No one can change the records that Dr. Nkrumah did everything for the independence of Ghana. When the saboteurs were seriously undermining Dr.Nkrumah at the time, who ever thought years down the line their children will like to change the records in their favour? No wonder Kufour has to give himself the biggest award.

DANKWA DIGGED HIS OWN GRACE IF DIED IN PRISON/DANKWA HIRED A POLICE MAN FROM TOGO WHO WAS EVEN NOT A GHANAIAN,POSTED AT FLAGSTAFF HOUSE SHOT NKRUMAH FIVE TIMES WHERE THE GUNMAN MISSED HIM NKRUMAH BUT BRUTALLY KILLED HIS AID SALIFU DARGATY.
INFACT NO PRESIDENT AROUND THE GLOBE WILL WILL FAVOUR SUCH STUPID ACTION WITHOUT ARRESTING A CRIMINAL LIKE DANKWA.EVEN HIS DEATH SHOULD BE REGARDED AS AN ARMED ROBBERS DEATH.2.DANKWA AND OTHERS DID NOT HELP FIGHTING FOR THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE COUNTRY GHANA/RATHER FOUGHT HARD TO GET RID OF NKRUMAH FROM THE POLITICAL SCENE.THREW BOMBS AT HIM/ KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE.
EVEN BEFORE KWAME NKRUMAH,S ARRIVAL THEY COULD NOT KNOW HOW TO ORGANISE THINGS KWAME CAME AND ORGANISED WELL FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE THEN GOLD COAST.

Moyo, you need to add the words 'alone' or 'single-handedly' when describing Nkrumah's struggle for our independence. Thus, Kwame Nkrumah single handedly won us our independence, 'wajiffatu sufuk' (the ink has dried up). In other words, full stop (nothing can change in the writings). And Koobaah, don't describe those who were against Kwame Nkrumah on our independence as just criminals, because they are not. They are TERRORISTS. Kwame Nkrumah chose to JUST imprison them because he was a cool, kind and soft hearted person. He should have burned them alive. This is the reason sometimes I admire Rawlings a bit - he knows what they need and deserve. Can you imagine 60 years down the line one of these terrorists is trying to change the history books in their favour - trying to reap what they did not sow. Lunatic junkie of a president!!

The long and short of it is that tribal loyalties and tribal hold on us will never allow true development to come to Ghana when a presumed UK-educated and president of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, could stoop to gutter level to spew tribal inspired crap at a time decency and reflection was required to prevail. The haters of Ghana has the corner market on foolishness and tend to feed off the ignorance of their brain dead foot soldiers nothing will stop anyone of that ilk from knowing when it is appropriate to indulge in political exuberance and when to act as statemen.

The fact that a Nana Akufo-Addo appointee would dare say that the president did not promise to trim the size of government at a time in Ghana when the government cannot pay civil servants on time, cannot pay its utility bills on time and has to borrow money to keep government essentials afloat show how deep ignorance rules in Ghana. To allow that kind of ignorance to permeate every aspect of the Ghanaian society is surprising since flag waving NPP party members are delusional enough to believe it is the party of intellectuals. The only way Ghana can shake itself from the slave shackles still holding firm on our individual and collective thinking faculties is when we let go the tribal foolishness that continue to hold sway on even our presumed best minds.

I ADMIRE BAGBIN BUT MUST POINT OUT HIS FALLACIOUS CONCLUSION HERE. THAT AKUFO ADDO SUPPORTED NKRUMAH AND NKRUMAH IS THE FOUNDING FATHER OF THE GHANA NATION ARE TWO DIFFERENT POSITIONS. AKUFO ADDO'S POSITION HAS BEEN THE MOST PRAGMATIC. WHEREAS HIS SUPPORT FOR NKRUMAH IS NO SECRET, HE ACKNOWLEDGES THE FACT THAT EVEN IF ONE THINKS NKRUMAH ALONE CONTRIBUTED 50% OF THE EFFORTS TOWARDS GHANA 'S INDEPENDENCE FOR ANALYSIS SAKE, YOU CANNOT MAKE HIM THE SOLE FOUNDER BY DOWN PLAYING SIGNIFICANT ROLES PLAYED BY SO MANY OTHERS INCLUDING PEOPLE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES, OTHERS WHO EMPLOYED NKRUMAH AS A FULL TIME SECRETARY AND PLACED HIM ON SALARY, ETC, ETC THIS MAKES SO MUCH BETTER SENSE

Nkrumah contributed 50% of the effort? Are you kidding me! Kwame Nkrumah single handedly founded Ghana (100% of all the effort). We all know that some people started it and called him to come and join them. But when he took over the mantle those people turned against him and against independence. So Kwame Nkrumah on his way to gaining us our independence was not just fighting on one front but two - on one front he was fighting against the colonial masters and on the other he was fighting against some local terrorists. And today a descendant of these terrorists wants to turn history upside down. How dare!

When you write something like this, bring the facts and figures so that everyone will understand your point...

Always people like you who claim, never bring facts... Intriguing

GHANA WAS FOUNDED BY GOD BUT NO ONE ELSE. THAT IS WHY SOME INDIVIDUALS BEHAVE AS IF THE COUNTRY IS THEIR PRIVATE PROPERTY. THE LIVING EXAMPLE IS Mr. RAWLINGS

Our elders have distorted history and Hon Bagbin is adding to it. Generations to come will blame our leaders for this. Which research credited only Nkrumah as founding father of Ghana?
