--- A SPECIAL TRIBUTE, (By) "Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng (Kwame Mayor)

"Friends, Ghanaians and Countrymen in my Motherland of Africa" :

"I have come to mourn Madam Fathia Nkrumah and not to Praise her !!!".

--- Although I was not at Julius Ceasar's funeral in Shakespearean Literature and neither did I listen to the oratory of Mark Anthony, I hereby offer my apology to such an immitation, as I mourn the wife of Ghana's First President; Independence Hero and a great Statesman, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

MY MESSAGE :

Tell it to the Nation's Children and generations yet unborn; spread the word in your Churches, Mosques, Temples and Synagogues and remind the old even as their memories gradually fade away, to endeavour to tell tales of their glorious past when Morality, Ethics, Family Values, Patriotism, Hardwork and "Virgin Love" blossomed our Motherland, and let the whole World know that such were the times when Madam Fathia Nkrumah travelled from Egypt to Ghana to live with her husband Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, and that she (Fathia) was the epitome of an "Ideal First Lady !!!" --- Well Mannered, Cultured, Ethical and above all, a "Kind-Hearted Soul" blessed by the Creator with "Cleopatra's Beauty"; "Queen Sheba's Glory and Fame", as well as an "Amazing Spirit" !!!.

May She Rest In Perfect Peace !!!

Damirifa Due !!!

The News Section !!! - A Tribute to Madam Fathia Nkrumah

There is no history to provide evidence that the Leader of Ghanaians Abroad Coalition and 2008 Presidential aspirant, "Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng, (Kwame Mayor) attended the funeral of Mark Anthony, - (In Shakespearan's "Juliet Ceasar") as the legendary Writer of all times, William Shakespeare himself would testify from his grave !!!. Yet, in a Special Tribute to Ghana's First Lady Madam Fathia Nkrumah, wife of Political Legend and Ghana's First President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the Self-Proclaimed "Intellectual Re-incarnation of Dr. Nkrumah" spoke like "Mark Anthony at Julius Ceasar's Funeral" : --

" I have come to mourn Madam Fathia Nkrumah and not to Praise her !!!", the 2004 CPP Parliamentary Candidate for Nhyiaeso Constituency, once known in his "Great Koss Days" as ("J.P.K - the Political Advisor) said, proceeding to describing Madam Fathia Nkrumah as the "Epitome of an Ideal Woman" - (Well Mannered, Cultured, a Moralist, and Kind-Hearted Soul who was not only blessed by God Almighty with Extraordinary Beauty, but Seeds of Knowlege, coupled with an "Amazing Grace" !!!).

Always a Politician, the Presidential aspirant faulted former President Jerry John Rawlings and His Excellency, President John Agyekum Kuffuor for not doing enough to help the former First Lady financially when she was alive and although the "People's Mayor" praised President Kuffuor for his genuine wish for the former First Lady to recover when she was sick, the Politician said it cannot be ruled out that the "Calculating President wanted to Score Political Points too !!!" , especially when he first visited Madam Fathia Nkrumah.

The popular "Mayor" said President Kuffuor deserves an award for being the "Most Calculating President Ghana has ever had", noting that "Here is a ["Gentle Giant"] who has tried hard to exploit Nkrumahists" and whose government has engaged in covert and overt operations to marginalize the Convention People's Party (CPP)"

Turning to former President Jerry John Rawlings, the "People's Mayor" speculated that the once "Military Strongman" did not and could not visit Madam Fathia Nkrumah because he (Rawlings) "Caused Political Havoc !!!" to the Nkrumahists Tradition !!!", with his illegal overthrow of Dr. Limann's Nkrumahist government.

"Osagyefo", dubbed "Kwame Nkrumah # 2" also blamed the "[Real] Architects of the 1966 Coup" that overthrew Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah for the "Chapter of the Beginning Pains and Sufferings of Madam Fathia Nkrumah".

Asked to explain who the [Real] Architects of the 1966 Coup were, the Politician explained that there is a difference between those who received the "Judas Money" to overthrow Dr. Nkrumah and a Soldier(s) who was obeying his Superiors Orders to participate in the Coup.

" I think there were a [few] Ghanaian Civilian Men who actually received the "Judas Money" in preparation of the 1966 Coup and recruited Soldiers in certain positions to execute the plan and that some of the Junior Soldiers of the Coup were naive and that the "Real Culprits are those who received the "Judas Money" !!!, said the Politician who was a mere Child when the Military Coup against Dr. Nkrumah was staged - too young to have met Nkrumah, yet wants to write an "Intellectual Book" about the 1966 Coup in addition to his current Book Projects on "America's Mandela"; "The Wansam"; " Black & White Nuclear Balance of Power" : - "Kwame Mayor's Theory of "Peaceful Political Equilibrium !!!", etc.

The former Ghanaian-American Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate, who is currently "recuperating from his inability to get the nod from the White House to become President of the World Bank" - (a position he competed for by submitting his resume to the office of President George Bush, displaying his higher educational qualifications; broad-based knowledge, extraordinary talents; functional and technical skills; pleasant qualities and amazing charisma), said it would be prudent if Madam Fathia Nkrumah could be intered at the Kwame Nkrumah's Mausoleum", where she can once again join her husband.

"Even if she is buried in Cairo, I will seek consent from her family whenever I become President of Ghana, to exhume the body of Ghana's Most Beloved First Lady, Madam Fathia Nkrumah and rebury her remains in Ghana - in the same way Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's remains were exhumed from Conakry, Guinea and reburied in Ghana !!!", said the Politician who has continued in Dr. Nkrumah's "Strategic Tradition" and has not made secret his desire to lead Ghana, Africa in general and the entire "Black Race" to build Nuclear Bombs, as a means to achieve "Nuclear Parity" and "Strategic Racial Balance of Power" which, according to his "Nuclear Political Theory", would produce a "Peaceful Political Equilibrium !!!" with "Our White Brothers and Sisters who already possess Nuclear Bombs !!!".

The "Mayor" called for a "Larger than Life" Statute of Madam Fathia Nkrumah to be erected beside Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah at the Kwame Nkrumah's Mausoleum, explaining that People around the World would throng to see such a "Memorable Site".

The Marverick Politician is also calling for a "Fathia Nkrumah's Foundation" or Scholarship to benefit Ghanaian Women in Politics and an institution such as a school in honor of the First Lady who was "Betrayed by Reactionaries - namely the [Real] Planners or Architects of the 1966 Coup; Neglected by "Fortune Seeking Political and Military Leaders and her husband's Political tradition - "Endangered by Latter-Day Coup Mathematicians !!!".
