Opanin Kwabena Mensah,
What is your point?
That Akufo Addo will not celebrate "Nkrumah is founder of Ghana" so, we must abandon that idea?
Do you understand that Akufo Addo benefited directly from the education and school systems established under Kwame Nkrumah?
Do you really understand the difference between a colony, a country, a state, a nation, Nation-State, and how they each relate to "independence"?
Tell us, which one of these best represents Kwame Nkrumah more than any other.

It is only those gifted with intellectual laziness wo would gift Kwame Nkrumah as the founder of Ghana.
To say somebody is a founder of something, you are making the claim that before him the subject or entity he associated with as founding did not exist. For example a piece of art cannot have existed before the artist who created it. Likewise a child could not have preceded his/her parents. The entity called Ghana was put together as a political entity by the British. Ghana did not crash land on March 6, 1957. Somebody handed the reins of government to Nkrumah on March 6, 1957 and even continued to exercise some control until finally July 1, 1960 when we became a republic. Kwame Nkrumah was a ward of the state called Ghana, just like anybody else, he did not found it.
If Kwame Nkrumah travelled on Gold Coast passport to a country called the Gold Coast, he could not have at the same time have created or founded it. Founding is equated with creating in this analysis. The constitutional elements that created the spatial space called Ghana today were laid when the Gold Coast colony, Ashanti and Northern Territories were laid in the early 1900s with its borders and emblems etc. Kwame Nkrumah never did any of this. If you are talking about the founding of the CPP, yes then you can say Nkrumah founded the CPP because he created it from scratch, but that is where it ends, he did not found Ghana, not even his hometown Nkroful, let alone Ghana. If Nkroful existed within the legal entity called the Gold Coast which became Ghana on March 6, 1957, with enforceable laws, Kwame Nkrumah could not have founded Ghana. The egg cannot precede the hen that laid it. Before Nkrumah was, Ghana or Gold Coast was. Only intellectual heretics and party hooligans of the CPP would argue otherwise. Maybe what they want to say is they were dummies until Kwame Nkrumah opened their eyes. Anokwampo!

Jesus said onto his disciple, "verily, I say onto you, before Abraham was I am!" Much the same way, before Nkrumah (a.k.a Kofi Nwiah) was born there was a Gold Coast. The British only handed over Gold Coast to Nkrumah and Gold Coasters. The only significant thing that Nkrumah added to Ghana, though, was the unmeritorious and regretful incorporation of Trokosiland into the then peaceful and superfluous Nation which would later become a Banana republic under the leadership of these murderous blood sucking Trokosi nationalists. Changing the name from Gold coast to Ghana does not suggest creation nor founding of a nation. What is significant to here is that, Ghana is still alive and vibrantly kicking under the authentic administration of the so called Asante-Akyim ma-te-me-ho kookoase leadership while the CPP which was founded by Nkrumah died with same.

