JB Danquah; Kwame Nkrumah
Then,
They looked in different directions,
They had different visions.
They pursued contrasting intentions,
They took opposing decisions.
‘Self-government in a shortest possible time’ versus ‘Self-government now’,
Self-government later versus self-government now. Certainly, a lot in common,
Fundamentally different, who has the superior opinion?
Who won at the end of the day?
JB Danquah? Kwame Nkrumah?
What about Ghana?
What about Africa?
Now,
We look in different directions,
We celebrate different occasions.
We argue on different sides of history,
We contend with each other on who is legendary.
‘Who is the founder of Ghana?’ versus ‘Who are the founders of Ghana?’
A singular effort for liberation versus a collective.
Is this now getting argumentative?
All to project one family relative?
Who is winning now?
JB Danquah? Kwame Nkrumah?
What about Ghana?
What about Africa?
