@Po
What did you do with his vision. What would be the future? I have heard a lot of preaching about Kwame Nkrumah's vision and selflessness, but since his death, no real change has happened. Stop preaching and help ensure our river bodies return to normal. The country is naturally dying with this galamsey situation. No one cares. Soon there would be no water to drink. Imported water would become an essential commodity. If people began stealing water because they could not afford, or if infants developed unknown diseases from impure water, there would be a lesson to learn.

@Koo, Manu, and, those destroying our river bodies are the financiers of the NPP whose ancestors loathed and detested everything that Nkrumah stood for. Selflessness, Unitary Ghana etc. Instead their creed has been Greed, Selfishness, Wealth at the expense of others. Even when Wontumi was actively destroying our river bodies, useless Akufo Addo, had the chutzpah to tell us through his false teeth and frothy mouth that "Akonta Mining was not engaged in an illegality". This crap from a man who issued over 2000 mining licences, You can loathe Nkrumah, as much as you want, but just do not come here snd give us any stupid, yes, any stupid lecture about him.We will have none of your ancestral and genetic hatred for Nkrumah.

You would recall that galamsey started long before Akuffo Addo. We're just unable to confront the truth. Both parties are corrupt when it comes to galamsey. I want draw your attention to how the mind of socialism has made us so lazy and corrupt. Mahama may not want to set up government industries because there is no need. The TUC do not believe in productivity, they believe in politics and waste. Look back; the industries that have failed from dishonest management. Ghana Airways, Railways Corp, OSA, most GIHOC branches. Over many years, governments have injected finances into government industries but the results have been financially disastrous. One thing in the minds of most Ghaniains is to use other people's money, either individuals or government; resulting in so much dishonesty.

@ Koo Manu, you are all over the place without making a modicum of sense.
Whether galamsey started before Osei Tutu was born is not the point. Akufo Addo issued over 2000 mining licences,and that made it worse. A fact your non thinking brain cannot compretend.

Now, you must have been on Planet Mars, when capitalist goon called Maxwell Kofi Kumah was paying himself 40,000 cedis to his MoMo account a week despite his huge ,monthly salary at GIHOC.That is socialism under the stewardship of utterly hopeless and useless capitalist wankers called Akufo Addo and Bawumia.

You are an out and out ignorant fart who knows absolutely nothing, Stop displaying your gross stupidity to the world at large.

I thought you were here to tell me the good infrastructural legacies of damp squib capitalist idiot Akufo Addo, only to exhibit your extreme ignorance. "Fa wo nkwaseasem ne wo gyimi fro ho ko ,wae"! And, we do not need a dignified fool of your persuasion to badmouth Kwame Nkrumah. I will give you a well deserved bloody nose anytime a fossilised twat like you comes on here to tarnish the image of Kwame Nkrumah. "We ye Akyene bo bi ba, wae"!

Those who failed Nkrumah most was the lazy TUC comrades. We have them in our midst and there are more coming. Lazy socialist demons who only can preach. No productivity.

Please Koo Manu, please Nkrumah did not fail oop. Please he achieved lndependence for us and developed this country for us. Please the Akosombo dam that we are still using was done by him. The Tema Harbour that is giving us revenue for the development of this country was also done by him. The Tema township that gave Ghanaians accommodation who came to work in Tema was done by him. Nkrumah gave us our first and only motorway. Please it was Nkrumah that established Ghana Commercial bank in 1953, Bank of Ghana in 1957, National Investment Bank in 1963 and Agricultural Development Bank in 1965. Please when Nkrumah came to power in 1951, there was no secondary school in the North and he established the first secondary school, the Tamale Secondary in the North and made it free boarding for them to attend. So the North has enjoyed free boarding in secondary schools since 1951. In 1951, there was only one university graduate, Edmund Alhassan from the North but now see the numerous university graduates including President Mahama and Dr Bawumia from the North. Please when Nkrumah came to power, there were only 13 small small mission schools. Please all the 13 mission schools, Nkrumah gave them new buildings. Then he established the Ghana Education Trust Schools in almost every district of this country Some of the Ghana Education Trust Schools are,Yaa Asantewa, Accra Girls, Mfantsiman Girls, Konongo Odumase Twenebua Kodua,in Kumawu, Dormaa, Sunyani, Techiman, Achirensua, Navrongo, Bawku, Ghana, Tamale, Ghana, Koforidua, Oda,Swedru, Winneba, Apam, Labone, Tema, Keta, Sogakope,, Tarkwa, Kwame Nkrumah, Axim, Half Assini, Asangragwa, the mother of all the Ghana Education Trust Schools, Ghana National College,Coast and many more
Nkrumah also built the Adom, Sokakope, Buipe and Yapei bridges. Ghana Television was established by Nkrumah.Please in those days we were poor so Nkrumah had to build hotels He built the Ambassador, Continental, in Accra. Meridian in Tema, City Hotel in Kumasi and Atlantic hotel in Accra. Please Nkrumah established industries, the brigades and state farms that offered employment to Ghanaians. Please Nkrumah was not a failure. Please he achieved lndependence for us and developed this country for us

Doe he think , Kwame Nkrumah built GIHOC which he claimed to have worked for , simply for Akufo Addo to put his capitalist oriented son- in law Kofi Jumah as CEO to plunder the profits of the company? Well, the hare-brained bonafide idiot called Koo Manu could not answer that simple question. That does not say much about him, does it?
