It's all about reminding us of history and what the matemehu people did to us. When they talk about democratic principles it would remind us that their elders were the ones who supported the CIA to remove the greatest African from power and imposed busia, the man who supported apartheid South Africa. The chiefs point is never again should we allow that. Just look at addo the monkey's performance. Siding with the French to remove sahel leaders who everyone accept to be progressive. It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white as long as it catches mice. As long as government delivers we don't care if it is white man's democracy or military

The same thing happened to us when we went on an anti UNIGOV demo against the military government in 1978!

I can understand the trauma suffered as a result of the beatings from soldiers but is having to walk the relatively short distance from Flagstaff House to Legon also too much a price to pay for the heroic effort in demonstrating in favor of the govt of the Greatest African?

I am certain that there are many more positive and respectable accounts of this nature that were effectively suppressed by the collaboration of our foreign oppressors, the Western imperialist media and their local hangers-on and more significantly, the criminal gang of treacherous undemocratic elements who destroyed the most outstanding effort to break the chains of slavery, oppression and under-development of Ghana and Africa.

Congratulations to the Chief.

Akiti, you have been reading too many fable stories about Nkrumah. He was not perfect. He created a situation whereby the opposition was gagged. No freedom of spèech, no free press, detention without trial and so on. Notwistanding all the negatives he did some good things cannot be denied. Please he was simply not perfect.

Akiti, try to understand that the February 24th, 1966, coup was welcomed by Ghanaians then because of the prevailing conditions in the country. How old were you then? Look at the jubilation of the June 4th "Uprising" and do you think every Ghana was in support of that but as long as the majority are in favor, so be it.

Today, the narrative about the 1966 coup has changed because the Ghanaian today did not witness what happen then.

Those were the ALUTA days, when we were travelling between home and campus like travelling between Nsawam and Accra.

Indeed ALL SHALL PASS, considering the issues we once went through.

Wow, Nana Asiedu Ababio III was a Legon student in 1966.
He looks relatively very young and healthy.

God has blessed him.
