My heart breaks whenever I read such articles. I have lived in a foreign land for 33 freaky years as a second class citizen and would continue to do the same even in my home country due to ineffective and naive policies, which favour foreigners.We have been ignorant for far too long. when will the awareness ever get home?

NOT UNTIL WE CONTINUE TO HOLD OUR LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR STEWARDSHIP, OUR RULERS WILL FOREVER THROW AWAY OUR RESOURCES LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW FOR THE COMING GENERATION. THESE CHINESE AND OTHER NATIONALS DO CHEAT AND DISRESPECT US BECAUSE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, OUR LEADERS SELL OUR RIGHT. OUR LEADERS FIND IT REASONABLE TO RECEIVE GOLD WATCHES FROM THE KOREAS AS GIFT WHEN THEY ARE SIGNING GOVT CONTRACTS WITH KOREA.DO SUCH LEADERSHIP HAVE THE BRAIN OF A MONKEY. MY PRAYERS IS THAT FELLOW GHANIANS WILL LISTEN TO THE WISE COUNSEL OF MY LEARNED FRIEND Dr Adufutse

Language and cuture here in China is a different ballgame. You need to stay in China before you can properly cogitate their language mannerisms. So for the spokesman to say they have to use simple language for their workmen then am not surprised. Because this is typical even for we those here who are highly educated to try to communicate with them. Its no big deal. ALso I wonder what this writer is up to when he describes the salary range of 35-45 USD as too small. If it is small why dont the workers walk away. Are they forced to do that work? So if that money is small, and we all expect everyone to reject that job, is it not of little wonder that anyone who accepts to do that must be a "donkey"? And what language do donkeys understand? I guess this writer is just venting his spleen on the wrong cause. I sense he has been discriminated upon wherever he is and is just looking for loose ends to degas. You got it all wrong. I will end with this chinese proverb to you ????????????

I have been challenged by Kwarten Francis to explain line by line what Dr. Kwame Botwe-Asamoah said in his three-part series that confirms our claim, even remotely, that Nkrumah was a communist that cunningly used the UGCC platform as a cover to work against the group from within, and in the end stabbed them from behind to take power. The following excerpts are only from Dr. Asamoah's Three-part series entitled, Kwame Nkrumah: The ONE and ONLY Founding Father of Ghana -2014 Independence Day Special..
UGCC MISTAKENLY HIRED A PAN-AFRICAN COMMUNIST
"The fact is Nkrumah initially was reluctant to accept the offer as he perceived the UGCC members to be “bourgeois reactionaries” enamored in capitalist ideology and philosophy." "Secondly, he, as the General-Secretary of West African National Secretariat, as well as Chairman of “The Circle,” was at the time busy working on a West African National Conference towards a Union of West African Socialist Republics, slated to be held in Lagos in October 1948."
CONSPIRACY HATCHED IN LONDON TO SABOTAGE UGCC
"Nonetheless, after meeting with his comrades in the West African National Secretariat, it was decided that Nkrumah should accept the offer and return to operationalize the 1945 Manchester Pan-African Congress resolutions. Nkrumah assured them that he would not compromise with the reactionaries and reformists in the UGCC (Smertin)"
UGCC SENSED A DANGER (THEY HAVE PATAKU (Wolf) IN THEIR MIDST)
"They (UGCC) brought many charges against Nkrumah based on differences in vision, ideology, philosophy and strategy. One was the word “Comrade” in one of Nkrumah’s letters Obetsebi Lamptey and William Ofori Attah had confiscated from Nkrumah’s office in Saltpond. They quizzed him about the word comrade, since they found it to be synonymous with Communism. Second. The Working Committee accused Nkrumah of acting outside his authority…" "They blamed Ako Adjei for his role in recommending Nkrumah to the group. Dr. J. B. Danquah wept saying that he would not have supported the recommendation by Ako Adjei, had he (Danquah) known of Nkrumah’s ideological persuasion."
A SECRET NETWORK IN THE NAME OF UGCC TO STAB IT FROM BEHIND
"The (UGCC) Working Committee accused Nkrumah of establishing a Youth Study Group at Osu in Accra with Komla Gbedemah as its Chairman. This would later embody a nationalist youth movement with the Ashanti Youth Association and the Ghana Youth Association of Sekondi, and become known as the Committee on Youth Organization (CYO).The CYO, Nkrumah explained to the Working Committee, was to serve as the youth wing of the UGCC, yet they still objected to its formation. They found the CYO’s manifesto, “Self-Government Now” a threat to the program of the UGCC, “Self-Government within the shortest possible time.”… All the while, Nkrumah and his Comrades were working on turning the CYO into a political party." And that was the origin of the CPP party.

Strong partisanship started in Ghana when Kwame Nkrumah divided the nation into patriots and traitors. Patriots were those who accepted that he should be president for life, practice one party state and communism and indulge in leftist anti-Western propaganda using the small country's meager resources to challenge centuries' old, well-established Western countries. They even accepted that he should act as savior of the Blackman around the world, while tyrannizing his own Black people at home because they had alternative views for development of their country.
Those who wanted him to concentrate more on basic needs of the young nation and tone down his rhetoric against the powerful were called traitors, reactionaries, and agents of imperialism that should be liquidated and imprisoned dead or alive. Could you believe that the opposition members he was tyrannizing were the very people who started the struggle for our independence? They employed Nkrumah and paid for his ticket from the UK to come and work as general secretary of the group, saving him from the tyranny of unemployment in London. The independence struggle vanguards were senior civil servants in the Gold Coast. And as their struggle was gaining momentum and scope of their activities widening, they needed someone to work full-time for the group; free from official work constrains to further spread message of the struggle.
Under their responsibility and protection, Nkrumah used the platform to become public face of the group and his popularity soared. This was because; many of the people in those days could not differentiate between the spokesperson and the leaders, and saw him as the person or the only person that was fighting for our independence. Subsequently, when he heard from the Governor General's female secretary, who was later sacked, that the British were preparing to grant us independence, he increasingly used needless militant tactics to provoke the Whiteman, when it was clear that the wind of change was blowing, and also embarrass his employers in order to outfox them. He then used the opportunity to break away from the group, forming his own party and slapping them from behind to take power.
This explains the strong partisanship in the country and why Nkrumah didn't want the Liberation Vanguards to ever come to power in his life time. Maybe, he was afraid of his own ghost or because of his communist tendencies. Unfortunately, and despite all these plain facts, his supporters still want us to believe that he initiated, spearheaded and single handedly fought for our independence, and name every national project after him as if we were in a kingdom.
