Indeed Karma is really a bitch. Akufo Addo's statue was happily destroyed same way his family destroyed Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's one. Congratulations to the vandalists though.

Nkrumah’s arbitrary and dictatorial rule was terribly bad. How many people did he send to Nsawam Concentration Slaughter House including some who were his benefactors and who introduced him to Ghana Politics. He made Boakye Danquah go blind and died in Prison. Obitsebi Lamptey also died in Prison when Medical Doctors had recommended that the Guy was about to die and should be released. Because of Nkrumah’s wickedness, he allowed him to die in Prison and like Boakye Danquah was also buried in the Prison Cemetery at Nsawam. I am glad he was abandoned at Conakry, even by Fathia and her Children. He was also paid in his own currency. I have no sympathy for his death.

How can arrest of bomb throwers and those who were trying to kill Nkrumah be arbitrary? Are you one of the people who has been gaslighted regarding Ghana's Nkrumah era history? The lies orchestrated about Nkrumah by the stooge military regime guided by the antecedent NPP eventually lost credibility in Ghana and abroad thus cementing Nkrumah's legacy beyond anything they could imagine. As for Akufo-Addo no lies are being told about his unfortunate mistaken rule and his legacy will remain in the doldrums.

Nkrumah does not need your sympathy at all. He is the African of the Millennium and your little tribal bigot bomb throwers are way way beneath him.
Please ask why preventive detention was introduced way before even one party in 1960. I will not tell you just google the names RR Amponsah, Modesto Apaloo and Captain Ahwaitey and you will know the story. Just educate yourself.
Even as late as 2001 preventive detention was instituted in the US and UK( SO called democracies) in the face of threat to the security of the countries.

As for you and your nonsense, nothing can stop it...Nkrumah never arrested anyone who did not deserve an arrest.

JB Danquah never supported Nkrumah; instead, he harbored a deep-seated animosity towards him. He was so jealous of Nkrumah to the extent that he wanted him killed; finally, in his desperation, he became a CIA agent, all in hope of getting rid of Nkrumah. He described Nkrumah as a hyena when Nkrumah was doing good for the people.

JB Danquah, may his soul burn in hell, only desired tribal leadership in Ghana fueled by nepotism—no wonder his nephew Akuffo Addo did the same. What a shame!

Obetzebe Lamptey was not imprisoned by Nkrumah but was convicted as a terrorist by one of his own, Edward Akuffo. A whole bunch of cowards, hyenas, destroyers, losers, shortsighted fools, including your very self (Frank whatever whatever).

You are infused with the lies and propaganda of these traitors.

JB Danquah who was holding a paper to declare himself the interim president if amatewe's (may he suffer in hell forever) coup succeeded, deserves a forever imprisonment in Nsawam, both physically and spiritually. I am sure he is shouting agyei agyei agyei in hell right now.

REMOVE KOTOKA’S NAME FROM ACCRA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT!!!

Manneseh, how tolerant was Busia? He started a campaign of terror after losing elections in the first republic. You had not been born when Busia had the NUGS leadership appear in parliament to apologize for requesting an amnesty for Osagyefo! You had not been born when under Busia it was a criminal offense to possess books, images or an effigy of Nkrumah! Go and do proper research into the absolute intolerance of Busia!

Meanwhile Kotoka’s name at Accra International Airport must go!

Busia was right because he used the legal process he had. I used and read books by Nkrumah which were aimed at brainwashing Ghanaian children to be Soviet Socialists. If not for Kotoka and the rest, Ghana would have been worse than North Korea now. How many people can leave North Korea voluntarily or print something like what you have just posted? Nkrumah was a terribly terrible man and power drunk.

Small brain you are. You know nothing about Nkrumah and what he did for you ilk that today you foolishly sit the and spew nonsense. Nkrumah was never a communist- he was a socialist (difference).Yes he wanted one party rule ( under under parliamentary vote) so is china- a country that has moved 800million people from poverty - so was Lee Kwan u who moved Singapore from 3rd wld to1st wld. Your so called democratic UP when they took over banned CPP- why? Thought they were democrats? Or just hypocrites?It is not democracy that will elevate us Africans but good leadership- something that Akuffo addo , Mahama, kuffour , mills, jj never did under these pseudo democracy .

By the way what would you do to political opponents who executed plans to kill you? Wine and dine them? Please don't say Nkrumah was not tolerant of criticism. The 'Matemoho' people ATTEMPTED to kill him SEVERALTIMES. And indeed, didn't he die of cancers caused by those bombs? Who knows.

Manasseh, how old are you? Were you around when Kwame Nkrumah was overthrown? Do you know what were said about? When was the Kwame Nkrumah mausoleum built? In the 1960s and 1980s, did anybody think Kwame Nkrumah was ever going to be honoured? You might not agree with me but I can tell Ghanaians born and unborn are going to honour Nana Addo after his death. We are people who always honour the dead. From what I saw when Nkrumah was overthrown, I never Ghanaians were ever going to honour - time will tell.

Dear Manasseh, thanks for your piece with regards to these two great leaders of our land. Reading through your article/piece, I think Nana Addo Addo shouldn't be referred to as a great leader of our land but, I can tell based upon the Jesus and Nkrumah's analogies that, it's too early to compare Nana Addo to Nkrumah or Jesus. After some 20 years, you can compare Nana Addo to "our" Nkrumah and Jesus. I'm drawing this conclusion because, both Jesus and Nkrumah became very prominent some years after their deaths. Give posterity some time. You will have a different opinion about Nana Addo.

@The Kofi. After which 20 years? Haven't we all lived through and witnessed Akufo Addo's and Bawumia's super fantastically corrupt and ever lying and clueless governance. More of the hidden rot will come out in coming weeks and months but we've seen enough. For instance, the Akufo Addo family and friends stealing syndicate have stolen BILLIONS of Ghana Cedis through the SML scheme alone.

Is it the Akoko Nkitinkiti agenda 111 that became agenda 000?

There was no coup in Ghana when Akufo Addo’s statue was destroyed. How does that compare with Nkrumah’s? Condemn the act and let’s move on and put a stop to your shenanigans.

Kwame Nkrumah sacrificed Ghana for his ambition to become the leader of a united African continent. Kwame Nkrumah Ideological Institute in Winneba became a subversionist training centre for some radical socialist minded individuals to return to their countries and overthrow their governments who did not agree with Nkrumah's approach to the unification.
After his overthrow,there was enough evidence of amassing wealth to about £2m.
While Ghanaians were suffering for lack of food and basic necessities of life,he was trying to project himself as a global leader by getting involved with the fights of the two elephants.
After massive loans from the US,he quickly turned to the society for aid.
