POINTED COMMENTARY ON THE KWAME NKRUMAH RECORD BY PROF LUNGU:

"In six years, between 1960 and 1966 (when Nkrumah was overthrown) Ghana's Gross Domestic Product Per Capita increased 47%, from $181.00 to $267.00 (7.83% increase each year). Thirty (30) long years after the overthrow of Nkrumah, between 1967 and 1997, Ghana's Gross Domestic Product Per Capita had increased just 80%, from $214.00 to $386.00, representing a meager 2.6% increase each year), Prof Lungu.

NOW READ KWAME OKOAMPA-AHOOFE!

READ:
"....It is...instructive...that none of the...coup d'états have been staged by any other than bona fide members of the Ghanaian military. Granted, some rascal civilians...staunchly backed regressively Darwinian means of political access, including a world-renowned...former prime minister (Busia). Interestingly, in July 1956, when President Nkrumah's...CPP...won a landslide victory... Busia rode herd on a delegation to the British office in London, to petition the British Crown, and...colonial overlord, to desist from granting the already-scheduled return of Ghana to self-governance. Fortunately... Busia and his right-wing bourgeois reactionaries did not succeed. (Busia)...however, succeeded ten years later in backing the military junta that unseated the Nkrumah administration and facilitated the precipitous devolution of Ghanaian national destiny....\
BY
\....Indeed...Ghana's major and...only international airport is named for...Kotoka....outlaw who spearheaded the grossly unimaginative overthrow of the constitutionally elected government of the CPP... Mr. Rawlings, whose...parentage is purported to be Scottish, presided over the dastardly kidnapping and summary execution of three Ghanaian supreme court judges, all of whom belonged to a single ethnic nationality....Needless to say, the 1966 Kotoka-led coup initiated the barbaric, neo-colonial military dynasty that Ghanaian continue to suffer….\

\... In fact, many of the most vociferous civilian opposition party leaders, some of whom are currently sitting in parliament, representing misguided and hoodwinked constituents, are known to have collaborated with Kotoka's so-called National Liberation Council to unseat President Nkrumah. It is also significant to observe that these...(Busia)...rascals and executive...muggers continue to dominate whatever passes by the name of "the legitimate opposition." This state of affairs, coupled with a largely under-educated and under-informed electorate, has made it almost impossible to rectify the prevailing socioeconomic chaos ravaging...(Ghana)...” (Dr. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe's testament for the CPP and Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was taken from “SOUNDS OF SIRENS: ESSAYS IN AFRICAN POLITICS & CULTURE”, Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr (2004)," courtesy Atakora-Mensah, Ghanaweb, 2015-04-15 13:21:28).

Comment to: The Surgeon’s Corroded Knife: A Horrifying Tale

-----NOW THIS:
"...Could the doyen of Gold Coast politics, Dr. J. B Danquah be right when he reportedly said Ghana is not worth dying for?..."

WE SAY:
We imagine this. If even J.B. Danquah said that in 1965, the same year he died in prison, that would still be just 8 years after Ghana was Ghana, after Ghana became independent.

STILL SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

They just can not accept JB played a minor role and that Nkrumah suffered and stood by his people when their JB and the rest chickened out.

Nkrumah spent the longest time in prison and that is where he fought from when JB and the rest went back to their lucrative deals.

After all, it was not about Ghana they fought for but how to further enrich themselves.
Nkrumah will always come first in our hearts.
Ahoofe forgets his ancestors intensified their bomb throwing after the British left.

Nkrumah moved on acknowledging Ghana's independence was meaningless unless the whole Africa is liberated while they were busy dragging Ghana down with their subversive activities.
History has not and will never forgive them despite how hard they try to raise their ancestors over Nkrumah.
While he sought people's freedoms and peace, they sought family wealth and prestige and like I said yesterday, their off springs are still with us doing the same self thing.
IF NKRUMAH WAS A COLOSSAL, JB WILL BE A MERE DOLL IN MY SIGHT.

