THE SHOWBOY OF AFRICA WAS KICKED OUT BECAUSE OF LIFE PRESIDENCY, ONE PARTY STATE AND HIS DICTATORSHIP AND GHANA IS BETTER FOR IT, BECAUSE ALL NATIONS DICTATORSHIPS ARE FALTERING AND LAGGING BEHIND A LA NORTH KOREA, CUBA, THE SATELITTE NATIONS OF THE OLD SOVIET UNION. THE MARK OF A SUCCESSFUL NATION IS SHOWN IN THE COMFORT AND SUCCESS OF THE ORDINARY MAN, NOT IN JUST TECHNOLOGICAL ACHIEVEMENT, WHICH BENEFITS ONLY ACCRUE TO THE ELITE IN THE NATION.

"....It is...instructive...that none of the...coup d'états have been staged by any other than bona fide members of the Ghanaian military. Granted, some rascal civilians...staunchly backed regressively Darwinian means of political access, including a world-renowned...former prime minister (Busia). Interestingly, in July 1956, when President Nkrumah's...CPP...won a landslide victory... Busia rode herd on a delegation to the British office in London, to petition the British Crown, and...colonial overlord, to desist from granting the already-scheduled return of Ghana to self-governance. Fortunately... Busia and his right-wing bourgeois reactionaries did not succeed. (Busia)...however, succeeded ten years later in backing the military junta that unseated the Nkrumah administration and facilitated the precipitous devolution of Ghanaian national destiny....\

\....Indeed...Ghana's major and...only international airport is named for...Kotoka....outlaw who spearheaded the grossly unimaginative overthrow of the constitutionally elected government of the CPP... Mr. Rawlings, whose...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....Needless to say, the 1966 Kotoka-led coup initiated the barbaric, neo-colonial military dynasty that Ghanaian continue to suffer….\

\... 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...(Busia)...rascals and executive...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...(Ghana)...” (Dr. Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe's testament for the CPP and Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was taken from “SOUNDS OF SIRENS: ESSAYS IN AFRICAN POLITICS & CULTURE”, Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr (2004)," courtesy Atakora-Mensah, Ghanaweb, 2015-04-15 13:21:28).

They are all useless unreal political theories which do not work in real world. These theories work to oppress and enslave human beings.It creates political class who are untouchable. All these theories are sources of corruption, stealing and looting, nepotism.

Look at Tsatsu Tsikata and his socialist gangsters. What have they done when thet stole power. They oppress Ghanaian masses, introduced tribal politics, they have looted and stolen everything in Ghana. Now, they are the political class in our society. They steal with impunity.

There is nothing good in Nkrumasims. Give us a break. You can worship Nkrumah, but you can not deny the fact that Nkrumah was a brutal dictator.

READ: "...Personally there is only one thing I can trace to Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and that is the idea of uniting the entire African continent to form a United State of Africa......Nkrumaism can only stand for one thing and that is the belief that Africa must Unit..."

Lucky for Prempeh Forson!

Prempeh Forson can afford to start from the middle and fast-forward by supersonic jet to the future. You know, the day "the belief" of Africans will unite them.

Meanwhile Prempeh Forson can enjoy the successful "idea of uniting the entire" Gold Coast, into Ghana. You know, the one that allows Prempeh Forson the opportunity to wallow in a measure of ignorance and absent-mindedness about the totality of the achievements of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

We hope that like us, Prempeh Forson is mighty glad the Danquah-Busia confederates lost the first and most significant existential test of Ghana's nationhood.

Enjoy Nkrumah's Ghana, Prempeh Forson!

Nkrumahism is not only the stupid, selfish and wicked idiologies of Nkrumah but also the mad People who are said to be followers of Nkrumah's silly idiologies, that is called Nkrumahism.

Dear Prempeh,

I am being impersonated again.

