Media, Brands and Culture Specialist, King Kwasi Kyei Darkwah has stated that if any Ghanaian leader cannot honour their own, they are “fools”.
He made this statement on the GTV’s Breakfast Show.
Kwame Nkrumah was the first Prime Minister and President of Ghana, having led the Gold Coast to independence from Britain in 1957.
In remembering him 50 years since he died in 1952 at Romania after a short illness, King Kwasi Kyei Darkwah stated that “Kwame Nkrumah was a shepherd who chose not to be a shepherd for a small country like Ghana but for black people all around the world which is why he made a conscious effort to create synergies with great thinkers of the time”.
He added that “nobody has done everything legitimately correctly but having two bombs directed at you will lead you to protect yourself from harm”.
He indicated that “Kwame Nkrumah is studied all around the world so much so that Europe formed a union based on the principles that he had envisioned for Africa”.
He concluded by reiterating that “Kwame Nkrumah is the greatest that ever lived and it saddens me to see people in leadership in Ghana travel around the world and go and say somebody else in the world elsewhere was the greater that ever lived”.

Just to cure your ***barred word*** syndrome, his vision led to the realization of the freedom and empowerment of the whole of Africa and central America. In Ghana Osagyefo accomplishments are under listed and it is highly inexhaustible. I am from Tema so can speak on the ones he did in tema, Someone can add on Hea was the only black outside the West who was targeted by CIA, MI6 and others. He featured in all the classified meetings as the highest threat to western dominance so they used his own people to take him down. Do you see why the West don't care about our current leaders? Because they are ***barred word*** and daft. In fact omo ab)n especially the current one He reconstructed Tema community 1-12, Free education from creche to university Built 60 percent of teacher training colleges and nursing Constructed akosombo VRA which gave birth to ecg, gridco Massive road network throughout ghana Akosombo dam Tema Lube oil Numerous Goldmines in Ghana So many dams in the north Railway from tarkwa to tadi Tema general hospital Ghana Airways Gwcl Black star line Tema shipyard Tema Habour Valco TOR Gtp Atl SSNIT COCOBOD MOTORWAY GHACEM ALUWORKS ABOSO GLASS FACTORY 60% of Secondary schools Knust Umat Ucc Tema industrial Area zoning This was done in 9 years
@ Ghanaians thumb up for you. Apart from Akosombo Dam what else.
A GIGANTIC LIE. FALSE. A LEADER WHO TOOK OUR GOLD MONEY 13 MILLION POUNDS STERLING AND GIFTED IT TO GUNNEA AS A SUPPORT TO SAY NO TO FRENCH COLONISATION. YOU CALLED HIM GREAT. ALL THE PROBLEMS GHANA IS GOING THROUGH NOW IS THE FAULT OF KWAME NKRUMAH. MASSA, DURING HIS REIGH GHANA HAD AN ABUNDANT GOLD. If former President Kufour and the rest had access to all the proceeds of these resources they would have performed way better than Kwame Nkrumah. He was too power drunk. A leader who has not finished developing his country and you decided to unite Africa. How possible.Finish Yours and it will be rational and logical to expand to other places. Now South Africans says we should hail them because their country is beautiful than Germany. which people transformed or beautified SA. Is it not their colonial masters? so chief, its about time we blacks stop bragging and comply with the directives of non racist whites. Kwame should have done better than just fighting for independence which sacked the whites. Now, you said slave trade is gone. Are Ghanaians not still applying for Visas to slave more on whites man land. The point is all the 12 childred of Jacob went to the side of the whites hence their wisdom. You brag of Gold,Diamond,bauxite etc, can you exploit them without the wisdom of the whites? apart from dangerous galamsey with its wicked side effects. So why did Kwame fought to drive the whites away.He could have done it better by atleast seeking for some freedom whilst the whites hang around. Now look at we. And you want us to hail him like Jesus.Massa forget ,Kwame is the worst perfoming leader in Ghana interms of availability of money. He Just wasted Ghana money or reserved instead of expending all in Ghana or focusing in Ghana.Like by this era Ghana will be like dubai. Trust me
