If Osagyefo accepted them, he will have conditioned it on something big and beneficial for Ghana, like ending dumsor immediately. Nkrumah was too intelligent to be compared to Mahama and evil Hannah Tetteh.

Simply put this country is under the leadership of his incompetent-in-chief JDM, that is the reason international community and majority of Ghanaians want a change.

Ghana belongs to the Akans and Africa to the Africans,not Arabs ,Lebanese , Islam or any other occupational retrogressive ,corrupt forces.For those in doubt see events around the bond of 1844 and agreements of 1871 which were the basis for independence and tell me if its about Arabs , ewes , Muslims , Lebanese or what have yous. Its idiots who teach children to think Akosombo is ewe and Akans of Accra are now Gas by identity if not ethnicity.JJ's fake revolution was nothing but a war against the Akans camouflaged by politics of propaganda rhetoric. When they realized that Kutu Acheampong and some of the Akan intelligentsia with the then stakeholders were considering the Secession or separation of the Ewes from the rest of us they decided to decapitate the threat as they would lose their breadbasket of Gold and cocoa. That is why all the generals and upper echelon of the army and security were murdered. They then needed purge the civil service of any threat so under the guise of an IMF program fired most and the rest were driven out by being falsely accused of being agents of the CIA , where in the world did the CIA in peace time employ over 100,000 foreign civil servants as informants? America very gladly accepted these highly trained people and kept quiet. Now these ayigbe are clutching to the last straws of power but we shall boot them out this year. This issue of these gitmo ex cons is deal between Nana ,Mahama and Obama so crying over spilt milk is pointless. America knows the lives of these aint worth shit here as just like these criminal idiots who come to Ghana because of gold end up dead weekly and so are no more even news so will these 2 be dealt with sooner or later and they can never be protected successfully by our national security. America has used this to teach us a lesson , if we allow a corrupt compromised president to sit there and we not act any power political , criminal or national will sooner or later be able to twist his arm to do something detrimental to the interests of the people. Since the bond of 1844 for only nation that has always been on our side through think and thin is the USA and as such are our brothers. We are to blame and we are lucky they sent us the 2 instead of some other insidious woe. Political parties should now weed out all corrupt elements and focus on those who are loyal to the needs and wants of our people. The reaction of the chief imam and his spokesman also confirms that Islam and Muslims have no loyalty to the interests of the majority or the people of Ghana so we need to do everything to separate ourselves or ban Islam. Why is it that common sense does not factor in the equation and they rejoice at the reception of these terrorists . Is it because they now have the direct links to start undermining even more the society? They add insult to injury and claim we are xenophobic but refuse to recognize the fact that we would react in the same way when the USA chooses to start exporting their other criminals like pedophiles , mafia cosa nostra or simple psychopath murderers. If we were calm in receiving their criminals then that would be cause for worry so they should all shut the fuck up.
The silence of Nana on the matter of these gitmo ex cons is a confirmation that both he and Mahama have capitulated in the face of a greater force and i suspect the super power USA. Like it or not America has waded into our conflict and you will now see a structural transition of power to the NPP . Notice all of a sudden the dumsor is no issue , corrupt ministers resigning over trivialities without a fight ,etc.The idea NDC has denied us our cutlass revolution and opted out 9 months before the election for a peaceful transition of power is FALSE, my advice to you folks is to remain steadfast in the battle to remove NDC from there. Americans are naive to think that NDC will go peacefully , we have checked and noticed that they have increased activities to cause chaos around the election which will lead to ethnic conflict and war , they have no intention of respecting any agreement which includes them relinquishing power. We would like to forget about politics and concentrate on rebuilding our country , heal the wounds and create unity but it seems the Americans did not learn anything from their experience with Qaddafi , he broke so many agreements that in the end its was only by war and force he was removed from there. ITS NOT OVER YET. Frenzied activities are ongoing to make sure the pepeni/ayigbe alliance of evil does not leave in peace so go back to your preparations of defending yourselves when war starts . Do not be massacred like chickens as our brothers in Libya were because they refused to read the signs of the times .We witness the activities of these extremist criminals in Burkina Faso and realize we must have these 2 executed before its too late. When America couldnt find friends or allies to willing take these gitmo ex cons they turned to their brothers who because of corruption have a compromised leadership so can be arm twisted to accept the unthinkable. Radical extremist probloms require radical swift solutions , we should bribe our corrupt security agencies to kill these idiots who agreed to come here and be the nucleus of future destabilization . The embassy honestly admits they can not vouch for these criminals which confirms even after 14 years incarceration they are not rehabilitated