If you want a serious academic discussion (a highly technical discussion scientific, mathematical, epistemological, and philosophical) of the subject matter (Nkrumahism), please do yourself a favor by reading the following works (Author is Dr. Kofi Kissi Dompere):

1) "The Theory of Philosophical Consciencism: Practice Foundations of Nkrumahism"

2) "The Theory Of Categorial Conversion: Rational Foundations of Nkrumahism"

3) "Polyrhythmicity: Foundations of African Philosophy"

4) "African Union: Pan African Analytical Foundations"

5) "Africentricity and African Nationalism"

These five, especially the first four, are what are being discussed today among experts, researchers, professors, institutions, policy makers, and scolars across the world.

I shall be providing some information on this very question in the near future (I have all the necessary information from Dr. Dompere).

Finally, you would have avoided the hearsay if you had read these works. As I said before, they are offer a rigorous scientific, mathematical, and philosophical treatment of the subject matter, Nkrumahism. Unfortunatley, reading your article does tell me you are talking about something else.

I don't think you are writing about Nkrumahism. Prempeh can then come back and tell us what these books say, with his critique. You may also want to tell your readers why Nkrumah became "Africa's Man of the Millennium."

Francis have mercy for he is only a mere mortal. What you have just done is like dropping an atomic bomb on a poor beggar.

For the guy to complete the 'homework' you gave given him, he will have to back to class 1 and work his way through the educational system to a doctorate level before he will begin to understand 5% of the task you have given him.

And by the way, who is the Prempeh chap you mentioned?

Dear Shabi,

You are welcome.

I don't think the man did any serious reading before embarking on this essay. It is all hearsay and childish as usual. Nothing serious.

Nkrumahism is being discussed by serious scholars and studied in institutions around the world, from Africa, Asia, Europe, Canada to America.

I will make this information available to readers in due course (Dr. Kofi Kissi Dompere has given me the necessary info/data on this question).

Nkrumahism does exist in "Knowledge Possibility Space". The abstract theories on Nkrumah's ideologies by Prof Kissi Dompere are just imaginative abstractions ( call it a mirage if you want) with a 'zero coefficient of existence' in the realm of the planet earth. His Categorical Conversions seems like an ancient alien theories to me. So complex that,I believe, only aliens from the outside world would get the grasp of its tenets.

Francis, you said Nkrumah was the first to introduce propaganda into Ghana's politics? My brother, it is either you are being mischievous or lack in depth knowledge or both about the political history of this country. This is why some body said your write up represents nothing but a work of a lazy student of history.Nkrumah's detractors(JB Danquah and others told Ghanaians then that Nkrumah had brought a God FROM Guinea called "Kankan Nyame" which is placed somewhere in the Castle.They said this because Nkrumah survived all the assasination attack on him and thought he had some spiritual powers protecting him.Fortunately for them and unfortunately for Nkrumah, he wasn't in the country when he was overthrown. Those who occupied the CASTLE couldn't tell Ghanaians that the Kankan Nyame was actually in the castle.Please spare us that propaganda and don't be like your progenitors. Eyes are watching.

Dear Prempeh,

It should be on Ghanaweb.

Please go back and read the technical texts I gave you before we can start any serious debate.

I need to to put you in a better shape before we can begin any serious discussion. For now what you present hear is hearsay yellow journalism.

It has nothing do with Nkrumahism. Avail yourself of the technical, scientific, and philosophical texts I have already given you (texts discussed, consulted, and discussed across the world).

To tell you the truth, I don't even know how to describe the substance of your article except to I will not waste my time discussing its demerits, for it is neither scientific nor technical (not even philosophical/mathematical).

Please listen to Dr. Otto and don't waste my time. And even your own time. No article like yours can explore the highly technical, scientific, mathematical, dense, and scientific as Dr. Dompere does in his internationally patronized academic texts.

Good day.

He know nothing, all what he does is to cut and paste, he can't write any Educative article on his own, I mean creatively with his own English. His I.Q. especially English grammar is inadequate for him to write on his own without copying.

Trust me to camouflage readers anything freely written by Francis Kwarteng are gargantuan words he compiles direct from the dictionary.

Don't take him serious he will pollute you with "copied" half baked information. He is a trash!!!

Which part of your body is your head on?

Thanks.

