'PIE CONSPIRACY FAILS:
The main mistakes made by Gbedemah and his patrons which led to the fiasco of the planned coup d'etat were their underestimation of the influence and popularity of Dr. Nkrumah and the Convention People's Party among the Ghanaian population, and an overestimation of the possibi-lities and power of the opposition. Very often the nature of the cult of Nkrumah and "" Nkrumaism "" in Ghana are misinterpreted abroad.
Frequently this cult is pictured as the deification of the dictator forced up on the people.
In reality one has to spend but a few days in Ghana to become convinced that it is the people of that country, true to their national traditions, who put the Osagyefo on a pedestal and took an oath of allegiance and loyalty to him. Explanation must be sought not only in the personal qualities of Dr. Nkrumah as a man but mainly in the successes scored by Ghana under his leadership.
In 1961, Ghana demonstrated that she can develop independently and not only without guidance on the part of the Europeans but even in conditions of imperialist resistance. The "" Ghanaisation "" of the state apparatus and the army has been carried out in the country. Great changes were carried out in Ghana's economy as a result of nationalising a number of large enterprises engaged in the mining of gold and diamonds, foreign trade, the purchasing of agricultural products, etc.
The living standards of the popula-tion showed a steep rise and proved the highest in tropical Africa. Measures taken by the government to create the state sector of the economy and restrictions put on foreign capital provided opportunities for starting planned development of the country. The country's constitution introduced by the British was revised. Parliament began to play an active role. Of special interest in Ghana is the establishment of the Auditor-General's Office.
The Auditor-General enjoys complete indepen-dence and controls the entire financial activities of governmental institutions. The reports of the Auditor-General, very often critical of ministers and government departments, are published regularly.
All these measures ensured popularity for Kwame Nkrumah and his Convention People's Party the latter doubling the number of members from one to two million people in 1960-1961. By that time opposition had no serious support of the masses to speak of. It was backed in Ghana solely by Nkrumah's personal enemies who were striving for power and enrichment, as well as by heads of some tribes who sacrificed the general interests of the nation for clannish ones. The majority of the
opposition leaders enjoyed the notoriety of specu-lators, dishonest businessmen and intriguers.
The well-planned and thoroughly prepared campaign of strikes and riots in Ghana did not yield the desired results. The actions of the restricted group of plotters were not supported by the entire population of Ghana. Gbedemah saved his skin because he did not take the decisive step.
As a result the only thing he brought upon himself was Nkrumah's admonitions and accusation of passivity and shilly-shallying during the height of disorders.
All this undermined Gbedemah's position.
Besides, he had all grounds to believe that in the long run the Ghanaian security services would reach him too. He felt that he was losing ground and that the best move now would be to flee from Ghana.
Gbedemah's friends in Washington also arrived at the conclusion that his further stay in Accra was not only dangerous but also quite inadvisable. The failure of the coup only served to strengthen Nkrumah's regime and made conditions very difficult for the opposition and foreign agents.
It was, therefore, decided to make Gbedemah leader of the opposition in "" voluntary exile "" and entrust him with organising compaigns of slander so as to compromise Nkrumah, as well as with preparing another plot, aimed at assassinating Nkrumah and at changing the regime in Ghana.
The Americans recommended that Gbedemah act in close contact with Busia so as to use the United Party for the preparation of the coup, and that he try and rally all opposition forces. Special agents in U.S. higher educational establishments as well as in those of Europe started working on the Ghanaian students abroad with the view of winning them over to the side of the conspirators.
Certain African leaders who resented the popularity of Nkrumah in Africa were also to be used in the campaign of compromising Ghana's President.
On September 29, 1961 in compliance with instructions, Gbedemah gave his consent to resignation, which Nkrumah suggested he should hand in, and declared that from then on he would continue his political activities as a private person.
THE HORNET'S NEST:
On an October day in 1961, after closing hours, several people came together in one of the shops near the railway station in Lome. When they came to the door of the shop they looked around them nervously. Everything went on as in a classical detective story. There was the special knock on the door, the password and even several masks.
However, no masks could conceal from the citizens of Lome the too familiar figures of Togo's Minister of Internal Affairs, Teophil Mally,, and the Commissar of Police of the city of Lome, C. Dekon.
It was more difficult to identify the man with typical Anglo-Saxon features.
But the name of Leonard Desimus meant absolutely nothing to anyone who did not know that it was an alias of George Davis, representative of one of the most powerful western intelligence services. It was this man who declared the meeting of the conspirators open.
Gbedemah briefed the participants on that clandestine meeting on the situation in Ghana.
He said among other things that in Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and other cities, especially in the north of the country, there are persons dissatisfied with Nkrumah's socialism and prepared to take very decisive steps against it. In this way the Americans thought to remove Gbedemah's rival at the last moment.
Happy days had begun for Gbedemah. The British began to show more interest in their graduate "", hatching plans similar to the American ones with the only difference that London was preparing Busia for the role of the future dictator, while Gbedemah was to be used for the cloak and dagger and then put on trial as an assassin.
Thus, American dollars and British pounds sterling started flowing with renewed force into Gbedemah's pockets.
He opened personal accounts in several banks in Geneva, Zurich and Basel.
He bought a villa in Nice for one of his mistresses, Dossea Kissey, and occasionally visited her there.
The lust for money in Gbedemah took the upper hand over fear or qualms of conscience. Putting with one hand the pounds sterling and with the other the American dollars into his pockets to pay the services of the terrorists and buy weapons for them, he meted out spurious banknotes for various other services, leaving the hard currency in his own bank accounts.
By the summer of 1962 the conspirators managed to complete a big part of their work. It was reported from Accra that everything was ready for the assassination of Dr. Nkrumah. K. Dekon, Lome's Police Commissar early that year shipped over the border a large consignment of leaflets, weapons and explosives. Several hundred plastic bombs were bought in Paris and shipped over to Lome.
Gbedemah's cousin Adjavon had a real military depot in his house in Lome which could probably compete in size with the national arsenals of Togo.
While visiting Hamburg in June, 1962, Gbedemah received 20,000 Ghanaian pounds from an Ameri-can representative and another 50,000 from London. Later on the U.S. Ambassador in Lome gave him another 50,000 as well as a special "" manual "" on the organisation of coup d'état, as well as weapons. Out of the 120,000 pounds Gbedemah paid 5,000 to the Ghanaian exile Salifu Imoro, a participant of the plot. And that he did only because it was in the house of Imoro in Lome the address of which is B.P. 20, that the above- mentioned George Davis had lived and who was not supposed to have even the remotest suspicions that Gbedemah was pocketing the money given to him.
The attempt on Nkrumah's life was fixed for August 1st, during his trip to the village of Kulun-gugu on the border with the Republic of Upper Volta. It is common knowledge that the assassins fired and missed. The arrests that followed dealt a heavy blow to Gbedemah's organisation although at that time very few people knew that it was Gbedemah himself who was in the centre of the conspiracy...."

