    It is not all Ghanaians that are as ungrateful as Nkrumah who wil not give the least credit to people who brought him into the independent struggle. People like Pratt will always talk for their stomach so do not mind them.

    There is not a thing wrong about making mention at Ghana @ 60 all those that contributed with the struggle of our independence. This is no debate,this is a fact being told.

    Most Africans heap praises on Rawlings for good job done in the revolution time. But me and you know the carnage he caused in our beloved country. So stop the unnecessary argument and thinking you are Mr Know All in Ghana. ...

    Your point about Rawlings is correct but the whole analogy is not right. As times moves on Nkrumah earns more respect but the image of rawshit continues to rot

    That man shouldn't confuse students with his lawless degree which can't be found in the glob.Most shorts like him thinks ant-clockwise.

  • Samuel Adjenim Boateng 7 years ago

    Sometimes, I feel ashamed for Kwesi Pratt and his line of argument. Who is making an attempt to denigrate Kwame Nkrumah? Besides, which aspect of Nana Addo's historical submission is wrong?

  • Again. 7 years ago

    Mr. Pratt your respect is no more exciting.

  • Mawutor 7 years ago

    What did Pratt say? Myopic minded people always insult people without stating their own positions. Is it because Nana is the president so if he goes wrong he must not be told? Praise singers leave Pratt alone and learn.

    Between Nana and Pratt who knew Nkrumah personally. Kwesi Pratt and his fake Pan Africanist never came closer to Nkrumah but always speaks as if they lived with him in a room.
