And u call that an "Airport"? Some celebrities car garages,, are far better thanthis weired structure you call an airport.

We are talking about an air-strip in the second capital of Ghana. This enclave, can not even be compared to airports in some cities in Africa, and we proud self with this disgusting building as a so-called airport.

If Ashantihene and the government of Ghana think that air-strip befits any region as an airport, then am sorry to say that, they are not only day-dreaming but sick in their tympanic membrane.

The irony of it is that, this was the air-strip the President (Mahama) and Ashantihene were dancing dismayingly to the "Yen tie obiaa" tune on the internet recently. Both should and must be ashamed of self!

at this present age, Kumasi can not even boast of a single Shopping Mall? And I recently heard that the chief executive of the KMA wanted the African Cup of Nations to be hosted in Kumasi? When I heard this, I could not stop laughing.

my friend, that should be the last thing on your mind when it comes to inviting such a huge body and people to Kumasi. All I am trying to say is, till there is a renewal of our thinking of vto infrastructural development

All I am trying to say is, till there is a renewal of our thinking to infrastructural development and a turn-around of our economy, we as a people and a nation, should speak very little about such appalling structures.

U guys call the Kumasi airstrip an airport? The so-called airstrip is an eye-saw even by African standard let alone, by European or American standards. Any time I land from the United States via any of these local airline operators to Kumasi, my merry site of the Kumasi airstrip disgusts me as a son of Kumasi.

Sometimes, I wander the actual role of the King, because, the second capital of The country Ghana, is not any thing to write home when it comes to infrastructure and development. The irony was, The last time I checked, the mayor of Kumasi was contemplating of possibly hosting the African cup in kumasi. Are u kidding me?

Kumasi can not even boast a single Shopping Mall and u are preaching of hosting an African cup competition covering the whole of Africa? Where is the Sunshine or the lid-singing Garden City Mall? With all these gold deposits and brains, we as a people can not boast of a single Shopping Mall in Kumasi?

We as a people and a tribe, should and must be ashamed of self. For Kumasi and equally other needy regional capitals, do not only need face-lifts, but real infrastructural and economic development.

Shame on you, Konadu Rawlings, for always complaining about and criticizing the current government and situations in Ghana. For more than eighteen years you and your husband ruled Ghana with iron fists. If within those long years you couldn't solve the problems of the country, what justification do you have to condemn your successors who have been trying hard to address the problems your regime neglected or failed to solve.

Shame on you, Konadu Rawlings. Ghanains are not fools as you think. You and your husband's government coulndn't make Ghana a paradise in over eighteen years of draconian rule, why do you think the present government can do it in just six years?

You should rather burry your head in shame for consistently tauting and criticizing the present governmet as if your husband's long regime was flawless. After all, Ghana wasn't a paradize during you and your husband's eighteen plus years regime. The problems of today, are carry overs from your husbands regime so, better shut up and let those dedicating their services to improve the situation do their jobs in peace.

Stop tormenting the leaders of today. They are even doing a far better job than you and your husband did in over eighteen plus years of autocratic rule.

Your hypocritical allegations won't win you any smpathies from well meaning Ghanaians. By the way, be reminded that your time has long passed and you can't get the chance to rule Ghana any longer. Ghana is not a monarchy, an autocracy, or an oligarchy. It is a democratic country with peace loving and democratic minded citizens. You and your family do not have a monopoly of wisdom nor the ability to rule Ghana. The country is blessed with immense human political capital and can perform perfectly well if people like you stop the witch hunting, hypocritical and "holier-than-thou" accusations, threats,innuendos, and subterfuges.

Mrs Rawlings, kindly redirect your attetion and energies somewhere else. It would serve you better.

Madness starts by laughing at the wrong time and ar the wring things. This corrupt wonan wanted to be president because shes been close to a former president, a former president who could not even be the cleaner of a mayor's iffice in a European village. Yet he wss a president of Ghana. Nana Konadu herself cannot be the pantry girl of any high office in a European village yet she sees herself as presidential material in Ghana. In fact, she thinks Ghana is Nana Konadu and Nana Konadu is Ghana. Tweaa, see "which" want to be president of Ghana, see "what" wants to rule Ghana, apuuuuuu.

Don't be surprise Konadu because that is the legacy you and your husband left for that ruling party-quantity and not quality. I'm also happy that you are visiting the Monarch too because it will create an opportunity for you to discuss it with the King. Are you surprise? Where is Otumfour's educational foundation going? Don't be surprised since birds with the same feathers fly together. Did you see the $ 29 million job done by your party members? I'm glad you pointed out that you saw no difference between the then airport and now. The king is even proud about it. Point it to him and prove to him that the party members have shared the greater part of the money. Surprise? Do you remember the Malasian telephone company you and your husband brought to Ghana to help solve our communication problem? Now that you are not in Government and they will also not listen to you, you are pointing out some government mistakes. It is too late Nana, so shut your mouth because "Yentie Obiaa".