There was/is nobody more practical than Nkrumah. His legacy is a testimony of that. When the USSR offered free scholarships for Africans to come and train as Doctors,Engineers etc he duly obliged. And, Mr FORSON has the audacity to call him a communist because of that. How do you define practicality? Then also, UAE, developed rapidly under "absolutism" call it dictatorship if you like-as UP/NLM supporters called Nkrumah. The sheiks, have also used the immense wealth of the state very well by adopting "socialists" principles where every citizen gets a free house,medical care etc.They do not have to pay extortionate rents to "Rachman-like" landlords. No different from what Nkrumah embarked upon when he started modestly with Tema township. In a nutshell,dictatorship and a dose of socialism has worked well for the citizens of UAE. Yes, the sheiks,live in a "veritable orgy of opulence" but the average UAE citizen is also catered for. Raw unadulterated "dog eat dog" capitalism would have bred antagonism. A good examples of capitalist nonsense can be found in our own backyard... Nigeria,Gabon and Angola. Interestingly, the founder of HSBC started peddling in Opium and you are a beneficiary of that "immoral" trade. The only lies Nkrumah told Ghanaians were the list of schools, hospitals and factories that he used our resources to build.

Wow Nsia, wu su wu ye bue!! Damn! This last shot was apt, concise and to the point.

I hope those poor lost souls - particularly our new friend called Prempeh, who it seems on the surface, is genuinely naive without malice, will revisit this discussion to read this classic comment of yours.

You know, sometimes I think that people like us are truly 'blessed' in the real sense of the word. Whatever it is or was, that gave us the rare privilege and opportunity to be sentient to the genuine essence of the evolution of mankind from the old wicked imperialist order to a more just and moral future where the respect by all men for all men shall prevail and the ability to 'see' beyond the paltry capacity of our still mentally enslaved brothers and sisters, must have been heaven sent - that is, for the immediate lack of a proper description, by divine ordinance. We are truly 'ELECT' (chosen by God for divine spiritual favor) in the political sense of the word.

Anyway, let us persist and continue to 'evangelize' so that other less fortunate brothers and sisters shall one day in the near future, also benefit from and enjoy the distinction of this rare joy and pleasure of being free from the blinding and oppressive shackles of the pervasive imperialist hegemony.

I think the mistake we often make is to underestimate and rubbish everyone. I find this common with Africans. I have lived in a country where millionaires ride bicycle and shop their own groceries. In Ghana and of course Africa people have the need to show that they are above others. We live in a 'do you know me' society and not ready to learn from anyone. The truth is that advance countries are where they are because they respect everyone's view. They allow the most ridiculous idea the space to be introduced and this is why they keep changing the world. It is a learning and thinking society. We are quick to rubbish everything and tell people they are nobody to be making certain points. Reading through the comments I realize this quite well. Shabi asks who is the Prempeh chap? Well Prempeh Forson is Project Manager, He was in charge of the vaccines and diagnostics LAN network qualification for Novartis Pharmaceutical Org. Switzerland. He has managed projects in built environments in the UK for several big Real Estimate Companies and has been a Senior Project Manager for the HSBC Bank based at Canary Wharf London. He is Co-Founder of an Educational Consultancy firm in Ghana introducing several innovative tools to improve on quality learning and general improvement in Education. He holds MSc. from Warwick University and has absolutely no need for Ph.D. You acquire education the moment you complete Senior Secondary school and you are able to read and write well. From that point if you enjoy learning you can pursue it without even going to the University, at least for certain disciplines. Let's do well to tolerate everyone's view. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was not anymore educated than I am. He didn't complete his Ph.D not that couldn't. The point is that he read a lot, he educated himself even after university. Everyone of us can do the same. Just because you have spent years reading about Kwame Nkrumah and what he wanted to achieve does not make you all round knowledgeable, it only makes you knowledgeable in Nkrumaism and for all you know a lot of the analysis made about him are false. People wrote them and most came from their interpretation of things he did or said and wrote while alive.

WE SAY: Great you succeeded!

But, to say that Nkrumah's greatest achievement is the belief in African unity shows a shallow depth of knowledge about Nkrumah's achievements for Ghana, Africa, and the World.