This is all hypothetical since no one knows which way Nkrumah would have gone but if we look at the man Nkrumah in the 60s there is no way he would have even be approached for such a favor for America just as I doubt if Mugabe was on the list of presidents to solicit for GITMO detainees distribution.
And even if Nkrumah was asked I am sure his answer would have been a resounding NO. Why would Nkrumah say yes to folks he did not like or the Americans ask Nkrumah who was on their shit list?

What is principled about taking in a bunch of terrorists? What was Nkrumah going to do with them? You mean Nkrumah would have liked to show the world that he is friends with America? No way in hell he would have done that -- it is that attitude which led to his early demise. He hated America's ideology and was already aligned with USSR/China. Politically, Nkrumah was very strategic and so this would not have helped his course in anyway. Either way the American government was working to overthrow him so would not be on their list of president anyway to solicit. Do you think Mugabe was approached, and if so do you think he would have taken the terrorist?
Sure, Kaiser was an American company but this was not a political decision even though he ended up writing a terrible contract with Kaiser, thanks to JJ for getting the contract re-written.

In the first place, K B Ashante did not collect any envelopes from anywhere, and Mugabe would not be approached because there is no special relationship that prevails between him and the USA. People call on people that are on good relationship.
Nkrumah may accept the USA request dependimg on their relationship. One could remember that the time Nkrumah was on good terms with the USA he went to them and asked for help for the construction of the Akosombo dam and VALCO. The USA supported him based on the negotiations that took place between the two nations.
After the Zimbabwe independence there were good terms between Mugabe and the Americans, and if they had brought the issue of the GITMO GUYS that time he might have been more than happy to coperate with them by receiving the guys with joy.
All that K B is trying to say is about common sense in line with intelligence and wisdom in the political arena. Ghanaians are with little kids' minds hence making a lot of noise over the GITMO issue, and that had made rational citizens laugh at our politicians and the religious bodies.
They even forget that they do receive financial help from the Americans in divers ways, therefore they prove that they are friends of the USA, and if so why cry over the issue like the US is an enemy to Ghana in the arena of politics. Is it not Ghana that was the first stop of Obama which angered the Kenyans, Nigerians and others?
One may ask WHY? it is because they like and respect Ghana and believe Ghana could stand with them in time of trouble and in need, and that has come now, so why are the village oriented minds in our politics behaving like they do not have intelligence which could help them to refere to records.
\
Finally one may imagine risks, a situation that can be possible and could not be possible simply because Ghana has done nothing wrong against the Al quaida group, but instead Ghana had been rather good to the Al quaida GITMO released detainees who were suffering in the Guantanomo prisons, but had been welcome today to start their freedom.
Any logical wise and intelligent person could tell you the GIYMO guys see Ghana as their saviour and a gate way back to their nation to meet their loving ones. With this analysis where is the threat that may come from them.
Are we fools without common sense? It because under Mahama that they had come here, and thus people of the other side of the political line want to frustrate him out of hatred, and with the mind of political fallacies wish to turn every good thing upside down in the minds of the majority Ghanaians with low level to reason over realities in the nation's politics, so that they express panic and fear.
This is very evil when the NPP and the foolish ones following them know Ghana had been good to the GITMO guys, who had welcome the love Ghana shown. The gitmo guys will forever defend Ghana because they understand we love them. Period.

