  Stop that your nonsense and attempts to scam people. I am an Educationist and have attended Educational Conferences in Canada many times. I have my very close family members who have lived there for over 35 years. I spend vacations there sometimes
  Let me be empathetic and explain to people who you are trying to scam that Canada has the most strict criteria for Teacher Certification. No person can legally be an Educationist with High School Certification. I have Family members who are Elementary, High Schools, and University Teachers. They did not have such appointments on Silver Platters. Just stop trying to scam the many uninformed with your horrible tales.

  @Ghanaweb, Kwame Nkrumah's legacy is not just the infrastructure we have, his legacy is the country itself and everything in it, plain and simple.

  Nkrumah did well but we also have to say that the British left money behind when they left. Let us appreciate that he did a lot for Ghana but his uncontrollable expenditure on some African countries also made Ghana Bankrupt by 1964 and no Western Countries were prepared to give loans to Ghana and also do economic business with Ghana. His construction of the Akosombo Dam was a Sterling Achievement but he wasted too much of Ghana’s money on some African countries. We remember at least Guinea.
  My Grandfather was a strong CPP who went to the Second World War but was unhappy about the numerous arrests and detentions at Nsawam Death Concentration and Slaughter House. He did reasonably well but his intolerance and arbitrariness when it came to dealing with Ghanaians who disagreed with him were to the extremes. He had later become so unpopular that when he was overthrown, there were mass jubilation throughout Ghana, including Accra Burma Camp, 37 Military Hospital, Kumasi, Takoradi and almost every Regional Capital in Ghana.
  We must admit that Nkrumah did well but he became too arbitrary and lavishly spent Ghana’s money on the OAU. That did not help Ghana. It rather made Ghana Broke.
  He did not need to drag Ghana into World Politics, especially between the Soviet Union and the West. That brought his downfall. Just like Gaddaffi, his deep partisan involvement in World Politics made him dig his own Grave. He did quite well but by his activities, he hurt the economy of Ghana and also dug his own Grave.

  Typical, Nkrumah did BUT. People like you inwardly believe Akuffo Addo was better than Nkrumah and that sums up everything about you and your like minded. If you have not closed up you your small mind, you would understand the do called uncontrolled expenditure you're are talking about.
  Just imagine it was Nana Addo, Kuffour, JB Danquah who came to meet that big money the likes of you keep talking about, all these money would have been in their personal account as we have all witnessed in the last 8yrs under Akuffo Addo. The good news is 99% do not agree with you.

  Ask them how Nkrumah got money to build the Akosombo.
  
  How he build NKUST, UCC, the TRUST schools, factories like Komonda, the tyre factories in the Western region, tomatoes factories in the North, the research institute at Kadaso, the Atomic Centre at Kwebenya, Tema Harbour and the Communities 1 to 10, Kadaso residentials, Akosa, etc, etc.
  
  When JB Danquah's descendent got the chance for 8 years, we saw how hopeless he was and I am sure he would admit these facts himself.
  
  You people should stop this hypocrisy of attempting to praise Nkrumah only to end with a lie.
  
  HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY OSEGYEFUO.

  We are not saying Nkrumah did nothing. Tell us how much the British left for Ghana, how much he controlled all the financial resources of Ghana for that many years where he spent uncontrollably. Tell us how much Ghana money he spent lavishly on some African Countries in attempts at helping them to gain independence. Can you dispute that despite all the British left us, Nkrumah left Ghana bankrupt. Read and research on how Ghana was having problems with getting loan sponsorship for his many projects, including the Akosombo Dam. Ghana was almost Bankrupt when he was kicked out of Power where he was making attempts to establish a One Party State and President for life.
  Can you tell us who was his Vice President? Nkrumah was just Power Drunk. If he was not overthrown, he would have made Ghana like North Korea. He was just a crazy and an arbitrary Dictator. We were young then but saw what was going on.

  @Agyena, the dignified idiot, Britain was bankrupt after the second world war. There was food rationing in Britain in the fifties. Do you mean, the British collected taxes from British tax payers and left it as a charity box for us in Ghana? Nkrumah the genius stopped them from stealing the little that we had to go and use it to rebuild their bombed out country. So, only baptised twats from the odious Danquah Busia Crap with kokonte in their heads keep saying the British left us money. Money that was ours in the first place. Now, Agyena the idiot, i have had a decent bath and brushed my teeth before hitting my keypad to tell you and your repulsive looking pal Adjei Sarfo that you are both scum of the earth. Nkrumah, was selfless and patriotic. He jailed to wankers who tried to kill him from 1955. Keep wailing and screaming. Agyena, wo ye akyene boa bi ba, wai!