THEN THIS: "..... You acquire education the moment you complete Senior Secondary school and you are able to read and write well..."

WE SAY: We thought education is a life-long project for a human being! Maybe that is why Nkrumah "spent years reading".

Education in a formal context starts from nursery to Senior secondary school (basic education) and then onto tertiary education for diploma, degrees in specialized areas. Informal education is Learning outside of school setting. The moment you acquire basic education you can continue learning till you die. Even without basic education you still keep learning. So Learning is a life-long quest in the search for knowledge and the use of it. Formal Education has its limit but Learning is Life-long and it is for everyone with or without formal education.

Mr Forson, if I were you I would not have continued with this last bit that you have just added about 'education'. It was just convoluted semantics that was seemingly aimed at saving your integrity.

Your article, "What is Nkrumaism" was a complete and ignominious dud. It exposed an embarrassing lack of intellectual ability and depth of the writer (yourself). It again exposed the fact that you are just merely another one of those Africans who desperately swot only just to get nicey-nicey certificates to escape from the induced poverty of Africa to reach high-paying head-in-the-sky jobs abroad. And unlike Prof Lungu, I hesitate to call that success. I think it is a kind of escapism.

I think that people like Prof Lungu and Francis Kwarteng, who have also excelled in their chosen fields of professional aspiration but who have simultaneously, got their heads firmly screwed on, are the true and admirable African African intellectuals.

Any knowledge that does not impressively address the improvement of ones individual and collective circumstances, is wasted - and quite often, simulated or counterfeit knowledge.

Of course, 'intellectuals' or professionals of your sort are not obliged to reach out beyond the selfish confines or personal interest but mind you, your children and their childrens children will be born to live and to to face the same shame of being just another stupid nigger out there. They, like you and I, will also wonder what their forefathers did to alleviate and improve the quality of life and the living conditions of the African race.

I am sure that whilst working with those high-flying corporate institutions in Europe, you will probably agree with me, after all said and done that, you are just still merely another 'dirty black nigger', scorned, isolated and belittled in the eyes of your professional colleagues and the average 'whitee' on the street.

This is why the educational needs of the African, needs to go beyond limited personal ambitions, to the need to re-equip oneself with the intellectual capacity to extricate the people of Africa from the debilitating clutches of global capitalism/imperialism.

The fact that upon all your 'education' and professional 'success' - ostensibly as a scientist, you have not scientifically interrogated Nkrumaism, tells me that you are living in a time warp that is stuck somewhere in the 18th century.

Finally, the fact that upon all your 'education' and professional 'success' your article only managed to reduce your stature to that of those boorish, uncouth and uneducated anti-Nkrumaist gremlins on this platform who do not have the capacity to read but only to castigate and insult, evokes tons of commiseration from my heart to you.

Your message was clear enough. By the way, what is intellectualism? It comes down to logical reasoning and application of knowledge for the benefit of society. This is why there are illiterate intellectuals. This is why our culture is full of philosophy built by our ancestors who didn't have formal education. Consider this: "A child cracks the shell of a snail and not a Tortoise" This is why people spend time to write Ph.D thesis base on Sir Richard Branson's business model although he didn't make it past Six Form. All great nations have many heroes and history records both their greatness and flaws. Other cultures are honest when it comes to this. If Winston Churchill was Ghanaian I do not think we would write about his failures and portray him as almost a 'loser' but British historians do so with honesty and that makes him even more inspiring as a leader. The idea that Ghana must live and breath on Nkrumah's ideology alone is a complete nonsense. Let's begin to think and find new ways. I am a 2015 man and I am looking ahead with the past experience as a guide in order not to repeat my mistakes and that's what Ghana needs. How do we build the 2015 Ghana? This is the question on my mind daily. If White folks do not respect me there is nothing I can do about it. But I can help develop my country and live in it and I refuse to accept that Europeans and Americans are out to prevent me from doing so. If we stop stealing and misusing our resources we can develop Ghana. They couldn't stop United Arab Emirates and China. Blaming Western powers for our failure only amounts to admission of our foolishness. It is a competitive world so wake up.

