They just don't want to hear the truth. Nkrumah had his personal KGB trained security detail in addition to his Republi can guards whose duty was to protect the " show boy " . For the opposition which had been dessimated with PDA to go near him to cause harm him is preposterouse to say the least . His own ministers were charged and convicted.

Nkrumah would have been killed if the grenade was thrown. It was in the flower that was why the flower girl died. It exploded just before Nkrumah accepted it. The CPP planted the bomb!

There is no doubt about it President Nkrumah's own party members were behind the assassination attempt.

You ashantes are the reason Ghana is not developed, you terrorized the British and extended the same unbalanced karmic mental deficit toward Nkrumah's administration and legacy.

Traditive Gold Coast history has it that Stampeding ashantes marauded the South purportedly and solely to steal imported Gin/Schnapps from our coastal merchants. Those antisocial ashante behavior then and now has been a major hindrance to development and continues to be. The only ashante moral system has always been sustained lying and thievery, here is a perfect example of one of your genotypical golden lies "The Ashanti Empire was one of a series of kingdoms along the coast including Dahomey, Benin, and Oyo." When and where exactly was there ever! an ashante coast? has it been conjured to earth yet by the illusion or lie and carry network?

Danquah was lucky, because even by your corrupt standards, "The insane cannot be executed by the absence of responsible intent." We discerning Ghanaians have had to put up with the maleficent abject and hardcore inbred posthumous Nkrumah haters.

Why remind us about an event that led Ghana to the crisis of today? Whether UP or CPP, those individuals who eventually overthrew Kwame Nkrumah are responsible for our sufferings today. The coup leaders should point at just one personal gain of Osagyefo.

Greedy people!

The name NPP meaning New Patriotic Party suggests active involvement of UP because the 'new' implies that they were the old unpatriots.

Nkrumah started the suffering of Ghana. Go and research about the economic condition in 1963-66

Nkrumah was very ordinary after spending all the money left to him by the colonial masters. Ghana started running budget deficits in 1963, something that has never happen before in our history. Nkrumah started the destruction of our economy and the history is there for anybody who cares to know.

Prior to Ghana's independence, the budget for Ghana was seen through the eyes and programs of our colonial masters. The national production output was built on the backs of the poor Ghanaians who provided labor while our land and mineral resources provided the raw materials. The expenditure of the nation was minimal because the British care-taker government did not and could not have a budget bigger than what the budget could be for the welfare of the entire Ghanaian population.
After independence, the budget expenditures (expenditures balanced against revenues) were derived from the ideals of the government at the time and the freed citizens who had forgotten how to give a hundred percent effort at work to the government of their own kind as they did for and under their colonial master.
Yes I know some of you tribal zealots without an ounce of fairness in your bodies would blame everyone while you ignore the fact that every civilized democratic Western nation has deficit spending far more than Nkrumah ever did. The fact is Nkrumah has been out of the Ghana picture for over 40 years and Ghana has not seen a day, week or year where your kind of leaders have not engaged in deficit spending. I guess if it is a leadership from your tribe or political party laced with tribal bigots it is good governance. What a sorry excuse for a thinking Ghanaian.

If Ghanaians worked hard for the colonial masters and stopped working hard when we got independence, then who do you blame? Nkrumah made the people to believe the central government was a father christmas.

Nkrumah created many agencies like workers brigade, PWD etc where you will see 100 people in the workers brigade farms working on 10 acre farms where you only need 10 people. The same went on at many government agencies where a work that should be done by one person were being done by four or more people and you dumbass cannot realise why productivity was low and budget deficit came about? The colonial masters cut their coat according to the size of Ghana but Nkrumah wanted Ghana to wear a size 48 coat when we should have worn a size 32.

Nkrumah set up another court, which sentenced Ako Adjei, Coffie Crabbe, T. Adamafio to death by hanging. So if Yaw Manu and Otchere's involvement make the UP bomb throwers, then the CPP by logic are also bomb throwers.

