Danquah suggested to be named for the British colony, the Gold Coast, when it attained independence originate from Kwame Nkrumah. This is an authentic historical fact that would not be distorted for any purpose whatsoever. Dr. J.B. Danquah had long settled on the adoption of the ancient ‘Ghana’ name for the Gold Coast when the emancipatory team fighting to wrench the Gold Coast free from the British exploitation administration. Kwame Nkrumah only later became a member of the emancipatory team on an invitation to him, which he did accept, Dr. Pro. Edmund Delle.
What establishes true about Kwame Nkrumah, later as Prime Minister of Ghana, getting some Ghana coins minted that bore the inscription ‘CONDICTOR CIVITATIS GHANIENSIS? KWAME NKRUMAH COULD NOT BE, AND CANNOT EVER BE THE FOUNDER OF GHANA STATE, ANCIENT OR CONTEMPORARY! Kwame Nkrumah tried deceiving the illiterate Ghana populace that was unread in the classics, which is pathetic, to say the least. True, Kwame Nkrumah sped up the fight that released the Gold Coast from the British colonial stranglehold. But sure enough, Kwame Nkrumah did not establish Ghana contemporary. He was lucky enough to be allowed to form the first ever free government that was to supervise the run of the economy of Ghana state contemporary. Kwame Nkrumah did run Ghana’s economy on socialist/communist theory that did drive Ghana into unfathomable problems. Kwame Nkrumah did botch up the first ever economy he ran for Ghana, for which he is held in adulation by some people for what these are.
