But fairness in public discourse should be automatic, before we get to "hind".
Adikanfo/Pacesetters thread where others have never threaded! Most of them never have to wrestle with formidable external enemies with more resources enough to buy the services of your own people who will then secretly plot to harm the new State. Enough to control the entire world!
And if today, we had the resources to educate the people and conduct a survey of all the people and positioned 2 paths:
- the Lee Kuan Yew Singapore model (equality for the average man)
- the current 2-party "virtual" revolving door (equality for the party man).
Then let's ask the people to look forward and tell us which one they will select/choose, freely.
ITEM: We have a whole series of articles from a so-called lawyer about a "Kludze", another lawyer, and the most important caveats were purposely left out - a sorry attempt to make fools of readers, we beleive!
Funny - We've discovered through the New York Times this "Kludze" is the same Kludze imprisoned by the Nkrumah regime for subversive activities against Ghana - facts Attorney Adjei Sarfo has conveniently neglected to provide so every ready can fairly assess the value of the entire "Kludze" testimony, as reproduced in 4 parts, this far.

Yours truly asked a great uncle - who lived in the Nkrumah days and was not a member of the CPP - to assess this trash reproduced by the bogus "Dokita".The old man said truth has been inverted by these "children of evil men who did not have the interests of all Gold Coasters at heart,and who killed innocent men,women and children like ISIS."
According to the old man(who was educated in Britain and US),the NLM/UP evil leaders almost made the Gold Coast/Ghana under Nkrumah ungovernable,and the President did the right thing in passing the PDA.After all,India(under Nehru), Malaysia(under Tunku Abdul Rahman)and Singapore(under Lee Kuan Yew)- all passed PDAs in their respective countries, immediately after their independence - to combat terrorism and assassination attempts.They all acknowledged that true development could not take place without peace and tranquility. Today,all the three former leaders are revered as visionaries and founders of their countries.
Sarfo,Sarpong,Ahoofe,Kobina Kennedy and other progenies of Mate Meho terrorists,can continue to rewrite history the way Goebbels propagandized for Nazi Germany.But truth will always shine in darkness.

It has now dawned on me that one needs to be a certified idiot like this Mr. SAS, Prof Busia, Dr Danquah, Akuffo-Addo Snr and the rest of them, not to understand the necessity and the need for Kwame Nkrumah - yesterday, today and tomorrow in the process of national, continental and global development.
If only 9 years of Kwame Nkrumahs 'dictatorship' created an unshakable and prolific infrastructure that has managed to sustain this country for over 50 years, in spite of all the exploitative gimmicks by the imperialist outposts such the World Bank, the IMF and their local stooges - the NPP and the NDC, what else do we need to inform us which principle to adopt for development?
For me I find it incredible that a person can be educated and be so stupid like this Mr SAS at the same time. If people like Mr SAS thinks that Nkrumah was bad, what does he think of the system that he lives in where niggers are now being used for target practice by the terrorist racist American police? Is Mr SAS and his fellow band of idiots aware that over 100 people are shot to death by the US police every month? And what does he think of this? Can anyone imagine the consequences if such terrible atrocities occurred during the period that Nkrumah was President of Ghana?

But are you Nkrumah-bashers blind, dumb, deaf or just plain stupid? The man is adored all over the world by meaningful and sensible black people as well as strangely, some white people who are also respected all over the world and an insignificant lout like you say people cursed his birth? Well yes, ungrateful people like SAS whose life as a Blackman was made meaningful by the Osagyefo, can say the kind of rubbish that he spews out every now and then.
I think one of the short-comings of the Nkrumah-bashers is that they are not sufficiently informed about the trends and the drift of contemporary world history.
I also think that they are not widely traveled nor broad-minded enough. All over Africa, Nkrumahs name is appended to major public institutions and sites. Even in Asia one can catch Nkrumahs name here and there.
Even in the US who master-minded his overthrow, many institutions refer to his books, teachings and unparalleled leadership qualities. Many Black institutions in the US have named public institutions after Nkrumah.
I ask SAS and his followers, is it because all these millions of people all over the world are daft and the three or four of you who have been vilifying Nkrumah on this platform are rather the wise ones? Has the world turned upside-down? What is it that makes it so difficult for you to discern right from wrong and to enable you to see that you have lost the plot? How sad.
The only societies or communities where one cannot find Nkrumahs name are those ones that enslaved Africans and colonized Africa and looted Africa for over 500 years for their exclusive development until Nkrumah stopped them in their tracks - and it is not too difficult to figure out why they obviously do not appreciate the good works of Nkrumah or for that matter any Black man. The unfortunate aspect of all this is that they are rather the ones who people like SAS and his cohorts look to for inspiration.

Thank you Dr SAS. In my reckoning this is the best feature article so far. That's not to say this would put the irrational Nkrumaism die-hards to an eternal sleep but all rational Ghanaians who never personally experienced the dark days of our political history would begin revising their notes after reading this . Very succinct and poignant.
I lived through much of the period of Nkrumah's dictatorship and I know with every atom of my being that this is a picturesque description of the political situation in Ghana from the time of independence to the overthrow of Nkrumah. When Nkrumah was overthrown the entire nation rejoiced. Why was there spontaneous rejoicing by every Ghanaian in every city, town, village, hamlet, in every nook and cranny if Nkrumah was the unique generational leader sent to redeem his people? Many of those extolling Nkrumah's virtues today are either zombiefied graduates from the Kwame Nkrumah Ideological Institute, the Young Pioneer Movement or people who are in their rookie year as Nkrumaism ideologues and neophytes who never had the taste of what life really was under Nkrumah's totalitarian regime. It was like all hells angels let loose on poor Ghanaians.
