Nkrumah was a tyrant who killed all political opponents in Nsawam Prison while he made himself life President without a Vice. Boye-Doe was only 15 when Nkrmah put him in prison without trial. Thousands were driven into exile and died there because of Nkrumah's excessive tyranny.

He ruled Ghana with iron fist and the whole population lived in fear. His sole ambition was to become the President of Africa and instead of developing Ghana to give us decent living standard he wasted 10 million pounds each bribing Guinea and Mali to support him in his satanic dream.

No more nkrumaism, tyranny, one-party state, Communist Peoples Paty (CPP), kankan nyame, young pioneers, killing of political opponents. So bad was Nkrumah that his own CPP men led by Tawiah Adamafio tried to finish him at Kulungugu and Ametewe tried at the Flagstaff House. Nkrumah's own son Sekou Nkrumah hates this evil CPP

Dr. Mensah,
What is the "Garbage?

Is it Dr. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe's words or our closing remarks?

And if we are "damn hypocrite", please educate us on who all of that benefits?

Thanks.

Mahmoud, Wangara and finally Lewis, dont you tire of your broken record monotonous image? At least make some effort towards forming some reasonable arguments that support your views - no matter how emotionally skewed or incorrect they may be.

Ranting on every day with the same worn out instructions from the imperialist hand-book of How to vilify Nkrumah, has outlived its usefulness and is surely ineffective by now.

Then again, you dont need to pretend to be three different persons when all you have to say is the same thing in the same language. The Holy Ghost is the only one who I have heard of who employs this strategy and I do not think you are qualified to pretend to be the Holy Ghost. Everyone can see that you are the same person. God, in His ultimate wisdom, could not possibly have made the same mistake three times in close proximity when creating man.

Politics is surely not a tea party or an endeavor for the faint-hearted. Many famous politicians - in the past as well as in the present who are respected all over the world can, if closely investigated, be found guilty of much worse instances of some of the accusations you have continued to level against Kwame Nkrumah. Even the local stooges of imperialism who overthrew the Nkrumah govt, started of famously by killing many more people during the coup d'etat, establishing a military dictatorship and imprisoning as many as six-times as many citizens - not because they were terrorists, but simply because they were members of the CPP. And you know what? Busia, Edward Akuffo-Addo and the rest of the gang who hated Nkrumah, were more than happy to work with and for this military dictatorship for several years. I wonder why you have never mentioned the much more grave crimes of that military dictatorship and that of the colonialists?

But trust me, Nkrumah stands out as a leading saint among the 'Ivy League' of historical figures. I cannot bring to mind, any other world leader throughout history, who achieved so much, in so little time, for so many people around the world without being a racist, imperialist, colonialist, an acytive promoter of slavery, a colonial free-loader and exploiter, a major human rights violator, an imperialist stooge, a war-monger, slave-owner, a promoter of genocide and an architect of one kind of holocaust or another in world history.

If you know of any, I would be most grateful if you can divulge that information with me and others on this platform.

you accuse someone of daily ranting on vilification, while doing the same thing about some events which happened 50 years ago or more. Nkrumah was a head of state, and is dead. his policies and party are not doing great anywhere in the country. Yet people are having daily arguments about the man without contributing anything to current problems, like you are doing here.

flimsy reasoning and waste of space

Frimpong Manaso,
Respectfully, you've got it twisted a bit!

We do not write to promote a political party!

We promote a Ghana-centered version that seeks to help maintain and restore the legacy of Ghana's founder.

Many people are prepared to hide facts and tear it all down. They want to deprive Ghana and the world about the potential for the Kwame Nkrumah industry headquartered in Ghana. That is what all of us must be working towards, if you case.

Also, you can't even assume you are doing more to solve "current problems" compared to us.

But, you can say what you want and disagree with what we say.

Thanks for reading, any way!

First of all thank you Francis Kwarteng, Prof Lungus, Nana Ansah and Koo Nimo.

Frimpong, are you trying to insinuate, in defence of your weak intellectual presentation that, the subject that all educated people learn in school and which is called history, is unimportant? This kind of retarded reasoning can only come out of the mind of an African whose mind has been so mutilated by the high jinks of imperialism that, he/she becomes confused cannot thereafter, feel the celebrated magnitude of the legacy of Kwame Nkrumah.

Frimpong, I implore you not to follow the likes of SAS and Sarpong in their glorious state of mental confusion where they continuously and without any remorse, sense of revulsion or recourse to the real and vital facts of history, shamelessly cut their nose to spite their face. If you do, you will, like them, end up in an uncomfortable ditch.

My friend, history is so manifest in our every day lives that it seeps down to the nature of each and every individual. The indispensable return to historical events and details serves as necessary guidance for our present and future deliberations that we cannot afford to ignore or overlook.

History is very vital in the sense that, first of all we are all at the end of the day, products of our specific history. Whatever point of socio-economic development we have arrived at is informed by certain historical events of the past. For instance, Ghanaians are visibly more intelligent, civil and congenial people than most other species of our own race on the continent of Africa, doubtlessly because of the Kwame Nkrumah experience. I cannot be so sacrilegious as to presume that God in His infinite wisdom, was biased in favour of and partial to Ghanaians by giving us those superior qualities that other Black people do not have. Our superior values as Ghanaians is simply predicated

History teaches us what we can emulate and what we should perhaps avoid. And considering that Kwame Nkrumah took us in Ghana to the highest state of development that any Black society anywhere or at any time in world history has attained, I think that it would be a wise thing for any thinking person to go back to his ways if we want to get anywhere in life.