Here is the reason why The CPP has never had any competent and charismatic leader to lead romped CPP after Nkrumah was chased out of the country. Nkrumah, the bruatal dictator, abandoned smart people and chosed Varanada Boys, Middle School Living Certificates, MSLC, holders( Krobo Adusei, DC Kwaakye...) as his lieutenants. He was self opinionated, and shunned people who were more intelligent than him. He indoctrinated these Zombies, the Young Pioneer, the Action Troopers etc who can be likened to the followers of Obinim and T.B Joshua.... and made himself a thin god over them. I remember one of his infamous quotes when he told his lobotomized-Zombies that " Do what I say, your duty is not to know why". And these sorry arses complied with glee. WHAT a sad story. In fact obey without complain has eaten into the heads of the so called Nkrumaihist of today, so much so that they cannot veer off the colonial doctrines of Dictator Nkrumah. These Nkrumah invented Lobomies are still mourning his ghost, and wish he could be resurrected one day to come and lead them.

To the warped minds of the typical Nkrumaists, Kwame Nkrumah's dictatorship never happened in Ghana; one party state was a dream; life presidency was our imagination; imprisonment without trial was our hallucination; and the massive euphoria that attended Nkrumah's final overthrow was our mass delusion!

Obetsebi Lamptey, and all those friends and compatritots of Nkrumah who were murdered, incarcerated or exiled by the man....They were all corrupt nation wreckers!

