    Prof,
    You forgot to add that it is these Danquah-Busia-Dombo (NPP) and the Rawlings traditions (PNDC, NDC) have destroyed the once beautiful and progressing Ghana. In fact these two traditions have denigrated the hope and as ...

    ADOM, I AM INCLINED TO THINK YOU ARE NOT TOO MUCH CONVERSANT WITH THE GOINGS-ON IN GHANA AS FAR AS POLITICS ARE CONCERNED. A SIMPLE ANALYSIS FROM 1979/1981 WHEN JJ RAWLINGS BURST INTO THE POLITICAL SCENE WOULD HAVE SHOWN YOU ...

    Nkrumaism is still alive. The problem lies in lack of funds in the Nkrumaist camps for campaigning.
    The Danquah-Busia tradition are notorious for corruption and looting from the national Treasury so over the years; they are ...

    Useless and uninformed comment. If you still believe in Nkrumaism, then you believe in fairy tales.

  • Sankofa 6 years ago

    Nkrumahism is more relevant today than when Osagyefo was alive.

    Do we not need African unity now more than ever? Do we not need to assert our African personality in the face of the onslaught from both East and West on our ...

    Nkrumah's Tradition Is "Ghana 1st". if indeed it's dying/dwindling then that is why we are still struggling.

    The ideology still lives on. Under his government education was compulsory and free up to university level and some of the beneficiaries include Nana Akuffo Addo. There were government established factories everywhere, 63 at ...

    Is this one too a Professor?

  • Odikro 6 years ago

    Some Nkrumahists tradition. That tradition would never have held water today. Those stupid socialist ideas are dead. They were dead before birth.

  • Adom 6 years ago

    Britain is a socialist country; is Britain dead? It clearly shows that you-Odikro are a block headed man who cannot think properly. If two traditions have been ruling a country and that country is sinking in all socio-economi ...

    Surely, Ghana will very soon become a one-party state. The NDC will also die off soon.

  • Cowboy 6 years ago

    The Prof. is right Nkrumahist tradition is not dwindling. It is rather dead. After the 1979 Coup de tat, most of the young Nkrumahists joined the AFRC/PNDC and till today the NDC. Personalities like the Ahwoi brothers,Totobi ...

    In this era of tribal politics, the CPP has to have a message supported by facts/figures to mount a comeback. At the present time, it is clear that most card carrying NDC and NPP folks do not know facts from lies or alternate ...

    The more relevant CPP can win again if its Nkrumahist values and mindset are allowed to lead the traditional Nkrumahist coalition. Strong education of the mass is needed and the current CPP leadership is too weak and fragile ...

    And that is why Ghana is going down,down,down. Nkrumaist tradition involves devotion to national development and selflessness which is unheard of these days.

  • OKOROMANSA 6 years ago

    THE RAWLINGS TRADITION WILL ALSO DIE EVENTUALLY. RAWLINGS CRIPPLED THE NKRUMAH TRADITION BY CLEVERLY DECEIVING AND MANIPULATING ITS TOP MEMBERSHIP. NKRUMAH'S TRADITION IS NOW ALMOST DEAD FOR EVER, AND RAWLINGS WILL FOLLOW IN ...

  • Sankofa 6 years ago

    Nkrumahism, is ironically, being promoted by the NPP, the Danquah-Busia tradition.

    Free education, one district one factory, one village one dam, all emanate from Nkrumah's educational and economic policies.

    IT IS THOSE WHO SEEK EVERY TIME TO USE KWAME NKRUMAH'S NAME TO GET POT OF GOLD AND BECOME RELEVANT FALSELY THAT ARE DWINDLING! THE REAL NKRMAHISTS ARE NOT EVEN IN THE SPILTERED GROUPING CALLING THEM SELVES NKRUMAHIST PARTIES! ...

    There is no one fighting to improve the living standard of the people. Unlike Nkrumah, every politician is motivated by money and material things. The sad part is that kings and student leaders who used to be the watch dog, h ...

    UNLESS THE NPP AND NDC WHO PLAYED NO ROLE IN GHANA'S STRUUGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE ARE SIDELINED, THESE TWO PARTYs WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE IGNORANCE AND INNOCENCE OF THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE TO RULE GHANA.
