Pro-Communist Policies

Nkrumah began in 1960 to display openly his pro Communist, Anti-Western beliefs. Under his influence and with his encouragement, Ghana negotiated a number of economic agreements with Communist nations, waged increasingly strident campaigns against "capitalism, imperialism, and neocolonialism," and generally championed positions and policies in world affairs which support and further Communist aims. Moderates within the government were eliminated or lost their influence, while radicals and leftists assumed positions of importance and leadership and became increasingly influential in guiding Ghana further to the left.

Despite all of this, however, Ghana today is not as far into the Communist camp as would seem probable. That Nkrumah and his like-minded followers have not succeeded in more closely identifying Ghana with the Communist world is due to a number of factors -- the Western culture and tradition ingrained over the years of British rule; the fact that Ghana's economy is still closely tied to Western markets; the fact that the governing party is far from being a monolithic organization and has never fully exercised the powers it theoretically possesses; the opposition of the armed forces to closer military ties with the Communists; and the fact that the Communist nations have been increasing reluctant to shore up the deteriorating economy, thus forcing Nkrumah not to alienate completely possible Sources of Western assistance.

"Aspirations for African and World Leadership

Nkrumah, who is driven by ambition to be far more than Ghana's leader, aspires to be recognized not only as the predominant African political personality but as a man to be reckoned with on the international stage. His dreams of grandeur have led to a number of attempts to make Ghana the focal point of wider African political entities -- the abortive Ghana Guinea-Mali union, the defunct Joint African High Command, and his current project of a united Africa -- all of which have foundered in the face of reality and because of the refusal of other African leaders to accord Nkrumah the position of predominance implicit in all of his schemes. Instead, Ghana has become increasingly isolated, and Nkrumah has •earned the distrust of most African leaders and has even alienated his erstwhile radical cronies in Guinea, Mali, and the UAR.

On the international scene, Nkrumah's conception of himself as a world leader has led him to make contacts with other leaders whose real or fancied friendship he values highly. His self-created role has also resulted in frequent offers of gratuitous advice in resolving non-African problems, the details and complexities of which he is largely ignorant. He has thus attempted to insert himself in the Cuban missile crisis, the Sino-Indian border conflict, the Arab-Israeli dispute, the nuclear-disarmament question, and the Vietnamese situation. Nothing has come of any of these efforts.

Although he has succeeded in projecting himself into the African and international scene to a greater extent than most African leaders, Nkrumah is considered by most world leaders to be more of a nuisance and a figure of ridicule than a statesman. These rebuffs, and Nkrumah's consequent sense of extreme frustration, are in part responsible for his policy of encouraging and abetting subversion in Africa, activity which he also rationalizes on the grounds that many African nations -- including all of his close neighbors-- do not support the radical policies which he advocates and are followed by his government."

How I wished Nigeria had a President like John Dramani Mahama who speaks and the world listens, eventhough he rules a very small country as Ghana. My President is the weakest Presudent ever to rule Nigeria and he also lacks the charisma of Dramani Mahama. Ghanaians are lucky to have John Dramani Mahama. If Mahama were ruling Nigeria; Nigeria would have enjoyed the top ranked recognition spot deserving of a country of that magnitude of resources but, Nigeria is not so lucky with the kind of leadership in Badluck Jonathan.

Vote the NDC PARTY OUT in 2016.

THEY HATE AND MAKE FUN OF THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED. THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE EXCEPT MEMBERS OF THEIR GROUP.

(1) THEY HATE OUR WOMEN. Calling for a law that will allow them to stone women when they make mistakes. They are not satisfied with stripping our women naked and whipping them on the streets. '3y3 kanea 3y3 haan'.

(2)THEY ARE CONSTANTLY INSULTING THE CLERGY

(3) THEY SCORN THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED. Ivor's Greenstreet's condition is constantly made fun of by the NDC PARTY. They said the CRIPPLE MUST STAND UP TO SEE OUR 'GOOD WORKS'. NDC have NO HEART.

TODAY THE MERE RADIO COMMENTATOR HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT POLITICS IS NOT FOR THE POOR LIKE HIM. THE POOR MUST NOT RESIGN THEIR JOBS TO SEEK GREENER PASTURE IN POLITICS LIKE NII LANTEY DID. READ WHAT HE SAID:

Deputy Minister of Local Government and Rural Development Nii Lantey Vanderpuye is advising the electorate not to “entrust the fate of their assemblies into the hands of poor aspirants in the forthcoming District Level Elections”.

He says electing poor assembly members would only result in poor policy formulation and implementation.

Nii Lantey was speaking at the launch of a programme targeted at empowering Civil Society and Non-Governmental Organizations to put in proposals to implement projects that will ensure more transparent and accountable governance and improved service delivery.

The upcoming District Level Elections have received a lukewarm attitude from majority of Ghanaians, and the Member of Parliament for Odododiodoo Constituency is urging ‘quality’ candidates to take keen interest and contest to be voted for.

The minister believes the District Level Elections have not been accorded the importance it deserves and part of the reason may be because only poor people tend to be voted to the assemblies.

Senior fellow at the Center for Democratic Development, CDD, Ambassador Francis Tsegah attributes the unenthusiastic attitude towards local governance elections to poor leadership.

He said government would have to “stop the practice of appointing party faithful to key positions for political gratification”.

One of the Pan African Congress laeder was Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. NDC and the liar of Kwesi Pratt have nothing to do with Pan-Af congress legacy. Kwesi Pratt and Mahama have dishonored Ghana with their lies.

Fakery all around. From the delegates arriving at "Kotoka" International Airport to Mahama's speech full of high-sounding nothings and flowery deceit.

They that keep honouring the soldier who staged a coup to overthrow the Osagyefo of Pan Africanism, they that rushed to approve of NATO's overthrow and murder of Gaddafi, they that ran to the IMF after looting and mismanaging the country's wealth, what a sick mockery of Pan Africanism. This is a conference of Pan African-fakism that comes appropriately just in time before the IMF bails out the one percent in Ghana into more looting luxury and the 99 percent of us into pitiless austerity!
