Please- you CANNOT compare Dr Kwame Nkrumah with your AKYEM PEOPLE. Dr Kwame Nkrumah was an honest and PATRIOTIC person with INTEGRITY. Compare J B Danquah and his descendants-AKYEM PEOPLE are UNPATRIOTIC and GREEDY/SELFISH. J B Danquah took CIA bribes to BETRAY MOTHER GHANA as a SPY. Look at Ken OFORI ATTA. A real CHRISTIAN Finance Minister- ran away from JUSTICE. Very SAD. A dishonest Akyem Abuakwa man. A Finance Minister running away from justice. An Akyem Abuakwa CRIMINAL. Akyem Abuakwa people DO NOT HAVE MORALS-THEY ARE TRAITORS- VERY WICKED AND SELFISH ANIMALS-UNPATRIOTIC BUNCH. VERY SAD- A TRUE CHRISTIAN-QUOTING FROM THE BIBLE TO PRESENT HIS BUDGETS.......

it all started few years ago when i received a facebook message that a travel agency in Nigeria was recruiting Ghanaians and Nigerians for jobs in Canada, i sold everything i had and borrowed money from a lot of people and kept sending them money for the travel to Canada, when i ran out of money to send to them, they invited me to Nigeria that my visa is ready, when i got to Lagos Nigeria they took the remaining money i had on me and seized my phone and refused to give me my passport that i posted to them earlier from Ghana, i was left stranded and resorted to sleeping under a bridge with some other homeless people and was begging people during the day for help to go back to Ghana, police raided the place i was squatting after some days and arrested everybody there, they took us to court because hard drugs and guns were found on some prostitutes and thugs squatting there, i was sentenced to 2 years in prison because i had no lawyer to defend me, i will finish serving my sentence in 3 months time and sent back to Ghana, my fellow Ghanaians please i need help of any amount of money so i can eat and treat myself, i have been sick and i have not eaten good food for sometime now, i don't want to die now my freedom date is near, no amount of money is too small to help me with, i will appreciate any amount of money sent to me and God will bless and reward the sender abundantly, i can work for the sender when i return to Ghana in 3 months time to pay back, we manage to use smuggled phones here to beg people through facebook and other social media platforms, this is how most prisoners here survive because we are very desperate, the situation here is so terrible, horrible and pathetic, infact we are in hellfire here, people die everyday here from starvation and minor illnesses like malaria and ulcer, please i need help urgently, i need to eat good food and buy malaria drugs to treat myself, the food they give us here is small portions of watery beans and jollof rice that can't satisfy a child, when an inmate is sick here and doesn't have money to buy medication, the prison warders will ignore you until you die or recover without taken medication, they may only give you paracetamol and antibiotics if you cry too much, but if you have money, the prison warders can buy for you good food and medicines from outside, i can be reached on WhatsApp via +2348140725576, this is my cellmate's number, some warders smuggle in phone for people here if you bribe them, i don't have a phone, when you chat, tell her you want to chat with Sandra so she can give the phone to me, please help make my story go viral so i can get help by posting my story and my cellmate's WhatsApp number: +2348140725576 on facebook and WhatsApp groups, please i need help, i'm suffering a lot here.

Ghana achieved political independence in March 1957. In what month in 1957 was the footage captured?
Of course, there were tensions after the political campaign and general election. And everyone knows that Politics is about Winner Takes All. CPP captured power. The losers UGCC fell into opposition and had limited power in Parliament , as it is now with winners NDC and losers NPP.

These people knew Nkrumah before 1957. Nkrumah was the Prime minister from 1952 to 1957. He continued as a Prime minister after independence from 1957 to 1960. When Ghana became a republic in 1960 he became president. Note that the title Prime minister suggests that the queen of England was still the head of state from 1952 to 1960.

These tribal accusations motivated by prejudice and hate don't help anyone or the nation. The ethnicities you charge with these vices are not exclusive. These vices do not have any border; they are a nation-wide, even continent-wide problem. No tribe is immune.

but not that early, even for the rest of 1957, so the "dictator" label (in 1957?) must have been a result of UGCC propaganda dating back to when he was Leader of Government Business, de facto Prime Minister, propaganda from hate that he beat them in popularity.
"Independence Now" versus "Independence as soon as possible".

In fact, it was because of the many attempts on his life by the UP, the derivative of the UGCC, that he turned a dictator.
He had justification.

You know what Jomo Kenyatta said when the British asked him in court when exactly he wanted independence? "Today", he replied.
He didn't get it that day, but he set the revolution afoot, a byproduct from our own beginnings.

The white wash is from the beginning. Ghana don't want to be under nobody, no Britain or Russia. What this children knew about dictatorship when Gold Coast was never rules by democracy government, they just put it in their brains and this is what I call it white wash. Only the useless villagers dark and ugly with red eyes like Satan eyes they can wash their brains, the enemies of Kwame Nkrumah are not from today. Useless slave traders and toilet cleaners in Europe and America.
