Why do you have to respond to a nonentity who (most probably) has never even attended a communal assignment before in their life just in order to clean their area of the community, never mind making a monumental impact in the nation-building of this country like Dr Kwame Nkrumah did?

@Kwame Owusu.... Prempeh's parents never named him Prempeh. Prempeh was just his nickname. Kwame Asìebe"s parents never named him Bonsu. It was just a nickname. Agyemang, was just a nickname given by two warring Brong Chief to their Ashanti chief mediator. Otumfuo, was the title used by Akwamu chiefs from 1600s to date long before Ashanti was created in 1701.No Ashanti chief used that title from 1701 to 1934. It was only adopted or plagiarised by Ashantis from the Akwamus in 1935.
Per your logic. Kwame Asibe Bonsu, Prempeh 1 and Second and any Asantehene using "Otumfuo" are all imposters. Sadly, your non thinking head is not conditioned to understand the logic.Cheers!

Exactly so. He’s not a Ghanaian. His parents were from Guinea and had stayed in present day Seikwa area and worked as labourers. Look at the beautiful shit reasons behind the change of name!

Ngolomah in Nzema is exactly the same as Nkrumah. It is just spelling snd pronunciation difference. There is no difference between Kwadwo and Kojo. Cobbina and Kwabena.

the FACTS and ACHIEVEMENTS of Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
Ungrateful, Selfish and thiefing EWES-Kotoka, Deku=Deputy IGP, Harley-IGP-DESTROYED OUR DESTINY-by taking CIA Bribes-$10million each.
You are a very short- sighted person-IDIOT. The whole of the Ghana population were illiterates. The British left us with no educated men and women. Secondly-we needed and still need ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE-We are NOW IN ECONOMIC SLAVE TRADE-that is where the West want us BLACKS-to clean their toilets, So the West saw Dr Nkrumah advocating economic independence as a threat to the STATUS QUO. You see the West eliminated Gadaffi but look at LIBYA NOW-The West have destroyed Libya. So the CIA used the J B Danquah, Kotoka, Deku, Harley etc to destabilise Ghana and Africa. The West IS NOT Africa friend. Now the USA CIA Donald Trump is putting blacks-Africans in CHAINS TO DEPORT US.
I do NOT support the NDC or the NPP- I support MY COUNTRY GHANA- I love Dr Kwame Nkrumah to pieces-to death for HIS SELFLESS LEADERSHIP- He built NOT even 1 ROOM for HIMSELF. NKRUMAH NEVER DIES. Dr Kwame Nkrumah IS A TRUE PATRIOT.

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.

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.

YOU HATE BLACK PEOPLE. BOB MARLEY SAID-AFRICA UNITE. IF AFRICA DO NOT UNITE-WE WILL FOREVER BE ECONOMIC SLAVES TO THE WHITE MAN AND WOMAN. THERE IS NO ECONOMIC FREEDOM-INDEPENDENCE DR KWAME NKRUMAH WAS CREATING. THE WHITES SAW IT AND THEY USED BLACK HATERS TO OVERTHROW HIM.
What WILL YOU DO IF I TRIED 11-ELEVEN TIMES TO KILL YOU USING BOMBS, BULLETS, POLICE, SOLDIERS and many more? I BET YOU WILL HANG ME OR GIVE ME FIRING SQUAD. Please Nkrumah was in power from February 1951- February 1966.Please from February. 1951- March 1952, he was Leader of Government Business
. From March 1952- March 1957, he was Prime Minister of the diarchy..From March 1957-June 1960, he was Prime Minister at independence. From July 1960- February 1966 he was President of the Republic of Ghana
These TRAITORS AND NATION WRECKERS HAD TAKEN THE CIA BRIBES TO DESTROY THEIR OWN COUNTRY. AN INNOCENT GIRL OF 9 YEARS WAS KILLED BY THE KULUNGU BOMB ATTEMPT ON DR Kwame Nkrumah. I ask you BLACK IDIOT MONKEY- will the white man or woman ACCEPT YOUR MNEY TO OVERTHROWN THEIR GOVERNMENT? The answer is OBVIOUS-NO. But we BLACKS HATE EACH OTHER. WE BLACKS SOLD OURSELVES AS SLAVES. YOU ARE A DAMN TRAITOR.
The whites saw that Dr Kwame Nkrumak was CREATING ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE IN GHANA AND THAT WAS WHY THEY PLOTTED WITH YOU IDIOTS. NOW AFRICAN CHILDREN ARE DYING IN THEIR THOUSANDS IN THE MEDITERANEAN SEA TO REACH EUROPE. NOW YOU SEE THE SAME CIA AMERICA-USA, PUTTING GHANAIANS AND OTHER AFRICANS IN CHAINS TO DEPORT THEM. THE WHITE MAN AND WOMAN WANTS OUR CHILDREN TO CLEAN THEIR TOILETS. THE WHITES SEE US BLACKS AS FOOLS WHO FOLLOW THEIR CULTURE. DO YOU SEE CHINA AND INDIA-THEY FOLLOW THEIR OWN CULTURE AND THEY HAVE MADE IT.
STUPID DR K A BUSIA DEPORTED NIGERIANS FROM GHANA AND THEN NIGERIA WHEN THEY BECAME RICH AND GHANAIANS WENT THERE-DEPORTED ALL GHANAIANS- YOU SEE WE MUST BE OUR BROTHERS KEEPER.
PRESIDENT OBSANJO OF NIGERIA GAVE PRESIDENT KUFFOUR OVER 500 PEUGEOUT CARS FOR THE GHANA POLICE AND FREE FUEL FOR GHANA-YOU IDIOT-AFRICANS MUST HELP EACH OTHER. OUR RAW MATERIALS AND MINERALS HAVE MADE UK, EUROPE AND USA RICH. OUR ECONOMIC SLAVE TRADE IS MAKING THEM RICHER- WE EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN AND THEY GO AND PAY TAXES FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN OR USE THEIR TAXES TO HELP THESE CHILDREN-IT MEANS THAT THEY GET FREE EDUCATED LABOUR.

Well that history is good to hear but what did we do to continue from there? And where we are today backward for centuries to come? Because Ghanaians at the time allowed themselves to be fooled by some old irresponsible useless individuals who felt Nkrumah has emerge to take away their position and render them useless because they can't come out with anything meaningful. That hatred is what we reaping today.

Please Danny Boy, please the Nzema's have such names. Armah- Kofi Buah (the Minister of Energy), Armah- Kodwo,Ekye- Kwasi, etc.So please President Nkrumah was born on a Saturday.His father named him Nwia- Kofi. He was baptized Francis. So President Nkrumah went to school as Francis Nwia - Kofi Nkrumah. In 1945 he dropped the Francis Nwia-Kofi .Nkrumah and took his day name, Kwame. So please from 1945, President Nkrumah became known as Kwame Nkrumah. Please the Nkrumah was their surname. All his half brothers bore that name. Please one of his half brothers was J D Nkrumah of Tarkwa UAC.Please see page 70 and foot note item 45, page 70 of Kwame Nkrumah the years abroad 1945-1947 by Marika Sherwood
