@Observer.. it is funny these same so called consummate democrats supported and had friend in Apartheid South Africa and Félix Houphouët-Boigny who stayed in office for over 33 years.

They even support the oppression of small Island countries like Cuba by our righteous and democratic first nation we all look up to.

In fact, they worship Houphouet-Boigny's country Ivory Coast, the evil twin of Ghana. Not to talk of Mobuto of Zaire. I wonder what history or principle people like Frank Agyena Karikari were raised with.

Trust me, like that current dictator of Ivory Coast, Alassane, the Busua's would have stayed in office for a long time if God did not have other plans for Ghana.

May God continue to bless our homeland Ghana.

This is testimony that the legendary Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Africa's greatest personality of all time simply never dies. The man has magnificently and menacingly and mercurially and manifestly resurrected in front of the OAU HEADQUARTERS in Addis Ababa and all tongues involved in his overthrow shall confess before they die. Kwame Nkrumah, born in 1909.........he still lives on. Nkrumah never dies!!!

Since you people think Nkrumah wanted to stay forever, was Houphouet-Boigny who stayed for 33 years a dictator?

And who tells you Nkrumah only believed in protectionism and also that the countries that preach free market do not engage in protectionism.
Don't ask me what protectionism and free market is please. I don't have the time to lecture you.

Ghanaians like you are either followers with herd mentality or too dumb to have the capacity for research, analysis and evaluation of a subject to arrive at an educated conclusion.

The people who have thrown any and all accusations at Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP cannot list anything Kwame Nkrumah did personally or the CPP government did that has not been done twice/ 2-times over by any and all the military and civilian governments we have had since February 24th 1966.

Because I know your kind and type, I will not bother to go back in history but will start with your most recent favourite NPP majority government of Akufo-Addo/ Dr. Bawumia.
Did the Akufo-Addo/Dr. Bawumia government not appoint justices to the courts so the government can convict people it did not like?

Did the Akufo-Addo/Dr. Bawumia government not arrest people on a charge of treason/plotting against government? Did the government not block Ghanaians from the Volta region from voting? Did Akufo-Addo and the NPP not bring into Ghana mercenaries from South Africa to train some selected number of NPP members? Did the South African trained NPP beefcakes without much brains not become vigilante groups like delta force etc? Did Akufo-Addo/ Dr. Bawumia not take private savings of Ghanaians without recourse? Were voters not killed while waiting to vote under the Akufo-Addo/Dr. Bawumia's government? Did the Akufo-Addo/Dr. Bawumia government not grant gift of taxpayer monies to friends and family without adherence to public bid process? Did the EC not rig elections for the 2020 elections? Did all of the events listed above and some more happen under the eyes of the ignorant people who believed multi-party system and a democratic label on governance means democracy?

The very NPP/Danquah-dumbo-Busia ideologues who convinced a nation of tribal retards to overthrow our own freely elected government of Kwame Nkrumah are the very same morons who gave birth to maniacal children of our time. Those same children continue to sell the NPP/Danquan-dumbo-Busia lie while they try to own all of Ghana's natural and mineral resources through Agyapa Royalty or privatization of government assests to themselves to become "kingmakers" in Ghana.

Know your history, read but never ever let the likes of Prof Mike Oquaye and a few other classroom educated but nonetheless classical unrepentant retards tell you otherwise. Some of us lived in the Ghana people are selling without truthfullness; we know better.

As for Nkrumah, he facilitated his own overthrow. He wanted Ghana to be a One Party State and also become her President for life. He also started to steer Ghana and some African countries towards the Soviet Union at a time when the Cold War was at its peak. Uncle Sam and her Western Allies were not going to allow that. Can you believe what Uncle Sam has done to Cuba which is about 70 Miles from Florida and a very strong Ally of Soviet Union now Russia. The hardship in Cuba is unimaginable. Cuba has run short of everything, including fuel. Cuba was in a terrible crisis even at the time of Fidel Castro
Nkrumah was careless in his International Relations. The sanctions from Uncle Sam, and his overambitious plan to unite all of Africa and possibly be its President. No Arab country was going to like a Black African as the President of the continent. That is very true.
Nkrumah spent lavishly Ghana's money that the British left the country. Such lavish spending on some African countries that were struggling for independence from their European colonial masters made Ghana almost Bankrupt by,1964. People had to queue for basic necessities like Sugar, Milk and even Bathing Soap. His arbitrary rule made him unpopular and I remember mass jubilation that engulfed Ghana when his overthrow was announced. Yes, the arbitrary detention of Ghanaians, including his benefactors like J.B Danquah who had gone blind in Prison was made to die there and buried at the Prison Cemetery. He was not an evil person to be treated like that. The Akyem generally were not going to be happy. So, as for Nkrumah, he dug his own Grave.

@Frank.. let me tell you something you've not observed!

Our great ancestors disgraced all the actors who perpetuated this act of treachery. None of them enjoyed their booty.

From Ankrah the disgraced bribe taker, to Kotoka who was shot like a dog by his own conspirators, although they made it seem he was killed by coup plotters, to Afrifa who had a trip to the Nugua range to meet his maker.

Even the Busua's and co who hid behind pretending to be democrats were not spared.

May our ancestors continue to haunt their descendents even in their old age for the harm they caused to Ghana.

The claim Cuba is suffering because they've decided to live by their conscience and principles is absurd. Have you ever heard Cuba attack and destroy any country. What at all is their crime on this earth.

Do you realise Nkrumah gained independence for Ghana while these same Westerners looked on and couldn't do a thing.

They only succeeded in removing him because of traitors who only think of their stomach and no legacy.

Don't you get tired of eating cheap tasteless chemical infused food in your so called heaven.

Nkrumah was an African and never looked to the East nor the West.

I doubt you have the mental capacity to understand people can be friends and independent at the same time just like your white masters, slave boy.

Nkrumah trusted the East to his own predicament something our current leaders are still doing.

Frank has not read has read his nation's national anthem that requires him to be honest and truthful to Ghana, not Romania or Bulgaria.

He is also meant to promote the good name of Ghana with the help of God but as former teacher as he claimed he claim he used to be, he has forgotten his lines.

Generally, whenever history is lovely then, the truth had never been written is said. As usual few may always support the negative. The contemporary or Kwame Nkrumah rejected his ideology, dictatorship and socialism as his doctrine. Soviet Union failed, so where was he leading the nation to?
Even deep in the bush people looked around before a word is uttered. The whole nation jubilated on Nkrumah’s downfall. Those who saw him rejected his doctrine then opposed it. The current generation never fed without the original history claim to know more than the people who suffered the atrocity. Condemning the great ancestors of the dear nation.

You these disoriented and indisciplined soldiers are the reason why Ghana is so backward developmentally. Stop hiding under a so called order. Crooked military officers have caused this country a lot of troubles.
Tell me, Major, you mean the unlawful order to overthrow a regime supersedes a constitutional provision. You are a traitor and must be arrested and put before court and given a jail term to serve. So now anyone jumps in the fray and talks about his role in a coup d’état that overthrew a constitutionally elected government. You are a disgrace to the uniform you wore.

Osei Assibey, from my lessons on the state in Political Science, the state is a dictatorship. There is no single state in the world that is not a dictatorship.
The countries that paid members of the Ghana Army and Police to make the coup by their action committed a dictatorship crime, to wit overthrowing the president of another state who was legally elected as president through the use of the security services of that country.
Ghanaians did not go to the polls to vote against Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP or removing him through a universal adult suffrage.
