Re: '“Osagyefo Dr.” Hosni Mubarak'

Okoampa, it is unbelievable the level to which your delusion of grandeur and

pathological hatred of, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, the greatest African leader of our

times can go. But to think that you have extended that hatred to his

children who have done nothing to you is a shame and all decent people in

Ghana and around the world will not stand there and allow you to propagate

your misguided trash against Gamel Nkrumah without a comment. As the saying

goes 'if you want to know your ancestral history, go and beat an old lady's

child.' Read what The Odikro has posted today on your tripe. You are

assured, as usual, that you will learn a lot of lesson from it.

Your problem is that you consistently fail to appreciate that nobody knows

or cares about your great-uncle, J. B. Danquah, whereas Kwame Nkrumah is

known to the world for what he achieved in his life time and what his

powerful ideas still mean not only to Ghana but Africa and all black people.

You may hate to hear that but it is the fact. You can try to distort that

fact and hide it but it will show up everywhere you run and hide. You cannot

run from history; you should know that at his stage in your education.

Your unnecessay attack on Gamel Nkrumah and your rather cowardice attempts

to avoid listening to him will not change anyhting. God blessed Kwame

Nkrumah and his family; a mere mortal like you have absolutely no say in it

even though, for some strange reason, you obviously believe you can take

that away from him. Gamel does not need neo-colonialist puppets like you to

make a point in this world and as you have found out at your own cost, the

world does not need you or your permission to decide who Kwame Nkrumah was.

The world has recognised him and his work in Ghana and in the liberation of

Africa and will continue to do so despite your hateful confused ideas and

misguided attempts to rewrite the history of the liberation of Ghana. You

can try but it will not wash because as you can see, Nkrumahism is much

bigger and more durable than you can begin to imagine and we will continue

to tell the truth as it was for the world to judge for themselves despite

your falsehood.

You talk about not being prepared to listen to scholars in your college who

could not speak any major Ghanaian language trying to talk about Ghanaians

history? Really Mr Professor? What a shame! And we thought you are someone

that values freedom of expression? So that does not matter so long as it is

you on the receiving end? Tell us, Mr Professor, when did it became a

requirement for anyone to speak the language of a people before he could

speak about historical facts about such people? You see how your

pathological hatred of Kwame Nkrumah has affected your judgement and how you

keep disgracing yourelf in public? For someone that calls himself a

professor, you do not cease to amaze the way you apply your myopic views and

selected memory when it comes to what you consider important in academia.

The people of Egypt will be free just as Kwame Nkrumah said Ghana and

Africa, including Egypt, would be free. That freedom did not end with

independence. We are still fighting for that freedom for Africa despite

entrenched traitors and neo-colonialists reactionaries like you. Gamel

Nkrumah, being a Pan-Africanist like his father, has the right to fight for

the interest of the African people and for that matter, the interest of the

Egyptian people. But we are not surprised on which side a neo-colonial

puppet like you stand when it comes to what is going on in Egypt, Ivory

Coast and Tunisia. You could not even hide your contempt and that of your

Danquah-Busia-Dombo, traitors' party now called NPP in the continental

African agenda, which is political and economic liberation and unity. That

is the issue that is playing itself out right in the face of the world in

Egypt and that was what Gamel Nkrumah was talking about, even though not in

so many words. No amount of your hatred of him and distortion of his message

will ever drum out that.

Mubarak is a puppet as they come and in that sense, he epitomises the kind

of African dictator used by others to suppress his own people's wishes so

long as the aims of his masters are attained. On that basis, Kwame Nkrumah

and Mubarak are like chalk and cheese. Mubarak is like Mobutu of Congo,

while Nkrumah was like Nasser. Surely you could not be that blind by hatred

that you would choose not to see that? In fact, the NDP in Egypt does

exactly the same job as the NPP does in Ghana and in that sense, Mubarak is

exactly like Nana Akufo Addo, your leader, a puppet on the string just as

all your so-called Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition has always been.

