Nkrumah was a disaster. Africa leaders have failed the continent. Look at what is happening in South Africa. Black Africans can't rule themselves. Nkrumah lied to the world. Talk is cheap Africa leaders. Africa leaders are NOT leaders’ period. Galamsey has destroyed all our waters, and killed all the fishes in our rivers. Where are our leaders in the country? The country has become like animal farm. Chines and Indians are all over our villages and doing galamsey. Police who are supposed to arrest these criminals have been bribed. I don't know how to describe Ghana. Not a single institution is working. Black Africans can not rule themselves because of corruptions, lawlessness situations found in the country. 90% of entire citizens are corrupted including the police, judges, chiefs, ministers, DCEs, politicians. Corruption is in the blood of the citizens. The country has no future. Ghana is a very rich country GOLD COAST but, citizens are begging for common water, and food. WATER IS LIFE STOP GALAMSEY, CORRUPTIONS, AND MISMANAGEMENTS, and focus on industrial technologies like what Korea, Japan, and China are doing. Jehovah God has blessed the nation Ghana with abundant natural resources but the brains are not working. Africa must produce for them. You don't need to go to China or America to beg for food. Wise up Africa leaders

They are stingingly corrupt and inept, seeking to fulfil the desires of the belly. Remember the Takoradi lawyer who ganged up with the opponent of his client to swindle his own client? These are completely hopeless morons parading as lawyers. Nkrumah is already turning in his grave, seeing these corrupt morons colluding with a rapacious political and elite economic actors to dupe the state. These are corrupt bloody idiots parading as lawyers.

The legal profession in Ghana was not established by Nkrumah. It was there before he was born. How problem solving is Prof Atuguba himself?

This so-called Professor is a disgrace to his Profession. He talks as if he’s a saint. Professor, what have our Drs, Professors, Engineers etc done to make living conditions better for the Ghanaians society? Any problem solving initiatives by them over the years, other than Prof this Prof that! After creation, God gave man dominion over everything that has been created. What has the Black Academic done to improve upon the living conditions of his people? Look at the size of Gt. Britain. It’s slightly bigger than Ghana, yet everyone under the sun: Chinese, Russian, Brazilian, India, etc wants to live in this little ISLAND. Why? Because, their forefathers, thought about their country, defended the country, felt proud about their country and were ready to die for their country NOT the party. Their Academics used, and continue to use their BRAINS to solving problems of mankind. That’s why we have solar panels generating electricity but not complaining about “scorching hot weather” when we have Profs and Doctors with NO BRAINS at solving any problems. Professor Atuguba, just shut up in total disgrace.

Remember that Nkrumah was a dictator and a communist. His agenda was the lawyers from the University graduates in his communist and dictator agenda. So that they will support and defend his communist agenda.

Nkrumah had no respect for the rule of law. He dismissed judges who gave judgments not in his favour.

must elaborate and expand his statement.
Nkrumah was with secondary schools and the
Teacher Traìning Colleges. What institutions
were offering Legal education ? And better
still how many Law Shools did Dr Nkrumah
open? You people have no better agenda for
Ghana. Are you not exchanging Grades for
Bottom-Power ? Let people hear, Owura !!

Well, I don’t know about the behaviour of our current crop of Lawyers whether different from the previous ones. But have we beef really honest in finding the causes or the reasons or the truth leading to the Detention prevention Act during Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s government? Well, Mr E Madjitey the Commissioner of Police at that time went to Dr. NKRUMAH and complained bitterly about the behaviour of some JUDGES and Magistrates who fragrantly abused the bail system . Well, most of them were members of the opposition or sympathetic to the opposition who claimed to be the elites of our society. The criminals who were employed or sponsored to make the Country ungovernable were always given bail by these judges and these criminals went on reoffending in short space of time during their bail periods. Mr. Madjitey requested this preventative detention powers from Dr. Nkrumah who democratically referred the matter to our Parliament. The Preventive Detention Act was passed by Parliament to protect Ghanaian citizens. Anybody can check this from Hansard. So this unfortunate behaviour of some current crop of lawyers are not really New.
