The allegation / insinuation, without a shred of proof, that Nkrumah stashed money in a Swiss bank is nothing but a most sinister fabrication in a long list of attempts to defame Nkrumah, this time under the spurious cover of some exoteric discourse on “Afro-centricism”.
For all the grand pretentions to some philosophical opus magnum that Kwarteng has been orchestrating on this forum, the fundamental underpinning of scholarly endeavour is evidence, proof which one can back any assertion with. When did hearsay become sacred writ to be quoted exempt from scrutiny? Kwarteng did not need to wear the mask of his confused identity polititricks of “Afro-centrism” to join long-dead fraudsters like Ackah-Blay Miezah in the gutter of Nkrumah defamation.

Hello Readers,
Anybody who has issues with the facts I cite here may write to Dr. Molefi Kete Asante, Dr. Zizwe Poe, and Dr. Vincent Mbirika, or talk to Samia Nkrumah for additional details.
The facts are discussed on Youtube (in a conference). I provide all the links below. Go to Youtube right away if you can.
Finally, the person, the defendant, in charge of the stolen diary sued Dr. Mbirika, the plaintiff, in a US federal court for 2.7 trillion US dollars (2.7 TRILLION US DOLLARS)!
However, after listening to the case the presiding judge ruled in favor of Dr. Mbirika, directing the defendant to release the stolen diary to Nkrumah’s family. Listen to Molefi Kete Asante, Vincent Mbirika, and Samia Nkrumah discuss this issue before the entire world.
For those who want to have intimidate knowledge of the controversy, please watch the following conference on Youtube (three parts):
Part l: Dr. Molefi Kete Asante
Kwame Nkrumah's Diary Retrieved (part 1)
(www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBbBP3eMk9I)
Part 2: Sir Vincent Abukuse Mbirika, PhD (Knights of Africa/Knights of Africa) Nkrumah's Diary Retrieved (part 2)
Mr/Mrs Community College Professor, please watch the conference on Youtube and when you are done contact Samia Nkrumah, Zizwe Poe, Vincent Mbirika, and Molefi Kete Asante for further details. Do this and get back to me. All the facts are there.
I am waiting.
My email is (franciskkwarteng@yahoo.com).

Sadly, the Obama administration has rejected calls from the National Association of Black Journalists to investigate the assassination of Malcolm X citing a lack of resources. Who killed Malcolm X? Who killed Patrice Lumumba? Who killed Martin Luther King, Jr? Who killed Paul Bogle? Who killed Toussaint L’Ouverture? And who nearly killed Kwame Nkrumah, Marcus Garvey, and Nelson Mandela?
Could it be possible that the descendants of those who actually crucified Jesus Christ and Osama bin Laden may have been behind these assassinations and attempted assassinations?

Some think our problem with Arabs and Europeans started with slavery in the 15th century, but it's much longer than that.
Every persecution against the Hebrew in the bible was us. When the Romans banned every Hebrew black smith from making a weapon and a tool to farm with, that was us.
Every civilization we created and libraries that we created were deliberately burned down and looted.
The Vetican has a massive loot in underground fortress with 24 hour guards security. You ask yourself what the hell is it that they are guarding.
We have a group of conspired enemies who knew our past and history more than we do ourselves.
For thousands of years, there was no other race of civilized people but us, or what you will call today a Black man.
We never for once thought the earth was flat, that if we ventured out, we might fall off into abyss of hell.There was no hell in our languages that was for the Jonny just Come lately. The first HU (black) man on earth moved freely and occupied each space according to how YAWEH made him to act.
Those who wants to kill us off knows that our assertiveness and power means they have to play second fiddle to us.
The white man is using a eighth of the power of the black man and for the black man trying to learn from this man means he the Black man has to reduce himself to a lower form of a man to enable him to grasp, and even if he does,for the fact that this reverse learning is not in tune with the way the black man is wired spiritually, and therefore against YAWEH's intention for the Black man, nothing he may learn from the white man who diluted Black man's philosophy,astronomy,medicine,government,military and royalty in order to master it, will ever work for him the Black man.
Note that what ever we can do freely without him in the picture is very hard for him to do unless he water it down and devalue it from its divine and spiritual uniqueness.

For this array of informative essays you regularly submit on Ghanaweb to be fully appreciated, it needs a permanent shelf spot in the textbook section; therefore it must be compiled, published, and then made accessible to Sixth Form and college students of sociology and/or political science. This they will digest and readily exploit for the benefit of Black self-determination.
If we mean to rejuvenate progressive Black Nationalism, put an end to the demonization and/or assassination of our leaders like Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela, Fidel Castro, Muammar Kaddafi, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Patrice Lumumba, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Stokely Carmichael, Rev. Al Sharpton and all other historical figures who dedicate their lives or contribute largely to our Black Cause, if we mean to expose Africa’s enemies and their dirty conspiracies to undermine our efforts in our self-governance, we must rally round the concept of TINA (This Is New Africa) -as Fuse ODG calls this creation – absolutely in all facets that complement our communities, culture,our own stories, our politics, and our economics.

Genetic tests reveal that a hunter-gatherer who lived 7,000 years ago had the unusual combination of dark skin and hair and blue eyes.
It has surprised scientists, who thought that the early inhabitants of Europe were fair.
The research, led by the Institute of Evolutionary Biology in Barcelona, Spain, is published in the journal Nature.
The lead author, Dr Carles Lalueza-Fox, said: "One explanation is that the lighter skin colour evolved much later than was previously assumed."
Scandinavian links
Two hunter-gatherer skeletons were discovered in a cave in the mountains of north-west Spain in 2006.
The cool, dark conditions meant the remains (called La Brana 1 and 2) were remarkably well preserved. Scientists were able to extract DNA from a tooth of one of the ancient men and sequence his genome.
The team found that the early European was most closely genetically related to people in Sweden and Finland.
But while his eyes were blue, his genes reveal that his hair was black or brown and his skin was dark.
"This was a result that was unexpected," said Dr Lalueza-Fox.
Scientists had thought the first Europeans became fair soon after they left Africa and moved to the continent about 45,000 years ago.
"It has been assumed that it is something that happens in response to going from Africa to higher latitudes where the UV radiation is very low and you need to synthesise vitamin D in your skin. Your skin becomes lighter quite soon," explained Dr Lalueza-Fox.
"It is obvious that this is not the case, because this guy has been in Europe for 40,000 years and he still has dark skin."
The bones of the 7,000-year-old man were discovered in a cave in Spain
The hunter-gatherer's genome also gave the team an insight into how humans had changed as they moved from foraging to farming.
The early European would have subsisted on a diet of mainly protein, and his DNA reveals that he was lactose-intolerant and unable to digest starch. The ability to ingest dairy projects and starchy foods came after agriculture was adopted and people changed what they ate.

It will be very interesting to see how general this result is across ancient pre-agricultural Europe”
David Reich Harvard Medical School
Commenting on the research, David Reich, from Harvard Medical School in the US, said: "The significance of this paper is that it reports the oldest European genome sequence reported to date - the first European genome sequence that predates the appearance of agriculture.
"The dark skin is a very interesting finding, as light skin is nearly universal across Europe today. These results suggest that the light skin seen across Europe today is a development of the last at least 7,000 years."
He added: "It will be very interesting to see how general this result is across ancient pre-agricultural Europe once additional genome sequences become available."
Early results of research that Prof Reich has been involved with were recently published on the biology preprint website bioRxiv.org and a paper has been submitted to a journal.
He has looked at the genomes of several hunter-gatherers and early farmers in Europe. This work suggests that present-day Europeans derive from three ancient populations of early inhabitants of the continent.