Nkrumah, the Communist Dictactor that we know, would never have dance to the tune of the Americans whom KB Asante and his so called Nkrumahist claim did everything to sabotage Nkrumah's government. The old man's reasoning contradicts the beliefs of his formers boss who betrayed the Americans by associating himself with the Communist World, after the Americans schooled, trained and nurtured him to become who he was.
You see, these act of betrayal hypocrisy is the Trade Mark of these disrespectful and squattering-loud-mouth Nkrumaist who parade this website as colossus. Most of these got their education in the US, their kids enjoy free basic and secondary school education among other free stuff, but would turn around to hypocritically demonize the very benefactor who made them who they are today. Yes their kids enjoy free education abroad but would not support Nana Addo, the next president,Insha Allah, to do same in Ghana . Bulls Eye!

Why buy ignorance at an expensive price when wisdom is readily available and free of charge?
You talk about education and reason like an illiterate without home sense too. Did Mahama use your mother, wife or daughter to have his children? Do you know about rights? Do you have any idea about some African traditions and respects individual choices? You sit somewhere talking about family planning, do you know how many kids those who proposed family planning have and continue to have? You just google information and think they are facts and accepted opinions everywhere. If you are right about the number of children he has, have you for a second done the simple logical reasoning to know when he had them and when he held public office? Do you know much about his family financial strength? It is his choice to have as many children as he wishes so go burn the see, for that is what family planning is about. You don't even understand family planning yourself. How many of the children are way-ward like you?
Don't be jealous of him, for his IQ is far higher that yours from what I have just read from you and your 3rd class flag bearer (with the lowest IQs Ghana has ever recorded; he had all the luxury during University days but still settled for 3rd class and subsequently got sacked from further studies.
I am very surprise at this age you still do not know that there are educated people with many children, especially in Africa. Just google and see the result of that "educated people with many children"

The nicest talk ever heard on the Guanta 2, Ghanaians are always with open arms to take from other nations including the u.s but are not prepared to give anything in the form of help to any nation. I remember Atta mills offered some amount of money to Haiti after the earthquake and Ghanaians took our departed former president to the pigs with insult and all sorts things . When the American millennium challenge account is uplifting life and infrastructure in Ghana nobody talks about it. We all know these state of the road from Mallam junction to Tetteh Quashie looked like and how it is now through the help of the U.s funds and the street has been named after President Bush(u.s). Ghanaians should learn to help other nations and am of the opinion that it not out of place for Ghana to house these two

Do you people take this oldman serious? The man is on retirement and the mind is sick but ndc as usual out of desperation will run to everybody who is willing to take nokofioo or who has taken something from their government to come and defend them even if you are on your sick bed. Tell the disrespected oldman to behave well not to follow this deadgoat government for the little time left him. America wouldn't even dare to ask Ghana to accept them if Osagyefo were to be alive. The fact that this man worked for the government during that time doesn't mean he was in Osagyefo's shoes to know his mind. He is talking for himself not from Nkrumah, was he a close associate of Nkrumah like Kofi Baako and Krobo Edusei ? He is just polluting the minds of Ghanaians, the fact that he worked for Nkrumah doesn't mean he knows everything about the man. Osagyefo was like a who born dog type of person and wouldn't take people like this man who are not patriotic, he might even be one of those in his government on his list to fire after he came back home from Hanoi.

Nkrumah used his brains. He read widely and listened to a lot of different people. The exiles from French-speaking African countries, South Africa and other areas would have brainstormed him and pulled him out of the clouds in case he was deceived by the Americans to put his head in the clouds.
K B Asante, stop seeking cheap glory just because you worked with Nkrumah.
Nkrumah also has carpet-sweepers and
others. They don't misrepresent his ideas. Tell Ghanaians -- how often did you see Nkrumah face-to-face and did you dare to speak when he opened his mouth?

