Nana was right. The independence movement did not start with Nkrumah. As an Engineering student in a polytechnic abroad, I was made to pick up courses in Outline History of Africa, World Civilizations and History of Technology, The history of Nok Culture, etc. In my history class, I read that independence movement actually started after the World War I. The African soldiers who fought alongside the British in trenches realised that the Whiteman is not next to God after all since they witnessed the whites dying miserably besides them and that wiped away the fear and respect accorded to them. Secondly, the humiliating defeat of the Brits by the Japanese in Singapore also raised questions about the superiority of the Great Britain. Other defiance activities like the Aba Women's movement and media warfare waged by veteran African politicians like Nnamdi Azikiwe, who was then domiciled in Accra, and JB Dankwa all contributed positively to the independence of Ghana and Africa as a whole. To isolate Nkrumah and bestow on him the sole achiever of Ghana's independence is very erroneous. I never attended any university but I think universities in Ghana are not teaching our youth well.

Had our independence history ever claimed that Kwame Nkrumah was the lonely architect of our freedom from the brute of the imperialist British administration? The chronicle of our motherland has it vividly that Kwame Nkrumah was invited to lead the organisation for our freedom.

However, they wanted a slow, steady march to independence whilst Nkrumah chose an INDEPENDENCE NOW approach and hence separated from the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) and formed the Convention People's Party (CPP) to champion his drive for freedom which you are enjoying today. Should he have heeded to their advice, Ghana would have gone the way of that of South Africa.

Now, get this, after the Second World War, Britain was stony-broke and have to pay the USA some tens of million of pounds. The Gold Coast which was a colony of theirs was rich in Cocoa, Gold, Diamond and Bauxite among others, a readily available riches they could trade with the US to settle their massive accumulated debt. This very fact gave the impetus for the British to tighten their grip on the then Gold Coast.

So, Nkrumah's INDEPENDENCE NOW was very necessary and timely. Get yourself acquainted with the right history, okay?

What good thing have we been able to achieve with our independence. Britain was colonized for more than one thousand years and that did not destroy that nation. With our hasty independence, are our compatriots not risking their lives to reach the whitemans country and offer themselves to be enslaved by the whiteman? In today's Ghana, look at how we honour those who have ever been enslaved by the whiteman. Is this what you call independence. Look at how we also cherish second-hand clothing from the whiteman's country to the extent of even using towels used by corpses in whiteman's country. Is this what you call independence?

Why take notice of a depressed person who travels several hours to clean just for two hours. Maybe he sees the Ghanaian politician as and to all his suffering in the UK.

You are now mentioning that God will help you guys to delver? Is that what you are going to tell us? You said the formal president didn't do anything for this nation so the only thing he did was women empowerment by bringing the electoral commissioner.so you couldn't even appreciate one or two numerous projects the Mahama administration did around the length and breath of this country so be it.Please live God out of this and deliver now the ball is in your cult.