You talk of Kwame Nkrumah forming a one-party state? What do you expect when

your Mate Meho decleared war on the state of Ghana and went about throwing

bombs instead of doing politics by votes? Of course the fact that your UP

(NPP) could not win votes against the CPP is on record but, as usual, in

your misguided drive to rewrite history, you either tell half truths on this

issue or lie. But you are not the only person in Ghana, even though from

your warped writings, it is difficult not to think so.

Your nation wrecking Mate Meho stood against the liberation of Ghana and

Nkrumah said not on his dead body. Now you want us to forget all that and

recognise Danquah, the leader of them, as what? Why should we recognise your

clueless great-uncle who sat there pussyfooting until the Show-Boy came and

run rings around him and his colonial masters? Was that an achievement to

write home about, Mr Professor? You should be blaming Danquah for being so

confused and misguided, just as you are doing regarding Egypt and as has

been demonstrated by your NPP's neocolonial position on the Ivory Coast

crisis. Anyhting, but for the interest of the African peoples. Traitors!

You may try to divert the perverted attempt of the NPP to be traitors

against the African peoples but intelligent people do not need your kind to

explain yourself. They can see the NPP for what it is. The NPP are not

interested in democracy; what they are interested in, is always the power of

their so-called wealthy few and if that means selling the rights of the

people, so be it! Look at it. In Ghana, they left the democratic

dispensation after they could not win votes at the polls even when Nkrumah

was in prison and their own friends were in charge and supported them with

all they need. Despite the clear rejection of them by the good people of

Ghana, they thought they could win and every time they lost they asked for

another election one after the other; but they lost all. Instead of staying

and fighting through the democracy they claimed they believed in, they opted

for throwing bombs. In Ivory Coast, they advocate violence against the

Ivorian people rather than dialogue while in South Africa, they choose

dialogue with the racist minority white government that enslaved the blacks.

Now, in Egypt you are blaming Gamel Nkrumah for calling for the wishes of

the people to prevail against the puppet president that had been in power

for 30years? When one looks at all these state of affairs, the common

factors are just three: African liberation fighters, reactionary

neo-colonial forces and imperialists.

In Ghana, Ivory Coast and Egypt you and your NPP represent the neo-colonial

reactionary forces that do the dirty job of your imperialist masters and you

know the CPP and Gamel Nkrumah represent the liberation forces. So it is

clear that Nana Akufo Addo, Ouattara and Mubarak are in the same team and

that team, is the neo-colonialists traitors' team and it is very clear that

that team excludes Kwame Nkrumah and Gamel Nkrumah no matter how you try to

destroy the messenger because you cannot deal with the message. You see! You

cannot pull the wool over the eyes of the people, even though, that is what

you think you can do.

If your great-uncle, J. B. Danquah, had done his job effectively instead of

playing games with his oppressors or even lowered himself from his high

horse and listened to Kwame Nkrumah's sound advice (which was what worked),

the UGCC would have been intact and maybe there would not have been Nkrumah

as the leader of Ghana and African Liberation.

Oh, I am sorry, I meant Ghana. We all know that African Liberation was never

part of the objectives of imperialist puppets like your great-uncle and it

is clear from your writings that you are just like him. For J. B. Danquah to

claim that South Africa in the 1950s, was a free country on the African

continent when at that time, his own black people were enslaved by the

minority whites in that country, shows how deeply neo-colonial and an

imperialist puppet he was, clearly pathetically, western!

You can try as desperate as you can to soil Nkrumah's name and his

achievements but you can never change the history of the Liberation of

Africa and the people that matter in that struggle. Shame that your

so-called doyen did not really show. Kwame Nkrumah was the clear leader and

J. B. Danquah, if anything, was as confused just as you are right now. No

doubt nobody voted for him in Ghana to get into parliament. But you would

not be seen dead writing about that; would you? Ghanaians were not as

confused as him and you can bet your last pesewa that they are still not.

Your problem is not Kwame Nkrumah and his family; your problem is your own

great-uncle, J. B. Danquah. It was he who lost the plot. Your inferiority

complex is his making. No amount of reaction formation on your part will

change that. Leave Gamel Nkrumah alone!
