His vision was to create the United States of Africa and to run it like a soviet gulag. The fake Dr was a deranged bloody dictator who proclaimed himself Prezi for life. He bankrupted Ghana and his only way to hold onto power was through the culture of fear and propaganda.
Let's celebrate the brave soldiers who saved Ghana from the demented bloody dictator.

We will never forget Nkrumah's atrocities to Ghanaians. He decared himself President for life and without a Vice. The time came when his own CPP cronies and henchmen were not safe from his murderous antics of killing all poltical opponents and all those he thought were treath to his tyranny in Nsawam Prison.

He ran the country as if it were his personal property by controlling the press, judiciary, sports and everything. He even poluted the minds of children with his satanic young pioneers and nkrumaism. HE WASTED ALL OUR MONEY ON HIS MAD AMBITION TO BE PRESIDENT FOR LIFE FOR AFRICA. HE SINGLE-HANDEDLY GAVE TENS OF MILLIONS TO THE PRESIDENTS OF MALI & GUINEA TO ACHIEVE HIS MEGALOMENIAC AMBITION

Like all tyrants, he was toppled by force and the whole nation jubilated

You are such an idiot, a very sick mind indeed. On personal terms you and the entire generations of your family: past, present and future are not worthy to polish Dr Kwame Nkrumah's shoes. You deserve to live in your filth in Ghana. Thanks to Nkrumah you can read and write, drink treated water and enjoy the wonders of electricity. You should really thank your creator that it was not any of your corrupt minded party leaders who who led Ghana to achieve independence else you would still be walking from your village to the nearest town in Ghana. What a typical Ghanaian midset: ingratitude, self seeking, coniving, manipulative, scheming and plotting, sabotaging and conspiratoral and above all corrupt minded lacking critical and anlytical thinking. Refute the above if I'm wrong.

He hijacked the independence movement and brainwashed people like you to believe he singlehandedly fought the Brits to free ghana from colonialism. Wrong! The fraud rode on the back of others and jailed all who had opposing views after independence. Wake up, wash your face and you will see that under the veneer of propaganda rhetoric was the putrid mind of a narcissistic dictator who wanted to rule for ever.
God bless the brave soldiers who kicked his sorry a$$ out Ghana! Can I get an amen from you?

Industrially,KWAME NKRUMAH stood tall,among all African Leaders,and even some other Third WOrld Countries,in his era.
His woe sprang from nothing but unnecessary ambition to rule the whole of Africa,to the detriment of his own nation.
His system of governance,I never bought into it,because I witnessed it,from infancy.
Many of his policies were not pointing to unity in Ghana,but Africa.
What I hated as a child about NKRUMAH was his SCARF,that we were all forced into wearing,in such a hot climatic condition.He never had any clue that GHANA wasn't like RUSSIA with the coldest weather in the world,therefore that scarf was appropriate for them.
The YOUNG PIONEER MOVEMENT,was a total waste of time and our finances.
HIS COMMUNIST TACTICS AND TOTALITARIAN ,AUTOCRATIC,RULE wasn't something I never BOUGHT INTO.
There was no freedom of speech,therefore,he did whatever suited him best,even if it was impregnated with mistakes.
He was an opener but stretched it too much that,it became a burden on GHANAIANS.
If he might have bonded well with the other guys,who were in opposition to him,GHANA might have become A HEAVEN ON EARTH,BY NOW.

If Nkrumah was a fraud what do you call all the leaders that followed? It would have been enlightenment if someone like you had understood what the council said but then the capacity for understanding eludes even the best amongst us. As you have read from even this partisan Christian council, it is the inability of Ghanaians to agree to disagree as a civilized society that contributes to our inability to make progress.
For even in the United States of America some of the states wanted to be free from the republic. The same is true between UK and Ireland; these are lessons Nkrumah learned. And as the saying goes a fool is one who does not learn from past mistakes and or mistakes of other; Nkrumah indeed proved he was smarter than all of the other idiots holding PhD’s at the time who would think their PhD was a license to govern Ghana. Nkrumah knew that the people of his time who had learned from the colonial masters that being in the opposition obligates one to stifle progress decided that a unitary system would eliminate the stupidity that immature multiparty system would bring. He has been proven right because our multi-party system has led to tribal polarization and party discourse only fit for uncivilized countries but for which we practice. A unitary or unicameral system did not forbid people from voting their conscience in parliament. Whoever you are, kenkey warriors, there were Ghanaians getting training in USSR and Ghanaians in Russia today as we do in every socialist communist nations of the world. So as you hypocritically blame Nkrumah at the very least you could begrudgingly give credit to his smarts; the United States of America, the greatest nation on earth derives is richness, power and intellectual prowess because of the mineral, natural, economic and human resources each state brings to the republic. The same is true of the Caucuses that make up Russia, or China and other emerging market nations. Nkrumah was ahead of his era and no amount of hatred from intellectually inferior Ghanaians and outside agitators will relinquish that flame. Ghana is dead because of people like you cannot measure up to the following sets of questions or standards from a Christian songwriter:
If you do not contribute to the development of Ghana then who should?
If it is not me then it’s should be you; If it is not now then when; If it is not here in Ghana then where
We all bear a responsibility in wiping the pain on the faces of Ghanaians because we are the salt of the earth within the confines of a shinning nation on a hill.
You must love Ghana in its current status then and that only enplains your thought processes.

