  Busia was juast a stooge of the imperialists.He and Houphet Boigny,the late president of the Ivory Coast unashamedly campaigned for dialogue with apartheid South Africa at a time when the whole world except the West had ostracised the apartheid South African government.Busia's position was a disgrace,an embarassment to Ghana,a country which was at the forefront of getting rid of colonial rule in Africa.As for Houphet Boigny,an assimile,and a former member of the french parliament, he was just towing the line of his colonial master[france].

  When is Prof Kwarteng going to stop this Fanti-Nyamoransah nonsense. I mean, what triggered this stupidity at this very moment when the whole world is mourning the unthinkable election of the racial deranged bigot, DonaldvTrump, to the White House. Dankwah was no president, he was a mere opposition leader, so for you to needlessly compare him to Nkrumah is the most stupid thing that any sensible person can think of. Learn to use your time wisely. Ofui!

  Stupid Ass Sarfo at it again! Now your Ill-starred lumpen Idol was a mere opposition leader? Just like you,his pedantic bullying got him nowhere. Isn"t NPP a perfect clone of the Republican Party led by the racist bigot you are screaming about? Trump is no different from JB Danquah and K A Busia. It does not take a genius to see the similarities between your right wing NPP Party colours,symbols etc and that of Trump"s Republican Party. I hope he kicks you out of America!

  SEE THE FOLLOWING BOGUS ENGLISH GRAMMATICAL AS WELL AS USELESS ARTICLE FROM THE "COPY & PASTE" EXPERT, Mr. BAD ENGLISH, FRANCIS KWARTENG.
  
  ...it was Nkrumah who would eventually end diplomatic and trade relations with Apartheid South Africa.
  
  ...Why did the United Nations Special Committee on Apartheid posthumously (1978) award Kwame Nkrumah a Gold Award for his role in fighting the racist regime of Apartheid South Africa?
  
  ...Where are Danquah’s and Busia’s?
  
  ...One wonders which planet he must have been living on when he made that abominable, ignorant observation.
  
  ...but find time to undertake a series of activities all aimed at undermining the celebration of Nkrumah's birthday!
  
  ...We have had all sorts of articles written again this year by this group, some of which they will live to regret!
  
  ... is the fact that it boldly and objectively puts paid to the long-running criminal attempt by some of his most ardent
  
  OH! NO, SORRY! I have to stop in the middle of Kwarteng's "BOGUS" broken English---he is totally, a damn disgrace to Ghanaian media platforms with his polluting articles filled with stupid English gramatical, especially to Ghanaweb and Modernghana.
  Copying shit from the internet just to seeking a cheap attention with his modicum "Bird-Brain" 10,5% I.Q.

  You've just confirmed what Kwarteng is trying to get across,
  that the biggest obstacle in the progress of Africa is not Europeans but the self seeking so called educated African who thinks he speaks and writes better English and so should be accorded more respect than his fellow blacks of less privileges.
  
  The greatest strength of successful races is their respect and protection of their species not based on class but kind.
  I know this is hard for you to understand but please have a cool head and think abit deep on my words.

  Broken English or not, the article is very educative and worth reading. What you see as broken English does not make the article useless. One's usefulness should not be measured by how stellar his English is.

  Why in this guy's narrow-minded world everything about dictator Kwame Nkrumah is the best? Wow! And he uses a moron like Kwesi Pratt as one of his sources to explain Nkrumah's so-called singular freedom fighting role in Africa? With closed-minded writers like Kwarteng, we now know why Ghana is still in primeval state.

  Dr Nkrumah was a Hustler and never had things easy.
  I went to college in Export PA and with my experience,i realize that Nkrumah did not have things easy.

  Ghana's economy under Nkrumah was at its embryonic stage. Natural resources like gold and diamond were in abundance in the colonial South Africa? Nkrumah cutting commercial ties with an apartheid south Africa had infinitesimal effect on that country. Despite Nkrumah's visionary leadership and massive socio-economic development under his regime, the budget of 1965 showed a huge deficit. At 1966, Nkrumah had turned Ghana into a "poverty stricken frightened economy, isolated diplomatically and on the verge of national suicide" (Adu Boahen). In 1961, Nkrumah took 10 million pounds to the wicked Sekuo Toure who destroyed his country. Danquah had no evil intention. Nkrumah's despotism created a huge a economic challenges for the young Ghana.

  Danquah's ideas have stood the test of time and his party is force to be reckoned with as far as Ghanaian, political parties are concerned. Mr Kwarteng give us a break and let think positively for, our hearts are in the coffin there with J.B DANQUAH.

  Kwarteng always compare the achievements between JB Danquah and Kwame Nkrumah as if Danquah ever became president of Ghana. It is like comparing apples and tomatoes; it does not make no damned sense yet that fool thinks he knows a lot about Ghana or Africa history and politics. Let Kwarteng remember that once you become a president or a leader in any African country, it does not matter how stupid, dictatorial, or average you are, many people start worship you regardless of your accomplishments. Not surprise that you worship Nkrumah every day. Stop wasting your unproductive time comparing apples and mangoes. Nkrumah was despotic president; he never allowed Danquah the chance to become president too.
