They have nothing constructive to offer, their stomach is their benchmark after that the rest of Ghanaians can go to hell.
What reckless generation are these? They live their lives by scheming evil and becoming overlord in communities by siphoning from wherever by whatever means they can to keep up their ill-gotten fame and bequeath these traits to their children’s children.

Fellow Ghanaians, be aware that “Difficulties” are part of life, so it is for a growing nation like ours. It takes sacrifices to build and not laziness and gluttony to consume and destroy what we have here and now. It is obvious that the gluttonous opposition NPP has nothing to clinch on for their campaign; so they think using “corruption” as a slogan will earn them some moral image.

The question is “Who is more corrupt in Ghana than these Dankwa / Busia folks?”

They were lazy and dull witted with UGCC and Nkrumah came to turn things around to obtain independence and republic for Ghana, an enviable position that has liberated the whole of Africa and other parts of the world. What did these reckless do if they think they have the people of Ghana at heart? The sickness of DANKWA/BUSIA people is that, they don’t believe in themselves; had it not been that they would not have gone for Nkrumah. When Nkrumah was making progress in freeing the country from colonial powers, the dumbness and slow thinkers of these Dankwa/ Busua’s cannot grasped the enormous knowledge and experience of Osagyefo.

When Nkrumah became successful with the struggle these DANKWA / BUSIA people became jealous and bitter and it is this feeling that has degenerated into your current circumstances which continue to trouble this great nation. All arguments from Dankwa -Busia camp aims to bring people down and they will do these no matter what, even if they have to kill they will kill.
They don’t learn nor create; evil dwells in their heart. Like Saul in the Bible, when he saw David’s successes, he became so jealous and plot many schemes to eliminate him. But Alas! You have brought untold curse unto your families and generation for that matter "SIN CLUTCHES AT YOUR DOORS" for taken the whole nation for ransom just for the hate of one man. The man died long ago yet you still fight him and have not defeated him.

Our independence struggle is over, we are Ghanaians let’s not live by who gave birth to us but live by what we can use our God given energy to create and bring peace and justice to our fellow being. If the descendants of these Dankwa / Busia parties can see, appreciate and accommodate others views, we all can move this country forward. They need to desist from plagiarising what persist in some countries and learn to create from within (it is not just buying and selling) it is development of human capital.

They took bribe to overthrow Dr.Kwame Nkrumah

They sold our Atomic energy to the Americans.

They are so racist that, they caused the deportation of mass foreign experts and industrialist from the country when Busia took over.

They pulled down all and abandoned all viable economic projects all because Nkrumah started it. “Everything Nkrumah is bad” yet they could not chalked down anything better memorable that has transformed any life in Ghana

Busia took to the presidency with too much talking and did nothing; He initiated policies and executed none of them. Whilst Dankwa descendants are seriously siphoning from state coffers to enrich and entrenched their families and well-wishers. Thank God the then military saw all these dishonesty, nepotism, neo-colonialism and indiscipline growing from these arrogant nation wreckers and non-entities who seek power and don’t know what to do with it than selling what has been built

Education is nothing to them; for them to get to the top means how much money you can exhibit or show to the public but careless about how they make their monies, they are greedy and enjoy backbiting, destroying, killing and make shameless utterances, bullying, join occult and make use of cannabis; these days cocaine.

Too much Trivialmindedness has engulfed with these so called Dankwa/Busia descendants who have never in their lives said the truth nor demonstrated maturity. They always portray silliness, low self-esteemed and endemic mental slavery. What is so worrying is that they don’t mind destroying others because they want power. Attacking and distracting leaders without sound alternative is not only sickening but also portrays immaturity and emptiness of these cohorts. They just want to do or say something to grab unnecessary attention. They have no solution???. if you test their opinion by deep analysis, you always end up by cheap and shallow political biases and unfounded allegations.

They are so narrow minded that they will always dwell on shallow empty propaganda than to think of constructive alternative that will prove their ability as thinkers than “political hip pops” challenging and making empty utterances when silence would have earn them some respect.