By: Ekow Nelson
President Evans Atta Mills decision to honour our first President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah generated a lot of discussion on both sides of Ghana's historical political divide. Recently, President Akufo-Addo's State of the Nation Address waded into this debate by inviting us to discuss this subject with the aim of bringing it to closure.
Apart from a minority who are opposed to another public holiday, the divisions are over whether the proposed Founder's Day should be bestowed only on Nkrumah or be made Founders' Day, and extended to include the so-called Big Six who were arrested after the 1948 riots following the shooting and killing of three ex-servicemen.
The argument in favour of extending the President's proposed honour is predicated on the belief that the arrests of the then leaders of the U.G.C.C. and the establishment of the Commission of Enquiry into the 1948 riots under the chairmanship of Aiken Watson Q.C., was a watershed moment in our country's history and marked the beginning of the final journey toward independence. But is this credible?
From the end of World War II until the appointment of the Watson Commission, there was a slow but palpable deterioration in public confidence in the Government of the Gold Coast, among other things, because of soaring inflation and growing shortages of consumer goods. Farmers were dissatisfied with the policy of cutting-out cocoa trees ravaged by the swollen-shoot disease with no compensation. Ex-servicemen who had fought in World War II for King and country were not only given meagre gratuity; many experienced hardships similar to the general populace, despite their service. Neither the chiefs in the Joint Provincial Council nor the elite political class championed the cause of the growing mass of disaffected people and it fell upon Nii Kwabena Bonnne II, Osu Alata Mantse, to lead the agitation against increasing economic hardship and in particular, the inexorable rise in prices of consumer goods.
Just over a month after Nkrumah's arrival in the Gold Coast in 1947, this growing discontent found expression in the boycott of mostly foreign-owned trading firms, organized by Nii Kwabena Bonnne on 26th January 1948. The boycott continued for a month while its leaders negotiated price reductions with the government and the trading firms “the Association of West African Merchants (AWAM). However, on 28th February 1948 when the boycott was due to be called-off, ex-servicemen set-off on a march to the Castle to present a petition to the Governor. In the ensuing kerfuffle, the British officer in charge of Castle security, Superintendent Colin Imray, gave orders to open fire, killed three ex-servicemen gt. Adjetey, Private Odartey Lamptey and Corporal Attipoe and injured many others in the process.
News of the shooting sparked days of rioting in Accra by already angry crowds incensed by the high food prices, which they blamed on the greed of foreign merchants. Shops and offices owned by foreigners were attacked, looted and the violence soon spread to other towns. Faced with widespread disorder, Governor Sir Gerald Creasy declared a state of emergency. Troops were called out and police arrested the trouble makers. Leaders of the U.G.C.C. the so-called Big Six: J. B. Danquah, Ofori Atta, Akufo Addo, Ako Adjei, Obetsebi Lamptey and Kwame Nkrumah – were arrested and flown to the Northern Territories where they were detained for six weeks.
While it is true that both Kwame Nkrumah and Dr. Joseph Boakye Danquah addressed the ex-servicemen at a rally in Accra on 20th February 1948 where their petition to the Governor was drawn up, the leaders of U.G.C.C. did not anticipate or plan the 1948 riots which was triggered by a combination of public disaffection over rising prices and shortages, and the shooting of innocent ex-servicemen whose only crime appears to have been to petition the Governor.
After interrogating the accused persons, the Watson Commissioners concluded that Nkrumah was mainly to blame for the disorders. Curiously, other leaders of the U.G.C.C also blamed Nkrumah for the riots and some, including Obestebi Lamptey and William Ofori-Atta, ransacked his house looking for evidence that he was a communist.
So, isn't it rather breathtakingly hypocritical that while the U.G.C.C. leadership washed its hands off the 1948 riots and blamed Nkrumah for the disturbances that led to their arrests, 52 years on, their supporters wish to claim credit for triggering the process that advanced the march toward independence? Without the 1948 riots, it is unlikely the constitutional process under the Coussey Constitutional Commission (from which Nkrumah and the Trades Unions were excluded) would have been initiated as soon as they were. The reality though is the political protagonists who earned the sobriquet. The Big Six™ as a result, played no role in the events.
The other argument put forward by opponents of President Mills proposal is that prior to Nkrumah's arrival, the U.G.C.C. leadership had started the agitation for self-rule. It is worth, however, examining the motivations behind the establishment of the U.G.C.C. to test this claim. The formation of the U.G.C.C. was motivated in part by a detemination of what the Colonial Office described as a bitter group of politicians, led by Dr. J.B. Danquah†to seek revenge “over the hanging of the Kibi murderers.
According to a Colonial Office report on the disturbances in the Gold Coast, [t]he Kibi affair changed the pattern of Gold Coast politics. A number of Kibi people were tried for the ritual murder at the time of the funeral, in 1944, of Nana Sir Ofori Atta, Omanhene of Akyem Abuakwa. They were defended in a notoriously long trial by many lawyers led by Dr. J.B. Danquah and employed by their relatives. The bitterness of this family over the trial and the conviction of some among their relatives as murderers resulted in their instituting an uncompromising political campaign against the Governor and the Government. This group subsequently formed the hard core of the extreme nationalists who in August 1947 founded the United Gold Coast Convention.
It is far from clear that the immediate aim of the movement was to seek independence. In a letter to the Secretary of State for the Colonies Mr Creech Jones in December 1947, Sir Kenneth Bradley, officer administering the Gold Coast, argued that the motivations for the establishment of the U.G.C.C. had much to do with the personal ambitions of its leadership to supplant the Chiefs on the Joint Provincial Council in the power-sharing arrangement with the colonial government.
According Bradley, one of the [U.G.C.C.] immediate aims is to wrest power from the chiefs. Those leading chiefs of the Colony with whom I have discussed the Convention agree that this is the main immediate aim of promoters of the party; and they are somewhat disturbed by the party's activities. This assessment of the Convention present objective is borne out also by the reports of the meetings so far held. None of the leading chiefs of the Colony have been invited to take any part in the framing of the Constitution, nor has any approach been made to the Joint Provincial Council or the Ashanti Confederacy Council.
While it was clearly a nationalist movement, the U.G.C.C. was not national in reach until Nkrumah's arrival four months after its inauguration in Saltpond. As Bradley pointed out, its supporters were mainly in the large coastal towns of Accra, Saltpond, Cape Coast, Sekondi and Kibi the home of Dr Danquah, which was also the mainspring of the movement. The Watson Commission too observed that the U.G.C.C. did not really get down to business until the arrival of Mr Nkrumah on 16 December 1947 who was singularly responsible for broadening the appeal of the movement across the country.
The role and contribution of U.G.C.C. in the struggle for independence is not in doubt but to hoist it, almost exclusively, as the harbinger organisation for Ghana's independence struggle, is to overstate its role. It was neither the first nationalist movement in the Gold Coast nor the last; indeed it supplanted the Aborigines Rights Protection Society, which until then, championed the interests of natives of the colony. Like the Aborigines Rights Protection Society, the U.G.C.C was also supplanted by the Nkrumah's Convention People's Party “when it became a spent political force (as the some founding members of the U.G.C.C. said of the Society in 1947).
Ghana struggle for independence began long before the U.G.C.C. and the Big Six and there is a case for honouring all of those like Joseph Casley-Hayford, John Mensah Sarbah Nii Kwabena Bonnne II and William Essuman Gwira (Kobina) Sekyi, who have contributed immensely to our nationhood. But are we to believe that the likes of Obetsebi Lamptey, Ako Adjei, Edward Akuffo-Addo and William Ofori-Atta are more deserving than these stalwarts of 19th and 20th century Gold Coast only because they were part of the Big Six arrested after the 1948 riots? No!
The final leg of the argument against declaring 21st September Founder's Day is that Nkrumah was not the founder of Ghana. If anything Dr. J.B. Danquah was founder by virtue of proposing we adopt the name Ghana, his supporters argue. Although he was not the first to do so, it is true that Dr. J.B. Danquah sought to demonstrate in his paper. The Ghana Hypothesis that the inhabitants of the then the Gold Coast were descended from the first of the three major empires of Western Sudan. In a Colonial Office despatch in 1949, the officer administering the government then observed that Nkrumah's axial fantasy Ghanaland [had] been cribbed from Dr. Danquah. With some malversation of history and considerable recourse to mystical interpretation, Dr. Danquah demonstrated some time ago that the Gold Coast is the ancient state of Ghana. The romantic notion was enthusiastically received and much elaborated by local bards but it was Mr. Nkrumah who transformed it into a political conception. In other words, Nkrumah could have chosen not to take inspiration from Dr. Danquah's hypothesis but he complimented him by making what was a vague and ropey conception the reality that became the motion of independence tabled on August 3rd 1956.
In fact, Dr. Danquah's claim that there was a connection between the people of the Gold Coast and the ancient empire of Western Sudan was not original. It was the Rev. J.B .Anaman who first suggested such a connection existed with the Genewa Empire located near Timbuctoo whose capital was Ghanah. Much later, Lady Lugard, wife of the Governor-General of Nigeria Lord Lugard, pulled together evidence to support the claim, and even suggested that Ghana might have been modern Walata. Lady Lugard work was further developed by the Rev W.T. Balmer, Headmaster of Mfantsipim School, who argued in 1926 that Fantis, Ashantis, Ahanta and Akans formed part of the ancient kingdom of Ghana and popularised this through the history curriculum in schools. As Kimble indicates in the Political History of Ghana it was Balmer's account that aroused the interest of the young J.B. Danquah who realized political possibilities of the idea [i]n his Akim Abuakwa Handbook published in 1928. So Dr. Danquah was not the progenitor of the idea; he exploited the work of Lady Lugard and Balmer and even then, that was not his first choice: he much preferred and Akanland as the new name for an independent Gold Coast until he was reminded that not all people of the Gold Coast were Akans.
Still, when the time came for Dr. Danquah and Nkrumah's opponents to make the former's hypothesis a reality, he and the NLM opposition spurned the opportunity. In a memorandum on 29th August 1956 to the United Kingdom cabinet, the then Secretary of State for Colonies described the events leading up to the motion: he new Legislative Assembly was opened on 31st July, and on 3rd August the Government introduced its expected motion calling for independence within the Commonwealth. All the Opposition members boycotted the debate …and the motion was passed nem con. If there had been a vote, the Opposition could not have mustered more than 32 votes against the Governments 72. I must regard the motion therefore as having been passed by a reasonable majority.
The full text of the motion read as follows: that this Assembly do authorise the Government of the Gold Coast to request Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, as soon as practicable this year, to procure the enactment by the United Kingdom Parliament of an Act to provide for independence of the Gold Coast as a sovereign and independent State within the Commonwealth under the name of Ghana.That motion was not drafted by Dr. Danquah; indeed as noted Dr. Danquah's party boycotted the debate to request independence and to change our name from the Gold Coast to Ghana. He may have borrowed the idea from Dr. Danquah, Lady Lugard, Rev. Anaman and Rev. Balmer, but it was Nkrumah who christened the Gold Coast, Ghana.
The arguments against President Millss proposition from the UP/NPP side is not credible, especially when one comes to think of the fact that they presided over the golden jubilee celebrations and had eight years in which they could have honoured the ˜Big Six beyond having their portraits put in the new currency notes. Now they are attempting opportunistically to gate-crash President Mill bash for Nkrumah with rather weak and hollow arguments.
The current geographic borders of Ghana that integrate parts of what was Trans-Volta Togoland for example were negotiated by Nkrumah. It was Nkrumah who stopped separatists from dismembering and balkanizing the country as we know it. If the so-called Big Six had their way in 1956 Ghana would not look anything like what we know today. In its administrative structure, organization and physical boundaries, the idea of Ghana as we know it today is, by and large, Nkrumah's creation.

