  Re The Ghana Academy of Arts and Science, we hear about another bi-partisanship move by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah:
  
  Nkrumah appointed "...J.B. Danquah member of Ghana Arts and Academy of Science and Director of Legal Education in Ghana..."
  
  READ THIS:
  BY, DR. KWAME OKOAMPA-AHOOFE!
  READ:
  "....It is...instructive...that none of the...coup d'états have been staged by any other than bona fide members of the Ghanaian military. Granted, some rascal civilians...staunchly backed regressively Darwinian means of political access, including a world-renowned...former prime minister (Busia). Interestingly, in July 1956, when President Nkrumah's...CPP...won a landslide victory... Busia rode herd on a delegation to the British office in London, to petition the British Crown, and...colonial overlord, to desist from granting the already-scheduled return of Ghana to self-governance. Fortunately... Busia and his right-wing bourgeois reactionaries did not succeed. (Busia)...however, succeeded ten years later in backing the military junta that unseated the Nkrumah administration and facilitated the precipitous devolution of Ghanaian national destiny....", from “SOUNDS OF SIRENS: ESSAYS IN AFRICAN POLITICS & CULTURE”, Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr (2004).
  
  
  THEN THIS FROM THE CURRENT ARTICLE: "...Modern science has taught us enough, and has already given us enough, to be able to tackle our agricultural, industrial and economic problems...Modern science has taught us enough to be able to assist us in solving...practical problems of education, agriculture, medicine, engineering and industry...There is no need for us to go through all the long and complicated stages of the development of science which other countries have gone through in the past. We are, as it were, jumping the centuries, using the knowledge and experience already available to us...", (Kwame Nkrumah, 1963).
  
  ALL POINTS BULLETIN!
  
  Calling!
  
  Calling Accra-Tema-Kumasi-Tamale-Sunyani, and all points in between!
  
  We have a problem!
  
  Ghana, as it were, maybe slept-walked one (1) decade, after the overthrow, in 1966. It was certainly not a "jump" by today's reckoning.
  
  And surely not a century, or a century-and-half by today's date.
  
  That jump of a century-plus was accomplished by the Asia Tigers, among them Singapore!
  
  Peace!

  Prof Lungu, do you know who Nkrumah's speech writers were?
  
  Of course, the man was intellectually capable of writing his own speeches (he was a great orator who was known to often depart from his written speeches) but, as a busy man, he wouldn't have time to write all these speeches. And he gave a lot. Of course, he would approve of these speeches before giving them, but who were his speech writers? Did he have any?
  
  Do you know, Prof Lungu?
  
  SENDERO doesn't come here these days but he is very knowledgeable about these things and many other details about Nkrumah's life that cannot be found in books. I should be directing this question to him...

  We admit and agree that Nkrumah a canonized saint. Yes Saint Kofi Nwiah! What else? The way forward, just as one Macus Ampadu has been advising you, is to focus on how to deal with the corruption, the divide and rule and the hyper-incompetence of the ruling Trokosi leaning NDC. Kojo have been sighted elsewhere on this forum today given his support to Mahama for 2016. No surprises at all because that is the wish of all those noise making mendacious-muckraking self proclaimed Nkrumahist and PanAfricanists. These minions are dye in the wool NDC sympathizers who, out of shame for being part of the gross incompetent administration of Mahama, enjoy being tagged as Nkrumahist.

  TRYING HARD TO JUSTIFY KWAME NKRUMAH IS REALLY AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY. THE ADVOCATES OF KWAME NKRUMAH ARE REALLY WASTING THEIR TIME AND INK, BECAUSE ALL THE ARTICLES, WILL NOT WIPE OUT THE FATAL FLAW THE SHOWBOY OF AFRICA MADE, MAKING GHANA A ONE PARTY DICTATORSHIP, WHICH WAS HIS UNDOING. MAN DESIRES FREEDOM AND LIBERTY NATURALLY AND IF FORCED AGAINST HIS NATURAL ASPIRATIONS FOR FREE THINKING, FREE CHOICE AND SELF DETERMINATION, HE WILL NATURALLY REBEL AND CAUSE A CHANGE IN HIS BAD AND NEGATIVE SITUATION. THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO NKRUMAH AND NKRUMAH WORSHIPPERS SHOULD NOT CRY OVER SPILT MILK HERE.

  This is FOOD for thought for Ghanaians.Trying hard to justify what? KWASEA ! Why do you think Nkrumah is universally acclaimed as the GREATEST AFICAN ? Only pseudo- intellectuals like you don't appreciate what Nkrumah did.

  Very powerful article and great work for sharing Kwarteng, but the truth is Nkrumah was a brave man and brave to the end, no leader in my opinion even comes close to the ingenuity of Dr. Nkrumah, thumbs up!
