A founder will be the originator and the starter of an endeavour. Kwame Nkrumah does not have that record as far as the nationhood of GH is concerned.

JB Danquah formed the UGCC to fight for independence but he did not complete it. He was compromised along the way taking bribes from the CIA giving the task of aborting the independence struggle. After Nkrumah fought to attain independence he and and his co-traitor, Busia went to the Queen to press for annulment of the independence.
When he failed, he wreaked violence on Ghanaians under his Matemeho campaiign of secession of parts of Ghana. Many innocent Ghanaians were killed in the process.

When we look at the picture of the podium on which Nkrumah declared independence, do we see JB Danquah? Akuffo Addo should answer this question. JB Danquah was a corrupt politician who was only interested in taking bribes and amassing wealth, like many politicians who hail from his part of Ghana.

Ben has Mr Mahama faced a challenger in an NDC primaries before? You can campaign for him because you support him. However it would be advisable to keep an open mind, otherwise you may be shocked to discover that there are more suitably qualified candidates in the party with the potential to help the party to win power. Don't put all your eggs in the basket of a man who led the party to defeat when he was the incumbent.

Mahama can't think far, only to loot and share so which of his executives can he accuse? One term President Mahama can be the founder of Volta not Ghana. Even, Mugabe can't be the founder of Zimbabwe.

Nkrumah was the legitimate president and didn't have to oppose anyone. What he did was incarcerate criminals, saboteurs who chose to destabilize a young and fragile country just because they don't share the vision of "Independence now concept". Be thankful to Nkrumah, you'll have been still under colonial rule till now like the Ivory Coast. Your uncles didn't know their left and right. That is still evident today through you and the rest.

There were others who championed the idea of self governance and through that pregnancy came GHANA. You can not equate Nkrumah with Jesus scenario because before the foundations of this world was laid, Jesus was. We must pay unflinching tribute to those that sat for the first time bringing the idea of independence. This is the only way we can eliminate jealousy and back bitten because credit will be given to all irrespective of what stage you can to assist.

Did Nkrumah start the agitation for independence?

Did Nkrumah put together the land mass called Ghana?

Within the land mass, there were also
tribes that voluntarily invited the British,ie to be part of the colony, to be a Protectorate. The colony extended only 100 miles to the Prah River at one point, the rest came in as Protectorates not all through conquest.

Founded means he created Ghana, the name Ghana is a legal fiction. Political leader at the time of independence, yes!

Ex President Mahama must define the word 'founded'. If he is using Jesus Christ as an example in his defence that Kwame Nkrumah founded Ghana, he must note that it is God who created the world and sent His Son to redeem the world. The 'Big five' made up of J.B. Dankwah and colleagues invited Kwame Nkrumah to come home when he was studying abroad to join the 'Big five'. After Nkrumah had joined them, we had the 'Big six'. The 'Big five' founded the Gold Coast Convention through which they were negotiating with the whites to hand over power to them (the United Party, UP). The struggle for independence had lasted for nearly one hundred years. It wasn't Kwame Nkrumah who led the struggle. John Mahama must study the history of Gold Coast very well. I have observed that any person who does not originate from the Akan tribe would not accept these facts, because mostly some other tribes don't like to hear that the 'Big Five' all were Akans.

