Dr Kwame Nkrumah also did so much for the north as well interms of education:
Ghana College, Tamale, Government secondary school, Tamale, Bawku, Yendi, Lawra, Wa, Nalerigu Damongo secondary schools etc.. You are right Kwame Nkrumah was a visionary leader. He did all this in less than 9years.
What a big loss he has been to the nation!!! His compulsory policy of education for all children gave some of us especially from the north the opportunity to go to school. Otherwise my father had no clue about education and didn’t see the need for his children to go to school.
May GOD ALMIGHTY give him wisdom , anchor and victory to be able to do this again with sustained efforts.
Don't forget Acherensua Secondary School (Achisco) which was the only secondary school in Ahafo until 1970 when Busia converted Hwidiem and Mim Training Colleges to secondary schools. And other schools like Yaa Asantewah Secondary School, Konongo Odumasi Secondary School, and many more. You can easily identify the schools by the similar buildings, which were constructed under the Education Trust Fund. Nkrumah was selfless, and a visioneer. Up to the present, nobody has come out to accuse him of corruption or kalabule. He left no mansion or assets. Akuffo Addo family and the Akyem traitors are thieves, and with fake British vocal accents.
How can foreign agents who helped overthrow the greatest African leader of our time ever be the source of inspiration? Yet today, some of them are celebrated, their names carved into our national story as though they were patriots.
Let us speak plainly: one of these so-called heroes destroyed the foundations of our industries, handing assets to his wife and cronies. Another, J. B. Danquah, betrayed the very cause of independence and sided with those who sought to keep Ghana shackled. And Emmanuel Kotoka, whose coup cut short our march toward true self-determination, is still paraded as though he were a liberator. These are not heroes. They are traitors.
The tragedy is not only in what they did, but in how their legacies have been dressed up for the next generation. If the adults fool themselves, the children are watching — and they will see through the lies. You cannot build a nation on falsehood.
This is why today, the NPP is reaping the fruits of the seeds it sowed. By glorifying betrayal, by distorting history, by venerating those who sold Ghana’s future to foreign hands, they have set themselves on a path where truth and justice catch up.
History has only one verdict: those who sell their people for personal gain are never remembered as heroes, no matter how many statues are built in their name.
Please, with RESPECT, I beg to differ. The White man and woman CAME TO AFRICA TO SCAM US, TO DEPLETE OUR RESOURCES-MINERALS-HENCE GOLD COAST and THE SLAVE TRADE.
The Whites or England left Ghana with NO EDUCATION FOR OUR MASSES AND MASSES OF OUR PEOPLE. DR Kwame Nkrumah had NO CHOICE but to start building schools and universities, teacher training colleges etc etc to help increase the level of education of our people to form the human resource base for both national economic and social development.
Dr Kwame Nkrumah also started building factories and Akosombo Dam for our self sufficiency and development-energy needs sustainability.
To err is human but Dr Kwame Nkrumah saw that we BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO HELP EACH OTHER. As you can see from USA-TRUMP POLICY-AMERICA FIRST. TRUMP has even abandoned NATO-Europe to PAY for themselves. TRUMP has STOPPED USAID etc etc. Africa was in a unique situation. Dr Kwame Nkrumah helped Sekou Toure of Guinea when Guinea refused to kowtow to France imperialist demands. AFRICA MUST UNITE-BOB MARLEY. Dr Nkrumah helped Zimbabwe-Mugabe etc to come and educate themselves in Ghana. But now-Ghana people are also in Zambia, Botswana, South Africa, Egypt, Morrocco, Algeria etc etc. You see-Africa is our DESTINY and HOMELAND. President Kuffour when he came to power- WENT TO NIGERIA TO BEG, President Obasanjo of Nigeria gave Ghana 500 peugeot cars for the Ghana police use-free of charge, President Obasanjo gave Ghana FREE CRUDE OIL-now you see the irony of what Dr Kwame Nkrumah did for Guinea-Nigeria also did it to Ghana in our hour of NEED. NOBODY IS PERFECT.
I do not want to go on and on. STUPID Dr K A Busia BOOTED OUT NIGERIANS FROM Ghana in 1971 SHORTSIGHTEDLY- Nigeria also booted out 3 million Ghanaians in 1981-IS IT NOT REVENGE? LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF- BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW TOMORROW- NIGERIA IS RICH NOW.

