Jb Danquah was a person who liked to smoke pipe, Drink liquor and wear obrono clothes and shoes. How many times did you see Danquah even wear traditional cloth like Nkrumah? I think Danquah was more for keeping the name gold Coast than changing it. This guy wanted to be president so much. He would have sold his soul to America and backstabbing nkrumah just for him to be used as a puppet. Je lousy and greed is not good....If I were nkrumah, I would have killed Danquah. Wat a Judas...

Author:-PRINCE KWASI ADADE (OFIE)...
Ivor Greenstreet said directly to President John Mahama and Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur that: “You don’t care”.

“Nobody is feeling your better Ghana”, Greenstreet shouted when he delivered his party’s solidarity message to the NDC at the congress at the Baba Yara Stadium in the Ashanti regional Captial, Kumasi – stronghold of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In the full glare of the President, Vice President, former President Jerry Rawlings, and thousands of leaders and supporters of the NDC, a defiant Greenstreet said: “…Currently nobody, I mean nobody is feeling your better Ghana.”

“Continuous ‘dumsor dumsor,’ corruption from top to bottom, left right inside out, and all the challenges you are facing [are] suffocating the Ghanaian people.”

He added: “We would have thought that perhaps you may have used an occasion like this to discuss policies, programmes and solutions to all the difficulties we are facing as a nation, but no, you chose today to share your Christmas gifts with each other.”

“Ghanaians are not happy at all. This ‘bronya’ is dry. Too too dry,” he told the President, adding: “The most painful thing of all is that you don’t care.”

“NDC continue, we are watching you, Ghana is watching you, do what you want to do, we also know what we’ll come and do…make sure you’ll elect executives who will be able to steer your parties affairs when you are in opposition. Boys abr3.”

The wheelchair-bound Politicians has been called names and criticised by leaders and supporters of the NDC after his bluntness. While Majority Leader Alban Bagbin has said he believed Greenstreet was possessed by some demons, which caused him to be “so emotional”, presidential staffer Sam George wrote on his Facebook wall that: “Ivor Greenstreet apparently needs elevation to see the Better Ghana.”

However, Nkrumah said Greenstreet’s message was crafted by the CPP to capture the mood and mind of the entire country.

Say something we dont know , ndc is going and we will never allow them to come back.Now even the ndc are privately campaigning for npp in the hope that we Akans do not take over. In their minds they think that NPP is better than the Akan freedom movement and as a compromise will rather settle for that but little do they know after we boot out ndc we shall also boot out NPP because they want Ghana with these pepeni/ayigbe retrogressive tribes. At independence the Ewes and Northerners opted to join Ghana but they did not ask if we opted to accept them , we dont. Kuffuor has betrayed the NPP as this is evident since we noticed in many things including fund raising in Kumasi that none of the businessmen affiliated with him contributed a single cedi to support the party but continue to connive and scheme with ndc traitors to sabotage. We now have another discriminatory situation in our register whereby Togolese ,Ivorians ,Nigerians and Burkina are welcome to vote but our own over ten million strong Akan diaspora dual citizens are denied this right because pepeni/ayigbe criminals must rule at all costs. Their fake ass constitution says we are all equal but we have a privileged caste of northerners who have the right for free education at our expense and all juicy govt appointments including presidency yet no lawyer has brought this before the courts because they judiciary is corrupt to the core. We saw recently one truck load of bullets worth over 20 million on the blackmartket being imported by these pepeni/ayigbe criminals in the hope that they can cause chaos and plunge this country into war as many more have passed through the porous borders . Yes they have hundreds of millions of stolen loot so they can waste our money on this mischief but we are ready. Ghana belongs to the Akans and they give our country the name of a failed state proclaiming it good and i wonder why the Europeans dont call Italy the roman empire .Very soon we shall be free with a country without these pepeni/ayigbe good for nothing devils. They now prefer NPP because they fear the free Akan movement that grows bigger and stronger every day. Since it doesnt matter how the people vote but who counts the vote we shall make sure we encourage all learned people to register themselves as polling agents and we shall see if ndc will get even 3 votes after we finish. yes this year we boot them out never to come back again. The should start packing so they leave in peace or suffer the consequences.

Please, let us not argue the origin of the Gold Coast's new name: Ghana. It may be J.B. Danquah who suggested naming the new country so, but J.B. Danquah actually suggested the name "Ghana and its people Ghanese". Dr. Kwame Nkrumah suggested the country's name as Ghana, and its people: GHANAIANS. So knowing the old West African country of Ghana by everybody, the change to "Ghanaians" was Kwame Nkrumah's!

