I Was Named After A REBEL LEADER - ASEIDU NKETIA Almost every name has a meaning attached to it and parents would christen their wards with a particular name , based on the positive attributes attached to it . Naming your son after a heartless rebel leader would sound weird to many but John Asiedu Nketia reveals he was named after one . His moniker ‘ General Mosquito ’ originates from a Sierra Leone rebel leader Bockarie . Samuel Sam Bockarie , was infamous during the Sierra Leone Civil War for his brutal tactics , which included amputation , mutilation , and rape . He earned the nickname "Mosquito" for his ability to attack when his enemies were off- guard . According to Johnson Asiedu Nketia , the name ‘ General Mosquito ’ was bestowed on him by members of the New Patriotic Party after he single handedly prevented ex - President Kufour from appointing a particular minister with a terrible track record into his cabinet. In an interview with Okay FM, the current General Secretary for the NDC revealed that the name ‘ General Mosquito ’ was meant to ridicule him by NPP members but turned out to make him more popular after he accepted it in good faith . Will you accept a bad name in good faith ?