Dr Kwame Nkrumah also did so much for the north as well interms of education:
Ghana College, Tamale, Government secondary school, Tamale, Bawku, Yendi, Lawra, Wa, Nalerigu Damongo secondary schools etc.. You are right Kwame Nkrumah was a visionary leader. He did all this in less than 9years.
What a big loss he has been to the nation!!! His compulsory policy of education for all children gave some of us especially from the north the opportunity to go to school. Otherwise my father had no clue about education and didn’t see the need for his children to go to school.
May GOD ALMIGHTY give him wisdom , anchor and victory to be able to do this again with sustained efforts.
Don't forget Acherensua Secondary School (Achisco) which was the only secondary school in Ahafo until 1970 when Busia converted Hwidiem and Mim Training Colleges to secondary schools. And other schools like Yaa Asantewah Secondary School, Konongo Odumasi Secondary School, and many more. You can easily identify the schools by the similar buildings, which were constructed under the Education Trust Fund. Nkrumah was selfless, and a visioneer. Up to the present, nobody has come out to accuse him of corruption or kalabule. He left no mansion or assets. Akuffo Addo family and the Akyem traitors are thieves, and with fake British vocal accents.
How can foreign agents who helped overthrow the greatest African leader of our time ever be the source of inspiration? Yet today, some of them are celebrated, their names carved into our national story as though they were patriots.
Let us speak plainly: one of these so-called heroes destroyed the foundations of our industries, handing assets to his wife and cronies. Another, J. B. Danquah, betrayed the very cause of independence and sided with those who sought to keep Ghana shackled. And Emmanuel Kotoka, whose coup cut short our march toward true self-determination, is still paraded as though he were a liberator. These are not heroes. They are traitors.
The tragedy is not only in what they did, but in how their legacies have been dressed up for the next generation. If the adults fool themselves, the children are watching — and they will see through the lies. You cannot build a nation on falsehood.
This is why today, the NPP is reaping the fruits of the seeds it sowed. By glorifying betrayal, by distorting history, by venerating those who sold Ghana’s future to foreign hands, they have set themselves on a path where truth and justice catch up.
History has only one verdict: those who sell their people for personal gain are never remembered as heroes, no matter how many statues are built in their name.

@Nanaba,Turkey as a country existed long before Kemal Ataturk was born. Yet because of all the good things he did as their leader, so many things in that country are named after him. He stattues are everywhere. Simon Bolivar, did not give birth to the people in Venezuela or Bolivia, yet he is chosen as the Sole Founder of both countries.And, so many things are named after him. Neither Jesus nor Mohammed build any school, hospital, Clinic, Airport, Dam, Roads etc anywhere in the world , yet millions of people accross the globe worship them.Some will even kill you for insulting Mohammed who did nothing for them and died over 1300 years ago. Can you name a single good thing that any of our previous or modern useless chiefs did that improved our lives apart from slave raiding and trading and engaging in excessive human sacrifice to please their river gods? I was born in hospital built by Nkrumah, went to schools built by him, drank purified water from a dam built by him, lived in an estate built by him etc etc. What more do I need to honour such a selfless, dedicated, compassionate man?

I hope you were not too young to remember General Acheampong’ s ill fated attempt to introduce one party rule under the guise of UNIGOV. Former CPP members rise up and teamed up with former UP member to oppose him.
Don’t be seduced by propaganda if so-called Nkrumahists. . Nkrumah terrorized the CPP members with PDA so much that , they were the first to rejoice at his overthrow . Most of the prominent people detained were CPP . Remember Ako Adjei, Tania Adamafio, Kofi Crabbe and many more. Let the name be. It is part of our history

@ Kwame, there is a big difference between these words...historical and ahistorical.
The first bomb that the useless no hopers like Danquah, Busia , Obesibi Lamptey packaged for Nkrumah was at his home in Accra Newtown in 1955. In 1956, terrorist Baffour Akoto and his useless King Troopers bombed and maimed innocent people at Kumasi. Sir Lennox -Boyd, the governor whose car was heavily pelted was there to witness the madness himself and he duly wrote every thing down. The problem with you lot is that, history can only be narrated to suit your line of thinking. No, it does not work like that. It is what happened. Have bothered to check how Kojo Botsio's pregnant was killed in her kitchen by Baffour Akoto's bunch of terrorist and the year that it happened before churning out your pryramid of cow dung?