We reject Armstrong and honour the man who thought of the idea? Danquah was in no position to give the name Ghana to our dear country. He might have suggested but it was Nkrumah who did name the country Ghana and that is the incontestable fact, except in the minds of shallow minded people like you, Nana

Nkrumah stole the name from J.B
Danquah who first wrote about it in his book on ancient Akan history "The Akan doctrine of God". Nkrumah always uses other people to achieve his individual goals. Thats why even his key members of his own party teamed up to overthtow him after he had seized all key positions. He was a criminal, thief and power drunken dictator who turned the country from one of the riches into one of the poorest on the continent. The entire country had turned against him so spare me with the nonesense Nkrumah was so great and he did so much.

It was not news of where majority of Ghanaian tribes comes from (it was known by the nzemas much more than the other Akan tribes that is why the nzemas can pin point their root) ....For example certain sect of the nzemas or "the coined appolonians" who are currently situated at nzulezo in current Ghana can still boast of migrating first from gana to walata in former Mali empire then cote d'ivoire whiles their siblings (fantis denkyiras brongs(Bono), nzandele or nzandema (Asantes) etc etc continued their journey according to the devastation of conflicts that arises between them .. it was a common news when the people of Western gold Coast where struggling from the Danes etc that was even when they (the Europeans )coined the name "alcanes" now called akans..so not news at all Nkrumah knew it and that was part of his motivation... So the mere fact that jb wrote about it makes it no record..

My Dear Mr. 'Aponkye', I was at a CPP rally at the Subin Valley in Kumasi in 1953 when Dr. Kwame Nkrumah stated that he agreed to the U.G.C.C's decision that the new Nation will be called Ghana and mentioned one Tunka Manin as the founder of the ancient Kingdom, Ghana.
In later years I found that Tunka Manin lived from 1010 to 1078.
It appears to me it was one decision that was accepted unanimously.
I was 20 years then and I loved the history branded about by the Juantuah Brothers - J.E. & F.A - and Archie Casely Hayford. One for your history brought up by Nana Akuffo Addo.

Danquah should be credited with his contribution to Ghana's political history BUT when it comes to the final naming the country Danquah preferred AKANLAND of AkanGa.
Here is the full text of the bill that turned the Gold Coast to Ghana:
" that this Assembly do authorise the Government of the Gold Coast to request Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, as soon as practicable this year, to procure the enactment by the United Kingdom Parliament of an Act to provide for independence of the Gold Coast as a sovereign and independent State within the Commonwealth under the name of Ghana."
It was moved by Nkrumah and all opposition members boycotted the motion.
That is history for you.

But for the unattainable ambition of one man; noble and dignified persons have been sacrificed just because they expressed alternative opinion . Today in NPP stupidity and unintelligent people have been promoted beyond measure where acid, killings, cutlasses, brooms and insults are their weapon. You dare not have to hold any opinion, damn you; you either get killed, suspended or sacked. Awwww……….Seriously something is wrong somewhere.

What can you do again after you have spilled the milk?

What is the value of salt if it has lost its taste?

How can you rule over people when you are such a racist and intolerable?

This man has no conscience or integrity he only fakes his way into everything but least knows what entails to be called a head of state. In broad day light in his party office; officials who were conducting democratic exercise were butchered in his name.

Just as has been his demeanour of keeping silent on all crimes levelled against him from being certificate less, Drug baron, Drug user, and womaniser, son of a traitor, drill ship thievery and his involvement in the release of drug baron from jail only Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo can tell; till now he has made no comment about this heinous act.

All that you guys claim to stand for are coloured by your political preferences and you think that will earn you some progress . Alas !....... This however shows how immature and silly you are in dialogue on issues of fair justice.

“Difficulties” are part of life, so it is for a growing nation like ours. It takes sacrifices to build a nation and not laziness and gluttony to consume and destroy what we have here and now. It is obvious that the gluttonous opposition NPP has nothing to clinch on for their campaign; so they think using “corruption” as a slogan will earn them some moral image. It is not do or die to be leader of a nation; it is however the free decision of the masses to choose who they want. You can even make snow fall in the desert or fly without wing; if you are not liked you are not liked.

The question is “Who is more corrupt in Ghana than these Dankwa / Busia folks?”

Attacking and distracting leaders without sound alternative is not only sickening with these folks but also portrays immaturity and emptiness. They just want to do or say something to grab unnecessary attention.

They have no solution???. If you test their opinion to deep analysis, you always end up by cheap and shallow political biases and unfounded allegations.

Always rushing to comment before analysing, attacking before asking what is at stake.

Is this not silly and idiocy?

The tribal NPP intolerant party that prides themselves to the high heavens as "true democrats who abide by the rule of law"
Very amusing!!!

