Some idiot once said “Na Kwame Nkrumah tan asantefour “
They were his major headache and still the problem of Ghana today.

He was left millions of pounds Sterlings by the colonial masters and nothing in our coffers after the coup. Our problems stem from him. Give me a break

Why did he leave the regional West African airways corporation to set up Ghana airways corporation. African unity advocate was he?. Not to talk of Wacri to CRI etc
No wonder people like you think it is worthwhile for Ghana to be stuck with the useless something termed Ecowas since 1975. Nkrumah was not a small boy to be tricked to devote his precious time to neocolonialist institutions ...

It was my good friend his Jerryship Rawlings w hip d the destruction and selling of all those companies.
Those which were totally run down were the ones he sold.
Ghana Commercial Bank, Agricultural Development Bank, National Investment Bank, PMMC, Distilleries, Ghana Atomic Energy, Ghana Academy of Sciences, Akosombo Dam, Tema Harbour, Tema Motorway, and the list goes on.
What a nation in decline!!!
Why the demise of these industries?1.They were not privately owned.2 Nkrumah put uqualified semi-literate individuals to manage these industries provided they were CPP yes men.It was a disaster from day one.
You are foolish paaa. Did they collapse under Nkrumah? Most of the companies like VRA, Akosombo, etc are still functioning very well even today.
(P)NDC intentionally run down and sold 210 out of 235 state enterprises. Perez dome was Meat Marketing Board.
Fact check: GIHOC was not set up by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, but by the NLC after merging some of the industries set up by the Nkrumah government.
Please Kwabenana Duku Damoah,bthe people that were heading the industries established by Dr Nkrumah were not illiterates and the industries did not collapse when Dr Nkrumah was in power. They were all running when ...

The only ''Wiseman'' God gave us.
Can anyone in Ghana or Africa compare his wisdom to that of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah?
You fools.
Can we ask AFRC/PNDC/NDC why they sold all these companies and where the money they got from selling them, including all the private companies they sold. Where is the money? Most of you were very young, some of you were n ...
