The legendary Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, the BIIIIIIG ONE who was voted for by both continental and diasporan Africans as the greatest African personality of the last millennium indeed never dies.
When Nelson Mandela was asked how he feels about Nkrumah being voted as the greatest African personality of the last millennium ahead of him (Mandela) coming a distant second replied, "Do you know who I voted for"? This speaks volumes.

Nkrumah was a great leader, and we all agreed to that. But Nkrumah was the only president among Ghana Presidents inherited Ghana with a credit balance of 600 million pounds stealing when the population of the country was a little over 5 million. What others don't want to talk about, or don't know is when Nkrumah was overthrown, the country was broke and this has also contributed to our present economy situation. Nkrumah was a great leader for Africa but not Ghana.

Check how much Nkrumah spent on development projects and how much he spent on helping fellow Africans to gain independence. Part of what you are saying is true but he never personally benefited. He never owned anything. Compare him to the new crop of politicians we have now. He was great also because of the fact that he wasn’t corrupt. Do you remember the stolen gold bar and how reacted to it?

DONT SPEW NONSENSE TO OUTWITT OUR YOUNGER GENERATION. NKRUMAH ALONE COULD NOT FIGHT FOR GHANA INDEPENDENCE. IT TOOK. GREAT MEN AND WOMEN TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL. NKRUMAH WAS BROUGHT FROM LONDON BY AKO ADJEI BY THE ACCEPTANCE OF JB DANQUAH. THE THEN SECRETARY GENERAL OF UGCC. THE REST IS NKRUMAH 'S BETRAYAL. DONT LIE TO FELLOW GHANAIANS.

Look at Nkrumah's resting place, who renovated the place to attract more tourists, Mahama or who? Nana Addo the man who some of you see as hater of Nkrumah, is the one who renovated the resting place of Nkrumah, and the nation is raking a million cedis a month for the nation.

So, who is what to Nkrumah? Mahama and NDC did absolutely NOTHING about Nkrumah' resting place including the resting place of Mills.

Go and ask Koku who renovated the resting place of Mills?

It beats my imagination that our well-respected, educated, civil rights leader of a President unashamedly continues to denigrate Nkrumah to enable him push for his own father, uncles, etc. to be "equally" placed at the forefront of the Independence struggle! "Equally" is my insertion! According to our honourable President, the BIG Six should rather be celebrated! It was actually his forebears who invited and even paid for Nkrumah's ticket to come join them in the struggle. Clearly, it stands to reason that the BIG Six should be getting more of the credit, not Africa's undisputed Man of the Millennium!! Abi? Very subtle, Professor Nana. Ayekoo!!

It's the doggone truth. Did you see any Asante amongst the big 6. The presence of asantes in prior and post gh independence only served as antagonists to the constitution and the country called Ghana. Look at the role asantes played before Gh independence and post Ghana independence. Who masterminded the bombings against Nkrumah? Who masterminded the coups against Nkrumah.

No Sir, even Turkey that existed during the Roman Empire and subsequently became the Ottoman Empire that ruled so many other countries has sat down and settled of the key word "Founder" and the founder of modern Turkey is called Mustapha Kemal or Attaturk. And the Turks revere him. Now, Pelicles, in 2016, your venal and ignoble lying idol Akufo Addo had no qualms calling "Lew Kuan Yew as the Founder of Singapore". I presume, he was on duamorphine, crack cocaine or something stronger. Nkrumah, never believed in dynastic nonsense . But was definitely more passionate and patriotic than the clever effing thieves and blood suckers that constitute the NPP. Yes, Nkrumah, is the Founder of Ghana, a fact which is accepted by reasonable and sensible Ghanaians except the inbreds that comes from the useless Danquah Busia Detritus. CHEERS!

Kwame Nkrumah’s leadership, vision, and actions were instrumental in the transition of the Gold Coast from a British colony to the independent state of Ghana. His central role in the independence movement, his establishment of the first post-colonial government, and his shaping of the country’s political, social, and economic structures make him the indisputable founder of modern Ghana.

Ghana started very well under Dr Kwame NKRUMAH. But the devilish Akyem Mafia would not allow Ghanaians to prosper.
unfortunately, they came again in a different form (NPP) just to bring Ghanaians into deep deep poverty.
Ashantis must note that voting for Npp is like signing our collective death warrants.
Otumfuo should know that Napo is a trap.
Supporting Napo is like standing against your own kingdom. Because according to the Agyapadie Book, Napo was strategically selected just to deceive the Ashantis. To solve this puzzle, vote massively for John Mahama in 2024;and then latter vote for any candidate of your choice in 2028.
For now Ghanaians are hungry and angry.
So let's all vote for John to take us out of the hands of the evil Akyem Mafia. God bless Ghana , God bless the Ashanti Kingdom, God bless NDC and God bless John Dramani Mahama.

Eei Kwesi Pratt, the chief liar, has done it again. Mr Ugly face, what did you say? You said Nkrumah's coffin was carried by other president's as pallbearers. Who were those Presidents? You only mentioned Fidel Castro. What about the other Presidents, who were they? Or Fidel Castro put the coffin on his head? Most of us are adults enough to disprove that fact, because such a thing never happened. Why are you fond of telling liars all the time? If there were pallbearers, at least they would be 4, one at each end of the coffin. And so Mr Ugly face, let's know the remaining Presidents who were the pallbearers. You lie too much.