Man Fathers 9 Kids With Daughter, Pleads For Forgiveness
Agbofa Yao Hateka, the 47-year-old fetish priest who fathered nine kids with daughter has pleaded with a Sogakope circuit court to forgive him his sins as he would not do it again.
He has so far made two appearances in the Sogakokpe Circuit Court for having nine children with his daughter, four of whom were dead.
Agbofa Yao Hateka was in the Sogakope court on 12th and 13th July charged with incest. According to the prosecutor, inspector Emmanuel Atsor, the case was reported to the Dabala Police by a certain Torgbey Sekpetey II, chief of Ashagborkope, who is also a tax collector. The complainant told the police on June 7th 2012 that the accused was married to his biological daughter, Baby Hateka with whom he has nine kids. Yao Hateka allegedly impregnated Baby and subsequently had eight other children with her. Out of the lot, there were now five kids aged 14, 12, 3, 2 and a month-and-a-half old. During the interrogation however, Baby Hateka told the police she had eight other children with her father out of which three died, contradicting the accused person’s narration that he had only a two year old baby with his daughter.
The accused would not allow anybody to intervene as he allegedly threatened people with death if they meddled in his sexual relationship with his daughter. He allegedly threatened to invoke the spirit of his gods to deal with meddlers. The accused told the court that he was both a farmer and a fisherman, although the prosecution witness claimed he was unemployed. Before his arrest, the accused told the police that his daughter suffered from sickle cell anaemia, and had come to stay with him from a cocoa-growing area. Torgbey Sekpetey II had earlier fined the accused a fowl so his daughter could be cleansed before reporting the matter to the police. The case has been adjourned to 20th July 2012 for judgement.**

July 5, 2012 8:42:51 AM Drama In Court As Carpenter Gets 10 Years For Incest
Date: 27-Jan-2012
A 40-year-old welder; Emmanuel Kwesi Yevu, who is accused of defiling his 13-year-old daughter blamed his action on “juju,” (magic) when he made his second appearance before a Circuit Court in Accra.
Yevu told the court that somebody had cast a spell on him because he was getting more customers in his carpentry business.
When the court asked why he defiled his daughter, Yevu said: “My Lord the thing came on me in a spiritual form. I sometimes dream that I am sleeping with my late wife. I took in some alcohol on the day in question before going to bed. I detected that my daughter had placed her legs on mine and I mistook her to be that of my late wife and I defiled her.”
This, according to Yevu, had had happened on two occasions. Yevu, who is charged with defilement and incest pleaded guilty. But just as the court was about to hand down Yevu’s sentence, his brother raised his hands saying he had sometime to say.
Yevu’s brother told the court that Yevu had confided in him that somebody had cast a spell on him and blamed his action on “juju.”
The court presided over by Mrs Justice Georgina Mensah-Datsa however sentenced Yevu to 10 years on each of the charges. The sentences would however run concurrently.
The court told Yevu that it only had power to deal with the charges brought against him adding: “You can pursue the juju case at the juju court.” Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sarah Acquah told the court that the complainant was the victim’s uncle.
Yevu is the father of the victim. Since the death of the victim’s mother, she had been living with the father at Omanjor in Accra. ASP Acquah said during October 2011, the victim was sleeping when Yevu forced her and had sex with her on two occasions.
After the acts, the victim informed her father that she had not menstruated for the past three months.
ASP Acquah said Yevu knowing very well that the victim was pregnant, gave the victim medicine to swallow and insert some of the medicine into her vagina.
Soon after inserting the medicine, the victim began to complain of abdominal pains and she was rushed to the hospital and a report was made to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit at the Odorkor Police station.
The victim was issued with a medical form while her father was arrested by the Police and during interrogation he admitted the offence.

