    As Francis Kwarteng argues here, with respect to Pan-Africanism and South Africa, one cannot be activist simply because one was the first in the world, the first to arrive at a port, at a scene!

    DANQUAH IS NOT EVEN KNOWN NEXT DOOR IN TOGO.

    Akyems dislike him more.Born a traitor always an agent of foreign enterprise

  • ADJOA WANGARA 8 years ago

    Trust me, that Kwarteng guy is completely out of his mind. The word imbecile should not be adequate to describe him.

  • KING LOMOTEY 8 years ago

    You don't have anything to contribute except the "copy & paste" mantra. Getting boring with that.

  • Adams 8 years ago

    It is sorry that the Ghanaweb I know since years back has now populated columnists with rubbish and on the other side commentators with garbage.

    Can't Kwarteng, Francis reason? How could Danquah have done something to decolonize South Africa when he had no power and the presidency had been stolen from him cunningly by Nkrumah.

    Nkrumah used the presidency, name and ...

    Where is your sense of history when the Ofori Attas and the Asantehenes used the resources of the Asante State and the Akyem Abuakwa State to support the British during so-called World war!

    These kings contributed to the ...

    Brother Kwarteng, good job keep it up

  • BOAFO YENA 8 years ago

    Please give credit to the ANC, Mandela, Biko, and Desmond Tutu, and all those who stood up and challenged the Apartheid regime and their western supporters. The credit goes to the gallant South Africans and to nobody else.

  • francis kwarteng 8 years ago

    Dear Brother Boafo Yena,

    Your concern is addressed in the essay, the first paragraph!

    But this essay is primarily about Nkrumah's Pan-Africanist credentials and what they did for Africa in general and South Africa in p ...

    Kwarteng, fact is, apart from writing one to one from other people you can't write a mistake free and reasonable sentence without grammar amalgamation.

  • Kwame Joe 8 years ago

    You and Prof. Lungu have soundly made your point about the incontestable role Dr. Kwame Nkrumah played in developing Ghana , initiating the wind of change in Africa, and making his mark throughout the world.

    Your knowled ...

    SORRY.
    I was going to say that your knowledge, energy & effort will be better used in helping to solve Ghana's current many problems.
    Niddling Danquah and his forces is in by view counterproductive.

  • francis kwarteng 8 years ago

    Dear Kwame Joe,

    You don't have to apologize.

    And please, you can also write to inform your readers how to solve Ghana's present problems. I can't do all by myself. Besides, others are doing exactly.

    What is more, I ...

    Who has argued in scholarly work that Danquah contributed to South Africa's struggle for independence! From 1958 forward did Danquah have time for himself let alone South Africa? You create your straw man and cut it down your ...

    You have to respond to Okoampa at every take even if it an article on Ghanaweb! Well you bore me out that no serious scholar would claim that Danquah was instrumental in the liberation of South Africa. And Okoampa is not. So ...
