Thankfully, the detractors of the great Osagyefo are being shooed out of the Flag Staff House permanently. Every effort must be made to ensure that they never come to power again. They're the cause of Ghana and by extension, Africa's present predicament. By their association with the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies, they did a great harm to mother Africa. Most importantly, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Africa's greatest personality of all time lives on; the man simply never dies!

To Zagarolo, all the names you mentioned hails from Akyem that often- touted sakawa tribe in Ghana. Now, you know those who were after the life of our first president.

The assassination attempt was sponsored by the parent parties of the NPP. Ametewee was just a useful idiot. Go back to your history books. Since independence, all the attempts to kill or overthrow Nkrumah have been engineered by the NPP parent parties. Analyses of Ghana’s political history by foreign writers are largely unbiased but those written by our own people are sad to read, to say the least. Not fit for purpose.

You are a filthy lair. Your hatred towards JB Danquah is too deep, and where did you get that information from? Look at the Kulungugu bombing, do you want to tell me that those arrested like Ako Adjei, Tawiah Adamafio and the rest were all bribed JB Danquah?

You know who Ako Adjei was and why would he be bribed to kill Nkrumah? If you are an independent minded person, try to wean yourself from those lies that has been passed down unto us.

Concerning the kulungugu bombing, who bought the flowers in which the bomb was planted, the opposition or the president's own party people? Now, think.

You are not seriously suggesting that Nkrumah’s CPP tried to kill him. Read the CIA report on the attempted assassination running up to his overthrow. Our history is unfortunately written by politicians who often don’t have any facts. The narratives coming from the NPP about Nkrumah is so appalling one wonders how they can come up with these lies knowing it hurts the country. Why can’t you look for the facts and accurate information of what actually happened. The NPP trying to insert their version of our history is criminal, to say the least.

You can’t sentence anybody with that word so leave JB Danquah out of this. Ctanhunu ara kwa. Nkrumah was his own enemy. Why did he make himself a life president? That guy was full of himself and very arrogant. Those who live be the sword die by the sword. Actually he was not intelligent to have have taken that stance. Nelson Mandela is today widely respected over Nkrumah because Nkrumah was full of hatred for others.

If he was so arrogant he wouldn't have helped ghana in the slightest and would rather keep all the money to himself but no he in fact helped by giving free education and built schools and univerisities for all, even though his biggest mistake was making the ccp a one party state that doesn't mean he was a bad leader far from it.

Why don't we have a national monument in honour of Salifu Dagarti at the kwame Nkrumah museleum for his heroism? He sacrificed his life for the nation. Such people should be honored.

Ametewee wasn't the mastermind behind his attempt to kill Nkrumah. The masterminds were Busia, J.B.Danquah and the CIA J.B.DANQUAH was caught with a prepared speech ready to broadcast to the nation to proclaim himself as the president of Ghana had Ametewee succeded to eliminate Nkrumah. This led to his arrest and incaceration in Nsawam maximum prison where he died of natural causes.

How was JB Danquah arrested with a prepared presidential speech ? Couldn’t it have been planted by Nkrumah’s notorious hatchet security? Who were the witnesses? Was Dr Danquah tried , even in a kangaroo court? So can’t you see? Can’t you read between the lines that Nkrumah used this god sent opportunity to neutralize his political rivals? Gullible minds!

You are a fool. In 1957, did Ghana have oil money? In 1964, J B Danquah was caught conniving with the CIA to overthrow our democracy. Dr Kwame Nkrumah was elected through democracy, J B Danquah stood for elections in 1954 at Akyem Abuakwa for UGCC, but his nephew who was a CPP won the Akyem Abuakwa Seat as an MP. CPP won 34 seats, Independent won 1 seat and UGCC won only 3 seats but still J B Danquah-who was not elected-decided to use the BULLET TO OVERTHROW Dr Kwame Nkrumah CPP. Because of jealousy and unpatriotic Akyem Mafia, took bribes, plotted with the CIA to betray Mother Ghana. Do not BLAME the SAINT DR KWAME NKRUMAH- He NEVER built a house or one room for himself. He was SELFLESS LEADER. If Africa DO NOT UNITE-there we are being told to become GAY before we receive any loans. Akuffo Addo and Ken Ofori Atta borrowed over £13 billion and looted, looted everything-hen we had to go to the IMF/World Bank because we defaulted on our loans and interest payments. Akuffo Addo put his family and cousin first before the National Interest in 2022. 98 NPP MPs went to see him to ask him to remove Ken Ofori Atta but he refused to see his Party MPs. Akuffo Addo is a DICTATOR-I blame MY PEOPLE-Ashantis. ASHANTIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE VOTED FOR THE AKYEM MAFIA TRAITORS.
What Development Partners? Are you real Mr FOOLISH FANTI MAN OR NZIMA MAN? Let me explain to your illiterate mind WHAT BEING GAY WILL BRING TO GHANA AND THE COSTS. The WHITEMAN WANT TO USE BLACK PEOPLE. GAY SEX BROUGHT HIV/AIDS TO THE WORLD. SO, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO GET IN RETURN FOR BEING GAY? WE WILL GET HIV/AIDS. AND WHERE ARE THE HOSPITALS AND MEDICINES TO TREAT US? THE COST OF TREATING HIV/AIDS AND THE SOCIAL AND GENERATIONAL COSTS FAR OUTWEIGH ANY BENEFITS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. YOU ARE A SHORT-TERM FANTI MAN. IN THE LONG TERM, GHANA WILL SUFFER IMMENSELY. THERE IS NO BENEFIT FOR BEING GAY. The white man sees black people as fools and followers of their STUPID culture. Have whites asked India or China to be GAY? My fellow black people-let us unite and feed ourselves. We should grow our own rice and tomatoes. The white man gives a loan and use another hand to take the borrowed money back through technical advice or assistance. We end up paying for the huge loans, interests plus the white man mortgages in the USA or UK.

Please James, in 1954, the CPP
obtained 71 out of 104 to win the election. The Ghana Congress Party formed in 1952 by the United Gold Coast Convention, CPP defectors and the National Democratic Patry won only one seat out of 104 by Dr Busia who defeated his cousin, C E Donkor, the CPP candidate by 11 votes. And in 1954, Okyenheneba lawyer Aaron Eugene Asante Ofori Atta of the CPP defeated Dr Danquah who contested on the ticket of the Ghana Congress Party in Abuakwa Central. Please it was in the first general election held on 8th February 1951 that the CPP obtained 34 out of 38 contested seats to win the election. In 1951, the UGCC won only 3 seats out of 38 by Dr Danquah, William Ofori Atta and Gerald Otoo Awuma.And in the election that gave us our lndependence held on 12, 17th July 1956, Dr Danquah who contested on the ticket of the National Liberation Movement was defeated by C E Nimo of the CPP in Abuakwa North. In the 1960 Presidential election, Dr Danquah who contested on the ticket of the United Party was defeated by Dr Kwame Nkrumah of the CPP