It is very unfortunate to have calibre of people who displays nothing than greediness gluttony and cranking attitude towards each other. Even within their party they find it difficult to unite, how would they be able to unite the whole nation? NPP is a truly a joke they have nothing to offer. By their deeds you shall know them.

Ghanaians should not be blinded by these tax looters who only seek their interest by lobbying through their agents who are scattered throughout the country. Their sole interest is to make every regime ungovernable by castigating lies, ugly insults, throwing bombs, killing women, burning markets, lengthy shallow litigations in courts and false alarm blowers. What can they boast of themselves and what have they achieved for Ghana?
They want Ghanaians to be sub-servants to them whilst in their own thinking and mental deliberations; they perpetually remain slaves to neo colonialism.

Have you so soon forgotten how Kuffour brought Gisele Yaazi to Ghana as “special economic advisor” accommodated her in La Palm hotel with seven armed body guards which he later impregnated her with twins?
Were there not economic titans in Ghana at the time Miss Yaazi came in? And what role did she play in making Ghana the heaven Kuffour wanted?

Have you so soon forgotten how Kuffour who has no money to renovate his current residence and it was a farmer friend who sponsored the renovation of the house? Two years down the lane, after twisted the arm of Miss Yaazi by Kuffour`s own promises to her with regard to “hotel wa-wa”, Till today his son can buys hotel bigger than his father’s house. Incredible!!! Where was his son when the father’s house was going down?

Have you also done diligence to who owns Accra mall?
Who now owns Merchant Bank?
What is the source of Addo Kuffour`s income? Who as of now marks the 5th richest person in Africa?

Kuffour travelled more than any President on earth yet what did he bring home?
Kuffour introduced more initiatives (PSI) than any president which one of them survived?
Kuffour`s ministerial appointments was higher than all presidents what were their achievements?
Kuffour`s time in office saw real brutality of innocent and vulnerable people but you offered no defence nor justice for them (Issah Mobilla and Yaa Naa)
Kuffour`s Turn saw over 200 people dying in a stadium which your appointee (Jake Mulato) squandered all donations both foreign and abroad.
“Kick Backs” was the term in your administration and your party chairman then confirms to that.
It is you who has made the presidency so cheap that people like Nkrabea Effah Darteh wants to be president.
Our country became the hub of Cocaine activities. The over spending of these “junkies” is what has lured every Ghanaian today to be rich at all cost.

I find it very sickening when NPP sees nothing wrong with this man who has tainted their party with so much evil and embarrassment in the history our dear nation to walk about unchecked. He is an apology

His Life Story has been so highly elevated and exagerated by his sycophant , criminal and corrupt Supporters to the exact Oppositie side of the true history of this same person could even ever think of dreaming , or achieving for himself

They have shamefully Lied to Ghanaians about the man by succeding to make that allege kwame nkruma , who is a known thief and criminal as a thin "god" to worship at the expence of the poor and naive Country..

Every Story told about him by his Supporters in recent times has been proven to be untrue and inaccurate.

Even his own allege Birthday and his Name has been Certified as False.

What else still remain?

His so called Books were also known to have been written by someone else in New York on his behalf.

Francis Kofi kwame is simply Overrated!

I wish you and all his Kalabule followers a peaceful Weekend in worshipping your corrupt and Opportunist mini "god" of Accra, the Accra god of Ghana.

3.

Why has Ghana come to this?

What are the motives of his followers to make him god to worship and Steal Ghana's Money to celeberate him every year .

Is it a " Woyome " style of Creating, Looting and Sharing from the State to enrich certain individuals?

Over to You Ghana!

4.

So, who was kwame Kofi Nwia nkruma Ngloma.

Who was this real Person of kwame nkruma , who criminally and ignorantly forced Ghana into this Misery of Bankruptcy and poverty, and Naivity

A democracy has no business honouring coup-makers, the anti-constitutional saboteurs, who broke their oath of profession to defend the constitution! Like everything done by the two political monopolies, NPP and NDC, it's all lies when they claim to honour Nkrumah. Even the bible - which has been used to dupe the citizenry by all - states clearly that one cannot worship God and Mammon!

NDC is no different from NPP, except that they have surpassed the thievery of NPP. Let the hypocrisy stop today: Remove the traitor Kotoka's name from our only international airport!