The White man and woman CAME TO AFRICA TO SCAM US, TO STEAL, TO DEPLETE OUR RESOURCES-MINERALS-HENCE GOLD COAST and THE SLAVE TRADE.
The Whites or England left Ghana with NO EDUCATION FOR OUR MASSES AND MASSES OF OUR PEOPLE. DR Kwame Nkrumah had NO CHOICE but to start building schools and universities, teacher training colleges etc etc to help increase the level of education of our people to form the human resource base for both national economic and social development.
Dr Kwame Nkrumah also started building factories and Akosombo Dam for our self sufficiency and development-energy needs sustainability.
To err is human but Dr Kwame Nkrumah saw that we BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO HELP EACH OTHER. As you can see from USA-TRUMP POLICY-AMERICA FIRST. TRUMP has even abandoned NATO-Europe to PAY for themselves. TRUMP has STOPPED USAID etc etc. Africa was in a unique situation. Dr Kwame Nkrumah helped Sekou Toure of Guinea when Guinea refused to kowtow to France imperialist demands. AFRICA MUST UNITE-BOB MARLEY. Dr Nkrumah helped Zimbabwe-Mugabe etc to come and educate themselves in Ghana. But now-Ghana people are also in Zambia, Botswana, South Africa, Egypt, Morrocco, Algeria etc etc. You see-Africa is our DESTINY and HOMELAND. President Kuffour when he came to power- WENT TO NIGERIA TO BEG, President Obasanjo of Nigeria gave Ghana 500 peugeot cars for the Ghana police use-free of charge, President Obasanjo gave Ghana FREE CRUDE OIL-now you see the irony of what Dr Kwame Nkrumah did for Guinea-Nigeria also did it to Ghana in our hour of NEED. NOBODY IS PERFECT.
I do not want to go on and on. STUPID Dr K A Busia BOOTED OUT NIGERIANS FROM Ghana in 1971 SHORTSIGHTEDLY- Nigeria also booted out 3 million Ghanaians in 1981-IS IT NOT REVENGE? LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF- BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW TOMORROW- NIGERIA IS RICH NOW.

But where are we now? Ghana is a FAILED STATE. That was why in 2024 Ghana went to the IMF and the World Bank Cup in hand to beg for a bailout. What did we receive in return for betraying our country. I ask you will the white man and woman accept you black monkey money to betray their country? The ANSWER IS OBVIOUS-NO. We BLACKS people are unpatriotic and very selfish. The WHITEMAN see us as the followers of their STUPID culture. Look at China and India, they stick to their culture and language in their schools and education system and they have made it. African children are dying in their thousands in the Mediterranean sea. Bye bye you BLACK PEOPLE ARE THEIR OWN DOWNFALL-BLACKS HATE EACH OTHER. The white man or woman will NEVER betray thair COUNTRIES to you the BLACK MONEY. But we took their money and AFRICAN CHILDREN ARE DYING IN THEIT THOUSANDS IN THE MEDITERRENEAN SEA TO REACH EUROPE-ITALY AND SPAIN

Let the truth be told. Nkrumah was never a saint and his evil ambition to remain perpetually in power brought his doom. Admittedly he established a lot of infrastructure and institutions, what do you expect after he had inherited £200m (£20B today) from the British. Infact, he took Ghana on the wrong trajectory by introducing socialism instead of capitalistic welfare state, by now we would have advanced just like South Korea and others whom we were at par with at the time of independence

Well the Nkrumaists want us to believe Nkrumah was the founder of Ghana but this is ridiculous. He was not even a member of the leaders who first called for independence. He came in at a later date so really it is only dishonest people who would suggest that he is the founder.
Regarding changing Kotoka International Airport to its former name, it is neither here nor there. As much as Nkrumah is revered so also are other former leaders. But for Kotoka and co, who knows, there would be no room for dissenting voices today. Kotoka has played his part in Ghana's history and he would be revered by a large percentage of the population though the Nkrumaist would forever hate him. If Nkrumah deserves to have edifices named after him so also does Kotoka. Kotoka Airport has come to stay and it will forever remind us that we as a people will not tolerate anyone who abhors, persecutes and jails his political opponents for their dissenting views.

NDC should never make the mistake of changing the name of the airport. Rather it should channel it's resources and energy into effectively resolving the galamsey menace, which carries more weight than renaming of the airport.

Who went round visiting him in the prison and campaigning and convincing people to vote for him? Who was Nkrumah's political strategist? Without that person, Nkrumah would not have been the African icon. The man who was behind all these never demonstrated any ethnocentrism as you pursue ob this platform. Celebrate Gbedema!

It's hypocritical and shameful to hear both President Akufo-Addo and President Mahama strongly condemn coups, yet Ghana's main international airport is named in honour of a coup-maker Kotoka. Akufo-Addo was busy renaming institutions when he became President, yet saw no need to rename that airport. One can understand why Akufo-Addo refused to rename the airport, the reason being that his Busia/Danquah Tradition was instrumental in bringing about that coup after they failed numerous times to kill Nkrumah by throwing bombs at him. President Mahama needs to do the right thing and rename that airport if he truly is against coups and doesn't support the glorification of a coup-maker by having the nation's main airport named after Kotoka.
