  We must revisit the Nkrumahist agenda of continental unity, self-reliance and exploitation of the continent's resources by ourselves for the benefit of all our people.
  
  The fragmentation of our continent through internecine wars is playing into the hands of those foreign interests raping our continent.

  sankofa what? we were only slaves period. sankofa ashanti to ramble about with gold or the dagombas or my gomoas who could not feature a single song at a welfare competition. a country must have a concensus. wherever a swiss is, he or she is thinking of how to make or open avenues to make money for his or her country. sankofa is where there is a previous heritage of common interest. there has never been and there shall never be one. our masters are using it as a secret weapon. the day the black realises that he has a heritage to defend it might lead to world war 3. we can even defend our color, and see how many africans appreciate their dark colour.

  What the hell are you going back to fetch? Primitive and/or false glory? It is such a shame that when you "people" become slightly educated, you equally become myopic and egocentric. You never view Ghana as a multicultural and highly progressive country. You only see Ghana in an Akan prism, and that is where you all fail, falter and will continue to perish woefully!
  
  Do you people even recognize that so many people also have symbols, and actually when you open up a font catalog in the symbols section, there are millions of symbols which are not even ascribed to any culture, just there for any and everyone to use. You people steal stuff and tuck it under your armpits like God actually planted it in your heads. I am sure many other cultures in Ghana have their own symbols too, but what ever pleasures they derive, nobody flaunts like an Akan "on heat" - why this perpetual ejaculation?
  
  For me to HELL with Sankofa, Adinkra this and that, Kente myth, the meaningless and overused Akwabaa.
  
  Yes you people make Akan stink, and not all Akans appreciate this self-aggrandizing village boys turned intellectuals. Please repent and find something lucrative to do for GHANA (as a multicultural and beautiful country).

  What is your point?
  
  Sankofa simply means we must learn from the wisdom of our forebears. If you believe in multiculturalism, why can you not accept Akan culture alongside the many others in our blessed land?

  The current cpp is not run by Kwame nkrumah but by different people who don't understand politics, its the vision of the leader that makes the difference not the political parties.