It's very alarming!!!! You can imagine the way NPP acts even in opposition to their own members!!! What do you expect This tribal party to do to opposition members or behave if they come to power?

If these tribal bigots gets power and you go against them, they will acid bath you or skin you alive!!!

They are expelling true party members from the party because of divergent views. Ghana is not North Korea. We don't worship anybody in politics as NPP want Ghanaians to do.

So this behavior of NPP should be a DIRE WARNING to all decerning Ghanaians never to be deceived by their empty illogical noises that NPP will make Ghana a better place!!!

NPP is the worst party that ever existed in Ghana. My dear brothers and sisters ran for your dear life completely away from NPP the tribal party for your own good.

If you make a mistake and allow these tribal armed robbery, acid killer politicians to come to power, they are going to openly import a sizable quantity of acid into the country to roast anybody who disagrees with them.

Both Nkrumah and Danquah were Akans and does it really matter which one of them re-named our country? Ghana is now heavily in debt, facing high unemployment, falling exports, high levels of imports, high crime rates and countless other problems. Let us focus on urgent current problems rather than needless debates of history.

And there was nothing wrong for JB to suggest to Nkrumah about the name Ghana... It is like a citizen who came with an idea which is a common knowledge to his president knowing the disposition and caliber of his president.. The president knowing how he himself resist european naming of his people welcomed the idea, not that the idea was new but that is what a good servant can do for his master... But later out of jealousy, the servant turned into a foreign agent( because his master stood against federal states for his people during an ugcc meeting and prayed for unitary system that will make other people valuable like the british do to themselves-no difference between english men)....

Let the parot continues to sing sweet songs for our beloved JB. Noone found Ghana for Ghana was one of the oldest Empires in Africa who was defeated by Mali Empire. We should accept that the Gold Coast was named by Dr Kwame Nkrumah, following extensive History and Geography researches in Africa and India. Kwame Nkrumah first called the people of Ghana as GHANATA but was subsequently changed to GHANAIN on recommendation of President Nehru of India. A college in Adidome, V/R was baptised by a Mr AGUEDZE, as GHANATA COLLEGE( I believe that college is still there!).
Now is the time to talk about developments of MAMA GHANA, not how it came to existence.Both JB and KN and others of the Big 6 fought and gained the Independence of what is now Ghana, so let praise them. The sweet songs are Worth hearing but these are not necessary at this epoch.

Gary, I'm no die-hard fan of Nana Akuffo-Addo, nor am I an avid student of the English language. But the stiff attitude of the English or British to language usage, has been laughed off by modern times. You see the emergence of words like "Diss" being substituted for "Disrespect", and "words that don't mean nothing like Lupid" being suggested for words that mean something like "Stupid".
So the use of "Proudest" by "Akuff" or "Akuffo-Addo", may be the beginning of that word gaining currency in English usage.
The use of language is to communicate or to share, as suggested by the Latin "communicare". So, as long as we understand whatever the Nana shared with us, we'll be satisfied!

For a failed politician, it is amazing how much noise is made about JB Danquah. Danquah achieved nothing of significance for Ghana, unless one wants to count his traitorous behavior as an achievement.

The claim that he came up with the name Ghana is proof that he achieved nothing, otherwise his supporters will be pointing to something more significant.

The parents of a child names that child; they get credit for naming the child because while there may be many names to choose from, the parents make the final decision what the child's name will be.

So goes for Ghana. Nkrumah gained independence for Ghana and decided what the country 's name should be - he gets full credit for our country's name.

Not Danquah, who was actually actively lobbying the British to delay Ghana's independence. In fact if the British had listened to Danquah, we may still be a colony because Danquah's "independence in the shortest possible time" my never have arrived.

Nana akuff addo wants to be the president of ghana but he do not the history of ghana. nana what you are saying is not true. you cant twist our History. I have history book with the title: GENERAL HISTORY OF AFRICA. Unabridged Edition VIII Africa since 1935. After carefully read this history book, there was no page that mention your J B. DANQUAH'name. Just to mention a few the following were mentioned in that history book: JOMO KENYATTA-Kenya, JULIUS K. NYERERE-Tazania, KENNETH KAUNDA-Zambia and KWAME NKRUMAH-Ghana. If Africa History book since 1935 did not mention JB DANQUAH, then which history book will do that. NANA for information, the meaning of GHANA IS: GOD HAS APPOINTED NKRUMAH ALREADY. NANA dont forget that satan was using your uncle JB DANQUAH. PLS DONT POLLUTE OUR HISTORY.