Dear Shabi,

Premepeh Forson can help himself by using this parial list (over four hundred texts/sources; I have also included some highly technical economic texts for Forson. He/she should see the last set of texts.

It is however important that Forson understands how economic theory works in order to understand Nkrumahism.

YOUR: "...Let's do well to tolerate everyone's view..."

WE SAY: This is Ghanaweb. Some will, some won't. So, it does not mean people will not push back at you right, or wrong. In other words, on this forum, there is absolutely no need to take umbrage at that, in personal terms

THEN THIS: "...Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was not anymore educated than I am. He didn't complete his Ph.D not that couldn't..."

WE SAY: We do not get there with "Senior Secondary school" idea that does not fly.

In fact, the so-called "Senior Secondary School" is a latter day mis-innovation, a Rawlingsian crap of an idea that has made a joke of the entire Ghana education system, more like a latter day HSBC bank plunder of other peoples' financial resources.

ITEM: And that part about Nkrumah's Ph.D., and your MSc...that, we do not have time, today!

Peace!

I don't care about certificates and titles and that's why I don't put any at the end of my name. I just wanted to tell Shabi who the Prempeh chap is. Warwick University was ranked 5th in the UK when I arrived there as student. The math department is ranked 2nd after Cambridge but guess what? They have Professors with only bachelor degree. There is a popular Physicist with Bachelors degree who has supervised so many Ph.D thesis. Please let's move away from this whole academic thing. Nkrumah had Masters degree and I have the same true or false? Not that it matters. Bill Gate doesn't have masters degree yet smarter than many with Ph.D Learning is up to you. Have a good day Prof.

Mr Forson, I have only just returned to the article from last night to assess reactions - if any and just so that I am not misunderstood, the only reason I asked (at 02.47) who the Prempeh chap was, in reation to Francis Kwartengs comment, was that when reading your article, I just gleaned at the name of the writer and as a real-live victim of imperialist education, it was only the colonial appendage to your name - that is Forson that stuck on my mind. So when Francis made an allusion to a 'Prempeh', I was wondering who he was referring to. Thats about it.

As a cultured and diligent Nkrumaist, Im only clearing the air so that I do not appear to some - especially the rabid acrimonious anti-Nkrumaists, as if Im arrogantly questioning your right and your credibility to be on the platform.

Thank you mucho.

Simply put,it is the ideals and vision of the great man and how this ideals and vision can be interpreted from theory to practice.

Fortunately many Africans and diasporian black scholars have taken up the fight.Universities all over the world are digesting the challenges of his vision and Ghana must back up or fall behind.

Interestingly the Francis Kwartens and the Prof. Lungus are carrying out the fight here. Kudos to them.

I can tell you without mincing words that Nkrumah couldn't unite Africa at that time. Never. Yes, I said that because there are plenty of reasons to support.

Even if he is still our president, he couldn't do it. When he was president, was Ghana well united under his watch? He couldn't see eye to eye with the opposition let alone an entire continent. Tweakai.

I have a question for Nkrumah's admirers. When he was president, who was his vice? Here was a man who believe that no one in Ghana can deputize for him and how then can he unite an entire continent? Commonsense folks. Our first president thought he was too wise and on one was equal to him and that pushed him to make unpardonable mistakes leading to his overthrow.

My question again is, who was his vice president? I need and answer.

Dear Prempeh,

If you want a serious academic discussion (a highly technical discussion scientific, mathematical, epistemological, and philosophical) of the subject matter (Nkrumahism), please do yourself a favor by reading the following works (Author is Dr. Kofi Kissi Dompere):

1) "The Theory of Philosophical Consciencism: Practice Foundations of Nkrumahism"

2) "The Theory Of Categorial Conversion: Rational Foundations of Nkrumahism"

3) "Polyrhythmicity: Foundations of African Philosophy"

4) "African Union: Pan African Analytical Foundations"

5) "Africentricity and African Nationalism"

These five, especially the first four, are what are being discussed today among experts, researchers, professors, institutions, policy makers, and scolars across the world.

I shall be providing some information on this very question in the near future (I have all the necessary information from Dr. Dompere).

