Too old to think logically?
tell ugly old Akufo-Addo to step down as flag bearer of the Akan tribal narcotics peoples party NPP , he is too old to handle and that's even as to whether he would come close to Mahama's vote. he is visionless
If Osagyefo accepted them, he will have conditioned it on something big and beneficial for Ghana, like ending dumsor immediately. Nkrumah was too intelligent to be compared to Mahama and evil Hannah Tetteh.

Kwame Nkrumah took a lot of decisions that did not favour Ghana, besides he is dead and gone. Ghana doesn't belong to him so please give us a break.

You are naive. You do not know politics. How do you think Kwame Nkrumah got money build the Akosombo dam? Akofo Addo would have done the same if he were a president. Don't be conned.

You right, he is out dated
Very good. They never talk about something contributive to the nation. Always referring to old ideologies.
What is the difference between his thinking and that of Nana Addo as far as age is concerned. Remember he is far intelligent and wiser than Nana Addo.
He has simply confirmed Nana Addo is ignorant from what he said.
wHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH NKRUMAH. WE KEEP REFERRING TO NKRUMAH AS IF HE WAS A SAINT HE WAS AN IDIOT WHO WAS LIKE THE TERRORISTS. PUTTING PEOPLE IN JAIL WITHOUT TRIAL
