The USA have George Washington's birthday my friend. What is so wrong with the black man idolizing one of his own. There is even a Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday, which is also a national holiday in the USA, he was not a President but a civil rights leader. Believe me they're all dead men. Ghanaians are not stupid, you are a moron!

Northerners came to the South to build Ghana yet you do not respect them. Constantly denigrating them and even the Gentleman President Mahama. Yes! Nkrumah a Southerner had overseas exposure and was an exception a true Ghanaian who was for all Ghana, north or South!! I do not see another Southerner ever duplicating his feat in the next 100 years given your localized Ghanaians have marginalized persons with overseas exposure!!

Very bad for a Founder's day. With nothing working in the country. Highway men are high on roads killing as if they do not care. All because state officials do not care. Police offices waiting for accused to purchase simple papers to write reports. School children falling inside pit latrines . But that school is very lucky to have the latrines. Teachers sending pupils home for "computer fees" when there are only two Pcs in the whole school. And electricity is out. Expensive oil drill rigs getting lost in the daylight. Sold cheaply the income shared and chopped by National Leaders and co. Members of Parliament calling themselves "honourable" to show their Mums and others how illiterate we are in the country.
Official Stealing making big noise in the vendor mouth . . .

Superstition have become the only hope. With Christian pastors, local Fetish priests promising magic from Gods . . .

Nkrumah is still turning in his grave, resting in horror than peace.

Is that Inkrumah there to celebrate his birthday, Inkrumah rather brought hardship to Ghana, when he drove all the whites away.

If the British had stayed a bit longer Ghana would have been better, now most Ghanaians have to travel to UK before there was no Visa

A man like him Ghanaians should not celebrate his birthday

OSAGYEFO, all that you fought for, when the 'users' asked you to join them in Ghana, in the struggle for OUR independence.........have all gone to waste!

Our GOD-SENT FOUNDER of OUR NATION, who did not stand for mediocrity and did not take fools gladly.....I SALUTE YOU!!!!!!!

- They tried to use you for their own personal gains, by pussy-footing with the British.
- You the brave warrior did not stand for that and went ahead to gain OUR independence for us.
- They got so angry that, they decided to go back to ask the Queen not to give us independence because we were not ready?
- Why then did they ask you to come and help them gain OUR independence in the first place? Was their so-called struggle really meant for Ghana?
- They then decided to de-stabilize their own country because you showed them the way and HOW to gain independence not to pussy-foot around the struggle,
- They continued with their destabilization of their own country by throwing bombs (present day terrorism); and eventually connived with the very same people (and their partners) they got independence from, to topple your government. How sad!
- They then put in place stooges.....
who stemmed all the progress you made for OUR nation and the looting of OUR nation's assets and rich natural resources for themselves and also to appease their collaborators of the coup; up till this present day.
- That is where they have brought us now, Osagyefo! That is where the GREEDY, SELFISH, IGNORANT, SHAMELESS lot have brought us today............

You left us with 100% of all our rich natural resources and infrastructural monuments to lead us to a true economic and political independence.

But guess what?...............ALL, and I mean ALL our rich natural resources have and is still being sold to the same people (we gained independence from and their cronies/the coup-plotters) on the very cheap, for their own personal gains, as usual.

Other actors came on the seen to rectify things, but Kutu Acheampong could not do it alone, But I applaud him for his bravery and at least did a lot for OUR dear nation. Better than all the others after you and till this present day.

OSAGYEFO, all that you did for us have gone to waste! The greedy ones are still using the structures you put in place and are still using your policies as their party political 'mantra' in their campaigns till this very day......how sad! They lack ideas!

Oh! Osagyefo! Your dear nation is bleeding to death! Those in power now, (the wolves in sheep clothing) are also in bed with the children of the coup-plotters and running the nation dry.

Osagyefo, the Ghana you left behind is
still filled with CORRUPT, GREEDY, SELFISH and LIARS from all walks of the the political spectrum and most of the populace..............have lost the purpose of their own human existence and see nothing valuable about themselves and worship everything foreign. To the extent of importing toothpicks!!!!

Here we are 2013,.......our so-called leaders and politicians have divided the nation into followers of their two most USELESS parties our nation have ever known; preaching tribal gutter politics.....to the demise of our citizens.

Our citizens now idolize CORRUPT and INSENSITIVE so-called leaders and politicians who flash around in luxury.

Oh! Ghana! Monday, September 23, 2013, should be taken as a day of reflection (starting tomorrow in church), on where we could have been now......had we known!!!!!!! The missed opportunities if Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah had been allowed to complete his VISION for Ghana and the entire Africa!

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

Gbon, I am sorry that the truth hurts...
And 'truth' as our saying goes is only one!

The TRUTH is he achieved more than your lot put together - being a dictator or not.

Isn't it a shame how you are enjoying this dictator's achievements? Together with your party and all the other parties? Some claiming and using his achievements and policies in their present day election campaigns?

Would you call Obama and Bush dictators? I guess not. They blew up terrorists. At least Nkrumah locked them up.

Thank God he was nobody's puppet.....

I'm sorry the truth hurts you. Please take time out, starting tomorrow morning and I can assure you, the TRUTH will be staring right in your face on Monday 23, September 2013.

God Bless you!

NKRUMAH NEVER DIES!!!! That's why he's being celebrated the world over.

You dare not compare the administration of your Kwame Nkrumah to that of Obama and Bush, who could challenge Nkrumah in the parliament those days? Go to America and you will see how congress gives Obama hard time. If you want to make comparison, then there should be a day set as PRESIDENTS DAY for all presidents but not for a particular president.