Finally, you would have avoided the hearsay if you had read these works. As I said before, they are offer a rigorous scientific, mathematical, and philosophical treatment of the subject matter, Nkrumahism. Unfortunatley, reading your article does tell me you are talking about something else.

I don't think you are writing about Nkrumahism. You may also want to tell your readers why Nkrumah became "Africa's Man of the Millennium."

Nkrumaism is nothing but our first president's quack idea of "one-man-showmanship, one party state and dictatorship, imprisonment without trial, neglecting his nation and hurriedly, focusing to unite a continent at a time when some nations are too "raw" to understand his ideas.

Sarpong's problem must be his upbringing and home training brought about in his formative years or he must be sick and needs a doctor's help.

This repetitive Sarpong's insults and ceaseless profanities, it’s like having someone with Tourette’s permanently sitting opposite you.I just can't stand him though he has my sympathy.

And by the way Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterised by tics - involuntary, rapid, sudden movements that occur repeatedly.

It can be particularly debilitating because the vocal tics can include the uncontrollable use of obscene language - known as coprolalia - and repetition of phrases the person hears others use - called echolalia.

He needs psychological help and our sympathy.

Patrick, you really must be new to this platform. I say so because quite a number of contributors on this platform are obstinately ignorant and they respond only to the whims and caprices of our colonial tyrants. They have been diabolically manipulated to reject anything that bodes well for the Blackman.

They are too far gone down the doldrums of darkness to be rescued with the tonic of knowledge - in fact they pompously reject knowledge. All that one needs to do is to mention the name Kwame Nkrumah and they melt into schizophrenic fits and tantrums.

However, they gladly and gleefully lend themselves to be remote-controlled by the bigotry of the imperialist corporate media, to fight as rebels against the cause of the Blackman.

They do not have any respectable Black personalities as icons. The icons they have are relics of the glorious days of imperialism who owned African slaves themselves or who either supervised the tyranny of colonialism or benefited from it.

The writer of the above childish article falls in that unfortunate category. When I consider the fact that this person who took his time to write this article must have been serious in doing so and therefore, publicly making a fool of himself, I feel some amount of pity for him.

You miss the point. It was in our best interest as Ghana to unite with other African countries as we had common economic & social circumstances. In a world of big powerful nations, independence meant little for any small country in Africa. Look at us today, totally dependent on "donor" countries for a very significant part of our national budget. That's why those countries can force us to adopt homosexual practices against our values. It's only forced down the throats of countries that are deoendent on the neo-colonial system & powers.

