This is an imaginary story that exists in a vacume. No one knew the exact ammount of wealth so you cannot compare to Elon. How can Musa be the richest in 1200 when the rest of the world had not been explored.(1500 Magellan). FYI, there is Tesla in every continent, country and city. Mansa Musa in 1200 may have lived in a mud house riding horses on dusty unpaved roads. Never saw a bike, car, steam ship, plane, electricity, a/c etc The world today is way beyond the imagination of people who lived in 1200. Musa's riches was only relative to his time, not today.

They plundered Egyptian Civilisation and raided all of North Africa, Kush, Nubia and Aksum. They came as labourers and traders to Old Ghana Empire but the plan was to conquer. The plundered African Lands and started the Slave Trade long before the Portuguese discovered the sources the gold and human merchandise they sold to Europeans.

I agree with you. These are nothing but historical embellishments. No one in their right mind will believe these outlandish representations. The same people peddling these Mansa Musa deceptions are also the very ones falsely claiming that the Moors were the first to sail into the Americas. The Mansa Musa tale is just another King Solomon fabrication.

@Nzems K, the idiot and utterly hopeless Kofi Abrefa Busia and Traitor Danquah put that crap into the heads of their daft and gullible ancestors.And, their descendants in the 21st century are even more stupid than their ancestors, so, they will keep disturbing our ears till the end of time. The good news is: we have buried NPP for good in Ghana politics,Trouble is: just like their forebears, they will start throwing bombs soon.And, when they end up in prison, they will start screaming dictatorship! That is their strongest selling point. Bunch of imbreds!

As for the bombs, they have got far more experience on how to use them than the recent small boys in ISIS, Al Queda and co so we had better start preparing how to resist them

@ S Nana Gyan. Nobody on planet earth is going to cure the stupidity and idiocy of the followers of wankers such as Kofi Busia and J B Danquah, but we will try to put a fat lot of credible facts into your empty heads. And, judge whether bankrupt Britain did leave money for us or it was our own money that Nkrumah stopped them from stealing and used it to build schools, hospitals etc that we badly needed. Now, read the answer to this question.

WAS BRITAIN BANKRUPT AFTER WORLD WAR 2? .

Yes, Britain was effectively bankrupt after World War II, surviving only through massive American and Canadian loans. Having spent a quarter of its national wealth and seen debt soar to over 200% of GDP, the country faced severe shortages, continued rationing until 1954, and required a $3.75 billion U.S. loan in 1946 to avoid economic collapse.

Key Economic Realities Post-1945:
Massive Debt: National debt rose from £760 million to £3,500 million.

Loan Dependence: The UK relied on the 1946 Anglo-American loan, with final repayments only completed in 2006.

Industrial/Infrastructure Damage: One in three houses was destroyed, and significant manufacturing capacity was lost.
Loss of Trade: Imports heavily outweighed exports, requiring strict austerity measures.

While not literally "bankrupt" in the sense of ceasing to exist as a state, the nation was functionally insolvent, having lost its status as a top-tier financial power and requiring external financing to function.

Ngoloma’s followers deny that the Brits left him any money, thereby distorting factual history to cover up the useless spendthrift called Ngoloma.

Historical records from the British themselves tell us that they were bankrupt.The money was from British taxpayers per sterile 4ucking logic,was it? Absolute 4ucking "ossers"followers of Busia and co are!. The beautiful building at Cape Vars was part of his "Prestige Project" per ignoble Kofi Busia. Cunts, you lot! Naturally, we expect that from ingrates and inbreds.The good news is: NPP is buried forever. Sarfo, start amassing bombs and other explosives come and continue what Baffour Akoto, Busia ,Danquah etc did in the 50s and 60s. Adjei Sarfo , Kwaseatoto!

You may have conspired with the USA to oust Nkrumah's government, but your lies and fabrications have not succeeded in destroying Nkrumah's name or diminishing the importance of his contributions to Ghana.

@ Self Made:
MANSA KANKAN MUSAH IS THE REAL NAME. DID HIS GREATNESS PROPEL NKRUMAH TO BE INITIATED INTO THE KANKAN NYAME ABOSOMSOM WITH THE HELP SEKOU TOURE?

KANKAN WHERE MANSAH MUSAH IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN BORN IS IN THE PRESENT DAY GUINEA.

Self made, the name is actually KANKAN, it’s a name of a medieval city that’s located in the present day Guinea. I have written an article about that medieval city on this platform back in 2023. Under the heading “KWAME NKRUMAH KANKAN NYAME ABOSONSOM IS GHANA’S BANE”. Actually that city is the second capital of the present day Republic of Guinea. History suggests that Mansa Kankan Musah built or was born in that city — considering how prominent Kankan became at the height of the Old Mali Empire under Mansa Musah; after the fall of the old Ghana Empire. Nkrumah’s love for Sékou Touré must’ve made him connected to the beliefs that Kankan’s gods are powerful since that city is considered by some people as a Sacred City from the ancient times.

To be honest a fool is any African who believes the pack of pure lies that the Arabs pumped into their heads in their nonsensical book called Koran. Your curses will have no effect on me because Mohammed was evil and his fake Arab Allah does not exist. Sadly, you are mad enough to follow another mad man who happenned to be an Arab.

• Mansa Musa belonged to the Keita dynasty, the ruling family of the Mali Empire, whose roots lay in the Mandé heartland (which includes the Kankan region).
• Referring to him as “Mansa Musa Kankan” emphasizes his ethnic and regional origin within the Mandinka world.