The elephants are funny people. Always looking for what can guarantee them political power in November2016. Free eduction eluded them and now out of the moon like a manna from heaven, the GITMO2 landed as such they believe their prayers have been answered as such all their noise makers and barking dogs have been left loosed by Akuffo Addo not to let this chance go whilst he sits quietly at his Nima Flagstaff house and enjoying the drama unfolding. But a BIG BUT, they are fighting a losing battle because Ghanaian Moslems are asking if the two gitmo detainees were Christians will they attack President Mahamah and his government? They also want NPP and their comrades to know that in 9/11 terrorists attack those who died weren't Americans alone. It affected every part of the world. Ghanaians lost five of their Fire Service personnel who were then undergoing training in America. Ghana is part of the world, Ghana is not on a different planet. This GITMO issue is a global issue as such it isn't an issue for only some selected countries. Akuffo Addo should rather look for a better and convincing campaign message that can help him than turning all his heat on this issue. He will totally FAIL because some people are saying it appears he had no message beside that of the teachers allowance until this GITMO issue dropped about three weeks ago!

The Christian Council and the Catholic Bishops are making it worse by rejecting them. This way, they are making all Ghanaian Christians as targets. You know these extremists claim they are muslims and foolishly go killing Christians and those who hate them. So which one is safer, accepting or rejecting them?
Mahama is smart to have accepted them to avoid any backlash but the NPP is politicizing it and making Christian at risk.

I do not know if Nkrumah would have accepted the Gitmo 2. However, that is not the issue. Kwame Nkrumah was never all knowing and infallible. The issue is whether or not having these two people on Ghana is a good thing. The people of Ghana are sheep. They see a Ghana policeman or army with an AK 47 Kalishnikov or other rifle, and the typical Ghanaian is totalled frightened into inaction. I drive through a typical Zongo in any of the big towns in Ghana, and invariably I see graffiti praising the Taliban or Boko Haram or al Qaeda. Ghanaians have already been informed that a graduate of KN University has been recruited into ISIL. There are others who will be easily recruited. I respect the views of this man, K. B. Asante but on this subject he us totally wrong and focused on the wrong question. If Nkrumah would have accepted these criminals, Nkrumah would have been wrong as he was in many other situations.

They(US,detainees' families and sympathizers) are now grateful to Ghana and would not like to hurt her in anyway.

Go to US Naval Hospital at Walter Reed and see the scares of war inflicted on African kids who joined the US army, Black Americans, white ex-ombatants before you talk about Nkrumah accepting such sub-human cocroaches into Ghana. Your memory about Nkrumah is warped, KB. Cm'on now! Shut up. Are you saying George Bush was stupid in routing Taliban, Osama Bin laden and his trigolites? Shut up and enjoy your retirement from politics. Where is the compassion these duo exhibited when they went killing girls going to school, women teachers, debasing western values, historical artifacts and the more? Do these people use cell phones? Those are western inventions through a Syrian born American, Steve Jobs. Why is Obama not sending some of the detainees to Kenya where his father came from? Because they know one or two of where Mahama has his stached moneys in the US. They will blackmail him if he so chides. Mahama is out of touch and a big timer loser. Less concerned about Ghana and selfish. Cast your mind back to what has happened in Burkina Faso since Friday, 01-15-2016. Would you accept people who are reluctant to change their ways and thoughts? They AlQaeda and the jihadists are steeped deep in 9th Century Islam and thinking, where women are second class citizens and their only place is in the kitchen. Is that what K B Asante wants for your girl child? That girl at the Foreign Affairs Ministry, Hannah Tetteh would killed by these trigolites for a woman serving in that capacity. Why support foolishness. George Bush is a very compassionate man and understanding. See what he did for Africa in his presidency and comapre him to Obama. Is that the best Obama could do for Africa and Ghana in particular; ignoring us, turning Lybia and Gaddafi down? See what we have in Lybia today. Shut up KB. The world needs a man like Donald Trump who speaks his moind and the truth and not colar matters. Get off our lawn, KB. Ghana has enjoyed peace because she has kept her territory away from troubles. These two in our midst are human-bombs waiting to go off. This is a seed of terror being planted in Ghana. Send them where they want to go and not GHana. This is a deal with sulfur. If Akuffo Addo fails to lead ghana will elect a Catholic Bishop as his next president, i am predicting.