THIS MESSAGE GOES TO RAS BO LONDON AND ALL THOSE WHO THINK LIKE HIM.

We still live in past glory. Some people think the mistakes of the past cannot be corrected. That we are cursed!! When are we going to let the past go and face up today's realities? They happened many many years ago. We still continue to blame today's problems on the past. Do we think the NPP and NDC super corruptions are the making of DANKWA/BUSIA or the CPP? Don't we think it's in the blood of the Ghanaian no matter their political affiliations?
It is long overdue, that after 1966, after 48 good years, we still cling to the glories of the old. Is it not time for today's generation to turn the tables? Today's power cuts, the corruption that has crippled the nation ex. Woyome, Kuffour Waawaa, Gyeeda, etc etc. you name them.
My point is can we for once in our political journey see that we as a generation can turn things around? Ghanaians love the blame game and not taking any pragmatic steps to correct the mistakes of the past. Ghana politics are a smash and grab business, no strong institutions to prosecute offenders.
I have lost hope in the main two political parties. Can there be any third pole? Are Ghanaians wide awake to let go that blind political alliance and seek for another alternative? That is a big ask but it's time that we should start thinking differently if we are to resurrect as a nation. Other nations have done it by leaving the traditional parties and coming out with cream of new ideas. As we celebrate the 105th birthday of the founder of our nation, it's time to think of the way forward. Things have to change and we can do that by ticking outside these two traditional parties. THE BLAME GAME IS NEVER THE ANSWER

You are at liberty to challenge how much money was left behind but the issue is was it spent judiciously to the macimum benefit of ghanaians or was it spent to further Dr Nkrumah's personal political ambition?

He started with the Akosombo Dam, the Tema harbor and township, Tema Oil Refinery, VALCO, Tema Food Complex, Sekondi-Takoradi sea port, built schools with free and compulsory education, revolutionized agriculture, a de-tribalized society, created integrated industries - nothing less than 50 factories for the production of industrial and consumer goods located strategically across the country - Abosso Glass Factory, Komenda Sugar Factory, two tomato factories in Northern Ghana namely in Wenchi and Pwalugu, the Meat Processing factory at Bologatanga, housing projects included in Accra (Labone Estate, Kanda Estates, Osu Ringway Estates, Airport Residential Area) - in Kumasi (Patasi Estate, Kwadaso Estate, Buokrom Estates, North and South Suntreso), the building of three new International airports, starting with the KOTOKA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, to opening up Ghana as the gateway to the rest of Africa, and set the pace in development for the continent....do I need to go on?

If communism or socialism or whatever labels could offer us all this??????? A dictator, an African President for life....call him what you want he delivered!!!!

He left the ones who took over with Billions of dollars worth of our rich natural resources.....100% intact. Guess what?..........Since Rawlings, Kuffour, Mahama and their cronies!

And the way he dealt with the terrorists was better than the way others blow them up in pieces! No leader will sit idle for traitors the JB Danquahs to destroy their nation's economy. NEVER!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OSAGYEFO DR. KWAME NKRUMAH!......A MAN OF VISION, A STRONG, FEARLESS, SELFLESS AND A PATRIOTIC LEADER!

You have turned in your grave enough, to see how your traitors who overthrew you, have reduced GHANA to? Today, I will touch on a quote from your Independence speech.......

"We have won the battle and again rededicate ourselves ... OUR INDEPENDENCE IS MEANINGLESS UNLESS IT IS LINKED UP WITH THE TOTAL LIBERATION OF AFRICA." - Independence Speech - March 6, 1957, Accra, Ghana.

Your people never understood you then and today, Africa is still in POVERTY......even though it has the world's richest natural resources, which others are going to war for!

If the West and now China, does not manipulate one African nation for its benefit, it does with another African nation, to the detriment of its children. And the cycle continues.

Your dream of a UNITED STATE OF AFRICA, was truncated by the GREEDY, SELFISH traitors, stooges and puppets in collaboration with their slave masters.........Sadly enough, they are still at it, in every African nation.

