JB DANQUAH AND THE OTHER LEARNED MEN BROUGHT NKRUMAH TO GHANA FOR THE PURPOSE OF INDEPENDENCE FIGHT NOT TO DRINK TEA. THEY WANTED IT DONE GRADUALLY BUT NKRUMAH, THE CROOK, RUSHED THE PROCESS.
IF YOU TELL US NKRUMAH IS THE FOUNDER OF GHANA, IT IS LIKE TELLING US FOOLISHLY THAT CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS DISCOVERED THE AMERICAS!!!!
BURNING SPEAR IN HIS MUSIC SAID CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, AS PRESENTED IN HISTORY, IS A DAMN BLASTED LIAR FOR SAYING HE DISCOVERED JAMAICA BECAUSE THE ARAWAK IDIANS WERE NATIVES AND FEW BLACKMEN WERE THERE BEFORE HIM. SAME STORY AS OURS!!!!

K4 must explain why these bunch of people were called the big six and on the currency’s. Why were they not on the podium during the independent declaration. Why wasn’t the people on the podium named as founding fathers but a bunch of traitors. Nkruma is the founding father of Ghana. When all the chips fall, Ghanaians and especially the Ashanti’s will see the true intentions of the party they have been supporting.

UGCC paid for Nkruma trip back to Ghana, nobody is disputing that. Who was paying Danquah’s salary then,because he was working for Paa Grant as a deputy secretary. When did the secretary rise his employer?. Talking of big six, why was Paa Grant not named but instead his employee, a secretary Danquah?. During the first election of 1952 how many seats did UGCC won, who were they?. UGCC was disbanded after the election of 1952 , what was Danquah doing ,because he was not a member of any party after that. Baffour Akoto, Dombo, Nii Boni and the Ewa chief founded the UP. Busia nor Danquah was not part of this group. When did Busia ,Danquah and Dombo formed their political party and which party was it?. And why was the founders of UP not part of the founding fathers. When did Danquah became a founding member of UP, because no Akyem citizen or chief was initially involved in the formation of the UP. Danquah never won any election in GoldCoast nor Ghana, in fact he lost the election to his nephew in his own home town. Danquah despised by his own tribes men after conniving with others to murder an Akyem who opposed the segregation of the Akyem tribes from been part of Ghana. Danquah was arrested by the British Colonial government for murder and was sentenced by a trial court headed by justice Akufo Addo, the current president father. Danquah was supposed to be be hanged for murder, but because he was an agent of the British, just like Busia, he was spared. So the question is when did Danquah became a power in Ghana politics and what part did he played?. The Akyem are good in hijacking the UP by making Danquah a founding member. Twisting the narratives of history and turning it into their advantage. When did a murderer and a traitor become a founding father Ghana.

Nkrumah is a Liberian and not even a Ghanaian.
Why the 5 others with him on the Dias if he is the only founder?
But no need to declare it a holiday.

Thee is confusion because of people's lack of knowledge of the English language. When we say the founder of a country we mean the first president of a country. The meaning of founder here is not the same as founder of a company or organization but to recognize the fact that someone led the country to independence. It doesn't also belittle the contribution of other people. Americans are happy to say George Washington was the founder of America but many American fought and died in the liberation struggle. Turks are happy to say Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was the founder of morden Turkey.
In any case the first of 1st of July wasnt a day for Kwame Nkrumah but the day the Queen of Britain signed into law granting republican status to Ghana. I dont undwersatnd why it should be changed. It was a republic day for all Ghanaians not just Kwmae Nkrumah

You are absolutely right my brother. Addo just want to create confusion trying hard to erase Nkrumah, which is so pathetic to say the least. Who is advising him at all?

The President is a very bitter man and it shows on his face . Discrediting Nkrumah has rather led to his failure as President. A very insecure human being indeed.

I agree totally. The Big 6 have recognition in other ways but this Aug 4 thing and the rhetoric surrounding it is so steeped in negativity of Nkrumah's legacy. I say this all the time that Akufo Addo has unbelievably ended up dividing this nation so much. I don't like his partisanship, alienating politics and belligerent posturing. Phew, I can go on till the cows come home. Bye bye Akufo Addo. Good riddance.

All these unnecessary holidays are affecting the size of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP). With all respect we should abolish some of them such as the Founders Day, Farmers Day, et.

We are not serious as a country with 13 nationally recognized public holidays. The next Government should revise and cut down the numbers of public holidays in the country.

Is it now that you have realized we are a bunch of confused people? We have been confused from day one of our independence when we accepted that the one who declared that we are independent gave birth to us and became our founder. This country was birth by bringing tribes and chiefdoms together by the white man and existed long before this man was born as Gold Coast. We now say he found us because he changed the name to Ghana ignoring our forefathers who also contributed to the building blocks. Why are we not confused when this same man gave us a national flag and put a black thing in the middle and called it black star when we have never seen any black star before yet we believe it and accept it. Why are we not confused when we accept that before this man and after there can never be any wise black man in the whole world. Why can't we be confused when we believe that no can achieve what he has ever achieved puting us in such a limitation psychologically that we can't do more than him. Anyone who is compared with him must be stoned. Are we not confused. Yes he's a great man by all standard but to elevate him above all black men is a confusion galore.

Are we not confused when we ascribe everything good to this man including things he never thought of doing including him building Kolebu hospital and the Flagstaff House all being colonial inheritance. When Kufour changed the name of the Flagstaff House to jubilee house come and see the serious opposition. Why? He wants to erase the heritage of Nkrumah when indeed Nkrumah never built that. And some who opposed it claimed to be professors yet never knew. Is that not confusion? Is it not confusion to see one man as the greatest among blacks when there's nothing like the greatest white man. Won't other race look down on us when they have uncountable great men and we have one greatest man sitting at the peak. Are we not confused when we tend to see this man as a demigod defending this mortal being like ourselves as so invisible and do this almost to the point of being worshiped. The alacrity by many to defend this man is so enormous if just a fraction is used to defend the Gospel of Christ many would have been saved. Infact we as a people are confused making mockery of ourselves aided by the white man by conducting a research to find out who is the greatest among us and we sheepishly accept the outcome and run with it including professors

Are we not confused when we adore this man who has blood of Dankwa and others on his hands as the greatest. Are we not confused when people who are screaming freely and insulting our leaders today couldn't have done that under such a dictator yet applaud him as the greatest. The confusion will continue unless we take emotions out of our attachment to this man and be very open minded and real to ourselves.

CPP is trying to become relevant in the political space again and the NDC is taking advantage of this trend. No one doubts the significant role that Nkrumah played in the attainment of Ghana's independence. However it has to be acknowledged that more than half of Ghana's population, that is, the majority of the population, will not accept Nkrumah as the sole founder of Ghana. Just as the majority will not accept the angelic picture of Nkrumah that CPP and like-minded people are trying to ram down the throats of the Ghanaian majority. Nkrumah was a dictator who threw his opponents into jail without trial and if he had not been overthrown and he was still alive he would still be the President of Ghana for his ambition was to be President for life.
