Who don't like Kia, Kotoka International Airport as some airlines called the airport.
How can we go for KNlA, Kwami Nkrumah International Airport, Nkrumah can not have his name on everything in Ghana

Kwame Nkrumah even killed more than Kotoka.
Ghanaians are never never truthful.
They are HYPOCRITES. I am more often surprised when people gloss over the atrocities and killing of Kwame Nkrumah.
Every tribe in Ghana celebrated the removal of Nkrumah more than the the recent defeat of Nkrumah.
Who dare criticise Nkrumah, your whereabouts wouldn't be known to your relatives the following day, and that is your end.
Today the are heaping praises on him as an angel.
Nkrumah's " Kansan nyame" was what.
His lions dens, his underground tunnels.
All these and more

It's Accra Internationa Airport (AIA or ACC for IATA), period. I am fine with anything as long as it is not named after Nana Akuffo Addo.

The only former president that is less deserving of the airport being named after him is AKUFOADO. For any other president the name kotoka has to go.

Before you remove Gen Kotoka's name, abolish the so-called Big 6 from Ghana's history. Those 6 fools did nothing meaningful for Ghana. Nkrumah assassinated Dr Raphael Armattoe, the Keta born Noble prize nominee in the 1940s because he suggested that all Eves be contained in one single country, which nkrumah didn't like, thus, he sent his assassins to poison him in Germany, Europe. The other five bald-headed fools became bomb throwers. After Paa Grant, Francis R. A. Awoonor-Williams, another native of Keta, is supposed to be the most important founder-member of ugcc. In all the photographs, he sat on a chair while shortingo Edward akuffo addo stood on his short stubby legs behind with his hands at his back like some frightened apprentice. Awoonor-Williams is nowadays ghosted out of the ugcc leadership simply because he is Eve and some people are intimidated by the mere thought and presence of Eves. Hahahaha. We love it. How many people didn't jubilate over nkrumah's overthrow? Fine, Nkrumah deserves the founder recognition, but removing Gen Kotoka's name from the airport is wrong. At a certain stage in this country's history, he was a hero, but because Ghanaians as usual are very ungrateful and envious, especially the akans, they want his name removed after so many years. I now understand why JJ Rawlings vowed not to have his name on any national edifice, I guess because he knew of the typical Ghana Ian's nature of having short memory and being envious too. Hooooooo, shaaame unto you Ghanaians who are envious. Shame.

Renaming kotoka International Airport must not be our priority, let's focus on fixing the problem by resetting the economy and Ghana. Then the rest will follow subsequently at its own due course or time.

Renaming the Kotoka International Airport will be declaration of war in Ghana.

Ewes must secede and have their own government since other tribes especially Ashantis don't appreciate Ewe hero's who liberated Ghanaians from dictatorship and autocratic role of Kwame Nkrumah.

Lt. Gen. Emmanuel Kotoka was a gallant and brave hero and liberator who must be immortalized, and naming an airport after him is the least gratitude Ghanaians can bestow on him.

If President Mahama makes a big mistake of renaming Kotoka International Airport, then NDC should simply forget about the Volta Region in 2028.

Some Ghanaians have the envious habit of undermining the heroic contributions of Ewes in shaping the country's democracy.

Ghanaians should stop playing with FIRE

Ashantis have suffered in this country oo. A northerner wants to change the name but you are still blaming Ashantis. When the Ashanti majority was in power for 8 solid years did you ever hear of any name change of the airport ? Kumasi Stadium was renamed to Baba Yara didn't hear any Ashanti complaining ?but the Ga's have changed theirs.

Remove the name now. We can get volunteers to do the job today. It won't take any time and contact the International Civil Aviations Organization to inform all airlines.
The pictures on the currency should be changed as there is nothing like the Big Six. If we want to talk about the founder, it is Paa Grant, whose picture is absent.
Some people wanted their relatives relevant in Ghanaian history. What significance does the picture on the currency bear on our history.?

It's about time to remove the name of a traitor from our international airport!! Our Father was overthrown by the West and It's puppets. After he wrote the book on neo colonialism he was targeted by the CIA and even poisoned after he was overthrown! Nkuruma was about African Unity and cutting off Western control. But it is also time to get rid of the traitor, corrupt spirit that hangs over our country! Every African leader in the past that has preached African Unity, self reliance have been overthrown or killed! But it has only been accomplished with the help of African traitors on the ground!!! Dr. Kwame Nkuruma International Airport has a powerful ring to it!!!!

It's not about who's popular or what, it must be about what the person did for Ghana! Nkrumah built, Kotoka demolished. It's long overdue for a name change. Whoever is against this move is unpatriotic. Any challenger?