This country still subsists on the great works that Kwame Nkrumah achieved for Ghana and Africa over 50 years ago. All the clueless mickey-mouse political parties that have assumed government after Kwame Nkrumah, have only achieved the discreditable infamy of selling in bits and pieces, the stupendous infrastructure that he laid only so as to survive in govt and pocket the small change.

The people who constantly tried to kill Kwame Nkrumah and eventually connived with foreigners to overthrow his govt because they claimed Nkrumah’s policies were bad and wicked, are the same people who today are now copying his works more than anybody else.

In fact Nkrumah’s socialist development policies which they surreptitiously borrowed without permission, are the pivot and the jewel in the crown of the NPPs minimal success in govt. The NPP even derides the equally obfuscated NDC govt of not being sufficiently capable of implementing the socialist policies of Kwame Nkrumah which has today given them a feather in their cap. Other than this, the only mark of remembrance they would have had on their resumé would be that they were a terrorist group and that Nkrumah jailed their leader.

Today, the NPP flag-bearer self-righteously claims that he is a Pan Africanist. He even proudly and loudly praises communists like Nelson Mandela and benevolent dictators like Lee Kuan Yew. Frimpong, time changes you know.

Kwame Nkrumahs weakness was that he was so far ahead of his time that, not only did he not understand why some people did not understand what he was doing but those ‘some people’ were so limited in their capacity to reason and to achieve development for Ghana and Africa that they actually thought that the man Kwame Nkrumah, was totally berserk.

And finally, yes, I agree with you that the man died over 50 years ago but he still lives in the ideas and far-reaching development schemes which he designed for for Ghana and Africa and which no other world leader has ever equalled. We have not yet even, as we speak today, caught up with the mans ideas of yester-years, to minimally understand the real value and the worth in it for Africa and the Black race. And Frimpong, mark my word, until we do, the socio-economic conditions of Ghana and the rest of the African people will continue to deteriorate into the doldrums of oblivion and insignificance.

Please my apologies for the missing last three sentences of the 5th paragraph which should read as below;

"Our apparently superior ethical values as Ghanaians today are simply and unquestionably predicated on the ideals of Nkrumaism. This outstanding Ghanaian mark of excellence, civility and achievement is evident and also applauded all over the world in vital and major international institutions by the generation of Ghanaians who, as it were, were fortunate and privileged enough to be kneaded and baked in the Nkrumaist infrastructure." Having now ungratefully and foolishly damaged that infrastructure, we are all now witnesses to emerging chaos and decline of that once celebrated superior quality and distinction of the Nkrumaist brand of the people of Ghana.

Good show Kobby.

However when you state that NOT EVEN MANDELA, implying that Mandela may have achieved some significant successes matching those of Nkrumah in his political career, I kind of find that uncomfortable to live with.

We are here trying to dismantle and diffuse the lies and untruths that some of our less fortunate brothers are spewing out to make angels out of demons. In the same way, we must take total responsibility for whatever we also say in favour of anybody that we raise high on the pedestal of history.

In this regard, I will sadly state that Mandela, in spite of his heroic role at the initial stages of the struggle to emancipate South Africa from the grips of Apartheid capitalism, his latter performance, when he became President of that country was a complete shambles.

By the time Mandela unceremoniously retired as President, the socio-economic statistics of that country as an independent country, had degenerated to conditions worse than those that existed when he took over from the apartheid capitalist govt. Having set this cosy pace for global imperialism to continue to thrive and strengthen from sucking the very blood of South Africa, the conditions in South Africa for the Black population has only continued to worsen. The recent unfortunate upheavals by the Blacks in South Africa against other 'African foreigners' who are competing with them for pennies at the lower end of the economy, whilst totally disregarding the entrenched racist thieves who stealing billions of dollars from them every day, every month, every year for the past 150 years, clearly shows how totally disoriented and cut-off from the realities of their own economy they have become. They have been politically manipulated and psychologically mutilated by the existing racist system to suffer what I call the SAS or Sarpong syndrome. That is Africans who only see and fight over the little crumbs in the picture but fail to see the big picture to their ultimate advantage.

What I suspect is that Mandela had been willfully and thoroughly emasculated of his revolutionary zeal by his apartheid jailers during his long and painful jail-term. He was therefore then well-primed to take over as a President only just so that he would play a stage-managed tolerant role which was convenient for and in the interest of the continued advancement of apartheid capitalism to survive and thrive. This plot, to all intents and purposes, succeeded without a hitch.

Before Mandela died, he was famously celebrated every year on his birthday in the capitals of all the worlds major imperialist cities. Some of us fell for the ploy and celebrated along with the unusual and strange spectacle of global imperialism rejoicing and honouring a Blackman.

So Kobby I ask, what was it so special about this particular Blackman, Mandela, that they were celebrating? We have seen the Emperor Bokasa's, the Mobutu Sese Seko's and the Houphouet Boigny's who gave away millions and billions worth of their countrys resources for free to these imperialist vampires but even they were not accorded this kind of royal treatment. This should give you an idea of what by default, Mandela gave away to our oppressors.

I have lived in Europe for many years, I have studied the political landscape of imperialism and I now know for a fact that the white man does not genuinely laugh with a Blackman unless he has got something over him and he the white man is hugely and unfairly exploiting the Blackman to his maximum advantage.