Prempeh Forson, the fact is that most intellectual are just copy clerks, who copy the work of others and do not invent anything. Let us take ourselves into dialectics. Every system is a unity in itself that is the reason why the human body is a single entity. Human body parts do not float in the air so that when another part need it should shout and call it. So biological unity from the dialectical point view is applied to herds and society. Or let us say even in the wild strong animals like lions live in a pride. Prempeh Forson you will be telling us that because your grandfather saw the need for a family the reason why you copied him to also have a family.
In nature the same species of animal come together because they are instinctively guided that in their numbers lies strength. However human society is not a priory society. It is a society made up of reasonable animals. Thus the unity of societies is not the same. U.S, Soviet Union and even Brazil were all formed for different purposes. The U.S. was not formed with the purpose to liberate any American colony from the imperialist. It was formed with the purpose of bringing slave and drug traders together and protect their interest. The Soviet Union was formed to protect the people of the former Tsarist Russia, minus Finland from foreign occupation and oppression.
Thus the unity of Africa has a different purpose which comprises of liberating the whole continent of Africa from foreign domination and raising the living condition of the people through education, industry and trade.
There is something that Nkrumah and Nkrumahism achieved that other forms of emancipation of man fail to achieved. At the end of the second world war the forces of Britain and U.S. froze when they got to the borders of the fascist regimes in Southern Europe, which were themselves fascist states and allies of Hitler. Even NATO did not have the moral and courage up to date to fight the remnants of fascism on he borders. One cardinal point in the formation of the Soviet Union which we already stated was the emancipation of man, the eliminating of discrimination and colonialism. The European Union and U.S. are still struggling with how to emancipate the human person, because their ideas were to suppress on group of people in the interest of others and that is why racial subjugation still remain in the U.S. and Europe up to date. The new idea of unity of all races in the Soviet Union led to that country's second president coming from Georgia, a small Southern European nation. Let it be noted that even Russian slavery system was different from that of America and Europe, thus a slave of African decent rise to become the third in command of the Russian forces in the 18th century. It further goes to prove that the idea of unity even in nature as you are well aware as a biologist is not the same. Let us again call on dialectics. The unity of the human body with vitamins that he consume are different from a virus that is transmitted to him by let say a mosquito. While as you know the vitamin goes into the human body to enhance its biological properties, the virus goes in to destroy it. That also have to do with socioeconomic systems that socialist countries in Eastern Europe lived in peace, but as soon as they introduced market economy it lead to wars and disintegration of most of them. The United States of America is not and does not look like the Soviet Union and the EU is also different from the U.S., though they are all unities. All tribes like slaughtering fouls, but each tribe dress it is own way.
The torch of liberation that Kwame Nkrumah lighted on 6/3/1957 lead not only to the liberation of Africa, but as well the overthrow of fascist regimes in Southern Europe. Thu it was no only the idea of unity of Nkrumah that is unique from others, but also is liberation struggle.
You acted like a butcher who went to the veterinary laboratory to conduct an operation and flopped badly. Nkrumaist are able to perform better than others in the Ghanaian economy and also in all aspects of human endeavour, then why is the case that the fools who are Nkrumaist by virtue of their ideology are performing better than those wise people who do not want even to hear the name Nkrumah.

Nkrumahism was not about 'fan club'
I would tell the writer what it means. Its the totality of Nkrumahs teaching and political philosophy.It short first it was about political freedom, self government and self determination. Having won the first objectives he set about creating the country Ghana by uniting the various ethnic groups into a nationhood. He promoted local cultures and languages, expanded primary,secondary and tertiary education through out the country. He sought to abolished elitism and class division promoted by UGCC. Post 1950-56 he set about instituting and promoting economic development. He also created modern state institutions such banks, marketing boards and import substitution industries etc.
Pan-Africanism was a major Nkrumahist philosophy.The idea that Africam culture was worth promoting, that Africa was also home to black people in the dispora.That black people all over the world needed to unite inorder to fight racism,discrimination and poverty.
Nkrumah did not copy the concept of African Unity from the Us or EUrope. He realised that colonization had balkanised African continent into several non viable mini states,curved out without regard to economics or ethnicity and local conditions. He felt that Africa's economic and politcal development lies in undoing the artificial borders left by colonial powers.
I could go on and on.I think the above is good starting point.
If the writers remains uninformed bout Nkrumahism I could help him out.

You tried to hide your hatred for Nkrumah, Prempeh Forson, but smart you are not and wise you could not be. If the idea of NATO formed in 1949 before Nkrumah's OAU ideas is proof he is not original them why should all you hypocrites talk about anyone in Ghana with ideas? Every Ghanaian today, including Kufour, Nana Akufo-Addo, J.B. Danquah and other idiots Kufour called the big 6 is a farce is it not? Most of Ghana’s so-called intellectual were trained in civilized developed nations where they were molded, positively or negatively. Nkrumah chose to bring back to Ghana what worked in other nations to Ghana and Africa while others like J.B. Danquah and your heroes brought back the selfishness of superiority over Ghanaians but downright mentally enslaved by the belief that anything originating from outside Africa stood to be superior.

By the way, did Europeans and or the Americas design the concept of freedoms? Do you know anyone that was birthed to have had chains or ropes through the nose? So why would anyone credit a nation with claim to freedom of speech and or liberty?

