  This case can be solved very easily, Onzy Nkrumah should submit himself to DNA test. I met an old woman in Philadelphia who swore that she knows of Nkrumah's African-American daughter. That person was her own niece and showed me some black and white pictures of Kwame Nkrumah with her sister in compromising embraces and postures.
  
  Point is Onzy Nkrumah may very well be Nkrumah's son, the man Kwame Nkrumah was no saint, but a human being who loved life, women and fine things - he wasn't called showboy for nothing - Onzy can spare us the run arounds and head straight to the DNA lab to put all doubting Thomases to shame. What is holding him back, especially so when he is being challenged by Sekou Nkrumah to do so to remove all doubts once and for all? Maybe Onzy himself is very much not 100% sure. Why is he resorting to this lineage story by popular acclamation? His whole persona is built on this fantasy and he is very much afraid of public humiliation if a DNA test turns out to strip him of his Nkrumah's lineage calling card. That will also expose his late mother as a sleep-around woman. In a way if Nkrumah was his father, as he believes and says so, why in God's name did he propose to marry Samia? Some nasty man. Tweaaaa!

  Oyokoba, Nkrumah like many Ghanaian men or for that matter African men did not see anything wrong having a lot of women.

  Oyokoba, Nkrumah like many Ghanaian men or for that matter African men did not see anything wrong having a lot of women.
  
  As a matter of fact, I met Maya Angelou in early 1980's when she came to give a speech at the University I was attending in Missouri and talked to me and another Ghanaian about how Nkrumah was good to her when she spent some time in Ghana in the early sixties as the guest of Nkrumah.
  
  The way this revered lady Angelou talked about Nkrumah, I came out with thinking there might have been a sexual relationship between her and African Show boy.

  this bafoon majored in creative writing, I guess it means create some fiction and write about it.
  Ghanaweb must be truly desperate to publish such garbage.

  Ha, ha, ha,aaaaaaaaaaa! The creative writer must always create something to write about. Even his own students know that he writes exactly what he dreams about and miles away from reality. As sister Souljah simply put it Okoampa Ahofe is just bunkum! As usual, he creates 'big words' to try to fool the readers not to trace his lies. Next time I may tell the stories of what my aunti had with Okoampa Ahofe's grandmother which goes to indicate that Okoampa in fact, is an illegitimate child of his uncle, Dr Joseph Boakye Danquah!!. This is something which, has been kept sicretely under the cemented floor in the cemented floor at the family house.

  Enlightened, but non-brutal authoritarian leaders, like the late Lee Kwan Yu, of Singapore, and our own Nkrumah, who led young states with low technical infrusture and inadequate educational and social development, created conditions necessary to rapidly transform society.Today's China shows a natural tendency for a society feeling increasing pressure to move away from authoritarianism. Mao was a life-long leader but now China's top leadership leaves the scene every ten years. lf Britain or the US were to use today's social norms strictly to judge Churchill, Roosevelt, Kennedy or Lincoln, none of these gentlemen would be deemed a national hero. Nkrumah contributed so much to the relative prosperity and peace of today's Ghana, so much to our education, and self-respect as Africans, that we need to accord him a special place at least in Ghana, if not all over Africa.
