Only a sick person like Ahoofe will drag his dead parents'names into the gutter on Ghanaweb. After all,his father who was CPP official(Ahoofe's brother was a Young Pioneer),put food on the table,clothed the family and put shelter over their heads.And it was his father who brought him to New York.Yet this ungrateful son did not even attend the father's burial, neither his mother's.He sent a lousy $200 through a third person at Legon to the family,after the mother's burial.
This paranoid and troubled Community College instructor probably thinks Nkrumah was responsible his mediocre condition in the Bronx ghetto.Blaming others is his game.He blamed his professors at Temple U for his inabilty to get a job after graduation.The curmudgeon tussled with NPP-USA and called the folks there Asante tribalists - for supposedly ill treatment of his father by the group.For this,he was booted out. Ahoofe also couldn't deal with the African Studies Association group and left.A few years ago he was booted out of Danquah Institute for his uncompromising and "know it all " behavior.
And in the past years has said some unflattering things about his former Nigerian wife and daughter in the MEDIA,and continues to hurl tribal invectives at Ewes,though his present wife is an Ewe. Then there's this problem of being "related" to Danquah,Asantehene,a prominent chief in the Volta Region,Grandpa Akufo-Addo,Okomfo Anokye,and the present Akyem chief. Who is next? Queen Elizabeth?
Ahoofe's disease is INCURABLE,and folks,especially Nkrumah and independent supporters,will have to take it as it comes.

2. The old lady would pass on in less than two months after psychologically and intellectually liberating her second and younger son the shackles and blinders
3. Second and younger son...had clearly and fully languished since his impressionable preteen years
4. But, for quite obvious reasons, had hitherto never been explained to him by his... ardent Nkrumaist now-late father.....
5. I had not yet embarked on a more balanced and objective study of Ghana's political culture
NOTE: Dr. Okoampa Ahoofe can now add the information about his grand-father, J. B. Danquah, his later day "osagyefo".

This is from Okoampa-Ahoofe from Chapter 2 ( "Harvest of Foolery") of his collection of essays published on 2004. When did his lobotomy occur? When he found out that he was related to J. B. Danquah.
"And here, it is significantly instructive to observe that none of the myriad putsches and coup detats have been staged by any other than bona fide members of the Ghanaian military. Granted, some rascal civilians are known to have staunchly backed regressivley Darwinian means of political access, including a world-renowned University-educated former prime minister. Interestingly, in July 1956, when President Nkrumah's Convention People's Party (CPP) won a landslide victory, Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia rode herd on a delegation to the British office in London, to petition the British Crown, and Ghana's extant colonial overlord, to desist from granting the already-scheduled return of Ghana to self-governance. Fortunately, Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia and his right-wing bourgeois reactionaries did not succeed. He would, however, succeed ten years later in backing the military junta that unseated the Nkrumah administration and facilitated the precipitous devolution of Ghanaian national destiny.
Indeed, it is interesting to observe that Ghana's major and, to-date, only international airport is named for General E.K. Kotoka, the very Darwinian outlaw who spearheaded the grossly unimaginative overthrow of the constitutionally elected government of the CPP. For many detractors and outright enemies of Nkrumah, Kotoka's greatest—if also sole—achievement was simply getting rid of an elected dictator. It has often been said, largely by Western academics, that Nkrumah was a heartless and fatuous dictator; these days, one hears Mr. Jerry John Rawlings, the career soldier who ran Ghana for twenty harrowing incontrovertibly bloody years, described as a "benign dictator." It is significant to observe that Mr. Rawlings, whose agnatic parentage is purported to be Scottish, presided over the dastardly kidnapping and summary execution of three Ghanaian supreme court judges, all of whom belonged to a single ethnic nationality.
When one agrees with the Western ideological mythology that Nkrumah was a raw-boned dictator bereft of vision, then it begins to make sense that Kotoka's statue should continue to command the august facade of Accra International Airport, thus perpetually humiliating those of us who incurably believe in democratic governance. Needless to say, the 1966 Kotoka-led coup initiated the barbaric, neo-colonial military dynasty that Ghanaian continue to suffer….
That Ghana's post-colonial political dilemma transcends military dictatorship cannot be honestly gainsaid. In fact, many of the most vociferous civilian opposition party leaders, some of whom are currently sitting in parliament, representing misguided and hoodwinked constituents, are known to have collaborated with Kotoka's so-called National Liberation Council to unseat President Nkrumah. It is also significant to observe that these largely superannuated rascals and executive national, fiduciary muggers continue to dominate whatever passes by the name of "the legitimate opposition." This state of affairs, coupled with a largely under-educated and under-informed electorate, has made it almost impossible to rectify the prevailing socioeconomic chaos ravaging the country.”

Ahoofe you are a straight up unadulterated idiot. For your erudification: Plutocrats will always cry free market to every economic question, like a mantra. However all the countries in the world today that have advanced from colonial,dependent or underdeveloped status have achieved their current position by implementing a state capitalism approach to wit:the state engages in profitmaking economic activity especially in primary industries that is the basic industries (e.g: Metallurgical, power generation building materials etcetera) upon which a modern economy is built. These countries all utilized the single party form of governance and firmly guided the often state owned or controlled banking sector to funnel capital to specific sectors. Brazil China south Korea Singapore Taiwan Malaysia to name but a few. Ghana was on the same path till 1966 you idiot. Go do the research. Even today in China the biggest most dynamic businesses are state owned or controlled. Can you deny the progress these states have made? Finally your hero OfeiBoahene of Ivory Coast run a one party system though it had a strong whiff of Akan preemince look what he left behind him :an underdeveloped primary products exporting country controlled and run for the benefit of France.

Your idol, hero and tribal kinfolk J. B. Danquah never acted in good faith and or love for Ghana his entire natural life but out of political self expediency. He practiced his craft under the tutelage of the colonial masters learning the art of subjugation built on presumed intellectual superiority and the denial of human rights to those deemed to be lower cast in society. He did not work for the uplifting of the then down and out folks but for his desire to occupy the office of the prime minister/presidency. Is it not the very same philosophy of expediency yours truly Nana Akufo-Addo has been pursuing all his life?
