Kotoka, Ankrah and Afrifa overthrew President Nkrumah. Because of their actions Ghana has been set 200 years . And we the next generation are suffering because of their actions.
Exactly u are right the overthrow of Dr Nkrumah has set Ghana back 100 years and all was orchestrated by the U.P which later became P.P then again P.F.P which is now NPP they keep changing their political names and they will change more
Don't get it twisted. The coup plotters Gen Ankrah was not officially involved. It was because of his military experience Gen Kotoka,Gen Afrifa, Gen Otto and Police officers in persons of Deku.Harley,Nunuu etc were NLC members. 3rd lieutenant Osei Poku not Osei Owusu.
Oh poor Ghana Kotoka was a redeemer a saviour from a tyrant a one party state introducing PDA Law arresting people without trial reporting Ghanian to foreign land my friend check your facts for Nkrumah was undemocratic and a disaster go and his last address to Parliament
Lots of untruths and inconsistent information in this narrative. The narrator himself doesn’t know and even research properly about the topic he was covering. Poor job
My problem with your narration is that the World War ended in 1945 how come the intention to build the Airport was to transport soldiers during the War?
On the name of the AIRPORT I have been saying all the time that the airport name have to be change to OSAGEFO DR KWAME NKRUMAH if he build the airport then we have to change the name to OUR BELOVED PRESIDENT OSAGEFO DR KWAME NKRUMAH. I hope the next president will change the name to OSAGEFO DR KWAME NKRUMAH. THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK,
Kwame Nkrumah borrowed the "divide and rule" tactics of the British. At time of independence, Ghana was formed from Gold Coast states, Ashanti, Northern territory and Western Togoland. He created a bono kyenpim within Asante, which divided Asante into Ashanti and Bono/Ahafo.
These are the treacherous traitors, who through their selfish ends, did overthrown Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah and set Ghana 1000 years backwards. The name Kotoka on Ghana's main Airport should be changed to "Kwame Nkrumah Airport" asap.
As for Mahama,all his plans are not not not.He is little minded.If you want an airport to be named after Kwame Nkrumah,is it the Kumasi one?He doesn't know the history of Ghana that's why he said that.
Kwame Nkrumah never hated Ashantes or any tribe in Ghana.He created more schools and factories in Ashante region than any other region apart from Tema. His friend was Nana Prempeh and he suggested to Asantehene Nana Prempeh to give him a vast land to build a University of Science and Technology in the interest of the Asanteman and Ghana as a whole which he actually executed. In his native Nzima land he didn’t even do such. He built more Schools in Ashante region Bcos of the level of illiteracy in the Ashante region almost 70% could not read or write or speak English. Thanks to Kwame Nkrumah today Ashantes are one of the most educated people in Ghana when it comes to education but they’re simply ungrateful in all terms no government can please the Ashantes bcos they feel that they’re more superior and supreme than any other tribe in Ghana. U will not understand why Kumasi can’t develop.Challenge them they will lash u with insults bcos they hate to be put right or face the truth.By so saying they’re very hardworking and industrious.God bless Asanteman God bless Ghana
@@mensahkadi1223The Univ. of Science and Technology was not started by Kwame Nkrumah. You don’t know the history of Ghana. It was started by the whites. The initial amount was less than £500,000 during those days. The Univ. of Ghana was started with about £570,000 If you ever read a book with the title ‘A Visual History of Ghana’ you’d know who built the University in Kumasi.
The Up and Africa involved Kotoka who was.a senior to.Aftifa to stage the 1966 coup against President. Nkrumah then later murdered him at the Accra International.Airport. Hence renaming it.Kotoka International Airport.
The guitar boys were doing tribal coup d'etat, they target kotoka and Ankra and ignore afrifa because he was ashanti, look how tribalism take control over you? Shame
I agree. The airport name either needs to be restored to Accra International Airport to pacify the Ga people since that is their land or be named after Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Since, he was the founder of Ghana. I prefer naming it after Nkrumah.
Correctioñ; the first airport in Ghana was not the present kotoka Airport. The first Airport in Ghana was the Komenda Airport, in the Central Region; when Cape Coast was the capital City of Ghana. Did you do any research at all?
Minor mistakes, Afrifa was not a Brigadier but a Major during the coup. Arthur was not a Fante but an Nzemah. The Soldier from Juaben was Lt. Osei Poku not Osei Wusu.
It was a diamond smuggling exercise as a ruse by Lt SB Atthur from the Ho mortar regiment with 120 soldiers Arthur killed capts Borkloe and Avevor and sgt osei Grunshie Yeboah knifed kotoka. Kotota was badly injured in the struggle and asked to be taken to hospital however,kotoka enroute he tried to seize Yeboahs.gun Then he knifed kotoka.
Ankrah deliberated with yeboah by begging in the ensuing melee . Ankrah vanished into.the sea. Dont get twisted Are you tongue twisting with poku and owusu
Bla Ankrah wasnt part of the coup He was selected to Head the country It was Kotoka, chief of police Hallie ,and Afrifa In the end kraa Afrifa after the death of Kotoka,chased Ankrah out n made him resign