I am not a proponent of "Nkrumah is the founder of Ghana" but there are several faults in OYOKOBA'S logic.
By his reasoning either nobody founded Ghana was founded by the British. Either fact is not correct. The British put together Gold Coast and can be said to have founded it but they didn't put together Ghana. Ghana is a completely different entity from Gold Coast. Ghana is much bigger in area than the Gold Coast. Ghana was a nation state with an independent status which Gold Coast was not!
It is this Ghana that people are saying Nkrumah founded. Nobody is saying Nkrumah founded Gold Coast.
The only relevant argument that can be made is that Nkrumah was not the only one whose work counted towards the foundation of Ghana. But even his most diehard opponents will agree that his effort counted most of all. Oyokoba wants to deny even this.
Indeed, without the singular effort of Nkrumah, Ghana would have been a smaller country than it is now. J. B. Danquah is known to have been in favour of a smaller country made up only of Akan speakers. Danquah was also in favour of letting Trans-Volta alone if they didn't want to join Gold Coast - something Nkrumah fought tenaciously against. And without Nkrumah, Ghana would not have come into existence in 1957. Perhaps later but certainly not that year.
Yes, many helped to found Ghana and should all be remembered. But some people stood out of the pack and this honour goes to Nkrumah in our case.
Let us not pretend that Nkrumah's efforts were just as good as those of the others...
But some of us are really fed up with all this founder this founder that discussion. The whole thing is being marred by the old rivalries.

