Who is 100% perfect? No human being is.
The Great MAN, even with his so-called imperfections still remained/remains a force to be reckoned with and there's no time that his greatness has been missed more than now when copycats and clowns are making a mockery of how the governance of our once beautiful paradise country should be handled.
It makes some of us who saw and experienced the genius Nkrumah at work bow our heads in shame and wish the leaders after Nkrumah had even just one-thousandth part of THE GREAT MAN'S vision and selflessness.
Sure... he was human and had his faults but he was also an outstanding leader as compared to the clowns and thieves who came after him.
So as a Ghanaian, I personally owe him a debt of gratitude.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE!!!

"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence." Vince Lombardi
And indeed Kwame Nkrumah was the African leader par excellence. No one compares to Nkrumah. He was primus inter pares and is now sitting in the pantheon of the world's greatest.
You know what, a true critic dwell upon excellencies rather than imperfections. Kwame Nkrumah was a real man; not perfect but the anointed one which is why I love his imperfection. Many leaders of Africa today would choose Nkrumah's imperfection on any day over their profound incompetency.
"We live in a world where finding fault in others seems to be the favorite blood sport. It has long been the basis of political campaign strategy. It is the theme of much television programming across the world. It sells newspapers. Whenever we meet anyone, our first, almost unconscious reaction may be to look for imperfections." Henry B. Eyring
The everlasting flame and axioms of Kwame Nkrumah is still burning and alive. Nkrumah Lives! Forward ever, backward never. Africa must Unite!

Nkrumah is dead and gone and most of his ideologies are obsolete. There are more billionaires in Moscow than San Francisco, Paris, Dubai, Chicago combined. Actually, it is only second to New York City. China, is no more practicing communism or Socialism; they have embraced open-market system. This should tell you that your father, a dynamic leader as he was would have embraced a CHANGE in his ideologies or thinking.
So it is idiotic to see these useless, lazy bums and losers holding on to a so called Nkrumah ideologies. You guys need to use your brains to come out with what NEW ideas that would help your party and the country and stop this stupid slogan -Nkrumah never dies. Of course, he is dead and CPP has been in a coma for eons.

We are yet to see their contribution to our national development. Ghana is almost a failed state under the NDC and the irony is that most of these corrupt and nation wreckers(killers of dream,) in the NDC claim to be Nkrumaist. This means the CPP of today can be likened to the inept NDC. My question to these rubble rousing Nkrumaist is ; what new policy ideas do they have that is different from that of NDC, and how are they going to turn the tables around when Ghanaians give them the mandate rule. If till date none of these Nkrumaist elsewhere around the globe could fit himself/herself into the shoes of the deity who never dies, then one could imagine how abysmal their performance would be if given the node to to take the front lines. Most greatest economies in Africa( South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Algeria, Morocco, Sudan, Angola etc ) are doing well without Nkrumah's ideological models. So what made them think our salvation and success could only be realized if, and only if, Nkrumaism is persued? Please, Egyptian goddess,We need some fresh ideas.

Gye Nyame, first of all you must admit that you goofed by stating that the CPP does not have any representation in parliament. You must admit your ignorance about this fact and bravely apologize instead of going on on a tangent to hide your ignorance and subsequent shame.
Much as I also agree with you that the CPP needs a real leader and that Samia is not what it takes, I also know from your previous submissions that your anti-Nkrumah, your anti-CPP and your pro-imperialist inclinations do not favour a revival of the CPP and the development of Ghana and therefore your false concerns are just cynical.
Now Gye Nyame, tell me, do yu really believe that having representation in parliament has been of any useful benefit for this country? We currently have 275 pretenders sitting fat in the parliament of Ghana and we cannot even boast of enough electricity supply to power our mobile phones much more to run industries and businesses and you think the parliament of Ghana is of any consequence?
Let me tell you something. The only difference between those politicians who are in parliament and those who are not is that, those in parliament live in hollywood-style opulence and remuneration for absolutely nothing. I think that the CPP is merely lucky not to have too many people in parliament exploiting the resources of this country for a little more than infinitesimal work done.
Now the only reason that the CPP and what it stands for may not appeal to Ghanaians today is that many of our able country-men and women in the political terrain have been mesmerized by the superficial glamour of global imperialism and as a result, we are all being led by our noses into an abyss of self-destruction.
Take it or leave it, this country will never be as good as it was during the days of Nkrumah until we return to the ways of Nkrumah. Think about it.

His legacy however is diluted by the PDA, President for life and one party state policies.