Nkrumah's descendant's, his Young Pioneers, minions and cronies, assigns, representatives, admirers and sycophants will never accede to power again forever because they are just mentally screwed!
For them to be taken seriously, the Nkrumaists must confess all Nkrumah's evil deeds here. In the end, that is how they can gain a modicum of redemption.This is because the typical Ghanaian's crippled intellectual ability, gullibility and vulnerability and lack of confidence and creativity all descend from Nkrumah's heritage which indoctrinated us in early childhood and made us receptacles to fakery and bad doctrines and took away from us the ability to ask questions and analyze incisively.
So when the Ghanaian is deceived by the fake pastors and political leaders or shamans and witch-doctors and online scammers, the source of his child-like faith and acceptance of all imposture is traceable to his young pioneer days, when the end all and be all of his life is to subject his intellect to the worship of a conceptual idol, and to praise and serve him for life. "NKRUMAH NEVER DIES"; "NKRUMAH DOES NO WRONG"; "NKRUMAH IS THE FOUNTAIN OF WISDOM"!!!
This is the time to free ourselves from the psychological shackles imposed on our minds by the great impostor, and to analyze and criticize and scrutinize these old assumptions which the great deceiver has implanted in our genes, making it impossible for us to decipher the good from the bad, the ugly and the evil....
And Nkrumaist devil worshippers, satanists, their agents, assigns, ideologues, praise singers, young pioneers, action troopers, eunuchs and hangers-on will all be condemned to the darkest catacombs of political Erebus, from whence their ideological screeching will become akin to the whimpering of Cereberus, the legendary dog of Hades when tamed by Heracles.
And when the final destruction of Nkrumania comes to pass, sane and sensible men will find better pastime for their talents, instead of spewing what is evolving here to be a trash heap the size of Mount Everest.
Cursed be the Nkrumaists idolaters, adulterers, witch-hunters, mummified idiots, masqueraders, mountebanks and necromancers.

There are lessons to be learned from the Nkrumah era and post Nkrumah's Ghana; it takes people with wisdom and foresight not classroom educated but ignorant Ghanaians or people claiming to be Ghanaians through parents. Hate Nkrumah if you must Dr. SAS, and you could even wish abd rain curses upon Nkrumahist if you wish but you, Dr. SAS, are ignorant as they come with Ghana's educated class having shown yourself to be a limited thinker encased in the four walls of a classroom.
To me there are lessons Ghanaians with functional inquisitive minds do learn unlike those full of tribal hatred and ignorance from our history past. Look around and read and you, Dr. SAS, with a little help from God, will be smart enough to ask yourself some why's and how's. Nkrumah and his government is not the only third world nation leader the British and USA have abhorred; these foreign powers have had their hands in destabilizing of nations around the globe for decades. The one small difference between destabilization of governments in Africa at the hands of the British and America and destabilizing activities in other parts of the world is that they, the British and the USA, walked away after the destruction of institutions in Africa for decades while the people suffer. Did Ghana receive the billions that the British and the USA pumped into Iraq, Afghanistan, Middle-Eastern nations, Japan and others after helping change governments or existing institutions? In Ghana, we were left to go through years of turmoil as military dictators came and went and today we have a classic case of a banana Republic while pretending we are a democracy. Was democracy and getting away from Nkrumah and his one party system not what you asked and got? Why then are you and other morons continue to stay away from the Ghana you built with a little help from your foreign governments? If the post Nkrumah Ghana is what you and other clansmen desire you got it and yet I do not see you running into Ghana to enjoy. In Nigeria for example the Biafran war raged on for years with the British and American governments providing arms to the national government while providing food for starving Biafrans to be killed by guns and bullets of the federal government. It is only animals, I know of that are intentionally fattened to be slaughtered but it happened with the Biafran war.

Thanks Bro. The Nkrumaists suffer from total amnesia and the purveyance of alternative facts, and will not smell a whiff of roguery from Nkrumah's conduct, no matter what evidence is adduced.
In fact Gbedenah did everything in his power to make Nkrumah President. While Nkrumah was languishing in jail, it was Gbedemah who went around organizing rallies with Nkrumah's life-sized portrait.
The man was by no means an angel, but he was the best friend of Nkrumah in all respects. The falling out of the two men was the result of Nkrumah's continued metamorphosis into a total tyrant. Gbedemah was no fool to sit around watching while Nkrumah jailed all his former friends and colleagues. That is why he fled the country.
Now this Lungu and his Nkrumaist friends are busy digging dirt on him as they have done to everybody else except Nkrumah himself, and he expects sane men to gobble his nonsense?

'PIE CONSPIRACY FAILS:
The main mistakes made by Gbedemah and his patrons which led to the fiasco of the planned coup d'etat were their underestimation of the influence and popularity of Dr. Nkrumah and the Convention People ...

