You should stop twisting history. It will not change the facts but only show that you inward thinking fools are just dumb and vindictive. The CIA has the accomplices they hired to overthrow Nkrumah so what's all this? Also according the CIA files they intentionally made Nkrumah paranoid by making some of his people guilty but were not. Even Nkrumah described the PDA as unjustified but necessary to keep the nation from disingenuous men.
In the end you overthrew Nkrumah but what did you do to the nation Ghana? You could not develop the nation and have effectively made the nation a nation of mostly ignorant people led by corrupt people who don't have any leadership skills to lead her.
Nkrumah atomic energy project alone that you traitors killed was to produce 16 GW of power. That magnitude of power could supply the whole of west Africa power without any interruptions. Today Ghana as a nation is getting by with only 2GW of power. Imagine the opportunity cost of selling power to west Africa for foreign exchange since 1967 slated for completion of the atomic project.
You will forever suffer as a nation got what Nkrumah is indeed true. You cannot lead a pack of ignorant wolves without apply some unjustifiable acts like PDA and still develop them.

Africans are. Always look for fault. Nothing else.they all come on with these literally work to prove how educated they
claim they are, but when you visit their living quarters, will will find out that they could not even construct a decent road
to their mansions more or less come up with any idea to lift
an ordinary Ghanaian from their poverty. Rather spew a lot of academic nonsense to show off thief good command of the English language . A bunch of nothing but nonsense .

You could have stood up to offer your law services to help them get better
and good loans for the country.

Nkrumah cetainly admired despots and that is why he became one. With his fanthom "Africa must Unite or Perish" zeal, he was adverse to political opposition and was bent on becoming president for life. His way or the highway and that is why he imprisoned so many. Very tragic indeed.

How old are you? Prof Kludze who Dr SAS has quoted, wrote about something that he witnessed, something that every Ghanaian who is aged about 64 or older can attest to. Are you so stupid to believe that "the CIA intentionally made him paranoid." OMG, what kind of "educated idiots" has Jerry RAwlings inflicted on the good people of Ghana?
Which atomic project was going to generate 16GW of power? What did you study at school, dondology or something? Ghana Atomic Energy Commission was established purely for research purposes. Even then, the twenty-ton Geiger counter that the Soviets criminally installed there couldn't even count atoms in ordinary Tritium!
Thank God Nkrumah's CPP will never come to power in Ghana, and their re-incarnated NDC have shown how completely useless they are. We need to cast them into the dungeons of power for the next fifty years so Ghana can begin to move again!

Hindsight, 2004-2015, is 20/20!
But fairness in public discourse should be automatic, before we get to "hind".
Adikanfo/Pacesetters thread where others have never threaded! Most of them never have to wrestle with formidable external enemies with more resources enough to buy the services of your own people who will then secretly plot to harm the new State. Enough to control the entire world!
And if today, we had the resources to educate the people and conduct a survey of all the people and positioned 2 paths:
- the Lee Kuan Yew Singapore model (equality for the average man)
- the current 2-party "virtual" revolving door (equality for the party man).
Then let's ask the people to look forward and tell us which one they will select/choose, freely.
ITEM: We have a whole series of articles from a so-called lawyer about a "Kludze", and the most important caveats were purposely left out - a sorry attempt to make fools of readers, we suppose!
Funny - When we discovered the NYT about a "Kludze", his affiliation with Rutgers University and his nearly 30 years over there as a Professor, we did not read anything (or find) any mention of association with any American struggles (of African Americans, Women, American Indians, the Poor, Migrants, Universal Suffrage, Reform of any policy in New Jersey, and their Chicken Coop Urban policies, etc.).
That should tell us something. And we've just learned that even "Kludze's own hometown (Hohoe) folks have been up in arms with him, even after his death, for cheating many of them on some transactions, in courts of law and such.
In that sense, looks like we have another latter day J. B. Danquah lawyer!
Let go figure.
ITEM:
(1). Plainly, Nkrumah was too benevolent to his detractors!
(2). Plainly, Nkrumah achieved the most important goals for Ghana in his own lifetime
-----Independence for Ghana
-----Unitary Nation for Ghana.
(3). Much of the information about Nkrumah were destroyed and continue to be hidden today, by Danquah-Busia-Dombo-UP-NLC-NLM-PP Confederates and their apologists.
Keep on trying to hide information and sources, Dr. Samuel Adjei Sarfo.
For our part, we will keep on exposing same.
Dr. Samuel Adjei Sarfo, Attorney and Counselor at Law, try harder!

READ: "...Kwame Nkrumah himself...outlined very clearly his vision of the Independent Ghana. It was not to be a Ghana with a free market economy... In his autobiography..which was published in 1957 on the eve of Ghana’s Independence...Nkrumah spelt out in plain language what was in store for Ghana...: Wrote Kwame Nkrumah: “Capitalism is too complicated a system for a newly independent nation. Hence the need for a socialist society. But even a system based on social justice and a democratic constitution may need backing up, during the period following independence, by emergency measures of a totalitarian kind. Without discipline true freedom cannot survive.”
WE SAY: NPP Justice "Prof Kludze" was being disingenuous, if we can be charitable.
Simply, a "Free Market Economy", is a matter of degree, using the example even of the US.
How else do you produce public goods and services. And who will benefit most if you produce, or don't produce?
About events in 1957...
As we've said on the other side in "Nkrumah Was Not Prepared To Govern For Dummies!", a country like Ghana "is not the property of one leader. It always took a team willing to work together, a Team willing to support "the leader"...Dr. Danquah certainly failed...playing second fiddle to Nkrumah in the fight for independence for the Gold Coast. Even worse, merely 9 months after Ghana's independence, on 4 December 1957, Busia, another UP-NLM-Dombo-PP traitor, was sending secret telegrams from the US Embassy in Accra to Washington DC asking for $25,000, "(not 10)", for his NLM party, and complaining to the minority Republicans in the US Congress that Nkrumah and the CPP were exploring relations with other countries, including the USSR. (Busia asked that the funds whould be concealed so it will look like the UP-NLM-Dombo-PP confederates raised those funds through their own local/Ghana party effort.
Let's go figure, People!

What makes you think Nkrumah could tie our winnebago economy to the trailer park economic policies of USSR but it was a crime for Busiah to seek help from USA?
Busiah was right to ask for the money to be concealed when Nkrumah was imprisoning people who showed any close ties to USA and Britain

What do you mean by:
"Your source and your attempts to hide his attributes is questionable"?
What attributes and source am I hiding?
Prof. Kludze's piece is found in one piece on the internet; I am just serializing it now. If you have any questions about the facts and the logic presented, just debate them on the merits.
Kludze himself talks about how he was imprisoned by Nkrumah when the latter was NUGS president. So that fact is no secret; and I agree that it goes to his perspective and perception on Nkrumah. But to find where he is wrong is your job; since I can't see anything missing in his facts and reasoning.
As to what his own people think of him, that has nothing to do with whatever he has written here. All I am saying is: debate on the facts and substance of Kludze's presentation and stop your subterfuge and distractions.

SAS, have you ever debated about the facts on the so-called Nkrumah's poor human rights records apart from your usual delineation of his reactions to the evil actions of his opponents? I always caution you not to write on issues you have no degree of understanding. No serious writer will use an opinion of single person to draw conclusions without references from other independent sources to confirm such position. That is a sheer mental laziness and it isn't scholarship.
