Why should the national/public university university be named after a murderer? Was the school funded from his pocket or by funds from the nation's coffers? Ghanaians must stop from worshiping people. If that is the case let us name the Kpong Dam and Keneshie super market and some secondary school establish by Gen. Kutu Acheampong after him. Let name all the schools including Distant learning programs, the road exchanges build by Kuffour after him, and name all that Mahama would build after Mahama. "Eben mboasem na Ghanafo redie yi"

Mohammed, Flt Lt Rawlings is NOT courageous. Ask Cpl Mathew Adabuga of One Recce, the soldier who picked up Rawlings drove him to GBC to read the speech that was written for the 1981 coup. The courageous Adabuga from Navrongo and Cpl Brimah from Liman's hometown, the Ghana Secondary School educated Sgt Akata-Pore are around. Cross check. Get the book GHANA THE STRUGGLE FOR POPULAR POWER RAWLINGS SAVIOUR OR DEMAGOGUE, by Zaya Yeebo, 1991, NEW BEACON, LONDON N4 for further information.
He is not selfless. Just ask any member of the AFRC and PNDC members. Yes, he played the key role in establishing UDS, I thank him. And that is it. No renaming of any educational institute after a man who can't write a sentence nor read, militaristic, human rights violator. Over 200 Ghanaians including Flt Lt. Dome were killed by his regime according to Kwesi Pratt. Mohammed, do you know he educated his children in the best European universities? Who paid?
We as a nation should be discussing how to increase quality education, making education relevant to the economy, reducing the massive corruption in the universities, where VCs, deans, administrators openly steal funds..... and not any renaming of UDS after a coup maker, who lied to president Liman that he would protect him.

Talking about job creation: Kwame Nkrumah surpasses all including J.J. If every establishment a leader creates should bear his/her name, then all the secondary schools, Akosombo Dam, Tema Esatate, Tema Harbor, Peduase Lodge, Nyaneba Estate, Tetteh Quarshie, Tema Motorway, etc should all bear Nkrumah's name.

Well done Ghana Black Stars, but we really have to do something about our defence before Brazil 2014. Our defence looks very shaky and will easily crumble against some teams at the world cup. The young boy who played the right back against Egypt and who caused the penalty seems too inexperience, but I'm sure would have learnt a lot from that penalty. You can't give such easy penalties to your opponents, especially at the world cup.

I have always maintained the idea that the worst civilian government is better than the best military govt and that has always been true. List one nation under the sun that has done well under a military leadership ?. Rawlings came by the gun, killed our fellow countrymen for crimes he did very well encouraged later in life, killed some very smart business men and women in the name of corruption yet he was worse until the late Prof Adu Boahen of blessed memory stood up against him leading to the liberation of our country Ghana from military rule. This guy Rawlings thinks he is smarted than every Ghanaian but then when some of these Ghanaians sat in the same classroom with him they did better and went on to become doctors, lawyers, engineers through the hard way he was fortunate to have found himself in the air force. I hope he does not wake up one morning and call himself a doctor because he is not. I hope the UDS will let the name stay as it is and allow this guy to die and go in peace. We have had enough from him and the Jezebel of a wife Konadu. God bless Ghana and make this nation become a god country with right thinking people to serve as a beacon of hope for the black man who has lingered in the dark for far too long.

Rawlings closed down universities in Ghana in 1981-82, one whole year. His thugs raided the Legon campus raped students, beat up males, and stole belongings of students. In fact, his thugs occupied the campus!
If it's OK go ahead and renamed. Why should he pass on before we honor him? This type of mentality should be discouraged. If the person deserves it why not now, so that he'll at least fell happy about his contributions toward ...

KWASEA!WHAT DO YOU SMOKE?
They can name the Volta Region and even Oman Ghana after this bastard but it won't change anything. He will always be remembered as the nation's second wicked dictator who killed innocent Judges.
Please we should not go there! We should not name a university or for that matter any thing after a living being. Ghana, concentrate on important issues
Naming one of the nation's top universities after a clever thief and murderer? Think again, that would be a sad mistake.

Mr. D. C. Gyimah denied Mr. Rawlings the award in 2005, fine what prevented Mr. Atta Mills from awarding Rawlings for the past 4 years?
Gyimah will be called a traitor by the NPP hawks if he comes forward with the truth. Everyone knows the source of the directive. Leave the poor man alone, he has already suffered enough. Don't destroy his chances, maybe when ...
