These NPP slow thinking, backward thinking loud mouth, bookish people mixed with primitivity are the ones holding Ghana back
NPP isn't hindering anything rather, our first president was a power drunk maniac. The philosophical foundation this man was talking about should have been done by Nkrumah instead, he was in a hurry of uniting Africa at time ...

Do you know who is destroying Ghana? Our well educated men, women etc. They are the ones destroying the country and not me. The rot, cancerous corruption is their signature tune and it all started with Nkrumah. During his r ...

What should not exit your mind is, Nkrumah did not start everything by himself. He was brought along to join the fight and should have listened to other voices too. Where do you and are you under the clutches of "one party ...

Nkrumah attempted to rapidly industrialize Ghana's economy. He reasoned that if Ghana escaped the colonial trade system by reducing dependence on foreign capital, technology, and material goods, it could become truly independ ...

At the time ghana's population was 6million. Natural resources was everywhere. Folks read about Nkrumah and you will find out what he could have done for us as a people instead of what he left us
Guy you are smart,Nkrumah knew they were after him and it will take a long time for his enemies to understand the core reasons he was doing what he did.l have been living in sweden for the past 8 years and sometimes when l ca ...

SON OF MAN,these people use emosions as reasoning,never for them to dare look in the face of the flowing fact
are a jss product oh and why don't go to north korea or cuba to see how such a system works?
Mugu Yao, please read wide about Nkrumah and pause a little bit before you make that comparison.
I'm 100% with you! I think Nkrumah made the same mistake for failing
to understand that he was many centuries ahead of his contemporaries.
I do not usually fall in line with NPP politics of today partly because of the divisve die hard elements that had found a way to hijack the party and trying very hard to use the NPP aparatus to implemet their ethnic supremaci ...

why don't you be brave and name the people you are talking about?
Even if, as in your opinion, Kwame Nkrumah failed at all, it was only because he did not eliminate a terminally under-developed fetus like yourself who cannot even string correct tenses together in a sentence to make sense bu ...

STOP YOUR LIES.WHERE AND WHEN WAS THAT VOTE?COUNTRY BOY STOP THESE LIES,BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT HELP ANYONE.THE DICTATOR MUST REST PEACIFULLY IN HIS GRAVE.
Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem?
What at all is wrong with the brain of African people? Just give a country like Ghana to a group of white people and within 5 years the will be developed.
without Nkrumah and his support to those freedom fighters, people like will still be living in caves wearing tungas

THE P/NDCs ARE THE CONTINUATION OF KWAME NKRUMAS'S DICTATORSHIP

Unbridled thievery of national assets is the philosophical foundation of Aidoo and the NDC - the most devastating cause of poverty, unemployment, and backwardness for Ghana!