Felix Torgbor, the 45-year-old mason who fathered a child with his own daughter.
A 45 year old mason has been arrested in Accra for forcibly having an affair with his daughter and subsequently, having a baby with her.
“You are very stupid! Which is better? Sleeping with my daughter or running after other women who could infect me with strange diseases which I could also pass on to you?”
These are the shocking words of Felix Torgbor, a 45-year-old mason from La, who was caught by his wife having sex with his 19-year-old daughter.
Apparently, Torgbor began having sex with his daughter when she was only 16 years old; broke her virginity and subsequently had a child with her. He is now in the grips of the Odorkor Police in Accra.
Torgbor’s three-year-old sexual affair finally came to an end when his wife caught him red-handed making love to his daughter in an uncompleted building on the dawn of Saturday August 15, at Russia, a suburb of Accra.
Salamatu, Torgbor’s wife, told DAILY GUIDE that she wakes up very early in the morning, goes to work and returns at 7:00pm.
On that fateful day, she returned from visiting her sister at about 10:00pm on Friday night. She called her husband to join her watch an African movie shown on TV, but he declined and kept moving up and down.
She then began wondering what was making her husband so jittery.
According to her, the TV station closed down around 12:00 midnight, so she went to bed.
At about 12:45am, she woke up to realize that her husband and daughter were not in bed so she went out in search of them.
Salamatu indicated that her husband is putting up a building which is just a distance from the family house where they live, so she had a strong urge to go there to search for them.
When she got there, she saw that her step-daughter had laid a piece of cloth on the floor of one of the rooms and she saw a man lying on top of her.
She yelled and held unto the man only to realize it was her husband who was moaning and groaning on top of his own daughter.
Salamatu said she could not believe that this abominable act was going on right under her nose for the past three years.
When she demanded answers from her husband, he called her a stupid woman.
“You are very stupid! Which is better? Sleeping with my daughter or running after other women who could infect me with strange diseases which I could also pass on to you?” he asked, threatening to beat her up if she shouted.
Salamatu says she raised an alarm, drawing people to the scene.
Speaking to DAILY GUIDE, District Crime Officer (DCO), DSP Bafour Appenteng said the affair between father and daughter started somewhere in 2006 when she was dressing after bathing.
Narrating the sequence of events, the DCO said it started when the grandmother of the victim observed that her pubic hair had not been shaved. She questioned the teenager who replied that she was scared the razor blade might harm her.
Her grandmother, thereafter, sent her to buy a razor blade so she could shave the hair off, but by the time she got back, her grandmother was asleep.
On reaching home, her father, who was then eavesdropping on the conversation, asked what she was going to use the razor blade for.
She explained what the grandmother had said.
Torgbor then insisted on shaving his daughter’s pubic hair, in spite of her resistance.
According to the victim, her father laid her on his matrimonial bed and shaved her pubic hair after which he forcibly had sexual intercourse with her.
No amount of pleading could stop Torgbor from carrying out his intentions, and he had sex with her on the blind side of his wife, Salamatu Piaga.
The girl emerged from the room in tears and because her legs were wobbling, her aunties, who lived in the same compound house, asked what was wrong and she revealed to them that her father had just had sex with her.
According to the police, the aunties explained that at the time of the incident, the family was bereaved and so they decided to meet on the matter after the burial of their kin but later forgot all about it, and even though Salamatu was informed about the incident, she chose not to pursue it.
When she quizzed her husband about the incident, he got mad and subjected the child to severe beatings, saying that she wanted to disgrace him.
Later, when the girl turned 17, she got pregnant and left to stay with her biological mother at Osu because her father was furious, claiming his daughter had a boyfriend and subjected her to severe beatings, even though she was pregnant for him at the time.
At Osu, she reported the incident to WAJU but her mother, who did not believe her claims, abandoned the case after receiving a police medical form.
When the teenager gave birth in April last year, her stepmother, Salamatu, went for her from the Ridge Hospital where she delivered a baby girl and brought her back to her father’s house with the intention of caring for her and the baby.
The Crime Officer said when the baby was nine months old, Torgbor, who was eager to re-ignite his sexual relationship with his biological daughter, forced her to stop breast-feeding the baby, which she did.
They continued with the affair until the dawn of Saturday August 15, 2009 when Salamatu grabbed the two seriously making love.
Subsequently, Salamatu packed her belongings out of the house but did not report the matter to the police until her husband was arrested on August 18, 2009, by the Odorkor police who invited her to write her statement.
The victim, who was cuddling her daughter when she spoke to DAILY GUIDE on Thursday, confirmed that the baby, an exact replica of Torgbor, was indeed her father’s daughter.
She told DAILYGUIDE she wishes her father would be kept in jail forever.