It is said religion and science must go together for the welfare of mankind and i say simple plain common sense , justice and science must always walk hand in hand. Not so long ago scientist using DNA analysis were able to prove the DNA of the Pharaohs of Egypt was identical to that of the sub Saharan people of Akan and also they practiced the culture and tradition of Matriarchy which plainly proves Akan are the true chosen people which we all already knew. The blue print for nation building as designed by God for every nation is in the Bible and recommends we dont mix with the philistines or other wicked people such as pepeni/ayigbe Sodom / Gomorrah least we suffer the fire and brimstone of retrogression , nor should we worship their golden calf of islam that can only bring bad-luck to our efforts of modernization and development. We all know the true reason why Acheampong and others were killed because knowing this they had begun the process of separating our blessed people from the menace of the ayigbe and later on the pepeni criminals. Seeing that they would loose their bread basket of free money they decided kill and brainwah the minds of our people with a FAKE revolution as the best way to hide a crime is to do it in the open . Corruption is now in the open and fools ignore this wickedness saying everyone is corrupt yet they piss in their pants at the thought the outsider Nana coming in. We have the law of the country hijacked by constitution written by minorities to ensure justice and freedom for the Akans can never be regained except by war. We have a govt which effectively denies the majority Akan true participation in the processes of a govt by the people and of the people since 70% of all appointees are pepeni northerners who hide behind their incompetence to ensure their true agenda of the devastation of the Akan economy. We have had Pharaohs, kings , paramount chiefs and all kinds system of state organizations through the millennia and now its time to get rid of all these useless Judas Iscariot traitor chiefs and their 30 pieces of V8 treachery that burden us and create a true modern state based on the positive experiences of progressive nations , so its now time for true democracy born in the blood of war as has been the case of all prosperous nations. Nobody can hide the true light and destiny of God's chosen people the Akan no matter the skinpain envy of the useless wicked idiots around and within us .We charge you to investigate the truth for yourselves and not be swayed by the noise , lies of the brainwashing propaganda as they only lead to doom and disgrace. Rather enter the light of wisdom , justice and freedom if not for yourselves but for future generations .We recognize the truth only because God put it in our hearts even before we are born . Do not allow fear to be your guide but rather have God in your heart and be courageous to fight even in the bloodiest of wars as no matter what we shall be victorious. Do not turn away or be blinded by the darkness of the evil , God has ordain we be a nation so arise with the clarion call for battle and do not allow them to finish the process of making us slaves in our own promised land of milk and honey. Many of you here are witnesses to the threats of their juju men and their national security forces who promised to destroy , kill or arrest me for speaking the truth but this whispering voice in the wilderness of pepeni/ayigbe corruption , wickedness and evil can not be silenced but rather grows louder . Yes we shall fight them in the hills and valleys but will never surrender as thousands will see the truth and join the battle for true freedom . we are all witnesses to thew fact that for over 50 years starting with Kotoka and followed by JJ's revolution we see there is not a single prosperous or wise Akan family of intelligentsia that has not suffered , or been persecuted leading to the dispensation or exodus of our most talented or blessed sons serving other nations in exile . The spawn of Satan following this ndc have secured the theft and think they will succeed in denying the will of God through the people in a peaceful ballot but we know they do not know God is with us and they will be booted out no matter what , we prepare not for elections but for the freedom fight of war. Their games of divide and rule by pitting the Ashantis/Twi speakers against the other Fanti speakers has failed and will never triumph again as we are now one , long live the republic of Akan. Yes the battle for freedom does not end with npp gaining power but rather the total freedom of all Akan people both here and in the ivory coast together with the return of our refugees from the diaspora.

This ignoramus and a thief from Serkwa bushtown is taking ghanaians for a ride with his demented statements. This man is sick in is head. What happened to your brother"motobro?". Except horns that are missing form your heard you would be taken for an antelope. If the NDC regards this caricature-of-a-man as their party's secretary general how dare them talk about the size of who could and could not be the president of this country? They must be ashamed of themselves for such uncivilized and illiterate comments abbout people's heights. The maniac Rawlings made this same stupid statement some years ago. Delve deep into world history and you will discover that the greatest achievers like leaders and inventers were not giants.

Kwame Nkrumah is universally acknowledged as great. History has been kind to Nkrumah, not because he wrote it, but because he shaped it. Nkrumah shaped history beyond the shores of Ghana. Nkrumah was a true patriot, unlike Danquah the traitor.

A man was having problems with premature ejaculation so he decided to go to the doctor. He asked the doctor what could he do to cure his problem...

In response the doctor said, "When you feel like you are getting ready to ejaculate try startling yourself". That same day the man went to the store and bought himself a starter pistol. All excited to try this suggestion out he runs home to his wife.

At home his wife is in bed, naked and waiting on her husband. As the two begin, they find themselves in the '69' position. The man, moments later, feels the sudden urge to come and fires the starter pistol.

The next day, the man went back to the doctor. The doctor asked, "How did it go?". The man answered, "Not that well...when I fired the pistol my wife shit on my face, bit 3 inches off my penis and my neighbor came out of the closet with his hands in the air!"

THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS THAT UGCC WHICH IS THE OF SHOOT OF THE NPP WAS THE MAN WITH THE STARTER PISTOL.
NKRUMAH WAS DOING A GOOD JOB BUT HAS TO HIDE AND DO IT.THE BRITISH DOCTOR HAD NO CURE BUT HAS TO LISTEN TO THE MAN WITH THE STARTER PISTOL.

Dr. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe you've put your filthy foot in your funky mouth this time. There is not a single writeup of yours that gave Nkrumah credit for anything and when you have strained your hateful pea brain you've made yourself a stupid blackman. If any achievement of Nkrumah should be credited to the supervision of some white man somewhere then what do you think and say of your kinfolk J. B. Danquah and Nana Akufo-Addo who have been brain washed to think only white ideas and ideals matter?

You don't say that you chose English and Creative writing because its the only subject matter a self-hating Negro think will get you closer to masser do you?

Ahoofe exhibits a classic case of Academic dishonesty because this same article first appeared in Ghanaweb on October 5 with 10 comments. Today's article has all the October 5 comments deleted and replaced with 17 completely new ones, why? An attempt to slant comments to favour Ahoofe's point of view and political lens, may be? Talk about a phoney.

I still maintain that... "there is no doubt you (Ahoofe) need re-education when it comes to our history and you can take the very first step by reading Prof. Lungu's: "J.B. Danquah the groomer for dummies", a Ghanaweb feature article of October 3, 2016.

Dear Kwame:

There is a fine line between truth and lies. You have so far never convinced many that you are a truthful person AT ALL.

Writing should be about conveying truth to liberate the mind from unrighteousness. What you do here is to constantly take people who LOVE NOT truth and praise their heathenism. Then, you take the righteous and paint them with a coloured brush of sin.

Your writings are a sheer waste of valuable time that should be put to better use.

Sincerely,
Apostle Mawuetornam Dugbazah
Righteousness is essential for a nation to go forward.

The REAL FACT is that Kwame Nkrumah was, is and shall ever remain the FOUNDER of the modern nation of Ghana. The JB Danquahs and all the prominent opposition that you want to include actually said that Ghana was not yet ready for independence and but for Nkrumah's insistence and agitation with the popular support of the masses, we would not have attained our independence at the time we did. Please let us give credit where it is due. If you could not finish the race for whatever reason, do not expect to be given a medal or try to share the glory of the eventual winner.
