    Your father was the first prime minister on Ghana after independence. He was brought into Ghana politics by the UGCC and that cannot be wished away. Nkrumah cannot be described as the founder of the nation, GHana

    You see how useless university graduates like your type are. I don't know why university graduates cannot think deeply. No wonder Ghana is retrogressing in the midst of plenty.

    Agbesi kwesi you're not smart at all.
    Ok base on your reasoning Nana Addo is not the president of Ghana. Because Nana Addo had the chairman of NPP including all the other people who did a serious campaign for him to win powe ...

    Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was only a 'traitor and a usurper'. He only came to consume what was already cooked, by the sweat and toil of the real Ghana's independent strugglers. The question is, if Dr. Nkrumah was the only freedom fig ...

    Nkrumah founded Ghana period

  • Pelicles 7 years ago

    To you, he is the sole founder of Ghana and that makes sense to you. Right? He annexed western Togo to be part of Ghana and that is the end of the debate.

    How can a single man do that? Remember that someone bought his tick ...

  • Abeeku Mensah 7 years ago

    Soldiers go to war and win or lose it is a fact that leaders who send them to war and the leaders on the battle field who get the glory or blame. Why do you think the UGCC brought in Nkrumah from outside Ghana if the UGCC fol ...

    Nkrumah was such a distator that his own CPP members had wanted to kill him at Kulungugu. Nkrumah killed allwho opposed him at Nsawam Prison and drove others into exile. He made himself a life President without a Vice.

    Is Kwame Nkrumah Jusus? What a hell do you want to tell us? Give us a break!

  • Kontonkyi 7 years ago

    He can not be Jesus but he is who he was. He built the foundations for you to be educated and probably the very school that you attended was built by him.

  • Original Ghanaba 7 years ago

    History is so clear. I simply can't understand why we refuse to read about the history of Ghana!
    Many people laid down their lives before Nkrumah was invited by UGCC. Being our first president, he should be included as one ...

    Samia much as we appreciate the individual role your father played let us not forget to recognize the pivotal roles the others played.Most of the time the Interlectuals forget the "Grassroots".

  • Kontonkyi 7 years ago

    Not at all, he was a leader, and a great one who was able to mobilize the masses. When Nkrumah is spoken off, we never forget the veranda folks and the role folks like Gbedema played, we only speak of Nkrumah as the leader. ...

    Nkrumah was the Pan-Africanist and a catalyst for the way forward.

  • Paul 7 years ago

    Where were you? Your father was a dictator and a murderer. Can you count innocent people Nkrumah killed in Nsawam prison? Samia , murderer daughter, don't talk nonsense

  • JH New York. 7 years ago

    Nkrumah never killed anyone.Danquah was picked up by Intelligence Radar. Samia was around but a kid as she was.So, you rather should stop the nonsense and the trash you spin.