Nkrumah ran the country backward. He damaged the economy irreparably, jailed his political opponents, capriciously removed his own acolytes from power and tenaciously nursed the delusion of a continental African Union with himself as the dictator. The only positive development in his rule was his removal from power.

So Mr. or Ms Kay, he is 'stupid' just because he did not say what you wish he should say. There you are. That is exactly what he is talking about. If you don't agreed with something you can also state your opinion instead of refusing to think. We are not animals ok. This kind of diehard attitude is lazy politicking. The Reverend is hoping you will change your ways. Remember you want development not who says or does what. It is also a fact that, Nkrumah tackled polorisation and it was let loose after the likes of you helped the CIA overthrow him to please you sponsors so you will stay better than others. It is so greedy how a few people in Ghana wanted to remain the rich and the elite. Boko haram would have been staring you in the face by now. Lets be civil.

IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO VISIT THE ORIGINAL.LETS GIVE CREDIT TO THOSE WHO DESERVE IT AND SHUN EMPTY TALKS THAT DESTROY OTHER PEOPLE

WHEN ALL HAS BEEN DONE WE CAN BOST OF WHO WE ARE.
THE SO CALLED DEVELOPED COUNTRIES ARE STILL DEVELOPING. THEY HAVE NOT GIVEN UP IN THINKING AND CREATIVITY THERE IS NOTHING LIKE COMFORT ZONE IT IS AN ILLUSION.DEVELOPMENT IS A PROCESS AND IT REQUIRES CONSESUS IN DECISION MAKING.

STOP BOASTING AND THINK FORWARD DON’T DESTROY OTHERS TO GET POWER.

It's a slow day in a little town in Ghana. The sun is beating down, and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.

On this particular day a rich tourist from Nigeria is driving through town. He stops at the hotel and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.

As soon as the man walks upstairs, the owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer.

The Guinea Fowl farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.

The guy at the Farmer's Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit.
The prostitute rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner.

The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the rich traveler will not suspect anything.

At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, picks up the $100 bill, states the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.

No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the Ghana Government is conducting business today.

The Church has been very influencial in Ghana since the Gold Coast era till date. Yet, one need not put on compound lenses to see the downward trend taken by most Churches today. As light if all we give is darkness, then great is that darkness. Nkrumah was overthrown for reasons most Ghanaians readily accepted, and had situations improved, his name would be mentioned with curses attached. Is Nkrumah the only right thinking Ghanaian ever to exist? Can't the Church learn from the quakers and the early reformers? If the Church believes The Lord Jesus is coming back, why are they keeping all their monies with Banks whilst children of Christ begs for bread from satan, and the banks rather uses those monies from the children of God to run their businesses? Is it lack of faith in God? Insensitivity? Selfishness? Greed? OR Irresponsibility? Is it not possible that the cost of 4 jets owned by one pastor can employ over 5000 youth of that country just to clean their cities? what if all church funds are directed towards economic upliftment of the nation? Should the Church put all the burden on the government??? Christ Jesus is the PERFECT example to follow, not Nkrumah, for many people supported his overthrow in Ghana. If we lack wisdom, lets ask God, and be willing to live righteously, not selfishly. Praise God.

I do not not believe this Rev. Minister is speaking for the Christian Council. I am surprised in the first place that a Christian Council exits in Ghana. Where was the Christian Council, when after the death of President Mills in 2012, the Ndc government and party aired television and audio programmes which sought to depict the late president, sitting on the right hand of God. Did the Council raise any protest to this sacrilege? And this is the very foundation of the Christian faith.
The secretary talked about Nkrumah vision, what vision? If the Secretary is so thrilled by what he calls a vision, he must head for Zimbadwe where a living advocate of Nkrumah's vision is president.
Political polarization, yes, we all cannot think alike and therefore cannot belong to the same political party and yet we are all Ghanaians. In Nkrumah's time, political opponents suffered prison sentences unjustifiably and even death. Is it what the Secretary of the Christian Council wants us to go back to? Stunted growth? The secretary must read the economic news of Ghana with an open mind.
If the Secretary cannot be bold to point the ills of this government he will do well not to draw the opposition party into this mess.

