The NPP Danquah Busia tradition are the reason Ghana has failed. After 1966 coup Ghana has never been the same all because of NPP and its forefathers who thought Ghana belongs to them. They lacked foresight, and most of them were opportunist. Today they say they have forgiven Kwame Nkrumah lol....what about the several attempts to kill Kwame Nkrumah by JB Danquah...they must tell Ghanaians how JB Danquah wanted to be President of Ghana so bad that he orchestrated the killing golf Nkrumah.

Simplistic. Every country that gained independence did the same but failed long before the Chhinese and Indians stared mass producing and export to flood our markets

Who do you blame?
All these factories were in operation till Rawlings came and collapsed all of them by implementing divestiture to sell of them.
When i left my village to Accra, Tema to be precise
i met Akasanoma, Sanyo, Eveready Battery, and many more but all them clossed down during Rawlings time. So should anyone blame the NPP for Ghana's unemployment crisis.

Kwame Nkrumah deceived Ghanaians by pretending to know something he actually did not. He was skilled at delivering humorous speeches, but he lacked the ability to effectively govern a newly independent and resource-rich Ghana. While he had a vision, he lacked practicality and was misguided

A disgruntled descendant of the bomb throwing losers still making useless effort to tarnish the image of a legend. Just look at the hopelessness of your Idols, from worse than useless Busia to Akufo Addo.

You just used the right word at the end of your statement (MISGUIDED) JUST LIKE WE LEAVE ON TREES they say WE ARE GOOD FOR NOTHING and more and more. Look deep inside you and tell as what you have done to help Ghana.

I completely agree with your sentiment. It's disheartening to see how corruption has taken over in the political sphere. We need leaders who are truly dedicated to serving the people and making a positive impact on society. It's important to acknowledge those who have made a positive difference in the past, like Nkrumah, but we also need to hold our current politicians accountable for their actions and demand transparency and honesty from them.

This article has been reproduced on Ghanaweb, obviously, for propaganda mischief. There were no TV in Ghana till the later part of 1965. So who was producing TV is Ghana then. Zoom and read into detail, the Graphic Newspaper attached to this article, All the major industries were on going before Nkrumah became Ghana's leader. The question one must ask is this the kind of journalism and graduates Ghana is producing?

Nkrumah and his team were visionary nation-builders while ananse Akufo-Addo and his Julor House wrecking crew are vision-less nation-wreckers.
