    Indeed, he had his flaws but he also made his mark and it is fitting that he is so recognised.

    But Kwabena.. you can not throw away the baby with the dirty water. Whatever the flaws, we must honour our past leaders.

    Kwame Nkrunah was a self-proclaimed messiah who declared himself President for life and made Ghana a one-party state. He was the only President in history who never had a Vice President because he was a mad and murderous dict ...

    IF YOU LOOK AT GHANA WE LIVE IN TODAY, YOU WILL ONLY TAKE OFF YOUR HAT FOR BUSIA. HIS APPROACH TO INDEPENDENCE WAS THE BEST.GO AND READ HIS SPPECH A FEW DAYS BEFORE INDEPENDENCE AND COMPARE TO NKRUMAH'S

  • KWABENA OHEMENG,LONDON. 12 years ago

    Are you saying all our past leaders need to be honoured?Even those who have worked against the interest of the nation?I hold a contrary view.

  • BRAVEBOY 12 years ago

    Yes! Kwebena because he served the highest office of our land. This why we have to put good people in power because it affects us beyond our borders, yet once in power or after service to the nation, we must honour them becau ...

    The man had no leadership qualities and lacked ideas

  • Yes, we can! 12 years ago

    His 'bombs' at Nigerians living in Ghana reverberated so profoundly triggering Nigeria's retaliatory expulsion of over a million Ghanaians in the now infamous 'Ghana-must-go' (GMG) saga under Shehu Shagari!

    A parliament that is only concerned with increasing its pay and awarding itself undeserved benefits, privileges and perks cannot be expected to speak the truth.

    This praising of Busia by the NDC/NPP illustrates their historical links to the NLC. Busia was appointed to the NLC Political Committee in June of 1966. The NLC was a neo-colonial military dictatorship. His party lost seve ...

    GOOD GESTURE. IF BUSIA HAD BEEN FROM ANOTHER POLITICAL IDEOLOGY, THE NPP WOULD HAVE WRITTEN ALL MANNER OF ARTICLES WHY TRIBUTE SHOULD NOT BE PAID TO HIM.

    Nkrumah should have waited for the British to put in all the structures like akosombo dam, motorway, korle-bu etc. Hence our present predicament.

    Best political policies from him. Ghanaians would have been living in paradise if Busia had stayed on for even 5 years.

  • avola lartey 12 years ago

    Busia devalued the cedi by over 40% in less than a year, for no reason but just to satisfy the IMF/World/CIA cabbal. There would have been no Ghana if Busia had stayed for even 4 years. Why do you think the military overthrew ...