The problem with your comparative presentation is that you did not present anything your beloved Gaddafi did relative to Nkrumah. The second problem is that Gaddafi gained power and ruled his people at the point of a gun that brings about death and destruction. Think Oppong because your British masters ruled over your ancestors not from classrooms but at the butt of a gun, chains and whips. You do realize you still talk like one with shackles on the brain. For some of you in the UK cleaning feces at nursing homes for money are your daily rituals yet you will not do the same for your own kind in Ghana; you're so polished. In a few years to come you and your kind will arrive in Ghana with all the bells and whistles you've acquired from your slave-like existence and expect Ghanaians here at home to kiss your you know what because you served your master well; you poor wretched soul.

At the time of its independence, Botswana was among the world’s poorest countries, even poorer than most other African countries.[7][8][9][10] Khama set out on a vigorous economic programme intended to transform it into an export-based economy, built around beef, copper and diamonds. The 1967 discovery of Orapa’s diamond deposits aided this programme. However, other African countries have had abundant resources and still proved poor.[7]

Between 1966 and 1980 Botswana had the fastest growing economy in the world.[11] Much of this money was reinvested into infrastructure, health, and education costs, resulting in further economic development. Khama also instituted strong measures against corruption, the bane of so many other newly independent African nations. Unlike other countries in Africa, his administration adopted market-friendly policies to foster economic development. Khama promised low and stable taxes to mining companies, liberalized trade, and increased personal freedoms. He maintained low marginal income tax rates to deter tax evasion and corruption.[10] He upheld liberal democracy and non-racialism in the midst of a region embroiled in civil war, racial enmity and corruption

Rev. Dr. opuni, polarization is in the church also. Church that supposed to be universal and demonstrates God's love for one another. Unfortunately, that love is only shown in a pretence at sunday church service and christian council is doing nothing about it. If the christian council can embark on preaching depolarization to christian and instil their hearts with God's love and make sure that, polarization is totally eradicated from the christian dome, Ghana will be 90% polarization free, because Christians are the dominants of the country and occupies most of the institutions in which polarization takes place in the country including those that Rev. Dr. Opuni mentioned. Rev.Opuni, you can honestly agree with me that senior most pastors in the country including founding fathers of charismatic churches and members of Christian Council where you reign as secretary allowed themselves to be bought by politicians. Pledging allegiance to political parties instead of God. In fact Rev, you have a point but I think the message of polarization should first be tackled in the Christian council and the churches. Ministers of the gospel should be told to stop turning pulpit to political podium. Our leaders have vision but just that the greater part of their vision is not working for the nation. And also I think ,with the issue of polarization, the country needs to under goes over hauling especially Christian council and the churches. God Bless Ghana.

Instead of setting up an institution to govern Ghana successfully by implementing and interpreting the supreme law of the land to eliminate corruption and greediness,our intellectuals have crossed legs and folded their arms crying for Nkrumah like he is coming back from his grave to rule them.shameful people!

Those who see Ghana in a standstill position since Dr Nkrumah's overthrow must be suffering from lack of vision (in other words, they are blind).
The Christian Council occupies a very privileged position and must not play to the gallery.
Political polarization is very much the creation of our own constitution and we must accept it and manage it proficiently. 48 years after the overthrow of Dr Nkrumah, I don't think the Christian Council is proposing a one-party democracy with a life president as Dr Nkrumah established leading to the imprisonment of key opposition members which in-turn prepared the grounds for his own overthrow.
There is always that trapping for those who don't want to make present sacrifices for their future development to look back into the past as being better than their present realities. It is like the ancient liberated Israel wishing for life in slavery in Egypt as against the reality of having to journey through the wilderness into the promised land.
There is no human system that can make different people always agree on issues. In fact, multi-party democracy though it appears chaotic, is the most peaceful human approach to political power. It will be a more chaotic situation to ask the opposition to be part of government. Remember, the opposition's ultimate aim is to be on top of power not to play second fiddle to anyone. That is why our democracy need influential non-partisan bodies like the Christian Council to moderate the excesses of the politicians.

For,till we see ourselves as Ghanaians and not as a particular ethnic groups like a Northern,Ewe,Akan etc etc,We will Continue to be on a Bridge to nowhere.
A Political Party which has won elections to form a government should lead in that direction/Crusades to appoint equal number of people from diverse ethnic background to the Presidency and all Public Office.
2.Again,a Political Party in Government Should be Humane to Give Out a Fair Share of Contracts to Anyone Who Qualify, irrespective of his Ethnic Background or Party Affiliate.
These two (2) major Changes is the only way Which Could bring or bond us together as one people(Ghanaians) with a Common Destiny.
That is the way forward.

Between now and the time we turn 60, three years from now, our nation Ghana should be ruled by a non-party administration to tackle the intense political polarization that is currently tearing the nation apart, a direct result of the decision that followed the Supreme Court petition. We are lucky to have men and women of integrity, foresight, and great wisdom, patriotic enough to turn things around.

The lack of vision started with Nkrumah. His vision was a blurred one. No wonder after a few years in power he was confused and started seeing everybody as an enemy even those in his own party
