please Mr Professor, keep your views to only Legon and don't worry us. It is clear you can't think far!

The accusations on trotro drivers and mates are misdirected. It is NDC ministers and propagandists the who first attached Dubai to the project and was lifted up by the drivers and mates.

We hear Nana Addo has vowed never to use the Accra Dubai Interchange. His prayer was for the project to fail but since it is a gargantuan success, the solution is never to use it, simple. Or, if he has to because there is no alternative, Nana will simply close his eyes and pretend he is asleep to avoid seeing the New York in Accra.

U lack common sense and don't understand what the intellectual was saying . Fools like u are setting Gh back . Now read and learn . That interchange is named ' Kwame Nkrumah Circle ' but this useless and corrupt Mahama led NDC government gave it the name 'Dubia ' and is catching on with Ghanaians so if care is not taken 'Nkrumah ' name will be a thing of the past . I agreee with the smart writer 120% . So learn sense ok .

The Trotton drivers and their mates have found a very easy way to communicate and ply their business. Accra Dubai is too romantic and catchy a phrase for the ordinary transport operators. Nkrumah statue there is enough for visitors and academics. 'Dubai' is for business operations.

It's not known who told Ghanaian's that this type of design comes from Dubai. You are perfectly right, most Ghanaians exaggerate always. The interchange is referred to Dr Nkrumah and not Dubai. Let's make everything possible avoid the propaganda name given to the newly built edifice, God Bless Ghana.

This is much ado about nothing. That is the choice of the people and nothing can make it otherwise.
The lectuerr's concern should be about how to maintain the Interchange and not the nickname given to it.

Folks are referring to the Nkrumah circle interchange as Dubai because of the dancing fountain at the site. A bigger version of that kind of fountain can be found in Dubai.... Just google and enjoy the spectacle.

You see, John Mahama's reverence for Dubai is a result of his investments in that city. He is drawing attention to his 5-star hotel, but guess what? All shall pass.

The NPP is behind the name DUBAI being used for Nkrumah circle. They are very good with vile propaganda to kill the name of Nkrumah but it will never succeed. After the 1966 coup they burnt all images of Nkrumah and his books that they could lay hands on, and admonished Ghanaians not to possess Nkrumah's books or image.The name Nkrumah circle will not die.