Ho, May 13, GNA - Daniel Gadzeti, a carpenter, was sentenced to five years imprisonment by a Ho circuit court on Tuesday for being in an incestuous relationship with his 19-year-old daughter Mabel Gadzeti, a seamstress apprentice.
Mr Frank Owusu Afriyie, the presiding judge, deferred sentence on Mabel Gadzeti until after medical tests for pregnancy and sex related diseases.
Mr Afriyie described the conduct of Gadzeti, a father of four, as "very irresponsible". Deputy Superintendent of Police Kwadwo Nkansah told the court that Gadzeti, who was staying at Nkonya-Ntumda, invited his daughter who was staying with her mother at Nkonya-Tayi to come over and stay with him. He said Gadzeti the n started having sexual intercourse with his daughter. Mr Nkansah said a friend of Gadzeti once visited him and saw him (Gadzeti) and his (Gadzeti's) daughter bathing together and asked him if he was having sexual relationship with her. He said Gadzeti took offence and reported the matter to the chief of Nkonya-Ntumda who summoned the friend before the traditional court which fined him to compensate Gadzeti because the friend had no evidence to support his case. About a year later Gadzeti confessed his incestuous relationship to his uncle, a catechist, and expressed his desire to perform customary rites to marry her and make her his second wife in addition to her mother.
He said Gadzeti's uncle informed the chief of the town and Gadzeti's wife and daughter were summoned before the chief and elders of the town. A fine was imposed on Gadzeti and his daughter which they paid. He said a few days later, information about their relationship got to the police leading to their arrest.Source:

Man Jailed For Impregnating Daughter
An Accra High Court has sentenced Mr Anthony Bleworda to five (5) years imprisonment for having sex with her daughter since she was 16 years old and fathering with her five children, three of whom have since died. Mr Bleworda admitted that he had a strong urge to sleep with his own 16-year-old daughter the first day he saw her after several year’s sojourn abroad.
The daughter, identified as Matilda Bleworda, who is now in her mid twenties, is reported to have later developed mental health problems. Speaking to Peace FM and the Domestic Violence And Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU), Matilda disclosed that she willingly gave in to his father’s sexual advances the first day she saw him because her father enticed her with lots of money, but the subsequent encounters were all against her will. An earlier medical report had revealed that Matilda had indeed developed mental problems. She however stressed to Peace FM in an interview that she has now been completely cured.
She added that she did not know in the beginning that Mr. Bleworda was her real father. She believed instead that her grandfather whom she had known since her infancy was. According to her she asked the father to stop sleeping with her but he refused, claiming she was married to him by virtue of their having children together.
In an interview with Peacefmonline, the spokesperson for DOVVSU, Inspector Irene Oppong confirmed that Mr Bleworda has been sentenced for 5 years imprisonment. In answer to querries about why the seemingly minimal nature of the punishment, Inspector Oppong said the court took into account the girl’s admission that she was 16 years old when her father first slept with her and also that she consented to the act for which reason he couldn’t be charged with rape.
She explained that the stipulated sentencing range for incest for which Mr. Bleworda was found guilty is between 3 to 25 years. She explained that it took the court this long to dispose of the case because the man was having health issues midway into his prosecution. Peace FM managed to secure a major scoop and broke the scandal to a horrified country in September of last year.

- tens of school children who had lined the route of Nkrumah to welcome him also perished with the bombs

- Nkrumah was at the time a hot international property; this is what the World got to know through various World News agencies

Date: 9 September, 1962

In 1949 Kwame Nkrumah formed the Convention People's party (CPP). After his 'positive action' campaign created disturbances in 1950, Nkrumah was jailed, but when the CPP swept the 1951 elections, he was freed to form a government, and he led the colony to independence as Ghana in 1957.

A firm believer in African liberation, Nkrumah pursued a radical pan-African policy, playing a key role in the formation of the Organization of African Unity in 1963. As head of government, he was less successful however, and as time passed he was accused of forming a dictatorship. In 1964 he formed a one-party state, with himself as president for life.

