‘Passing off rumour as fact’ has always been the style of those who dislike him…This absolutely hypothetical, Maamley. The event I mention to you did happen in my era; I was in the Sixth Form. We did some project work on it with indestructible evidence by a PhD dissertation work by Professor David E. APTER. Princeton University, New Jersey.
Come on, Maamley, it was not Kwame Nkrumah’s foresight that brought independence to Ghana. The fight to wrench the Gold Coast from colonial thraldom had long long begun before Kwame Nkrumah ever got invited to join the emancipating team. Where did you get your stuff?
Don’t ever draw in issues that are a non sequitur. Who is responsible for the plight of ‘those plying their wares on the streets of Accra’? You’ve strayed into faulty parenting issues, do you realize? It is the absolutely wrong policies Kwame Nkrumah, being what he was, chose to introduce to the economy of the Republic of Ghana we have condemned, and must correct. We do not tolerate abuses of any nature wherever their source. Kwame Nkrumah needed to get better equipped with the requisite education before venturing into the complex arena of building a nation state’s economy. You never come messing up with human lives with absolutely untenable ideologies. Don’t ever tell me some Ghanaians have chosen to mess up with their lives, for what they are. EDUCATION…PROPER LEARNING is what we are tackling here.
I pray you get the chance to get registered for the courses I am running to educate the Ghanaian parents contemporary.

One could say loads and more, BUT at least with Nkrumah you saw results on the ground; such that the system in place could accommodate Rawlings’ with only a limping pass in English a place in the army. Now, those plying their wares on the streets of Accra, most have more than one pass- often they failed either Maths or English a requirement – archaic in my opinion, for them to progress in society. There is acute entropy in the systems in Ghana. The many buildings bought by Nkrumah in UK are all in the name of the republic- none for him. Those are still in use by subsequent regimes for businesses such as CMB, Foreign Affairs, Economic planning etc. Passing off rumour as fact have always been the style of those who disliked him because none had the foresight nor the fortitude it took to make Ghana an independent nation. Are you one of those???

How competent would you say Dr. Kwame Nkurmah was? Socialism/communism that captured Kwame Nkrumah imagination blocked his views to the real problems that the beginning economy of the Republic of Ghana was. Kwame Nkrummah never had any right and authority to invest Ghana’s meagre finance capital left the new coming Ghana by its business interactions with the British in other coming countries, even if these were and are African countries. What right did Nkrumah have to abrogate the parliamentary democratic system in Ghana? Under whose constitutional mandate? One man authoritarian rule? And where were Kwame Nkrumah’s competence as an administrator of an economy if Krobo Edusei and their cohorts could, with little ease, syphon the country’s capital into private accounts? Where and how and when did the 10% bribe taking for contract taking slip into Ghana’s method of doing business, you know?
Nkrumah was competent as an administrator, you would say? In 1968 the President of the Republic of Ghana had to have carried to London ten Gold Bars the international Community had paid for. The tenth carrier of the gold bullion case Kwame Nkrumah had filled with black soil; Kwame Nkrumah had removed the pure gold away! Can you ever believe this? This is what Nkrumah would like you to believe is the smart way of doing business by the coming African politician. Great Britain, USA and the rest of the Western powers hit hard back in retaliation. Where Ghana went following the episode is all history. A coup d’etat followed. This is Kwame Nkrumah’s competence and wisdom for you you. Today in all Ghana, the corrupting 10% is almost the norm. Your headmasters and headmistresses take bribes in administering educational institutions, even today! I have not mentioned Mahama and his NDC malaise yet in the political realm, you see?

please next time read well before you criticize, check this out in the President statement

“We have a problem, and what is the best way? It is better to have men and women capable of serving the nation’s interests and to work to grow the economy… If I succeed, you will soon find out the brouhaha is nothing compared to the success.”

I beg to differ. Ghanaians did not create the problems for Ghana. We had a competent leader that was overthrown that allowed our nation to descend into malaise. The nation was put back 50 years due to that coup. Look around you, the only infrastructure that you find worthy of praise was built by Nkrumah. Fast forward, 2017- appointing so many ministers do not make for competency. Do they have quality of purpose to see what the nation needs and how to leapfrog the years of incompetency? To think we allowed an illiterate to rule Ghana for 20 years – the longest- and the worse regime with nothing to show for, its itself incredible. Gihoc, that Nkrumah established to be the cornerstone of the nations industrialisation was ruined by Rawlings and sold off by Tsikata et al- where did the money go? The nation is importing everything under the sun while its future leaders are selling wares by the road. The nation has no structure and the systems has been in decay since that fateful coup; NOW, the centre cannot hold. It would take another generation to produce another Nkrumah to redeem Ghana.
