Strong partisanship started in Ghana when Kwame Nkrumah divided the nation into patriots and traitors. Patriots were those who accepted that he should be president for life, practice one party state and communism and indulge in leftist anti-Western propaganda using the small country's meager resources to challenge centuries' old, well-established Western countries. They even accepted that he should act as a savior of Blackman around the world, while tyrannizing his own Black people at home because they had alternative views for development of their country.
Those who wanted him to concentrate more on the basic needs of the young nation and tone down his rhetoric against the powerful were called traitors, reactionaries, and agents of imperialism that should be liquidated and imprisoned dead or alive. Could you believe that the opposition members he was tyrannizing were the very people who started the struggle for our independence? They employed Nkrumah and paid for his ticket from the UK to come and work as general secretary of the group, saving him from the tyranny of unemployment in London. The independence struggle vanguards were senior civil servants in the Gold Coast. And as their struggle was gaining momentum and scope of their activities widening, they needed someone to work full-time for the group; free from official work constrains to further spread message of the struggle.
Under their responsibility and protection, Nkrumah used the platform to become public face of the group and his popularity soared. This was because; many of the people in those days could not differentiate between the spokesperson and the leaders, and therefor, saw him as the person or the only person that was fighting for our independence. Subsequently, when he heard from the Governor General's female secretary, who was later sacked, that the British were preparing to grant us independence, he increasingly used needless militant tactics to provoke the Whiteman, when it was clear that the wind of change was blowing, and also embarrass his employers in order to outfox them. He then used the opportunity to break away from the group, forming his own party and slapping them from behind to take power.
This explains the strong partisanship in the country and why Nkrumah didn't want the Liberation Vanguards to ever come to power in his life time. Maybe, he was afraid of his own ghost or because of his communist tendencies. Unfortunately, and despite all these plain facts, his supporters still want us to believe that he initiated, spearheaded and single handedly fought for our independence, and name every national project after him as if we were in a kingdom.

Thank you brother Sheriff Idriss-Yahya for bringing this serious information up.
The authorities must listen to this menace which is fast gaining ground in the country.
If you think you have the security and so, you don't care. Just peep at Nigeria and you'll realize that, when criminals gain ground in a society nobody will be safe in that country.
Bombs and criminals don't discriminate so, nip them fast before it's too late.

ECOWAS SHOULD NOT MEAN WE CANNOT CONTROL THE INFLUX OF OTHER AFRICANS FROM COMING TO GHANA TO LIVE!
SHOULDN'T THE ORGANIZATION OF AFRICAN UNION DISCUSSING THESE ISSUES OF INFLUX TO EACH OTHERS COUNTRIES AND THE SOLUTIONS TO THIS ECONOMIC CRISIS? AND HOW TO HELP EACH COUNTRY IN SOLVING THEIR ECONOMIC CRISIS?
WHAT DO THESE HEADS OF STATE AND THE DIGNITARIES DISCUSS WHICH IS SOOO BENEFECIAL TO THE AFRICAN CONTINENT?
WHERE ARE THE GHANAIAN SOCIOLOGISTS, PSYCHOLOGIST, AND ECONOMISTS?
THE ABOVE PROFESSIONALS SHOULD CONTACT JOHN MAHAMA.
GHANA NEEDS A GOOD INDUSTRAIL STRATEGY IN PLACE. AN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION SO TO SPEAK. WE NEED TO HAVE MANUFACTURING FACTORIES OF ALL KINDS OUTSIDE ACCRA. THIS WILL HELP MOVE THESE PROSTITUTES & RIF RAFS OFF THE STREETS OF ACCRA.
THE ACCRA INDUSTRIAL AREA STILL HAS UNTARRED ROADS. WHEN IT RAINS IT IS SOOOO MUDDY AND FILTHY.
WHAT DOES TOWN PLANNING DO FOR ACCRA? OR GHANA FOR THAT MATTER?
WHAT ARE THE GHANA INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS RIGHT THERE IN ACCRA DOING?
ACCRA THE CAPITAL IS LIKE A BIG VILLAGE WITH FILTH, CHAOS AND NO ORDER OF ANYTHING!
GHANAIAN SOCIOLOGISTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS CONTACT THE PRESIDENT JOHN MAHAMA.
DO NOT JUST BE GIVING LECTURES AT THE UNIVERSITIES! GHANA NEEDS YOU TO CHANGE THE PYSCHE OF GHANAIANS FOR THE BETTER.
GHANAIANS SHOULD BE SEEING POSTERS AROUND THE COUNTRY SAYING. "GHANAIAN RAW MATERIALS ARE USED FOR MANY GOODS ACROSS THE WORLD. GHANAIAN GOODS ARE ORIGINAL,BUY GHANA, GHANA IS BEST, SUPPORT YOUR ECONOMY"
OTHER COUNTRIES GO ON ABOUT PROMOTING THEIR PRODUCTS. MOST OF THEM BUY THE RAW MATERIALS FROM AFRICA! COME ON GUYS, GHANA OR AFRICA IS NOT POOR!
GHANAIANS AFRICANS WE JUST HAVE TO CHANGE OUR MINDSET AND ORGANIZE! ORGANIZE! ORGANIZE! OURSELVES! THAT IS ALL IT TAKES! 2015 IS FAST APPROACHING AND GHANA BETTER BE ORGANIZED BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD! THE CHOAS, CORRUPTION, NEPOTISM, GREED, ETC HAVE NOT, AND CANNOT AND WILL NOT SAVE GHANA!
GHANAIAN,AFRICANS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD IS TO BE ORGANIZED, EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE AND HAVE HIGH STANDARDS IN ANYTHING WE DO. AT HOME, IN OUR BUSINESSES, IN THE CIVIL SEVICE, PUBLIC OFFICE EVERYWHERE.
IF THE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES WERE NOT ORGANIZED WE WOULD NOT MIGRATE OVER THERE!
"GHANA IS ORIGINAL, GHANA IS BEST, BUY MADE IN GHANA PRODUCTS AND SUPPORT YOUR ECONOMY"
ONCE WE ORGANIZE OUR BELOVED GHANA BETTER DEVELOPMENTS WILL FOLLOW. ALL GHANAIANS WILL HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE COUNTRY AND WE CAN FREE OUR MINDS BECAUSE WE WILL NOT BE WORRYING ABOUT LIGHT AND WATER! WE CAN HAVE TIME TO DEVELOP THE ARTS, AND HAVE TIME FOR DYNAMIC VENTURES!
BETTER CHANGE MUST COME AND IS COMING TO GHANA IN 2015!

