Why always rely on Dr.Nkrumah policies and can't think of your own policies to move mother Ghana forward in this 21St century?

Do you repair something that is not broken? You can only improve on the works of a genius and visionary but cannot discard his original ideas.

If Nkrumah was alive and the President, she could not have spoken against the Government in Power. Nkrumah could have done better but he was Power Drunk. He imprisoned even his benefactors some of who were treated so badly that they were allowed to die in Prison. Where did Obitsebi die? He was the benefactor of Kwame Nkrumah but was made to die at the Nsawam Penitentiary against the decision of the Prison Medical Board. Then he was buried at the Nsawam Prison Cemetery.
Yes, J.B Danquah was imprisoned in horrible conditions at Nsawam. He was getting Blind and wrote to Nkrumah to let him to be released to go home and die peacefully. He explained that he was no harm to the the Government of Nkrumah. Kwame Nkrumah did not yield but made him go Blind at Nsawam and die in Prison. He was also buried at the Nsawam Prison Cemetery. Who then will like Nkrumah? Many attempts were made on the life on Nkrumah, including the Bombing at KULUNGUGU. I was quite young when that Bombing took place. After that, he became more arbitrary. Even his own supporters started to flee Ghana for fear of their lives.
I am trying to find out who was the Vice President of Kwame Nkrumah for the years he was President? There was nobody. He declared himself President for life and the Life President for Ghana. What arbitrary and nonsensical nonsense was that? When he was overthrown by the Gallant Military and Police Personnel of Ghana and it was announced, I remember the massive jubilation that engulfed Ghana. Even the women selling and buying at the markets jubilated. I remember that roads in towns and cities were blocked as jubilant people took place everywhere in Ghana.
Nkrumah should be blamed for his own overthrow. He tried to drag Ghana and some African countries into the Cold War between the USSR and the Western World on the side of the Soviet Union. Those were turbulent times and Uncle Sam and her Western European allies were not going to have none of that. Living Conditions were very horrible and harsh in Ghana. So many people were carted and imprisoned at the Nsawam Penitentiary and Murderous Concentration Center. Ghanaians had become disgruntled but couldn't do anything until Kotoka and his Gallant Military and Police Officers kicked Nkrumah out of Office. Finally, he died in isolation and abandonment at Guinea. Many Ghanaians never felt bad for his overthrow.
Nkrumah ruined the economy of Ghana with his useless championship of the useless OAU where he wanted to be the President of a United Africa. He was not smart to realize that the Arabs of North Africa were never going to yield to have a Black African to be the President of a United Africa. Nigeria which was far richer and bigger than Ghana was also never going to agree to have a Ghanaian as the President of Africa.
Nkrumah has been known as the one who cooked his own overthrow. Yes, and he lived a solitary life in Guinea where his wife and Children had abandoned him to live in Cairo, Egypt. It is good that he died in such a miserable way.

Nkrumah was brilliant, he understood government and political economics. The mistake he made he was too confident and forgot the enemies within and abroad. They were watching and waiting to make a move, and they found greedy MEN within.
