I really appreciate your insight about Osagyefo, and is only all those who are blind and shallow minded, who just heard and neither saw nor lived within his time will yield insults at you. Had it not been Nkrumah and the CPP, Ghana would not have been what it is today. Why? Because no government after February 24th. 1966, has been able to add a pin to the nation's development and industrialization. RIP OSAGYEFO, NKRUMAH NEVER DIES.

He was spending to bring in income to the nation or security to protect our independence against bullies or traitors. The monies he spent on other west African nations was for security of our independence thinking of it. I maging Ghana the only independence nation, how was he going to reason with those countries for mm the well being of Africa or west africa, negotiating with the brothers of the masters he replaced.? What kind of change was that? And they can used the other sub sahara african country to subvert his sny move globally. He was not power drunk, it was just obvious for him to be a leader of what he had initiated to see through it.

A case in point is Liberia. Liberia declared independence in 1847 and had not achieved much by 1966, when Ghana became independent. Their leaders resisted meeting eye-to-eye with Ghana. In fact, they were reporting on Nkrumah's agenda and plans - to the US.

If you prefer the trains running on time to freedom, you may consider a dictator 'good'. To the British establishment, foreign dictators have always been graded as good or bad, depending on their degree of usefulness or expendability. Mussolini was both; Saddam Hussein was both; Suharto in Indonesia, a genocidist, was always a 'good' dictator, because he allowed Western capital to exploit his people and their resources and because he bought everything the British arms industry could sell him and because the Americans liked him.

You are a flaming idiot! How old are you? The PDA was passed under a certificate of urgency in 1958. The first ever bomb blast in Kulungugu, incidentally planted by Kwame Nkrumah's own people, was in 1962, four long years after the passage of the PDA.

As a graduate from the UP/NLM school of outright lies and a bona fide member of the Ahoofe Institute of Ignoble Scholars, KKO, is always eager to peddle lies. Well, the historical evidence does not support your ahistorical stuff. Read the facts below and shut up.
From The Fate of Africa: A History of Fifty Years of Independence, by Martin Meredith (PublicAffairs, 2005), pp. 24-27:
After winning the 1954 election, Nkrumah seemed set to make rapid progress towards independence. But he encountered unexpected resistance centred on his conduct of government. In the final stages of colonial rule, the Gold Coast, once a model colony, was riven by such bitterness, division and violence that it appeared in danger of breaking up.
At the core of the crisis was cocoa money. To protect cocoa farmers from price fluctuations, the colonial authorities had established a Cocoa Marketing Board (CMB) which each year fixed a guaranteed price for farmers and acted as the sole buyer, grader, seller and exporter of cocoa. Once in office, Nkrumah instructed the CMB to keep the price as low as possible, aiming to raise funds for development projects. But the CMB soon became notorious for corruption and mismanagement; it was regularly exploited to distribute credit, contracts, commissions, licences and jobs to CPP [Convention People’s Party] supporters. An official investigation revealed that the CPP used a CMB subsidiary to enrich the party’s coffers, to coerce farmers into joining the party and to control petty commerce.
Soon after the 1954 election, Nkrumah announced that the price paid to farmers would be fixed for a period of four years at a level less than one-third of ruling world prices. This decision provoked a surge of anger across Asante, the central forest region where half of the country’s cocoa crop was grown. Not only farmers but cocoa traders, merchants and businessmen based in the Asante capital, Kumasi, resented the loss of income. A new opposition party, the National Liberation Movement (NLM), sprang up, proclaiming to defend Asante interests and culture against a central government it portrayed as corrupt, dictatorial and bent on undermining the beliefs and customs of the Asante people. With the blessing of the Asante paramount chiefs and backed by fervent support in the Asante heartland, the NLM demanded a federal constitution prior to independence, giving Asante and other areas that wanted it a substantial measure of local autonomy.
Nkrumah saw the issue as a struggle between a modern democratic government and the feudal power of traditional chiefs trying to protect the old order. But he misjudged the extent of popular support for Asante institutions. As the NLM and Nkrumah’s CPP struggled for ascendancy, violent disturbances broke out. A bomb attack was made on Nkrumah’s house in Accra. Alarmed by the disorders, the British government refused to set a date for independence and eventually insisted on resolving the issue by calling another general election. At the polls in July 1956, Nkrumah’s CPP won an outright majority, 72 of 104 seats, though only 57 per cent of the votes cast. While the CPP received 398,000 votes, the opposition tally was 299,000 votes. Satisfied with the result, Britain finally pronounced a date for independence: 6 March 1957.