Wow!
I am completely dumbfounded. What a shocker.
Thanks Prof Lungu for the education.
Well this is going to be my only comment on this article. Any reader who comes here under my name is a moniker thief.
Thanks.
I am in a way not surprised at all.Komla Gbedemah was always a bit too slick. And I always wondered as a young man then where he got his money from.
I will not be surprised that as this analytical work on Gbedema's role con ...

Gbedemah's party which contested the 1969 elections in Ghana was called the National Alliance of Liberals and not what you wrote here
They must be hanging their heads in shame now.
NATIONAL ALLIANCE of LIBERALS
The dumbfounded francis kwarteng, tries to speak but nonsense.
Let's see what kwarteng has written in his stupid comment:
>>> "Any reader who comes here under my name is a moniker thief."
Helloooo! January is almost gone. Even if you don'T need this, look around; SOMEONE AROUND YOU need this book! Are you yet to start something? Still confused about what investment options to choose for the year to maintain st ...

These so called Nkrumahists cannot seize amaze me. Prof Lungu must be a bad strategist if this is how you want to market the hard-to-sell Nkrumaihism to the Ghanaian electorate. You and Kwarteng have been recycling such chaff ...

People sholud not waste thier time on the two stupid fools, Kwarteng and Prof Lungu, they are both good for nothing.
This is a serious and truthful piece on Ghana's history. Consequently, the Ewe nationalists, the fervent sympathizers of Gbedemah, Kotoka, Harley and Deku who have been hiding behind the National Democratic Congress(NDC) in t ...

Lungu, with your warped mind, it will not surprise me if I read from you that the whole Howard Johnson incident was staged by Gbedemah and the US to screw Nkrumah. You Nkrumaists think everything is a conspiracy. Nothing hap ...

Peace!
We have lost forever. Let us now think of the good things NPP can offer Ghana now.
To the warped minds of the typical Nkrumaists, Kwame Nkrumah's dictatorship never happened in Ghana; one party state was a dream; life presidency was our imagination; imprisonment without trial was our hallucination; and the ...

HEY SAS, CURSE BE TO YOUR MOTHER INSTEAD. THIS TYPE OF AFRICAN LIKE SAS WILL ALWAYS BE A FOOL IN THE HANDS OF THE WICKED PALE FACE.
Tell us more, Dr. SAS, "unwarped", analytical mind!
Tell us about "all those friends and compatritots of Nkrumah who were murdered" by Nkrumah.
There are lessons to be learned from the Nkrumah era and post Nkrumah's Ghana; it takes people with wisdom and foresight not classroom educated but ignorant Ghanaians or people claiming to be Ghanaians through parents. Hate N ...

Gaze upon your serpentine rant and despair. See the extent to which your mind drifts from one topic to another. Your thoughts are all over the place like kerosine poured on a cement floor because you are incapable of any cohe ...

Dr. SAS, Attorney at Law,
From all your work on this paper and the many essays on record that you wrote, and other comments elsewhere, if anyone is unfocused, desperate, and a drifter "from one topic to another", it is you. ...

If Kwame Nkrumah srangled your Momma before your very eye-balls, you wil still call him your Messiah. So why should I, Dr. SAS, Attorney at Law, waste my time on air-brained minions like you.
Nkrumah killed more people th ...

Also remember that many people were greatly for Kwame Nkrumah before they saw him for what he really was and therefore were against him.
Evil genies operate that way, and could even deceive the greatest minds at least some ...

Wishy-washy!
Making stuff up IS your stock in trade, seriously.
Just talk, obfuscation, and LIES!
Not even 2 minor data points to prove your claims. We "you would have realized that by claiming that all Nkrumah's frie ...

Hehehehe!!! When I poked your eyeballs with all the data above and elsewhere, you called them "gutter"! But Ghanaians know all the facts about Nkrumah, and have therefore rejected him, his party, his,daughter his cronies and ...

I think Dr. SAS in right, Prof Lungu really lacks logical reasoning, he will jump from A over B and C to land in D...and that makes his write up uninteresting.
I mean Prof Lungu lacks proper reasoning!
Lungu, did Gbedemah not campaign for Nkrumah when the latter was imprisoned by the colonial government? But for his efforts, Nkrumah may not have won the elections. Is it not strange to you as a human being that any major f ...

Thanks Bro. The Nkrumaists suffer from total amnesia and the purveyance of alternative facts, and will not smell a whiff of roguery from Nkrumah's conduct, no matter what evidence is adduced.
In fact Gbedenah did everythin ...