Sarpong, when I read your earlier comment above, I thought to myself that there is still hope for you but then I said to myself - not so fast, these Nkrumah bashers are unpredictable and unstable for the most part. True enough, you have instantly lived up to my Nkrumaist diagnosis.
Now Sarpong, why do you do this to yourself? You claim that "Free medical care and free education was not introduced in Gold Coast/Ghana by Nkrumah. We had both free when the colonial Masters were ruling Ghana."
Are you really serious? Do you mean to tell us all that the colonialists adopted socialist - or even lets say nationalist policies in favour of the “despicable good-for-nothing African natives?”
Even if educational institutions and medical care were all free when your colonial MASTERS were oppressing the native people of the Gold Coast, how many schools and hospitals did your colonial MASTERS establish in the space now called Ghana during the several centuries that your colonial MASTERS tyrannized, suppressed and committed random genocide against our forefathers?
Off the top of my head, I cannot count more than 20 – yes 20 educational institutions and proper medical facilities that your colonial MASTERS established in the over 500 years of pillaging and plunder that they undertook in in this small but lucrative part of Africa.
You see how prejudice can on one hand blind a person not to see the good in others and on the other hand, not to recognize the devil himself when he is standing in front of you?

The majority of china's industries are publicly owned enterprises and if you compare that of Russia who privatised much of it's industries, China is way ahead. Nkrumah's model was very similar to the current Chinese model where the state led in infrastructural development and invested in job creating activities which remained going concerns until they were stolen or destroyed by the p/ndc. So clearly Nkrumah was ahead of even the Chinese. So called capitalist countries like Germany and the Scandinavian countries in particular have huge government involvement in their economy either through direct investment or high taxation to drive their economic development. Nkrumah wasn't voted the Greatest African for nothing.
No one stays the way they are permanently and there's no evidence to suggest the cpp is not capable of improving on a very good model to make it even better.

Ms Nkrumah,
I wish you well.
I am no politician, however, like many Ghanaians, I believe the economic mismanagement of consecutive governments since 1966 is a travesty that must come to an end; therefore any group of people who can emulate the singular patriotism,dynamism, astuteness,progressive and unifying spirit,determination, charisma, inventiveness and creatively daring character of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah will certainly be successful at the polls. To attain this goal, in the current tough e-commerce climate, ones approach must be passionate, persuasive,truthful, convincing, transparent and in a language that both intellectuals as well as any person with average education will feel comfortable with. I mean no disrespect, Ms Nkrumah;however,your tone is rather lukewarm,and therefore it creates complaisant responses from supporters as well as opponents.
Also you might find that reading recent write-ups with comments on Nkrumah (pros and cons alike) submitted on Ghanaweb may help you further appreciate popular sentiments about affairs in Ghana and simultaneously give you an advantage at every future platform. Best of luck!
Sincerely, I wish Ghana well!

Socialism is a living socioeconomic system. China, Cuba, North Korea and Viet Nam are all socialist countries and even Viet Nam which had her independence in 1975 is doing better than Ghana and most African countries. Let me add even better than South Africa. So that is the real socioeconomic facts about socialism. Cubans do not come to Ghana and Africa for education and other human resource development programmees, rather it is Ghanaians and Africans who go there. Sarpong what you wrote here about socialism are not facts but illusions from your mind. It is a fact that most dissidents from Eastern Europe after arriving in the West saw their horizon open and no more criticize socialism because they saw that capitalism is the heart of the heartless world.
Karl Marx was himself an employer because he owned a textile and a newspaper company. The biggest transport, health and engineering companies are owned by Nkrumaist in Ghana. The former socialist countries of Eastern Europe after the velvet and orange revolutions have been a shadow of themselves. Capitalism did not unite them, and rather like Yeasts poem it brought with it destruction, wars and separatism. The fall of socialism has ushered the era of Islamist terrorism. The same forces that capitalism used against socialism is now armed against it. We say that the chickens of capitalism have come home to roost. A person who won a war does not come home and instead of rejoicing fall down and have his nose blooded like capitalism. It is also a fact that apart from the U.S. and the Gulf monarchies there are communist parties in countries across the world. Those communist parties have not abandon the course of the proletariat revolution, which is inevitable. In economic terms China is about to take over from the U.S. and the economy of China is a socialist one, with the state owning the major means of production and distribution. Currently there are no private Chinese construction company in Ghana.

Let me make it clear here,Nkrumah is dead and gone but his philosophy lives on.I wish Samia will accept the reality of life and death that no man lives forever.It is about time the CPP turns to a new chapter to attract new members.I strongly believe the name of the party is no longer attractive as it did under its founder,Kwame Nkrumah.There is a need to change the name of the party and restrategise to win political power in the future.As I speak,apart from NPP all the remaining political parties in Ghana are Nkrumaists, including the NDC,NDP,ANC,PPP etc.Therefore,the original CPP has been disintegrated long time ago, leaving only the skeleton.If you will agree with me,the CPP has out lived its purpose and there must be a change.Thank you.

CPP have done a woeful job in articulating Nkrumah's vision and achievements. The party is replete with internal squabbles, and lacks direction. There have not been any serious efforts to rebuild the party, as the party that once commanded the support of majority of Ghanaians has now become a fringe party and on its last leg to extinction. It is bleeding profusely from leadership malaise and identity crises uncharacteristic of a premier political party in the land.
It is alright to say Nkrumah never dies, but his party is facing an imminent death, and as the party goes, so goes Nkrumah and everything he stood for.