The sad thing is that the Nigerians don't respect Ghanaians at all. They think they are better than their hosts!

I've been challenged by Francis Kwarten to explain line by line what Dr. Kwame Botwe-Asamoah said in his three-part series that confirms our claim, even remotely, that Nkrumah was a communist that cunningly used the UGCC platform as a cover to work against the group from within, and in the end stabbed them from behind to take power. Although the series were used by FK to rebut our argument, we actually found them to be in support of our view point. The following excerpts, therefore, are only from Dr. Asamoah's Three-part series entitled, Kwame Nkrumah: The ONE and ONLY Founding Father of Ghana -2014 Independence Day Special..
UGCC MISTAKENLY HIRED A PAN-AFRICAN COMMUNIST
"The fact is Nkrumah initially was reluctant to accept the offer as he perceived the UGCC members to be “bourgeois reactionaries” enamored in capitalist ideology and philosophy." "Secondly, he, as the General-Secretary of West African National Secretariat, as well as Chairman of “The Circle,” was at the time busy working on a West African National Conference towards a Union of West African Socialist Republics, slated to be held in Lagos in October 1948."
CONSPIRACY HATCHED IN LONDON TO SABOTAGE UGCC
"Nonetheless, after meeting with his comrades in the West African National Secretariat, it was decided that Nkrumah should accept the offer and return to operationalize the 1945 Manchester Pan-African Congress resolutions. Nkrumah assured them that he would not compromise with the reactionaries and reformists in the UGCC (Smertin)"
UGCC SENSED A DANGER (THEY HAVE PATAKU (Wolf) IN THEIR MIDST)
"They (UGCC) brought many charges against Nkrumah based on differences in vision, ideology, philosophy and strategy. One was the word “Comrade” in one of Nkrumah’s letters Obetsebi Lamptey and William Ofori Attah had confiscated from Nkrumah’s office in Saltpond. They quizzed him about the word comrade, since they found it to be synonymous with Communism. Second. The Working Committee accused Nkrumah of acting outside his authority…" "They blamed Ako Adjei for his role in recommending Nkrumah to the group. Dr. J. B. Danquah wept saying that he would not have supported the recommendation by Ako Adjei, had he (Danquah) known of Nkrumah’s ideological persuasion."
A SECRET NETWORK IN THE NAME OF UGCC TO STAB IT FROM BEHIND
"The (UGCC) Working Committee accused Nkrumah of establishing a Youth Study Group at Osu in Accra with Komla Gbedemah as its Chairman. This would later embody a nationalist youth movement with the Ashanti Youth Association and the Ghana Youth Association of Sekondi, and become known as the Committee on Youth Organization (CYO).The CYO, Nkrumah explained to the Working Committee, was to serve as the youth wing of the UGCC, yet they still objected to its formation. They found the CYO’s manifesto, “Self-Government Now” a threat to the program of the UGCC, “Self-Government within the shortest possible time.”… All the while, Nkrumah and his Comrades were working on turning the CYO into a political party." And that was the origin of the CPP party.