  Please, with RESPECT, I beg to differ. The White man and woman CAME TO AFRICA TO SCAM US, TO DEPLETE OUR RESOURCES-MINERALS-HENCE GOLD COAST and THE SLAVE TRADE.
  The Whites or England left Ghana with NO EDUCATION FOR OUR MASSES AND MASSES OF OUR PEOPLE. DR Kwame Nkrumah had NO CHOICE but to start building schools and universities, teacher training colleges etc etc to help increase the level of education of our people to form the human resource base for both national economic and social development.
  Dr Kwame Nkrumah also started building factories and Akosombo Dam for our self sufficiency and development-energy needs sustainability.
  To err is human but Dr Kwame Nkrumah saw that we BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO HELP EACH OTHER. As you can see from USA-TRUMP POLICY-AMERICA FIRST. TRUMP has even abandoned NATO-Europe to PAY for themselves. TRUMP has STOPPED USAID etc etc. Africa was in a unique situation. Dr Kwame Nkrumah helped Sekou Toure of Guinea when Guinea refused to kowtow to France imperialist demands. AFRICA MUST UNITE-BOB MARLEY. Dr Nkrumah helped Zimbabwe-Mugabe etc to come and educate themselves in Ghana. But now-Ghana people are also in Zambia, Botswana, South Africa, Egypt, Morrocco, Algeria etc etc. You see-Africa is our DESTINY and HOMELAND. President Kuffour when he came to power- WENT TO NIGERIA TO BEG, President Obasanjo of Nigeria gave Ghana 500 peugeot cars for the Ghana police use-free of charge, President Obasanjo gave Ghana FREE CRUDE OIL-now you see the irony of what Dr Kwame Nkrumah did for Guinea-Nigeria also did it to Ghana in our hour of NEED. NOBODY IS PERFECT.
  I do not want to go on and on. STUPID Dr K A Busia BOOTED OUT NIGERIANS FROM Ghana in 1971 SHORTSIGHTEDLY- Nigeria also booted out 3 million Ghanaians in 1981-IS IT NOT REVENGE? LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF- BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW TOMORROW- NIGERIA IS RICH NOW.

Bye bye you BLACK PEOPLE ARE THEIR OWN DOWNFALL-BLACKS HATE EACH OTHER. The white man or woman will NEVER betray thair COUNTRIES to you the BLACK MONEY. But we took their money and AFRICAN CHILDREN ARE DYING IN THEIT THOUSANDS IN THE MEDITERRENEAN SEA TO REACH EUROPE-ITALY AND SPAIN

  Dr Kwame Nkrumah also did so much for the north as well interms of education:
  Ghana College, Tamale, Government secondary school, Tamale, Bawku, Yendi, Lawra, Wa, Nalerigu Damongo secondary schools etc.. You are right Kwame Nkrumah was a visionary leader. He did all this in less than 9years.
  What a big loss he has been to the nation!!! His compulsory policy of education for all children gave some of us especially from the north the opportunity to go to school. Otherwise my father had no clue about education and didn’t see the need for his children to go to school.
  
  May GOD ALMIGHTY give him wisdom , anchor and victory to be able to do this again with sustained efforts.
  Don't forget Acherensua Secondary School (Achisco) which was the only secondary school in Ahafo until 1970 when Busia converted Hwidiem and Mim Training Colleges to secondary schools. And other schools like Yaa Asantewah Secondary School, Konongo Odumasi Secondary School, and many more. You can easily identify the schools by the similar buildings, which were constructed under the Education Trust Fund. Nkrumah was selfless, and a visioneer. Up to the present, nobody has come out to accuse him of corruption or kalabule. He left no mansion or assets. Akuffo Addo family and the Akyem traitors are thieves, and with fake British vocal accents.
  How can foreign agents who helped overthrow the greatest African leader of our time ever be the source of inspiration? Yet today, some of them are celebrated, their names carved into our national story as though they were patriots.
  
  Let us speak plainly: one of these so-called heroes destroyed the foundations of our industries, handing assets to his wife and cronies. Another, J. B. Danquah, betrayed the very cause of independence and sided with those who sought to keep Ghana shackled. And Emmanuel Kotoka, whose coup cut short our march toward true self-determination, is still paraded as though he were a liberator. These are not heroes. They are traitors.
  
  The tragedy is not only in what they did, but in how their legacies have been dressed up for the next generation. If the adults fool themselves, the children are watching — and they will see through the lies. You cannot build a nation on falsehood.
  
  This is why today, the NPP is reaping the fruits of the seeds it sowed. By glorifying betrayal, by distorting history, by venerating those who sold Ghana’s future to foreign hands, they have set themselves on a path where truth and justice catch up.
  
