Brother Kofi,
I and several others have belabored your central thesis from time to time.
You could not have stated it any better.
Excellent piece of work. More of this is required on Ghanaweb and elsewhere. Keep it up.
Thanks.

We have no time to lose if we want to help free ordinary people from the tyranny of the NDC/NPP duopoly.of-greed.
Thanks, Comrade. Forward ever, backwards never!

You make a thinly-disguised accusation against my party, the NDC for the E.O. Group oil scam. Why? The deal for the blocks that you refer to was made under the Presidency of Kufuor and under the watch of his Energy Minister whom you are promoting. You can promote anybody you like for the future presidency but if you are honest then you will stop the lies against the NDC and point out all the actual people under whose watch that corrupt deal was made. NDC had nothing to do with it. Look deep in your own political patronage quarters for those who were responsible.

You funny creatures cannot stop amusing me. When was the last time you rabble rousing Nkrumaist voted CPP? You haters of truth and reality are part of the big problems bedeviling the well being of the ordinary Ghanaian. You choose incompetent NDC over competent and pragmatic tradition of Dankwahs-Busia-Dombo.
I got advice for you enemies of common sense and reason. The surest way for you cantankerous gossipers to revive the moribund Nkrumah leaning parties is to beg the criminal NDC for a merger so as to keep the name of the so called greatest African relevant in our contemporary politics .

Indeed, Opanin. And so could we sustain and provide our people with a good quality of life, if we made sure foreign investors shared their profits with us on a 50-50 basis in all the agreements we sign with them.
If we had oil agreements of that nature, for example - instead ofvthe wooerst oil agreements the greed--filled Kufuor and Co deliberately signed pfor their own benefit - we could fund all our nation's development from our own resources. Literally.
Thanks - and peace and blessings to you, Opanin.

Massa, Nkrumah's socialism embraced private enterprise that has a social conscience and strives for win-win relationships with society - the Tema Oil Refinery is an example.
Agip Minerera had a 50-50 sharing of profits agreement with Ghana - once its initial investment had been paid for.
What Nkrumaists disapprove of, is private-greed driving a business that evades taxes, ruthlessly exploits workers and damages the environment.
And why should socialists of that kind not be happy in the U.S. - if they can share ideas freely with others in a society that thrives on the exchange of ideas after all?

To prevent the military from stepping in again - to "deal drastically" with thieves parading here as politicians - Nduom and other leaders should heed this call,for the sake of Nkrumah's Ghana. After all, British Conservatives and Liberals are ruling together in a coalition. It's time to take a cue from them.

Indeed, Opanin. The question is: are they prepared to put personal ambition aside - and let the most competent Nkrumaist leader lead us into power again?
Perhaps Samia Yaabah Nkrumah could take the lead and reach out to Nduom and the leaders of all the Nkrumaist parties, as a prelude to beginning formal discussions about a coalition of separate Nkrumaist parties supporting one presidential ticket for 2016, and fashion out a platform based on a modernised version of the original 7-year development plan, fit for today's conditions.
Thanks, Comrade - and peace and blessings to you.

It is unfortunate that CPP appears to be paralyzed and nobody knows what the leadership is up to. Nevertheless, well-minded supporters of the party will be well-advised against any desperate schemes that ignores the lessons of the past. One can only go by the record of politicians. Never by appearances or what they say or claim to believe in.
Take the example of the so-called "Nkrumaist" Hilla Limann. Limann gained the candidacy for the presidency on the ticket of so-called Nkrumaist People's National Party (formed largely by the corrupt, ex-members of the Nkrumah-era CPP and Nkrumah government) through his sheer family connection to Imoru Egala, who had been disqualified from running by the vindictive, anti-CPP legislation of the post-Nkrumah regimes. This is where the hypocrisy and fakery of Limann begin to manifest themselves. Limann, who was no Nkrumaist, was appointed by the NLC regime that overthrew Nkrumah to serve on the Constitutional Commission which drafted the 1969 Constitution - a constitution that included many anti-CPP stipulations, notorious among them, the article that was used to disqualify Imoru Egala! Limann subsequently won the elections and became President in 1979 until his overthrow by the military opportunist and brute, Jerry Rawlings in 1981.
What is the record of Hilla Limann as President from 1979 to 1981? He did absolutely nothing to reverse the anti-CPP/anti-Nkrumah legislation. He undertook no policies that could be described as having been inspired by Nkrumah's vision! By maintaining the anti-Nkrumah orientation of the government - from retaining the use of Kotoka's name over Accra International Airport to the freezing of CPP's assets and bank account, Limann is responsible for the material and financial deprivation that the CPP suffers today. The grand lesson that the past teaches us is that CPP should not just go for any big names who are only interested in political power and their self-interests but people who are truly dedicated to CPP, who are selfless and who are truly guided by Nkrumah's vision to solve today's problems. CPP should avoid individuals and factions tied to either NDC or NPP.

For the sake of future generations and Mother Ghana, Nkrumaists of today must put aside their personal ambitions and shed their personal animosities, and work together to bring the most competent leaders in our fold into power again.
Even old fogies like me who are no longer physically strong, are prepared to contribute our quota, and help bring Nkrumaists into power again.
Yes, your caution is in order - but no fake Nkrumaist will ever be selected to lead Nkrumaists to power again, in the Ghana of today. Thanks, Comrade - and peace and blessings to you.