I disagree with the Oldman. I have mused over this same issue and I'm convinced that Nkrumah's ultra nationalist spirit would have compelled him to reject any 'imperialist' inducement to accept such potentially dangerous clients. Remember he neither looked east or west but only forward, in the larger national interest. His record speaks for itself.

KB Asante and Kofi Anan are two people Ghanaians should be mightily proud of. However, I disagree with Asante on the issue of the Gitmo detainees. The USA could not run over Nkrumah and his staff the same way it has done with Mahama and his staff. Nkrumah was no push-over, and would not have allowed his country to be used as a pawn in the so-called fight against terrorism and detainee resettlement. Nkrumah was well-informed on world matters, unlike some of the clowns we have today in the government.

I do not know if Nkrumah would have accepted the Gitmo 2. However, that is not the issue. Kwame Nkrumah was never all knowing and infallible. The issue is whether or not having these two people on Ghana is a good thing. The p ...

AND THAT IS WHY NKRUMAH IS STILL THE PRESIDENT OF GHANA TODAY.
still smart politicians cannot figure it out. so unfortunate & sad.
At this age, he must not even be talking. Nkrumah would have accepted the two terrorists as a reward to the CIA for chasing him around? What stupidity.
This is the ignorance KB is talking about. The detainees are not Americans, so why will Nkrumah hate their settlement? Don't you think Nkrumah stood for justice and would have even pushed for the detainees to come settle in G ...

That is why Ghana has collapsed. Nkrumah's ambitions went beyond the interests of the country. He is part of the reason Ghanaians are suffering today
No......remember Nkrumah was a champion of non-aligned and therefore wouldn't have accepted the garbage from the U.S. if you want a life example go ask Kufour or Rawlings if any of them would have accepted the terrorists!
Nkrumah stood for fairness and justice for all. Remember the detainees are not Americans for him to have rejected them. He had no problem with the Yemenis and would have even championed their release from detention and give t ...

I disagree with the Oldman. I have mused over this same issue and I'm convinced that Nkrumah's ultra nationalist spirit would have compelled him to reject any 'imperialist' inducement to accept such potentially dangerous clie ...

The spirit of Nkrumah never dies does why we have accepted them
In fact the UP, the mother of NPP did the same to Nkrumah when he was helping Yasa Arafat and the Palestinians
Whether or not Nkrumah would have accepted them cannot be predicted by any one except Nkrumah himself. Besides Nkrumah's era and current happenings are very different. Terrorism was not that high by then. And may be Nkrumah w ...

Another hypocrite pushing Ghana into the ditch with their hypocrisy!
Nkrumah never liked American and was much more aligned to the USSR and would have never take in America's prisoners.We know
You are knowledgeable but we won't take this in.

TOP DIPLOMAT, TEACH THE IGNORAMUSES.
I think he should leave Osagyefo out of this nonsense
Mr K.B. Asante is living in a "fool's paradise. " There's no way, even Nkrumah, as a dictator, would have accepted those terrorists.
The circumstances surrounding their entry into Ghana, has got much to be desired.
It's a ...

KB Asante and Kofi Anan are two people Ghanaians should be mightily proud of. However, I disagree with Asante on the issue of the Gitmo detainees. The USA could not run over Nkrumah and his staff the same way it has done with ...

Mr. Asante, I have a great respect for you, but this one alone, I disagree. There was no way Dr. Nkrumah would have taken these guys. Considering the antagonistic relationship between him and the US at the time.
Why all the older men in Ghana lie like that?Nelson Mandela came to Ghana and kwame Nkrumah refused him
"Mr. Asante wants the government of Ghana to use the good gesture towards the United States to ask for help."
Your statement says it all, you are one of those who betray Nkrumah. He will never have sold Ghana to anyone. you ...
