  Socialism and dictatorship destroyed Nkrumah. He studied in USA and UK, yet his heart was full of Socialism and Dictatorship as against thriving Democracy and Capitalism. Oh poor NKRUMAH! Hisweird beliefs and egos destroyed him. He would have still won power if he allowed democracy to continue. And Ghana would have no experience of evils of coup d'etat. Hmmmm

  I agree with the idea that we should fight to protect our democracy however, when the CIA undermined Nkrumah through J. B. Dankwa and the opposition (check CIA’s own report on Nkrumah), he had no choice but to disband the opposition. Those Ghanaians who are paid by foreign governments to undermine their country and their government must understand the harm they do to their country, and should therefore expect that people will hold them to account one day.

  One-party state was the best form of governance. No NPP/NDC nonsense.

  @ Tony Bruce, go to Russia, China, and North Korea if you want a one party state and see if you can even make a comment on social media just as you have done.

  KWAME NKRUMAH WAS 100% RIGHT
  Multi-party politics is not good for Africa. Though Nana Addo is the worst example to cite, most African leaders have the ’winner-take-all’ mentality and opposition parties turn into terrorist organizations - see what NPP is doing in Ghana! Nkrumah was therefore 1 million% right to introduce One-Party State!
  
  In any case, with the Micro-Minority NPP, Ghana is now a One-Party State but name. Bravo to JM for reviving Nkrumah!!!

  @Never steal the peoples power, what good was the bogus democracy we witnessed under useless Akufo Addo? Now, the last time I checked, useless Akufo Addo was constantly going to the one party state communist govt in China for loans. Monarchy, Democracy or Capitalism were all practised in China untill the late 1940s. The onky system which has alleviated poverty in China on a large scale within the last 70 years has been the Communist Party of China.Both Monarchy and Democracy did not lift millions out of poveryy in China. Think a bit, will you? The selfish bastards got rid of a selfless man like Nkrumah , and now they have even destroyed our rivers and forests.What is the benefit of the nonsensical democracy under pretentious and crooked Akufo Addo? Give me Kwame Nkrumah's selfless devotion and patrotism any day.

  Do we have multiparty fatherhood, multiparty clan head, multiparty chieftaincy, etc? It's alien to our African nature.
  Everyone knows it's causing problems for us but we are helpless. Problems during campaign and elections, problems during parliamentary deliberations, problems during vetting etc. Let's figure out something else to suit us. I don't know what system though. Let's think together

  Please I want somebody to answer this question for him. When Ghana gained her independence and kwame Nkrumah became the president, was Ghana owing any country or organization?? how much millions of pounds did they leave for Ghanaians? Was Ghana owing at the time Nkrumah was overthrown? Did Nkrumah borrow to fund Akosombo dam? Wise up

  We would have been much better off as a one party state. The multi party democracy is not doing us any good. It has divided us as a nation because the political parties are ethnically based. We are not making any progress as a country due to the political tension created by the multi party system. What we need in Ghana is a one party political system and a capitalist economy.