On 9 September 1962 a little girl was killed and several people were injured when a bomb blast exploded in Kwame Nkrumah's official residence, in the capital city, Accra, Ghana. At the time of the attack, Nkrumah's official residence, Flagstaff House, was filled with close to 2000 guests who were celebrating Kwame Nkrumah's escape from a first assassination attempt in October. The attempt was blamed on a new anti-Nkrumah organisation, the Kumasi Command, as a result, many militants throughout the country were arrested in order to calm down the growing opposition against Kwame Nkrumah's government, which had rejected multiparty rule in favour of one party rule and "scientific socialism".

Nkrumah was later overthrown by the military in 1966, with the help of western backing, he spent his last years in exile, dying in Bucharest, Romania, on 27 April 1972.

Foolishness at the highest order. The only security service people around Nkrumah at that time were the specially screened Republican guard with cpp and young pioneer background. Nowhere in the commission that investigated this bombing came up with any evidence linking the security forces as being involved.

The flagstaff bombing was done by an Ewe whose motive was just a personal hate against Nkrumah for rigging the plebiscite that made Ewes part of Ghana and was not an opposition expedition.

I recall also, that in 1958, barely a year into independence, there was exposed conspiracy to stage a coup to topple the CPP government and assassinate Kwame Nkrumah. Two leading members of the opposition party, R. R. Amponsah and M. K. Apaloo, were named by a Commission of Enquiry chaired by Nana Sir Tsibu Darku (OBE), who had once served on the Executive Council of the colonial government.

That was the ugly genesis of coups in this country –1958. The question that keeps repeating itself is: for what purpose was that coup? Was it in the national interest? Or in the interest of disappointed and disgruntled politicians and their foreign manipulators who regarded Kwame Nkrumah as a mortal threat to their economic interests not only in Ghana but also throughout Africa? At that time what had Nkrumah done wrong to warrant that conspiracy to stage a coup against him and assassinate him?

He had seized the political initiative to achieve independence. That was his sin.

Then note this. In August 1962, another attempt was made to blow up Kwame Nkrumah at Kulungugu on his return from Tenkudugu after a meeting with President Yameogo of Upper Volta, now Burkina Faso. Again in September 1962 a grenade exploded near the grounds of Flagstaff House, the office and residence of President Kwame Nkrumah. That was fascist terrorism because Nkrumah was nowhere near.

Asante kingdom have a lot of money and Gold and other natural resources but many Asante people are living in abject poverty why should it happen in that way with money and resources but still poor? the reason been that since 1902 up to date the Asante people never had a good leader to lead them, all of them are selfish and greedy cum politics that is why Asante region is in the ditch like that.Look at the Adansi where they extract the gold is like ghetto, from New Edubiase, Obuasi, Adansi Akrokerri, Fomena, DOmpoase etc all these towns are like ghetto's our kings are so corrupt from their hair to their toes all what you can see is corruption.

Compare and contrast Johannesburg of South Africa and Obuasi and judge for yourself. Am incline to believe that BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT HUMAN IS TRUE, our live is like a VULTURE, we always prefer rotten things to the real ones that is how VULTURES look like the same thing apply to us. And the most painful thing is that the AGA scholarship allotted for the Adansi's they never give to the real Adansi's, they only give to the aliens. How can an alien who did not hail from Adansi benefit AGA scholarship which is allotted for the those who comes from the Adansi Area? My Adansi people the time has come, let come together to demand an accountability from our kings including OSEI TUTU II.

NAKED will be back.

Any of these were responsible for the Kulungugu bomb

1] CPP elements who were dissatisfied with the way Nkrumah was taking the party. In 1949 when it was formed Nkrumah was the Primus Inter Pares (first among equals) with his power not being absolute. By 1961 this was not the case and the CPP was becoming a personality cult. The likes of Gbedemah had gone into exile at this time as they were representatives of the old guard and Nkrumah and the Young Turks wanted them out

2] The government of Chad was very unhappy with Nkrumah. He hosted and funded one Ibrahim Abacha, the guerilla leader who was the head of FROLINAT that waged a war against Chad's president Tombalbaye. Abacha held conferences in Accra and had his headquarters there. Some feel Tombalbaye using Upper Volta wanted Nkrumah dead.

