This man was the only Ghanaian to make us self sufficient in food production. Just like Nkrumah did not amass great wealth. Yet the one who gave us rawlings chain and took state property and gave it to his wife for free or cheap is touted as Mr Clean. Acheampong they say likes to fxck woman and everyone was outraged but the one who fxcked boys no one noticed. If we carry on this stupid way, we shall struggle. Don't forget we all hate lgbt. Rawlings is lgbt. He fxcks boys

Kwasia buulu tokebelleh..!!!!!!! At this grand old age of yours, you still need help that would enable you to strike proper thinking! Olooshie... if you were not that stupid, you'll notice how your lifelong idol & wee smoking partner - Nana Akuffo Addo - who hails from the Kyebi Forest has infested Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana with loads of filthy, stinky, smelly animals identifying as LGBTQ+ practitioners. Your stupid brain is not prompting you to ask yourself why a "cathedral builder" and octogenarian like Akuffo Addo should be the one saying foolishly that "homosexuality is bound to happen", and why he's been bribing and coercing people in academia to join in his Satanic and diabolic homosexual agenda. BLEDDY FOOL..!!!!!!!

The "end result", as you put it, wasn't caused by Operation Feed Yourself. It was mainly caused by the OPEC oil crisis which saw prices inflated massively, across the world. Even the UK had to take drastic measures by implementing a 4 day working week, to conserve energy and fuel. I don't think you have enough brain cells to comment intelligently. Go back to class 1, start again, and make more effort this time.

It was the OPEC Oil crisis which derailed what would have been a very successful programme of Operation Feed Your Self. We had not discovered oil then. Still a very good initiative.

Barnasko played significant role. It was teamwork and the original idea came from Acheampong. He got the idea while he was on a military course in Fort Levenworth, Kansas , USA. It is documented in the Book by Baffour Agyeman Duah- Life and Times of General Acheampong, Ghana's Head of State.

Kwame Nkrumah and Acheampong are the best head of state Ghana has ever had. Under Acheampong government all the factories and institutions that Nkrumah established were all working. But as soon as Rawlings came everything collapsed. But people are portraying him as a hero. Most of the problem Ghana is going through is from Rawlings and his Ndc. For they have been in power more than any other party.

Acheampong's operation feed yourself period was far better than this NPP regime. The Supreme Military Council government made sure Ghanaians had food at low cost to purchase. They didn't make Ghana indebted to foreign loans like we have today in Nana's government. Look at the economic hardship in the country too! Oh NPP, what a failure!

His coup was the most useless in Ghana history. A power drunk soldier who rose to overthrow the very leader who put so much trust in him.

Much as I detested Acheampongs's regime, I think giving useless Busia a taste of his own evil coup machinations was the best. And, am glad hopeless Busia also paid a price. The useless western poodle could not convince his Western backers for a mere 5 million pounds loan for his rural dev project. A fact which is made available by the British Prime Minister who refused to give him that loam(Ted Heath). This is not hear say. He documented it. That was in 1971.. Ten months later, Acheampong got rid of that useless, hopeless, terrorist mater mind called Kofi Abrefa Busia.