There was no evidence that Kotoka’s private part was cut off.The fact of the matter is Kotoka struggled with Lt Moses Yeboah in an attempt to take his gun from him,but Lt Moses Yeboah overpowered him and shot him 10 times.These were the newspaper reports in April 1967.Lt S.B. Arthur was then at the Broadcasting house making the announcement about the coup.Lt Yeboah’s assignment was to arrest Kotoka.Please, check the report.Thank you !
@@richardboateng6235 You sound like those who were not born in 1967.How old are you ? I am stating categorically that Kotoka’s private part was not cut off. My elder brother was one of the soldiers who accompanied Lt Moses Yeboah to arrest Kotoka, and Daily Graphic and Ghanaian Times also confirmed that Kotoka received 10 bullets when he attempted to take the gun from Lt Yeboah,.I hope you are not one of those ignorant and narrow-minded young Ghanaians who don’t want to learn but always making senseless arguments.
My brother there is Evidence that Kotoka was Brutally Murdered by Arthur and Yeboah. I remember that morning I and my friends were going to the Airport to Pick Plastic and Stainless Spoons, Steel Fork, Knives and Spoons from the Rubbish Dumps of the foreign Aeroplanes that come to Ghana. Our route use is from Nima through Kawo Kudi in those days it was called Spoilers Park because it belonged to a Foot Team of the Maamobi Manche's house through to CSR through the Bungalows to International Students Hostel then appear at the Airport Roundabout. So when we got to the Airport Roundabout, we were stopped by a Police Barrier of the Airport Police Baracks. We hanged around until we met some of the Bola Men from Nima working at the Airport They gave us a vivid account of what they saw in a Dustbin behind the Hanger and Mechanical Garage of the Airport. According to them, when they opened the Dustbin to offload the Rubbish, they saw a Dead body brutally Bruised Squeezed into the Bin and alerted the authorities They also comfirmed that his Private Part was cut and stucked into his Mouth. So my brother this is an Eye Witness Account and not what you read in the Daily News Papers because no journalist was prepared to describe such cruelty in their News Papers to attract the Anger of the Military since it was a failed Coup de tat
The gist of the presentation was how the name Kotoka International Airport came into been. Now let's ask ourselves if that name is of relevance today to Ghana and Pan Africanist. Now my State, Virginia in USA has found it befitting to remove all names of military connotations from their schools, highways, edifices and etc,such as Lee Jackson, Garfield etc. They all fought in the Civil War for Independence. What did Kotoka do for Ghana to merit such a national asset. Then name Nima Police Station after General Odartey Wellington; just because he was not from that tribe.
So do you think John Mahama is a kind of person better off to make Ghana a better place? Apuutoo. In fact I question the integrity of those who are supporting Mahama to be president. NDC has made a big mistake of picking John Mahama as a presidential candidate. Every Ghanaian from 20 years going knows that John Mahama has left nothing in his sleeves to offer Ghanaians. If elected to power, he's coming to give the last straw that will break the camel's back to Ghanaians. Kwabena Dufuor would have been a better choice, although he also would not win yet he will have gotten more votes than Mahama will get.
So the voltarians were the first to stage coup in Ghana, since then every coup detat being stage by them, the major airport shd be change NKRUMAH name why coup maker be named after it
Kotoka, Ankrah and Afrifa overthrew President Nkrumah. Because of their actions Ghana has been set 200 years . And we the next generation are suffering because of their actions.
Exactly u are right the overthrow of Dr Nkrumah has set Ghana back 100 years and all was orchestrated by the U.P which later became P.P then again P.F.P which is now NPP they keep changing their political names and they will change more
What about corrupt Rawlings? He sent Ghana back a century.
Only fools can be used
@user-ek6gd5xq9eare you saying Kotoka an ewe was a fool to be used by Ashantis.
Exactly right
Please u are too good May God continue bless you 🌹❤️🌹
I always say Dr. Nkrumah should be named to the Accra airport .
Is not late. Let do it
My late dad kept saying that till he went to be with his Maker
Thanks Very Much
Don't get it twisted. The coup plotters Gen Ankrah was not officially involved. It was because of his military experience Gen Kotoka,Gen Afrifa, Gen Otto and Police officers in persons of Deku.Harley,Nunuu etc were NLC members. 3rd lieutenant Osei Poku not Osei Owusu.
Your account of Mahama not wanting the Kumasi airport to be named after Nkrumah is inaccurate.
It is accurate paaa@@felixgrantakanyi4547
Ghanaian 🇬🇭 problems is bigger than them
Everyone wants to talk but does not want to learn right.
Mr Historian, he was not called Osei Wusu. He was called Osei Poku.
History of dark days in Modern #Ghana
Oh poor Ghana Kotoka was a redeemer a saviour from a tyrant a one party state introducing PDA Law arresting people without trial reporting Ghanian to foreign land my friend check your facts for Nkrumah was undemocratic and a disaster go and his last address to Parliament
To be corrected Osei Poku was released from prison before the arrival of Rawlings. Osei Poku was released by General I K Acheampong.
KOTOKA HAS DONE GHANA VERY HARM .
In his case the law of karma was swift.
Asante is the downfall of Ghana as long as they don’t change there no future for Ghana