DEAR H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA AND THE READING PUBLIC OF "GHANAWEB.COM",

IT IS A TRITE KNOWLEDGE THAT HISTORY ITSELF IS RECOUNTING OF PAST EVENTS AS A GUIDE FOR THE PRESENT AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS SO THAT THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST ARE NOT REPEATED.
THAT THE ISSUE WHO FOUNDED GHANA IS AS SAME AS WHO FOUNDED THE NDC?
THAT THE DISCOURSE OF RECOUNTS AND ANALYSIS OF THESE RELATED QUESTIONS WILL HELP US TO ANSWER THE QUESTION WHO FOUNDED GHANA.
THAT THERE WAS AN AGITATION FOR INDEPENDENCE AND IMPROVEMENT OF BETTER CONDITIONS OF SERVICE INCLUDING THE QUESTION OF COMPULSORY ACQUISITION OF THE LAND OF GOLD COAST AND TO BE VESTED IN THE THEN GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE OF GOLD COAST, THE ASHANTI COLONY, THE BRITISH TOGOLAND AND THE NORTHERN TERRITORIES RESISTED IT.
THAT LED TO THE INTELLIGENTIALS WHO WHO WERE MOST CONSERVATIVE LAWYERS STARTED THE UNITED GOLD COAST CONVENTION MOVEMENT KNOWN AS THE "UGCC" AND LATER ON INVITED THE LATE FIRST PRESIDENT OSAGYEFO DR.KWAME NKRUMAH WHO WAS THEN RESIDENT IN HARLEM, NEW YORK IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND MADE HIM A PAID SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE UGCC.
THAT ALONGSIDE THE LINE THE CONSERVATIVE LAWYERS WHO FORMED THE UGCC OBSERVED AND DETECTED THAT THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE UGCC WAS USING "COMMUNIST LANGUAGE AND ALSO FORMED CYO'S BEING YOUTH MOVEMENT WITH COMMUNIST AGENDA".
THAT THESE EVENTS SPARKED CONTROVERSY WITHIN THE RANKS OF THE UGCC WHEN H.E.THE LATE FIRST PRESIDENT OSAGYEFO DR.KWAME NKRUMAH DECLINED TO HEED TO THE ADVISE OF THE OTHER EXECUTIVES OFFICERS OF THE UGCC AND THEREFORE BROKE AWAY FROM THE UGCC AND FORMED THE CONVENTION PEOPLE'S PARTY (CPP).
THAT THE 1948 RIOTS CAME WHEN THE OSU ALATA BONNEY LED THE RIOTS AND THE BIG SIX WERE ARRESTED AND DETAINED. THAT WHEN THEY WERE IN PRISON THAT THEIR POPULARITY RATHER SWORE AND WHEN THEY WERE RELEASED THE EARNED THE TAG NAME OF "PRISON GRADUATES" ACRONYM "PGS".
THAT THERE WERE SERIES OF ELECTIONS HELD AND THE CPP WON THEM AND FIRST THE LATE DR.KWAME NKRUMAH BECAME THE LEADER OF GOVERNMENT BUSINESS AND LATER BECAME THE PRIME MINISTER OF THE NEW AMALGATED COUNTRY KNOWN AS GHANA.
THAT REST OF THE UGCC BECAME THE UNITED PARTY KNOWN AS "UP".
THAT WHILE THE CPP HAD ITS SLOGAN "INDEPENDENCE NOW" THE UNITED PARTY (UP) HAD ITS SLOGAN "INDEPENDENCE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE".
THAT BEFORE THE INDEPENDENCE ELECTIONS UNDER THE INDEPENDENCE 1957 CONSTITUTION IN 1956 THERE WAS A PLEBISCITE HELD UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE PEOPLE OF THE BRITISH MANDATED TOGOLAND DULY VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY TO JOIN THE BRITISH GOLD COAST, THE ASHANTI COLONY AND THE NORTHERN TERRITORIES UNDER THE NEW NAME "GHANA".
THAT THE STRUGGLES OF THE LATE DR.J.B.DANQUAH, THE LATE AKO ADJEI, THE LATE OBETSEBI LAMPTEY, THE LATE PRIME MINISTER PROFESSOR KOFI ABREFA BUSIA ,THE LATE CEREMONIAL PRESIDENT EDWARD AKUFO ADDO> AND THE LATE KOMLA AGBELI GBEDEMAH , THE LATE KROBO EDUSEI AND OTHERS CANNOT AND COULD NOT BE IGNORED OR UNDERRATED.
THAT WITHIN THE BRITISH MANDATED TOGOLAND THAT EFFORTS OF THE LATE AYEKEY, THE LATE ANTOR, THE LATE DUMOGAH,HON. HANS KOFI BONI AND OTHERS CANNOT AND COULD NOT BE IGNORED ALSO.
THEREFORE, THE QUESTION WHO FOUNDED GHANA CAN NOW BE ANSWERED IF OBJECTIVITY AS REASONABLE YARDSTICK WILL BE ADOPTED AS MEASURING ROD, THERETO.
HOWEVER, RESPECTFULLY< LEAVING IT TO THE BEST JUDGEMENT OF OUR DEAR PEOPLE OF GHANA AND THE WORLD TO ASSESS AND TO MAKE DETERMINATION ON.
THAT IN VIEW OF THE QUESTION WHO FOUNDED THE NDC AND WHO INVITED WHO?
WHY, THE REASONABLE DETERMINATION OF THE FOUNDER OF NDC WHETHER IT WAS THE AMONG THE FOLLOWING:
(i) H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT FLT.LT.JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS
(2) WHETHER H.E.THE LATE PRESIDENT PROFESSOR JOHN EVANS ATTA-MILLS
(3) WHETHER H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA.

THAT WHY THE FORMER PRESIDENT FLT.LT.JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS IF MY ASSERTION WAS RIGHT AND CONTINUED TO BE RIGHT AS THE FOUNDER WHO INVITED AND ALSO ADVISED THAT OTHER TO ALSO BE INVITED? THEN WHY HE WAS MALIGNED AND DISTANCED FROM THE NDC?
THAT AFTER CAREFUL ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF THE ABOVE ASSERTIONS THEN REAL LASTING PATHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS AND SOLUTIONS CAN BE FOUND TO RESOLVE THE NDC SELF INFLICTED PROBLEMS, THERETO.
IT IS THEREFORE< MY RESPECTFUL SUBMISSION THAT WE DID NOT ATTEND SCHOOLS, COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES AND POST GRADUATE PROFESSIONAL COURSES JUST FOR THE SAKE OF VAIN BUT TO USE IT TO SOLVE REAL PROBLEMS.
WHETHER, THE LATE FIRST PRESIDENT OSAGYEFO DR.KWAME NKRUMAH WAS RESIDENT IN HARLEM, NEW YORK IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
WHETHER HE WAS INVITED TO THEN GOLD COAST AND MADE A PAID SECRETARY GENERAL OF UGCC?
WHY HE WAS INVITED IN THE FIRST PLACE?
THAT A WORD TO A WISE IS ENOUGH !
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
