To me Nkrumah means: “Yes we can”. What an inspiration.
Nkrumah is a Human being, a man who does not see any difference between black and white and believe idiology of pocastination as a thief of time. And that political independence was now at that time. And above all, the black man is capable of managing his affairs. Black can do equally good as a white can.
To me Nkrumah is GREAT, He is very very important to me.
no wonder he the african of the century and to me the greatest african ever.
To me Dr.Nkrumah is an image to look at for believing in the power of the black man.When hear his name,i hear hope in all things i do towards sucess
I think we have allowed ourselves to be misinformed by people in whose interest it is to vilify and reduce the man’s standing to justify the senseless coup against him. It is shameful. Let us all read and get some education. Yes he made mistakes but judging and condemning him using those mistakes while deliberately obliterating every good thing he is hypocritical and unfair.
Nkrumah means: No matter who you are, where you are and what you are, u can still make it!!
Dr. Nkrumah is the star of Africa, he is very important
Dr. Kwame Nkrumah still inspires the youth who did not even meet him. His works and ideas are still relevant to the socio-economic development of Africa in general and Ghana in particular.
Nkrumah tells me that anything conceivable is achievable
To me Dr. Kwame Nkrumah is the most important person in spite of all the foundation he layed down we are not able to accomplished them not even 40% of the aims and achievements he had for the country and Africa as a whole.
i think Dr.Kwame Nkrumah is a great hero and he help our nation to achives its
independence so Dr kwame Nkrumah is a great man everybody must be taken as role model.
Kwame Nkrumah epitomizes a man who lived centuries ahead of his compatriots. He represents FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER AND HEALTH (both mental and moral) for his people. A man with unlimited intellectual power yet humble. That is why we are still struggling to understand him today.
TO ME,NKRUMAH IS A GREAT LEGEND,BRAVE ND INTELLIGENT.EVEN THOU,I WAS NT BORN AT AT HIS TIME,I STILL BELIEVE HE IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPEN TO AFRICA AND GHANA AS A WHOLE. I AM AFRAID,HE WILL BE VERY SAD WHERE EVER HE IS NOW.ANYWAY,LETS CELEBRATE HIM.
Ever since the president declared his intention to have Nkrumah’s birthday celebrated, Mr. Boye Doe have been jumping from station to station trying very hard to discredit Nkrumah. the last thing I expected was for Joy FM to offer its platform to this man to pursue his agenda.
If he is convinced that it was not Nkrumah who regained independence for Ghana, he together with people who think like him in the NPP should go to the world and sell their absurd suggestion to the World that it was JB Danquah not Nkrumah who gained independence for Ghana.
They should stop wasting our ears, and I entreat Joy FM not to waste its time on such people who cannot accept a simple fact that JB Danquah is just one of the numerous failed presidential candidates in Ghana’s history and CANNOT be compared to Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
I think Nkrumah is a great person and he deserve it and the politician on radio joy fm shld stop disturbing our hears, shouldn’t forget every human being has a bad and a good site so PLEASE. BRAVO NKRUMAH FOR BEING BOTH TODAY REALLY FREE FOR EVER MAY SOUL REST IN PEACE;
He is a Hero
Dr.Nkrumah is a great Personality but the question is;was the only one who fought for independence for Ghanaians?He is worth celebrating but we should not relegate the important role the others played towards our freedom.
A hero who believed in himself and his dream for Ghana
i think those who took the monies should simply step aside for the investigations to go on. Their continued stay in gov’t will make myself and other ghanaians loose confindence in our leadership and for that matter the Gov’t.
Nkrumah is a great political baron with with great aim, indeed he is a man with vision.
TO ME, THE MAN WAS A MAN OF VISION FOR THE CONTINENT.IF NOT DEATH,AFRICA WILL NOW BE A BED OF ROSE.
it’s a shame how history was distorted in such a way that most of us didn’t get the right information on Dr. kwame Nkrumah. thank God the truth about him is now coming out and eventually we will all know whether his overthrow was justify or not. this is a man whose vision is still alive today because he dreamt so many years into the future. now name any majoy thing in the country and it will be from his time. apart from the university of development studies, all the other public universities where built by him, now look at how bad a shape our public schools are in. what prevented the other regimes from accomplishing the things he set out to do. now look at ghana; without foreign support we cannot even make our budget. it’s a sad situation we are in. God help us.
