  Kudos to an astute Nkrumaist like you.The grand old man of wisdom is just being rhetorical.His use of hyperbole and metaphor was devised to emphasize and make the point that we are lazy and this laziness is the crux of our problem.
  
  The non literal sense of making his point is not to say the country must forget the great man on his birthday but to follow his example by upholding his legacy with hard work and effective organization which decides everything.

  Do not take Akyea Mensah very serious simply because as an unemployed (unbinss) guy in Belgium, everyday is a holiday for him and thinks Ghanaian people in Ghana must enjoy same, 24/7 holidays.

  " His Excellency, the Akonfem President John Mahama is currently busy selling Ghana’s agriculture to the highest bidder, and ditching 60% of the of the population, including the poorest of the poor, whose livelihoods.......". What do you expect your grandchildren to behave if you can call the president Akomfem? You have really shocked me.

  Brother Kojo T,
  
  Thanks. I think I overlooked the derogatory term 'Akomfem." This is not proper.

  Hello Mr. Francis Kwarteng,
  
  When the sovereignty, the environment, economic prosperty, and the health of Ghanaians are at stake as a result of corruption and dangerous policies and laws, I do not consider it derogatory to confer Akonfem to the President!
  
  I do confirm to confer akonfem to President Mahama! Mahama must withdraw the disgraceful Plant Breeders Bill before October. My attacks are even going to be more strident if he fails to do so!
  
  Forward Ever! Backwards Never!!!

  Hello Kojo T,
  
  I am very sorry to have disappointed you. I deeply regret that. You personally know how hard I fought in the campaign to help get President Mahama elected. I feel so sad that after all the insults that I was being paid to write my own honest feelings, thinking Mahama was going to make a difference for Ghanaians, he has become such a sore disappointment!
  
  If I have disappointed you, Mahama has also disappointed me! Long before the "aknnfem scandal" became public, someone who knows I would not compromise my integrity, mailed some damning documents involving millions of dollars being "wasted" under the SADA project, with nothing to show for!
  
  What I did was to send it to reliable contacts to investigate with a warning that this could damage Mahama's Presidency. I never got a response until I made phone calls to enquire about it. It was then that I was told the documents were "rumours"! and that the matter had been thoroughly investigated and found to be unfounded!
  
  Then the scandal broke out! and to make matters worse, Mahama is now in bed with the NPP to impose the "Monsanto Law" in order to impose GMOs on Ghana's agriculture!
  
  I do not write to please anyone. I write to please the voice of my own conscience and my God. I write for the love I have for my fellow country and for my country and without fear or favour to any person and with malice or ill-will toward none!
  
  Mahama must withdraw the disgraceful Plant Breeders Bill before October. My attacks are even going to be more strident if he fails to do so! In the meantime, I formally confirm that I confer "Akonfem" President on Mahama!
  
  
  Forward Ever! Backwards Never!!!

  Of course, in a democracy, you are also entitled to the expression of your own stupid views. Was Kwame Nkrumah the only "founder" of Ghana? Was he the only one who fought for the independence of Ghana. The so-called Founder's Day is an insult to the many freedom fighters who fought for the independence of Ghana.
