@Jido, you are just another idiot without a brain. The British pleaded for years and years with our slave raiding and trading Asante Kings from the 1830s to allow them to bring a bit of modernity and development into Asante, they will have none of it. In fact, human sacrificing enthusiast Prempeh and his Jezebel mother mother Yaa Akyaa will have none of it until Baden Powell stormed Kumasi in 1896 and gave useless River worshipping idiot called Prempeh his comeuppance. Within seven years of getting rid of the useless tyrant, they built a railway line from the Gold Coast ( which our primitive Asante ancestors were never part of,) to Kumasi. Now, Nkrumah, was born in 1909, on a fool of epic proportion will come out with a senseless comment such as your. Now, Nkrumah, did built "Gee", KNUST, Kwadaso Agric School, Barekese Water Dam that supplies us with clean drinking water. Even, that some of our own idiotic twats such as Kwaku Dua and his useless nephew Opoku Useless Prempeh do not want to give him creditt. Come back for a bit of outright fact induced dribbling about the legend called Kwame Nkrumah. We do not need inbreds of your type to denigrate a legend like him.

Nsiah the fool! Learn history before you tell history, you don't tell history like what you wish could be done. The first railways line started In Takoradi 1901 and reached Kumasi 1903 beefore getting to Accra in 1923. So who pleaded with who for many years to bring railways to Kumasi? You are just a senseless castrated pig.

A first train running on such old tracks? How?

About seventy years ago, my parents used to take me on their travels along the Accra to Kumasi track. The railways was then under the control of the British, and even at that young age, I saw that the tracks had been laid on a thick bed of stones! Just for verification, please take a look at a picture of the Accra to Mpakadan rail track and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

So, these cannot be tracks that are expecting a first train, and I don't understand why it is being touted as such.

In the year 1903, we had trains running in Ghana.
This is a sign that our previous leaders did all they can.
For the present leaders to come and mess everything up.
God would Judge them and the unborn generations.

So we have now see that is not kwame Nkrumah who built the rail lines..... It's all a hipe. The lazy Media always attributes every old infrastructure to kwame Nkrumah including the elementary school secondary school and the Air Port he landed from America. It's time for the truth.

Dr kwame Nkrumah never came by flight from America but by ship from the UK to Ghana on Grant invitation. Let count ourselves for Nkrumah leading us for independence no comment. Akyemism very dangerous pills.
