The grenade throwers were CPP activists- Tawia Adamafio and Kofi Crabbe. They were tried and convicted. Are you saying Nkrumah tried and convicted his own people instead of the opposition bomb throwers?

Samia should take her time before completing her book just so that she does not twist some of the very weighty facts. Some of the heroic soldiers who defended the Flagstaff house are still alive and from what I have been told, they only surrendered to the traitors only after they had comepletely run out of ammunition. And that was long after Fathia and the children had been escorted out of the Flagstaff house to the Egyptian Embassy which is located just across the road. I am sure that VAG can help her out in this regard and more. It would also be interesting for her to make a roll-call of the names of all the traitors who colluded with foreign agents to undertake one of the darkest and most heinous periods in black African history. I commend her for her initiative.

Yes, and Nkrumah made himself President for life and Ghana a One Party State. He also had no Vice President and sentenced even his benefactors to his Nsawam Prison Concentration Camp. I very much remember the mass jubilations that took place in many towns, Villages and Cities in Ghana. Yes, there were even jubilations in Accra. He was a horrible dictator. Even Market Women and Teachers who were not Politicians openly jubilated like when Efo Jeremiah John Rawlings left the scene after NDC lost the elections.

If what Kwame Nkrumah achieved in Ghana, Africa and the entire diaspora in 8 years has not been equalled in the whole of Africa, 60 years after the undemocratic UP-NPP hooligans forcibly removed him from power on the basis of unforgivable lies, wouldn't you want to keep him in power forever?

If China, a one-party state could, without slavery, without the tyrannical and undemocratic colonization of more than half of the countries of the world and without the shameless, greedy and infinite resource looting of all those countries that suffered under colonial dictatorship, could elevate over 100 million of its Chinese citizens from abject poverty to middle class status in less than 10 years, you would be absolutely demented to continue to think - as you have been brainwashed to do, that the one-party system is bad especially against the backdrop of the insane chaos currently going on in the political terrain of Ghana.

As for the foreign intelligence-managed jubilation that took place the day Nkrumah was overthrown, you should admit that every coup d'état in this country and every other country around the world, has been celebrated by a section of its citizens. Even Jesus Christ was disowned by his own people during his time and put to death. You must be dangerously uneducated or mentally warped to be making such unenlightened analogies. You gotta wake up man. It's late in the day.

MUMBI SERAKI YOUR COMMENTS ON THIS PLATFORM IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO THE VULNERABLE. just now
It will be very good to sheave out the unwarranted comments on this platform by MUMBI SERAKI which is not good for public consumption.
No more unacceptable comments from MUMBI SERAKI. His comments about the prescribed ways of taking one’s life with directions as to how to do etc is uncalled for and should not be allowed and contenenced because this is dangerous for those battling with mental illnesses characterised by false perceptions and very poor mental judgement especially those experiencing suicidal tendencies and ideations.
MUMBI SERAKI should be searched , arrested and prosecuted for him to know the havoc and danger he is exposing such vulnerable people to.
I am happy I have not seen some of his dangerous comments he has been posting on this platform for every article after comments from which the general public followers.
Ghanaweb watch out for his comments and takes them off the platform before someone becomes a victim. I rest my case!

Go back to "school" and find out what happened before Danquah was incarcerated. And then if after that you can manage to disassociate yourself from dim-witted political organizations, it may help you raise your intelligence quota before you pass away because then, you will have a greater chance of making it to heaven where fools are not welcome.

Very much traumatising it was for little ones of your age to go through. The psychological trauma you went through for your ages was too much. Thank God that your mother was a Christian knew how to pray and put all the troubles you were going through at the time to God with faith in the LORD JESUS CHRIST. That was enough for your safety.
Dr Kwame Nkrumah was a visionary. Because of his vision some of us from far up the north in cottages not even from villages had the golden opportunity to go to school.
Many teachers were posted from down south- Accra, Volta , Western , Ashanti, Brong-Ahiafo regions etc to any part of the country. This made it possible for typical villagers like some of us to have had good education which my parents could not afford and not only that he made education Compulsory popularly known as “Kwame Nkrumah Compulsory Education”.
If was not because of this some of us would not have gone to school to be educated.
He had all the good economic plans catapulting the economy to remarkable progress only to be cut short by that stupid coup de-tat which has sent us backwards for many years.
Nkrumah , your father , Samia was God’s gift for Ghana.
We celebrate him as our number one hero.

The Second Coup was the betrayal and devious machinations against Samia by CPP members like political prostitute Yaa Gyantra and many others. The betrayal of Nkrumah hasn’t stopped. NDC continues to honour Kotoka. Mahama and Ablakwah are happy to be errand boys of Trump’s racist-imperialist dictates. Ibrahim Traore should be very wary of fake friend Mahama, who is secretly doing Trump’s bidding and engaging in secret deals.

Does it really matter how old she was? Your limited reasoning capacity suggests that you are a sympathizer of the Mati me ho terrorist group.

Most of the history about Africa that our weak academics use to misinform our children were written by foreigners - some of who have never ever been to Africa before. Academics and intellectuals elsewhere are today still writing books on the Roman, Egyptian, Chinese, Russian and Greek civilizations of many centuries ago. Go and ask them how old they are.

Poor kotoka was deceived by Afrifa to join him to overthrow NKRUMAH but when he realized that he used they killed him by the same people because of his tribe.That coup was mastermind by the CIA and the evil NPP. They lost every election against CPP so they collected money from the CIA and paid Afrifa and his men to overthrow Kwame Nkrumah.Kotoka was a scape goat and was insisting for election after the coup but they killed him.So after the military hand over the nation to Edward Akuffo Addo and Dr Busia because they think thus the only way they can get power. Thus was when state looting and captured started in Ghana. Within 2 year Edward Akuffo Addo loots millions of dollars buying properties all over Europe and America and in Ghana for his families and cronies.Akuffo Addo father was more criminal than his son.Thank God the military step in to save Ghana that time before those criminals sell Ghana. Samia we the sensible Ghanaians are very sorry about what you ad and your family went through. Children of those evils are still around with us , so open your eyes.