Cause-and effect relationships govern everything that happens and are the path to effective problem solving. It is an undeniable fact that majority of Ghanaians lack the sharpness of mind to configure issues of our day; they are shallow to say the least, and convoluted in their thought process.
Using a simple cause-and-effect principle, any intelligent person will conclude Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was the only founder of Ghana, our country not Gold Coast. To introduce Gold into the discussion is a total convolution of crass ignorance.
In the world in which we live, nothing happens without a CAUSE. It is under no circumstance the British who were milking this country to dry would have packed their bags and leave the country.
What then was the CAUSE? The CAUSE was Nkrumah declaring non-violent 'POSITIVE ACTION'? Who cabled the colonial office in London on February 29, 1948 in the heat of the riot demanding self-government and asking the British to set up a commission to supervise the transition towards independence? Over what issue did Nkrumah split with UGCC and what was the basis of Nkrumah forming his own party, CPP? Who called a constituent assembly on November 20, 1949 that attracted 80,000 representatives of over fifty groups? Answer the above questions and then come back.
There is a palpable evidence Nkrumah and Nkrumah alone founded the country we now know as Ghana. This is incontrovertible no matter how you slice it. But the typical Ghanaian bereft of all common sense and cognition let alone read to ascertain the facts.
Finally, who went to prison on account of the agitation for independence; certainly not JB Danquah or Edward Akufo-Addo.

