ODKN was millennial ahead in STEMICs. He was a more than an Economist, a theologian and a politician.

9ja's Dr. Awolowo's spirit will attest to Osagefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah's awesome STEMIC leadership QUALITIES.

Kwateng, your cantankerous and obstreperous gossiping, here on ghanaweb, "Certainly a new wind is blowing all over Africa. The spirit of Kwame Nkrumah is awakened". Really? I don't see it. And even if it happens, the Togolese Trokosi Ideological leaning NDC would be the affected. The irresponsible jingoism inherent in this boring 'comparative essay', maliciously designed to pitch Nkrumah against Danquah- Busia( now Nana Addo Danquah-Bawumia) is just a wasteful venture. The late prof Mills, a product of the defunct Nkrumah ideological institute used a whooping sum of 20 million new Ghana cedis of the taxpayer , a year round, for the centenary celebration of the mortal remains of Nkrumah, amidst series of lectures across the nation and even declare Nkrumah's birth day as a national holiday, but it did not gain currency since politics of today has got nothing to do with Afrocentricity. Eliminate corruption and any economic model will work perfectly right to the betterment of lives elsewhere on this planet earth, especially in Ghana where natural resources of any kind is in abundance. What you probably have to research well into, which would worth your time wasting ,is to try and find out why, after several years of disturbing our ears with Nkrumah was the greatest nonsense, the people always greet and honor Nkrumah with less than 1% vote anytime we go to the pools. Hey! Are you done with that series; the "stop mourning the ghost of a dead empire"? Your Kookoase Aduman folks missed that series. I bet they would offer your severed square-head as a token to the Kookoase kingdom to accompany king Kwaku Dua to his grave when he dies.

I bet my bottom dollar that this in-your-face bold contrarian analysis of Nkrumah's Works to what Professor Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr. has been for years denying the late President would prick the wounds of the Professor.

Do I hear his heavy breath of pyrrhic blaze gathering momentum already? Well, we would be calmly watching, waiting to read what comes next. The battle of the devout apostles of the diametrically opposite poles of Ghana's Political past seem to be up in arms to the hilt.

How productive is this contest to the Youths of the Nation?

Dankwa was a C.I.A agent and so what? After Nkrumah's autocratic rule, all our constitutions have vindicated the UP tradition, by calling on Ghanaians to overthrow oppressors rule. Uniting to overthrow the oppressor includes soliciting the CIA, KGB, M5, M6, BNI, SKK, FC and what have you. Did you expect Dankwa to clap for Nkrumah? Then wait. When Nkrumah resurrects and reincarnate his autocracy, we shall ask you to speak against it. And then if he puts in jail with the resurrected PDA ,we shall come to Nsawam and tell you to clap for him. If, and I say if, Dankwa was a CIA agent I, JC, do not see anything wrong with it. It is only you 'gaping sycophants' who will condemn any collaboration with any agency to overthrow a dictator. African leaders only used the so-called liberation movements to steal the resources of their people to make themselves rich and powerful, otherwise why should Nkrumah claim to be the only wisest man in the Gold Coast or Ghana to perpetuate his stay in office.

If it was justified that all Dictators were to be overthrown, the CIA should have started with their allies in the Oil rich Gulf countries, like Saudi Arabia and Jordan, and not left Houphouet, Eyadema, Lee Kuan Yu, and others intact.

You have exposed your shallow understanding of the political dynamics that were at play leading to Nkrumah's overthrow. You might have overlooked the obvious for purely subjective, biased reasons.

Why not talk about the vicious, devilish and brutal assignation attempts on Nkrumah by the UP/NLM, right from the very beginning of his Premiership? Why don't you see that violence as a possible reason for Nkrumah's Dictatorship and high-handedness?

You cannot cover your own unwarranted evils against someone and shout to claim victimization by that person reacting to protect him/herself.

Shame on you! At the minimal acceptance of the realities of those days, one could say that the Opposition erred by resorting to Violence to eliminate Nkrumah, and Nkrumah erred by responding excessively.

So, quit this holier-than-thou demonization of Nkrumah and tell the truth. Even if you were the child or any relative of any of these past leaders of our Nation, you must, at some point, admit the obvious indestructible truth, and boldly conceive the respective errors on both sides of our Political polarity and move on. The rewriting of our History to sanitize the evils associated with it does not help our young to learn to govern better.

Nkrumah is loved by Akans, Gas, ewes, Frafras, Dagombas, you name it. But it seems the only people who like JB Danquah are Akyem people. I havent heard any others praise Danquah.

When Frimpong Ansah of the Bank of Ghana informed Nkrumah that Ghana's foreign currency reserve stood at five hundred thousand pounds at one point, Nkrumah did not believe him. Ghana was essentially bankrupt because of his policies. The country had two hundred and fifty million pounds when he came to power. I will not call such a leader great. Kwarteng, in your world, Nkrumah walks on water. But to many of us, he was an egotistical dictator who needed to be kicked out to Guinea. We are glad it happened and his kind will never rule the country again. You can never change how we feel about the dude. It is that simple, buddy.

Kwadwo, the fact is, the money went into vital investments such as human capital(or have you forgetting about free education and its accompanied infrastructures?) not to mention investments in agriculture, industry and the services sector such as airlines and shipping line etc. within that short period. The problem was we did not take good care of them because of our stupidity beyond imagination. Have you asked yourself how many millions of dollars UAE fetches from airlines and Malaysia accrues from shipping line?.

I would plainly tell you that the only problem with Nkrumah now and then, is that his enemies at home cannot reason beyond their stomach because they could not in second foresee what they could benefit from Nkrumah's ideas and actions and his enemies outside having foresee the true end of his dreams and actions developed hatred of satanic levels to color anything Nkrumah did.

Well done Francis you have in you the stature of an intellectual giant which overwhelms and make insignificant what your detractors throw at you.

There are only few who can elucidate the stature of the great Nkrumah like you have done.It should take an intellectual might to achieve your heights.

The truth of the matter is that if you want to see the force of human genius read the work of Nkrumah but if you want to see the insignificance of human learning then read what his enemies say in their comments on him.

Well done again Francis.

Brother, back to Morgan Heritage, are you referring to the reggae group? Please do let me know. I love reggae just as I love Kwame Nkrumah.

Welcome back, my good brother.I am just so glad. I have developed a terrible cold myself these past three days. I have not been regular on Ghanaweb these past three days because I have been under heavy medication. I am finding it difficult to breath. Catarrh is a killer for me.

I got up to use the bathroom and my brother who enjoys your comments told me you have suddenly appeared on Ghanaweb again.

My regards to all. I am going back to bed now. I have missed a few important calls these past three days.

Take care.