  History has only one verdict: those who sell their people for personal gain are never remembered as heroes, no matter how many statues are built in their name.

  Ghana College, Tamale, Government secondary school, Tamale, Bawku, Yendi, Lawra, Wa, Nalerigu Damongo secondary schools etc.. You are right Kwame Nkrumah was a visionary leader. He did all this in less than 9years.
  What a big loss he has been to the nation!!! His compulsory policy of education for all children gave some of us especially from the north the opportunity to go to school. Otherwise my father had no clue about education and didn’t see the need for his children to go to school.
  
  May GOD ALMIGHTY give him wisdom , anchor and victory to be able to do this again with sustained efforts.
  Don't forget Acherensua Secondary School (Achisco) which was the only secondary school in Ahafo until 1970 when Busia converted Hwidiem and Mim Training Colleges to secondary schools. And other schools like Yaa Asantewah Secondary School, Konongo Odumasi Secondary School, and many more. You can easily identify the schools by the similar buildings, which were constructed under the Education Trust Fund. Nkrumah was selfless, and a visioneer. Up to the present, nobody has come out to accuse him of corruption or kalabule. He left no mansion or assets. Akuffo Addo family and the Akyem traitors are thieves, and with fake British vocal accents.
  How can foreign agents who helped overthrow the greatest African leader of our time ever be the source of inspiration? Yet today, some of them are celebrated, their names carved into our national story as though they were patriots.
  
  Let us speak plainly: one of these so-called heroes destroyed the foundations of our industries, handing assets to his wife and cronies. Another, J. B. Danquah, betrayed the very cause of independence and sided with those who sought to keep Ghana shackled. And Emmanuel Kotoka, whose coup cut short our march toward true self-determination, is still paraded as though he were a liberator. These are not heroes. They are traitors.
  
  The tragedy is not only in what they did, but in how their legacies have been dressed up for the next generation. If the adults fool themselves, the children are watching — and they will see through the lies. You cannot build a nation on falsehood.
  
  This is why today, the NPP is reaping the fruits of the seeds it sowed. By glorifying betrayal, by distorting history, by venerating those who sold Ghana’s future to foreign hands, they have set themselves on a path where truth and justice catch up.
  
  History has only one verdict: those who sell their people for personal gain are never remembered as heroes, no matter how many statues are built in their name.

  Young man, one person cannot and does not form a country. A country is rather founded by a Group of People. That is why we have the Big Six.

People who shall accept such claims will be living in a Fool’s Paradise. Even towns and villages everywhere in the World cannot be honestly and Technically claim to have been Founded by One Person. Don’t let Political Nonsense make us fools. Even AFRC and PNDC. cannot be said to have been Founded by one person His Excellency Efo Jeremiah John Rawlings. He was rather the leader.

  Simon Boliva, is credited for being the founder of Bolivia and Venezuela. You can stick your ceaseless "Nkwaseasem" where it belongs. Kwame Nkrumah, is the undisputed Founder of Ghana. You can fly from Georgia to Ghana and drink a cup full of Akufo Addo's polluted rivers in Ghana to cheer yourself up. Look, NPP, as a political party is now dead as a door nail. Your fabulous 87 MPs will shrink to 40 in 2028. You, Adjei Sarfo, Rockson Adofo, Okoampah can keep wanking.

  General Mosquito is a luminary politician who is tactical, technical and well oriented in the current political paradigm of the 4th republic. He is the sole survival of current NDC after Rawlings and Konadu cantata which nearly collapse NDC. He sacrifice his life for NDC at anytime and made crucial decisions timely which bear the juicy political power NDC is currently enjoying.
  He groomed and matured NDC after 2016 defeat and brought it to victory in 2024. There's no other formadable person in NDC than Chairman General. If he decides to Run for Presidency, NDC must pay him with loyalty and make him Unopposed. Follow #Akatamansonians on Twitter. Read #Why Aseidu Nketiah Must Lead NDC into 2028 election.

  Also, Dr Nkrumah came to power in 1951 to meet the nudity of women in the North. The British government did nothing about it. Dr Nkrumah imported second hand clothing and sent Mrs Hannah Cudjoe from Dixcove, Western Province of the Gold Coast Colony to the North. From village to village and from town to town. Mrs Hannah Cudjoe and her team of Social Welfare officers, toured the whole of the North covering the nudity of women in the North. When GTP first produced the Cedi cloth, President Nkrumah sent bales and bales of the cedi cloth to the North for distribution to women in the North..Page 316 Ghana 's Pride and Glory ( Biography of some eminent Ghanaian personalities and Sir Gordon Guggisberg) by Aidoohene Blay Chinbuah; Page 11, Daily Graphic Friday November 30 2007.
