The word hate might seem inappropriate! Perhaps, too strong and violent. I know! However, I used it in caution. Personally, I find traitors quite despicable. I truly do! <\/p>\n<p>Hence, my usage of the word, albeit distasteful. I hope that y\u2019all understand! To me, traitors are worthy of one thing. Death! They don\u2019t deserve to be honored by the living! Unless the living are traitors themselves. Most of us remember the late Kotoka as the man who orchestrated the 1966 coup d\u2019\u00e9tat. The coup d\u2019\u00e9tat, which brought Nkrumah\u2019s progressive government to a halt, of course! Kotoka and his band of traitors weren\u2019t alone! America cannot be left un-blamed. She too had a hand in it. In fact, Barack Obama should\u2019ve got down on his knees and apologize to Ghanaians, when he came to visit. America, the-oil-thieving-imperialist, did Ghana wrong. This is the truth of the matter. It remains undisputed!<\/p>\n<p>A country honors its heroes and she-roes by naming its institutions after them. Its heroes and she-roes who contributed significantly to the country. Men and women who deserve to be remembered for their good deeds. Civil contributors whose actions are worth emulating! The late sergeant Kotoka does fall under these aforementioned categories! Please, let\u2019s be clear on this! He was a saboteur! In fact, had it not been for his actions, Ghana wouldn\u2019t have been in this mess. Yes, Ghana had her challenges! We all know it. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not a secret! The economy wasn\u2019t doing too good. But then, cocoa, which was Ghana\u2019s major source of income, wasn\u2019t bringing in the goods. On the world market, the price of cocoa was being manipulated behind closed doors. It was deliberately set on a free fall. This action was set in motion to bankrupt Ghana\u2019s economy! Sure enough, it didn\u2019t fail. It accomplished its mission. Ghana has been struggling ever since! Thanks, of course, to America.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the question is; how well was Kotoka informed? Did he or didn\u2019t he know the powers involved? Well, I am sure that he knew. He knew all along! He must have known! There\u2019s no doubt in my mind about it. He was a CIA agent in an army clothing. He was on their payroll. So, whilst the powers that be were paralysing Ghana\u2019s economy, Kotoka supported them fully. Dear reader, if this doesn\u2019t amount to betrayal, then I don\u2019t know! As a sergeant, Kotoka should\u2019ve remained faithful. <\/p>\n<p>At least, to his country. After all, he pledged his allegiance. Sadly, he didn\u2019t keep the pledge. He sided with our enemies to bring down this country. He was used by America! Today, Ghana is in misery because of Kotoka. Just think about the many coups d\u2019\u00e9tat, which this country went through. And, what good did these various coups d\u2019\u00e9tat do? What prosperity did they bring if any?<\/p>\n<p>No, I don\u2019t believe that Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka deserves anything. He doesn\u2019t deserve to be honored by the living or the dead. By no means was he a hero, nor his action heroic! What he did to Ghana cannot be forgiven, nor is it worth emulating! He betrayed this country and its people! So, why should our international airport bear the name of this traitor? Is he worth it? No, I don\u2019t so! I am sure that all civilized people would agree. A name change should be in order by all means necessary. All true patriots should make this a demand! Kotoka\u2019s name should be stripped aground so that the spirit of Ghana could truly take flight and soar. I believe it\u2019s about time! Unless Ghana is a country&#8211;which honors her traitors. As for America, her day of reckoning is at hand. Her crimes will not go unpunished forever! She will pay for them someday. May we all live to see that day come!<\/p>\n<p>Welcome 2 the New age of consciousness!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/201ed65bget.media_227-150x90.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>View post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/news.peacefmonline.com\/features\/201104\/150175.php\" title=\"America Used Kotoka To Destroy Ghana\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">America Used Kotoka To Destroy Ghana<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Let me start off by saying that I hate traitors.
