The last time I saw him was February 15th 1966.He was changing from one car to another because of numerous assassination attempts on his life and he waived me and my friends. I missed him.

Nkrumah was the greatest visionary of all time.Nyerere of Tanzania was one of the opponents of United Africa. I wish he is still alive to witness his folly for opposing Nkrumah.

[@katikirocharles1403]

Mwalimu Nyerere, my President, in one, either celebrations of Ghana's I dependence or Osagyefo's birthday, to which he wa invited to driver speech, he declared he was wrong and Osagyefo Dr. Nkrumah was right...had he listened! Whatever the definition it goes by, be it apology or bearing responsibility, would not have changed anything, but Nkrumah had little time sell such noble agenda amid such powerful sociohistorical and cultural/ideological difficulties and resistance to unification, especially from Francophone countries, because reactionary elements in Ghana itself decided to assist the empirialist agenda. Very painful that the redeemer was declared 'useless' by Gen. Ankrah in his first press conference after the coup!

Akuffo Addo brought the inflation rate from 13% in 2016 to 52.3% hyperinflation today, they took national debt from $120 billion to $550 billion meaning they spent more than double of every government since Nkrumah. The world bank during covid gave him $50 million dollars 31 million of which he said he used for "budget support" but now has magically disappeared, yet he has the guts to say covid 19 and Russian - Ukraine war. Every policy under Akuffo Addo has failed or is on it's last legs. He can't even pay for school feeding for his flagship programme.

[@lvpn144]

There is no question he is a brilliant mind and leader but with all balances of power a leader must know when it is time for him to take up his post and leave for new leadership to continue. Africa’s chief problem is not lack of resources or even of opportunity but it’s chief problem has and continues to be corruption from the smallest facets of society to the large governing powers corruption is like cancer to a nation and the peoples of that nation. Bureaucracy is also a chief problem as it undermines progress and creates the first chief problem corruption. Finally lack of skilled labour many Africans are capable and choose to apply their capacity to foreign companies and nations who will pay top dollar to acquire their expertise and knowhow. A good example of this is Nigeria where many chemical engineers have went to the US/Europe and Far East of Asia to pursue a carrier when in reality their nation is in desperate need of their expertise. The AU is a step in the right direction but it is evident that foreign powers still wish to exploit Africa for its resources rather than help the Africans stamp out corruption and bring forth the industrial revolution that has swept across US/Asia/Europe.

You started your comment about how brilliant Nkrumah was and then jump to his lack of balance of power and to give up his post for a successor. You stated this without taking into consideration the political system Ghana was under. Colonialism!!!!!

Never tell your secrets to ANYONE. Let it stay in YOUR HEAD. Nkrumah should have worked silently underground.

[@samabeka3023]

Marcus Garvey,Martin Luther King, Malcolm X,K.Nkrumah,etc., all made the same error of too much self exposures. Secrecy,it is said,is the secret of success. We Black people do really know who our enemies are, but because they don't come out to shout it out in our faces,by outlining their plans and intentions,we are unable to overcome them. The simple fact that your enemy do not expose his thoughts and intentions before you,makes one to somehow doubt if he may not be mistaken. Not so with the Blackman,who is so filled with anger,frustration, contempt and hatred,that he becomes blindfolded by their thoughts and emotions, thereby throwing all caution to the wind, come what may. Only a fool cries over spilt milk thus,it will be unnecessary to be always complaining of the shortcomings of the great men of which the Black Race has been robbed of,and in most cases by black people who become traitors,like in the case of the Honourable Thomas Sankara, betrayed by one who eats and drinks with him,in the interests of the eternal and perpetual nemesis of the Black Race as a whole !

I must make several corrections of the facts. The west deliberately lowered the cocoa quota to zero, and the price per ton which Ghana received for her coca crop. It went from 190 pounds per ton and precipitously dropped to 77 pounds per ton. That caused an automatic deficit in that industry alone. Ghana's International creditors were threatened with severe sanctions (by the west) if they continued to do business with Ghana. The prices of heavy equipment needed to excavate raw materials were exorbitantly raised with the intent to cripple the CPP's industrial program as well. The western nation leaders were livid about President Nkrumah's book Neo-Colonialism the last stage of Imperialism. It blew the lid off of the international finance capital plundering Afrika's resources perpetuating poverty on the continent. They.promptly denied Ghana a $35 million dollar loan package that she was good for. This was an economic squeeze to sabotage Ghana's development efforts which has been to that point carried out with a great degree of success. Ghana was in it's next step toward economic independence, which was the path away from the colonial economy they inherited.. The CPP was working through that "squeeze" before the coup d'etat occurred. Military-Police traitors with the collaboration of the C. I. A. ended Ghana prosperity and turned it back to the mercy of the colonial governments by installing a puppet government, reestablishing their interlocking business combines to continue the exploitation of Ghana's resources for western economies. That's what happened.