Hmmmmmm oh my God.
My problem with your narration is that the World War ended in 1945 how come the intention to build the Airport was to transport soldiers during the War?
I understand it was
Please check, it was Kutu A heapong who gave Osei Poku amnesty.
Rawlings sorted others out in return
Wawww God bless u Mr. Narrator but kotoka does not deserve any respect and so the name should be changed
Guitar Boy was the Operation code for the coup and not for any of the officers involved.
On the name of the AIRPORT I have been saying all the time that the airport name have to be change to OSAGEFO DR KWAME NKRUMAH if he build the airport then we have to change the name to OUR BELOVED PRESIDENT OSAGEFO DR KWAME NKRUMAH.
I hope the next president will change the name to OSAGEFO DR KWAME NKRUMAH.
THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK,
I second the motion. Pls they have to change it

Correction: the government was NATIONAL LIBRATION COUNCIL
WWII ended on September 2, 1945 so most definitely KIA was not constructed in 1946 as a military airfield to support WWII.
In fact,
2nd Lt Osei Poku
Hi my dear, If it is so,Then it is not too late to change the names, to DOKTER'S NKROMA ,Thank you very much Greetings,
True history that's exactly what happened
Why changing too much names
As for Mahama,all his plans are not not not.He is little minded.If you want an airport to be named after Kwame Nkrumah,is it the Kumasi one?He doesn't know the history of Ghana that's why he said that.
The guitar boys were doing tribal coup d'etat, they target kotoka and Ankra and ignore afrifa because he was ashanti
Kwame Nkrumah hated the Ashanti people Is Dr Bamumia out his mind He should take that back I have so much respect for him

The name of Halle is consistently missing in your presentation. I know the focus of your presentation is about the name of the airport.
the ww2 ended in 1945 why are you talking about 1946
The Ankrahs are not from Osu. General Ankrah is from Ga Mashie Otublohum Division

You are factually wrong! Nkrumah did not go to Hanoi to attend a non-aligned conference, but rather to bring an end to the Vietnam war.
Very true

Give credit to Hamburg ahenfie b4 and add up what he missed

My friend affrifa was a brigadier that time from 2www