According to I953 CPP propaganda, the meaning of the name GHANA as first introduced by NKRUMAH in a I953 motion before the Legislative Assembly is GOD(G) HAS(H) APPOINTED(A) NKRUMAH(N) ALREADY(A)!

They can accept him that way but he is so ignorant to agree that there are more renown scholars from other parts of Ghana far better than him and J B put together.He can only go on lying to his illiterate Ashanti/Akyem group who are ready to be listening to his rubbish stories.What sort of productivity has he and his JB uncle ever achieved for Ghana.

- Akyem JB Danquah did not "name" a thing; he was a murderer and a terrorist who ended up at Nsawam; he was of dubious character as this Akufo Ado himself

Our history shows that J. B. Danquah's work focused on fighting for hegemony of Akyim Abuakwa state while Kwame Nkrumah fought for the political interst of the chides and people of the Gold Coast/Ghana.

The concept of "Mate Meho" was directed at creating Akyim Abuakwa as a stand-alone state separate from the Gold Coast Colony for Odori-Attah to be its heads of state. Correspondence between Ofori-Attah and King George clarifies this view.

Nkrumah Never Dies.

What research does it require to give an old name that existed in history to a new nation. This copy and paste. Even if it was Danquah who suggested naming Ghana after defunct empire, how great does that make him as a person. Danquah failed his Cambridge entry exams a dozen times before he finally made it, yet people want us to name the University of Ghana after him. That buffoon was simply a criminal and deserved what he got. Then his nephews and grandchildren are every day bombarding us with cooked stories. What some of us are interested in hearing from his family is his involvement in the Kyebi murder case. A nation of morons.

These descendants of terrorists should stop lying to Ghanaians! If this man wrote so profusely, why would he forget to provide the genesis of the idea about naming the Gold Coast Ghana. As said elsewhere on this discussion, JB led a delegation to the United Kingdom to petition against the granting of independence to Ghana.

JB and his ilk were just too busy planning against the imancipation of black people from white subjugation to care about Ghana's independence. These crafty people believe they are royalty and should be the ones ruling Ghana. Tweah!

Even before independence the NPP/UPP/NLM group were causing sobbotage because they hated Nkrumah so much. Then after independence they intensified their goal of destabilizing the country through coloration with US and British intelligence to bomb and kill innocent citizens all in the name of a power grab. They succeeded in overthrowing Nkrumah in 1966. Did they and their military cronies make Ghana better?

The answer is a big fat NO! These folks who never built anything in their lives sold industries Nkrumah built to their cronies for pennies. What were the results, they run down these companies. The regimes of Busia and Kufuor were all bridled with corruption and incompetence. Kufuor even had the audacity to award himself gold medals for doing a good job as president. Look at that. After the millions of HIPC monies he left office with a costly Flagstaff House, George Bushe financed highway. What a sorry man who stole our money to build mansion at Aburi and elsewhere and to finance his son Nana's hotel acquisition.

Very soon they will be taking credit for the Akosombo Dam, Adomi Bridge, Accra-Tema motorway, Korle Bu, University of Ghana, KNUST, and numerous secondary schools and training colleges, just to name a few of Nkrumah's achievements etc. Kufuor even sold one of Ghana's most prized companies: Ghana Telecom built by Nkrumah for only $700 million because of corruption. Now we pay million in dollars in foreign exchange that is repatriated to the UK by the Vodafone conglomerate. Have you seen much investment by Vodafone? Ghana is just a cash cow to them! Free market without any strategic thinking about the type of country and economy we want for our people in a poor country like ours is a farce.

My long write-up is meant inform the uninitiated how NPP/NLM/UP tradition likes to take credit for what it didn't do? They are good on talk -- they are booklong but short on delivery!

Forward Ever, Backward Never (they even tried to steal this CPP Motto and Vision). What a useless tradition filled with useless ideas!

Serial Liar Nana CIA (Clueless Incompetent Akufo-Addo) is at it again, doing what he does best, telling shameless serial lies. The Danquah/Busia group's bashing of Nkrumah is born out of jealousy, knowing that their group, after independence, accomplished nothing for Ghana other than throwing bombs. Here is a flagbearer and his running mate, Bawumia, knowing that they have no concrete plans for Ghana, decided to come out with two books in an election years, books that are full of baloney, not to mention the serial lies galore. Danquah never came up with the name "Ghana". Clueless Nana CIA and his quack academic serial liar Okoampa-Ahoofe dementedly believe they can rewrite Ghana's history with their evil and misguided serial lies. They can lie all they want, but they can never rewrite the history of Ghana. All those who were questioning the Alan Kyeremanten camp within the NPP for labeling Serial Loser Nana CIA as an " incompetent and a monumental failure" can now see the truth uttered by the kyeremanten camp.
