These are people who envied Nkrumah, thinking they were better than him and could have his position. Nkrumah surrendered himself with traitors ready to take his position. Most of the educated elite at time of his presidency were back stabbers, boot licking colonial masters for recognition.

That's how career Diplomats are supposed to work.They are not subservient to a sitting President bcoz Kwame Nkrumah was not the owner of Ghana. Nkrumah had been overthrown and was not to be accorded any privilege.

According to the story, they were expelled from the embassy and they had to endure the cold weather and snow in Moscow. Was the embassy their place of abode?

1. Dr Kwame Nkrumah was arrested and put into PRISON-He sacrificed his life for his country Ghana-Nkrumah-NEVER STOLE-DID NOT BUILT ONE ROOM FOR HIMSELF.
2. NELSON MANDELA-was arrested and put into prison for 27 years-HE SACRIFICED FOR HIS COUNTRY-NELSON MANDELA NEVER STOLE ANYTHING-HE WAS SELFLESS AND EVERYBODY ADMIRE HIS SELFLESSNESS AND INTEGRITY.
3. Akuffo Addo-says that he led protests and as such HE STOLE GHANA MONEY £900 MILLION, Ken Ofori Atta-STOLE £600 million, Edward Akuffo Addo-STOLE £450million, ATTA AKYEA-STOLE-£650million, GABBY OCTHERE DARKO-STOLE £450million and all THE 43 Family Members in his Government STOLE Millions of US DOLLARS which are the borrowed 51 billion US DOLLARS.

You are arguing for nothing-these are 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.
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 Asantewaah 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 visioner. 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.9988876543888

Stop talking from ignorance by saying Nkrumah never built one room for himself. Read the Justice F. K. Apaloo Report which investigated and reported on Nkrumah's assets. Nkrumah had a house in one of the most plush areas in Cairo in Egypt. That was where Fathia and her children lived when they went to Egypt.

But where are we now? Ghana is a FAILED STATE. That was why in 2024 Ghana went to the IMF and the World Bank Cup in hand to beg for a bailout. What did we receive in return for betraying our country. I ask you will the white man and woman accept you black monkey money to betray their country? The ANSWER IS OBVIOUS-NO. We BLACKS people are unpatriotic and very selfish. The WHITEMAN see us as the followers of their STUPID culture. Look at China and India, they stick to their culture and language in their schools and education system and they have made it. African children are dying in their thousands in the Mediterranean sea. 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.

One of the biggest coconuts in the history of Ghana. He betrayed the Osagyefo just like all of the Labone based Nkrumah appointee before the cock crowed 3 times. Then he rushed home to pledge his allegations to the new government but they saw through his treachery and jailed him! As soon he was released, he fled to the UK where he claimed political asylum even though nobody taanodo. And that's where he lived until he died in July 2018 aged 101.

Please Nkrumah was not a Communist. His foreign policy was non alignment and positive neutrality. As a newly independent African country he dealt with all countries. Please it was to America and Great Britain that he went for assistance for the Akosombo dam. It was to Great Britain he went for assistance for the establishment of Ghana Airways.It was to Israel and lndia that he went for assistance to establish our Airforce. It was to Israel that he went for assistance to establish our National shipping line, the Black Star line,. It was to Canada that he went for the establishment of Ghana Television in 1965. President Nkrumah established and opened the Ghana Textiles and Printing(GTP) Company with Dutch investors in January 1966. Then he went to Eastern Europe for assistance to establish the Bui dam and the Atomic Energy at Kwabenya.When the coup came, the coupists sent the Russians working on the Bui dam and the Atomic Energy away and abandoned the project. So many years later President Kuffuor brought Communist China to construct the Bui dam!!!.Please President Nkrumah was not a Communist. He dealt with all countries. Please it was his political opponents who were inward looking, primitive and uncivilized that called him Communist when he went.to Eastern Europe and China for assistance for Ghana. Please President Nkrumah was not a Communist. His foreign policy was non alignment and positive neutrality. He said, we are neither East nor West. Please he sought assistance from all countries Please it was his political opponents who were inward looking, primitive and uncivilized that called him a Communist when he went to Eastern Europe and China for assistance for Ghana

Ewes and Northerners have been very loyal since Adam in Ghana. If they don't like you. They would make their stand known from day one.