For all you know what you described is a strategy Nkrumah used to gain independence.
Others also used their own method that was different from Nkrumah's.
His method worked for him to win the trophy but that does not mean that he was the only one who fought for the independence of Ghana.
You will agree that he competed for the position with others. That should tell you as a rational person that he did not do it alone. He changed the method but did not initiate the process.

Kwasi, what will you say if I tell you the Ghanaian and more so the African is predisposed to inveterate stupor? Since the beginning of time and space, the blackman has been the enemy of his own commonly know as 'black-on-black'. It is 'pull him down' affirmation in all of black enclaves around the globe, then we look around and apportion blame to white people for the lack of progress in our countries.
Why does the India sub-continent commemorate Mahatma Gandhi's birthday on every October 2 and declare the day national holiday in honour of Gandhi leading the independence struggle, and we in black African fussing over President Mills' national holiday for Nkrumah?
Here is a nation that lost a sitting President, John Atta Mills under mysterious circumstances and yet is keeping the cause of death of a President secret. Where in a civilized world will this happen? In a true civilized society, the outcry will be so deafening so much that those NDC crooks and criminals would have no choice but make public the autopsy report of the cause of death of a sitting President. Contrast our nation with Serengeti Game Park in East Africa where lions chase down wildebeest and kill it while other wildebeest stand and watch. Tell me, are we not the same as those animals in Serengeti Game Park?
From the slave trade era where we went to war among ourselves, captured our own people and sold them to stinking Arabs and European slave traders for useless things like mirror, liquor and salt without the slightest idea of what awaited our own people in the so called new world. In all of humanity, only Africans sold their own kind to another race - go figure!!! It is this same predisposition we find ourselves today - seeking to destroy our heroes. Does Africa have heroes, if not why is it so?

Now I ask Mr Kwabena this question. How do you contrast these to words: DEPENDENCY and INDEPENDENCY ? Ok. How about George Washington referred to as the founder of USA just by merely insuring the INDEPENDENCY of the USA (even though there were not 50 or more states as there's currently) ?
There has been a lot written about this issue that any reasonable and truth loving individual will not find difficult to decipher. So I will not waste my time to write some sensible responds to this stupid article.

Remember the Ghana Nkrumah is accredited with is different from what your tribal heros envisaged. It was Nkrumah who strongly convinced the northern territories and the Volta togoland to join the Gold Coast to form the Ghana we have as a nation. Many members of the so-called big six wanted a smaller country with the North and the Volta territories.

The other five were lost in action on independence day because they were afraid that the British will not allow them to visit England again if they break the racial law that prohibited Negroes from entering and congregating at the Polo Grounds.
Prof. Kofi Abrefa Busia was in London to tell the Queen of England that Ghana was not ripe for independence, since the British experiment with us has not ended.
The other five did not name the Gold Cast Ghana on independence day. It was Kwame Nkrumah who said that Ghana your be love country is free forever.

The Gold Coast, later named Ghana as suggested by JB Danquah on attainment of Independence on 6th March 1957, existed a Colonial Nation from 1844 and I'm sure Nkrumah born Kofi Nwiah's birth certificate in 1902 would have listed the Gold Coast as his country of birth when he left for the United States so how on earth could he have founded this country? Even the CPP Political party he founded was not the first of it's kind in the Gold Coast/Ghana so what are these blinded Nkrumaists talking about? Enough of this nonsense about a founder because we should not allow our well documented history to be subverted for one individual!!!

Danquah and his cohorts opposed independence all they to England with a petition to the Queen to stop our independence and they even boycotted the declaration.
How can you now come and say you contributed.These were saboteurs and nation wreckers not freedom fighters.They continued their opposition with the aid of foreign powers to destabilize the country and Ghana had remained destabilized till today.

Of course many Ghanaians dedicated their lives to free us from the colonial rule of Great Britain, but it was Dr. Kwame Nkrumah who on March 6,, 1957 stood at the Polo Ground, aided by the stalwarts of the CPP - Gbedemah, Botsio, Casely-Hayford, Krobo Edusei & others to lower the Union Jack. And this is a historical fact. This doesn't mean, however, that we shouldn't honour the Big Six for their services to Mother Ghana.
