  Nana was right. The independence movement did not start with Nkrumah. As an Engineering student in a polytechnic abroad, I was made to pick up courses in Outline History of Africa, World Civilizations and History of Technology, The history of Nok Culture, etc. In my history class, I read that independence movement actually started after the World War I. The African soldiers who fought alongside the British in trenches realised that the Whiteman is not next to God after all since they witnessed the whites dying miserably besides them and that wiped away the fear and respect accorded to them. Secondly, the humiliating defeat of the Brits by the Japanese in Singapore also raised questions about the superiority of the Great Britain. Other defiance activities like the Aba Women's movement and media warfare waged by veteran African politicians like Nnamdi Azikiwe, who was then domiciled in Accra, and JB Dankwa all contributed positively to the independence of Ghana and Africa as a whole. To isolate Nkrumah and bestow on him the sole achiever of Ghana's independence is very erroneous. I never attended any university but I think universities in Ghana are not teaching our youth well.

  Nkrumah was brought to GH politics by the leaders of the UGCC and that cannot be wished away and for Nkrumah to be designated as 'the founder' - false properganda

  The legacy our politicians have bequeath to us is corruption. All this was learnt way back in school when children of the politicians who later became politicians themselves would not study their books but run around in cars acquired with illegal wealth doing "dada ba" enjoyment.
  There will not be an end to corruption in Ghana unless cheating in school exams is made unattractive.

  The background of the student should be part of the criteria, I mean which school he attended which facilities were available what hurdles were jumped. If we do probably the best performing student might not have had an A in any subject but would have made the best effort.