If we had followed suit with your dream, Africa will NEVER be going around begging for aid from others. Asking the EU to sponsor the AU....WOW! Others will rather be knocking on our doors for aid.

Fast forward the rewards of your dream and vision..........and Africa we now have.........
1)An AU BANK funding African nations' developments of which the Bretton Woods institutions such as the IMF and World Bank will not come and dictate to us, the pace of our developments.
2) An AU with political unity, committed to full economic integration, which has been the only productive form of integration that has developed our great rich natural and human resources fully for the well-being of the African people as a whole.
3) A common language, good culture, heritage with good traditional values befitting of a PROPER NON-SUPPRESSIVE EDUCATION SYSTEM which makes every African take pride of being the humans they are! Our history is written as the history of our society, not as the story of European adventures.
4) An AU strategy combating imperialist and colonialists aggression devised on a continental scale, that has curtailed the economic exploitation of our continent.
5) Our economic revolution has made each African country specialize in producing the goods and crops for which it is best suited and as such, we have food and services etc. in abundance. Our citizens and especially, our children do not lack in anything.
6) Our Common Continental Planning (CCP) for the Industrial and Agricultural Development of Africa has yielded abundant food for the continent and others being exported, on a daily basis.
7) Our economy is now orientated beyond foreign control by a COMMON CURRENCY, MONETARY ZONE and CENTRAL BANK OF ISSUE, we now investigate the resources of our continent much more easily.
8) The masses of the people of Africa are happy with our unity, you created.

In view of all that you created in Ghana and the vision you had for Ghana.....we AFRICANS are proud to say we have built upon it and today the African is managing his own affairs! Thank you OSAGYEFO for such a dream and a vision.

Unfortunately, the neo-colonialists and imperialists, in collaboration with the SELFISH and GREEDY AFROPEANS in our midst are making sure it will NEVER happen!

With the likes of the NDC and NPP parties at the helms of affairs? We will continue to go round begging for alms........even to treat cholera in Ghana???????

Your dream and vision was never followed and now, the Ghana you left behind is filled with FILTH, LAWLESSNESS, CORRUPTION, GREED, TRIBAL BIGOTRY, LIES AND SELFISHNESS in all walks of our society!

Oh! Osagyefo! So, these shameless lot, overthrew you for this GHANA??

NKRUMAH NEVER DIES!
GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

naa, I'm not sure if it's worth re-educating you or not......but I guess I will give it a try.

You sound like a brainwashed child with an enslaved mind who falls for anything.....especially distorted historical facts.

Please see only a few of OSAGYEFO'S achievements below and add all the useless leaders who followed him's so-called achievements and learn for yourself:

This GREAT MAN introduced measures to gain economic self-reliance and self-sufficiency. The launch of the Seven Year Development Plan in 1964 was expected to transform the structure of the Ghanaian economy from one that depended on the export of a few raw materials into an industrialized and prosperous society where the basic needs of its citizens are met.

The Plan started with the Akosombo Dam, the Tema harbor and township, Tema Oil Refinery, VALCO, Tema Food Complex, Sekondi-Takoradi sea port, built schools with free and compulsory education, revolutionized agriculture, a de-tribalized society, created integrated industries - nothing less than 50 factories for the production of industrial and consumer goods located strategically across the country - Abosso Glass Factory, Komenda Sugar Factory, two tomato factories in Northern Ghana namely in Wenchi and Pwalugu, the Meat Processing factory at Bologatanga, housing projects included in Accra (Labone Estate, Kanda Estates, Osu Ringway Estates, Airport Residential Area) - in Kumasi (Patasi Estate, Kwadaso Estate, Buokrom Estates, North and South Suntreso), the building of three new International airports, starting with the KOTOKA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, to opening up Ghana as the gateway to the rest of Africa, and set the pace in development for the continent....do I need to go on?

If communism or socialism or whatever labels could offer us all this???????

Please tel me what democracy and your party or its leaders have offered us???

It surely has offered us with freedom for LAWLESSNESS, FILTH, CORRUPTION, GREED, NEPOTISM, TRIBAL BIGOTRY???????????????

naa, I hope you can understand all this? Or I'm just wasting my time with you. The real bloodsuckers came to power and were thrown out.....now a new set of bloodsuckers are in town. Do you remember the women that were sacrificed by your party before the elections???????