2] Nkrumah had been at loggerheads with Togo since it go its independence. He had proposed a merger of the 2 countries which President Olympio has dismissed as Black Imperialism. Since then Togolese exiles fleeing Olympio lived in Ghana and Ghanaian exiles fleeing Olympio lived in Togo. Olympio felt Nkrumah was behind plots to kill or overthrow him and so he decided to hit back. When Olympio was overthrown in 1963 and killed French and Nigerian intelligence pointed a finger at Nkrumah

3] Ivory Coast also had very serious issues. Nkrumah backed the Mate me Ho forces in Ivory Coast. The Sanwi people of Saniquelle wanted a separate country and they waged their campaign from Accra. There was the rumour in intelligence circles that Ivory Coast wanted to sort out the problem by killing Nkrumah.

Additionally,
The activities of anti-Ahidjo Cameroonians in Ghana made Nkrumah enemies in governing party of Cameroon as well. In fact, as was shown by the training camp deep in the forest of Obenemase in the Ashanti Region after February 1966, forces opposed to several governments of newly independent African countries, including Nigeria, were being trained in Ghana with the aim of todestabilising those countries.

It has been the CPP's propaganda to justify the insidious PDA, which was passed under a crtificate of urgency, barely a year after independence. The parlous condition of the CPP says a lot about their hero and his tactics and ultimatell, his legacy!

Assumptions which become fact as a result of their likelihood is not something accepted in a court of law for goods reason. Whilst no one will argue the cpp guys had access to Nkrumah,we know from history outsiders who dont have access can always pay one or two insiders to act on their behalf like agents. We dont blame the agents but the principals.

If you become so stupid and allow someone to bribe you to kill your father, who do you blame? Yourself or the one who bribe you? We should let commonsense sort things out and stop dwelling on past heresy or passed on oral history which makes no sense.

If those around Nkrumah allowed themselves to be influenced by outsiders, that should tell you that they do not like him. Period.

Truth is like cork which cannot be put under water unless something holds it down. In those days, people can be arrested and forced to confess especially the opposition. Nkrumah himself knew that people in his CPP want him dead.

You have downplayed the article without giving us your version. The questions Sarpong asked will be asked by any investigator who is keen on finding those who perpetrated that dastardly act at Kulungugu. Sarpong did not complete his JSS education but the questions he asked makes sense.

Some of you still clings in the lies that it was the opposition who nearly killed the president at Kulungugu without telling us who prepared the flower with the bomb and who made the presentation. The little girl cannot present the bomb herself and there is no way the opposition gave the flower to her. These are commonsensical question that should be answered but I doubt.

I really hope and pray that after all these years all the lies and the propaganda that Nkrumah and his ilk spun around UP and Bafuor Osei Akoto will come to light. Why are such people still clinging to these lies? When will strong and courageous men like Bafuor ever be exonerated for standing up to a dictator? I am even aware that men like Gbedemah, who helped Nkrumah to become president eventually had to flee for their lives from him. Bafuor and others were
wrongfully detained and when Danquah 'dared' to defend them, he was incarcerated as well and died in prison.
The history books have been re-written to demonize people like Bafuor who at least refused to be cowed by people like Nkrumah and lies about Kulunkugu has been laid at his door. Every revolution spills blood, even Mandela's own and yet Mandela has been forgiven and even Rawlings but why not Bafuor Osei Akoto? Ghana, arise and face the truth, once and for all.

Absolute rubbish from someone who has no shred of evidence to support his claims.

What would a CPP member gain by assasinating Nkrumah?

The Matemoho mob had a history of violence and a motive for eliminating Nkrumah. They knew that they could not come to power so long as Nkrumah remained President.

The bouquet was not prepared by the CPP - it would have been obtained from a florist who could have co-operated with the Matemeho to conceal a bomb which could be detonated by remote control.

Rumour has it that a Chemistry lecturer at KNUST prepared the bomb.

Everything points to the Matemeho.

The CPP members who were arrested always denied they were involved. Tawiah Adamafio wrote a book to declare his innocence.