Nkrumah told a lot of lies in terms of the impressive infrastructure that he built within Ghana. Can Mr Forson give us a list of sec schools,poly"s, hospitals etc that were built in Ghana between 1966-1979? JB Danquah"s grand plan of "selective democracy" was to disenfanchise 90% of Ghanaians who were not rich or educated,that is why he was soundly rejected by the populace and the "plough boy" succeeded. Linkedin tells me, Mr Forson works for the fourth biggest bank in the world HSBC. Can Mr Forson, furnish us with a list of "poverty" alleviating projects that his employers are financing in Ghana? We will forever be grateful for the 16,000 dollars HSBC forked out of their meagre $18.68 billion profit to finance the water project in Ghana in 2014. I am sure Mr Forson is doing his bit to help our motherland but are his employers doing the same in terms of Loans for solar,biomass plants,railways etc in Ghana? Did Nkrumah deliberately kick out all the capitalists or forcibly seize lands from ordinary Ghanaians as prescribed by avowed communists to the state? No. Nkrumah was as communist as Mr Forson is a native of Laos! Ghanaians, we have nothing to fear but a well funded lies and distortions from UP/NLM supporters to discredit a Legend who did so much for Ghana.

Nice one Nsia. You know it is such a shame that some Ghanaians cannot as much as be even grateful to Kwame Nkrumah for dredging the image of the Black African race from the doldrums of racial shame, stigma and backwardness. Having achieved this most phenomenal historical accomplishment, which even his most vocal critics have unwittingly benefited from, they however still persist in demonizing the man in spite of all that he has done for them and us all.

I can appreciate traitors like JB Danquah who were paid - even if it was peanuts, to obstruct, vilify and if possible, to assassinate Nkrumah. But I often wonder what some of these nonentities on Ghanaweb gain from their fault-finding diatribes against Nkrumah?

The most amazing part about all this is that even when their ignorance and untruths are exposed, these shameless people keep on repeating the same lies and statements of ignorance for which other more informed people on this platform, belittle and demean them with life-time indelible insults.

Shabi and All,
Like Shabi, we also returned to the paper early this morning and saw your question and the response from Prempeh Forson. In effect, Prempeh Forson turned what to us was easily a rhetorical question into an exposition about himself compared to Kwame Nkrumah. There is something not quite straight about this essay and the responses from the writer about fundamental point of fact about the achievements of Nkrumah.

A quirk in our schedule allowed us to make those two comments, before now!

The central thesis of the paper says Nkrumah's greatest achievement was engendering the belief about African Unity. That is absent-minded as we've already said. Patrick O. Kumi, Philadelphia, addressed this problem when he said, "...The writer of this post only makes statements that I believe he was told because none of the facts (he) seeks to present can be found in any book. You cannot rewrite history...."

We are in agreement with Patrick O. Kumi, Philadelphia!

The Francis Kwarteng reading list might be a good start to the "truth" and the scholarship, if Prempeh Forson cares.

ITEM: From the essay and responses to comments from Prempeh Forson, , Prempeh Forson set out specifically to disparage Kwame Nkrumah by comparing his achievement(s) with Nkrumah. Abeeku Mensah also, was on to that, saying Prempeh Forson "...tried to hide...(his)... hatred for Nkrumah, Prempeh Forson, but smart you are not and wise you could not be..." It is akin to when another Danquah-Busia confederate cohort compared the number of cars he has shipped this 21st century to Ghana to the number of cars (Zero) Nkrumah shipped to Ghana in the 1940s.
The absurdity ought to be clear to all who are "smart".

In closing on this one, here is the elementary point for Prempeh Forson: He ought to consider that while he has had all the freedom, liberty, and opportunity to freely pursue his "education" and personal-cum-capitalist dreams (quite possibly in some of the schools and facilities Nkrumah programmed), Nkrumah made a different, more significant choice straight out of Achimota. To the point, after his "education", Nkrumah dedicated his entire life and career to freedom and independence for Ghana. He could easily have joined many of the elites in the Gold Coast and spent his time in such of the capitalist dream in colonial Ghana, perhaps working in a colonial HSBC Bank, or colonial Novartis pharmacy, after the US government itself relocated a Centers for Disease control facility from newly independent Ghana because Kwame Nkrumah wanted respect for Ghana and recognition of sovereignty for Ghana, in Africa.

Greetings to all!

What is Nkrumaism?