NKRUMAH NEVER DIES!!!!
GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

Well Spoken, NONALIGNED. Ignore those empty comments. No matter what, Nkrumah's vision and achievements remain unparalleled. The fact is that Ghana is yet to experience a leader who will match his accomplishments.

The Greatest man of Africa, may your soul rest in perfect peace as we celebrate your 105th birthday anniversary. Generation after Generation will remember you for the good work you did for Ghana in particular and Africa in general. At times, I do remember some of the creeds I learnt as a member of the Young Pioneer.
1. Love for your country
2. Discipline and Obedience
3. Honesty and Morality
4. Punctuality
5. Protection and Save Property
6. Reliability and Secrecy
7. Love for Work
All these and others made people more discipline both at home and at work. What do we see now, the opposite. Osagyefo Rest In Perfect Peace. Amen!!!

All the leaders in ghana are bunch of useless idiots, from Mahama to all of them. Why should we as a nation waste millions on the dead in the name of birthday. I don't understand ghana at all, we are struggling as a nation and yet have money to waste on useless birthday of Kwame Nkrumah who died long time ago. The nation is sinking to abyss with no visionary leader

Bernard, You dont have to stay home, Go to work if you want. Some might say even Christmas is unnecessary but it does not stop anyone to stay home and drink.The only reason why someone like you are pissed off at Nkrumah's birthday is that you are one of them brainwashed people who only knew him and his deeds from traitors (mate-meho) gang who took over after overthrowing our only hope. These motherfuckers. in case you did not know, destroyed your future. The resultant is the bribery and corruption you wished could be eradicated. For us who were around when Osagyefo was president know what he did for the country and indeed the whole of Africa. That is why this holiday is and will ever be. They don't say Nkrumah never dies for nothing, my friend.

I don't understand the mentality and thinking of some people that the fact that some people oppose their views means they are brainwashed. I don't really get it. Biarurbi is right. The holidays in Ghana are too many. Yes he can go to work but all the civil servants that stay away from work tomorrow will be paid. Whose money is that? From Christmas, New Year, Easter through to Eid, farmers day, Au day, K. Nkrumah day etc, etc. Aren't these too many? I called my niece on Friday and had wanted her to do something for me on Monday and she told me it's national holiday. I asked her what it was for and she couldn't even tell. That is Ghana for you!!!

At least dictators have birthdays to be celebrated. Can you find out the birthdays of the early terrorist in Ghana too? The innocent people they bombed to pieces would have have been some children's parents and grand parents today had it no been for their callous and evil acts. No wonder their children do not see anything wrong with that today. Fire burn them. Hypocrites.

Before Nkrumah was born, there was nobody like him in Africa in term of political leadership and also after his death there has been nobody like him in Ghana and Africa. Osagyefo still the greatest.

Why celebrate holiday for such leaders? He killed J.B Danquah and others who brought him to Ghana to be secretary for U.G.C.C. He was another greedy, selfish, and destroyer for Ghana with his one party state. Nkrumah was a dictator like Ghadafi of Lybia. Though, he developed Tema, Accra a little bit. For me I don't like people like Mugabe, Ghadafi, and Nkrumah. I need my freedom of speech.

Shame Famu. JB Danquah and co saw the qualities inside Nkrumah's brain. He was far ahead of them. Jb and co were fools and for themselves only.

You can't be president for life. Ghana is not for you alone. Why did you kill your opponents like J.B. Danquah and others? Who brought you to Ghana to be the secretary of U.G.C.C? You are ungrateful humanbeing. You destroyed Ghana by becoming enemies to your own people that is why we have so many problems in Africa because of dictators types like
Mugaby, Khadafi,Amin, Mobuto. Ask yourself, why we Africans are killing each other? the continent of Africa is full of wars and destructions because of dictatorship you introduced in Africa. Nkrumah trained Mugabe that is why he follow his foot steps. Most African leaders are bunch of criminals why killing your own black people because they opposed your ideas. Nkrumah would never open the door for Obama to become a president. Wise up Africans
