OSAGYEFO DR. KWAME NKRUMAH
Some years ago in far away Bucharest, Romania, death laid it icy hand on Dr. Kwame Nkrumah- One of Africa's greatest sons. He always thought of the future of Ghana and Africa beyond his era. This gave him the forsight to build a solid and formidable foundation for Ghana. Everything he built for Ghana has remained ever useful and will continue to be useful and viable.
The Akosombo Dam, Tema Habour, Tema township, Job 600 etc are still modern and operative with their unique fittings, though he built them at a time when the level of awareness was low. Nkrumah's vision and foresight are what have sustained Ghana, because it is said that ,"Where there is no vision and foresight, a nation perishes". But the irony to his vision is a cluster of ordeal he went through with some greedy Ghanaians throwing Bombs at him, while some sabotaged his efforts including the Akosombo Dam and several other projects.
Now the question is, Who is enjoying these projects and development now? Dr. Kwame Nkrumah or Ghanaians ? If Nkrumah had selfishly laid a hollow foundation for Ghana and engage in corrupts acts as some have done, the nation would have been more impoverished and miserable by now. I am convinced that, out of the love God had for the then Gold Coast, He dedicated this brave Genius to lead and help us but we ignored his worth and mishandled him. Ghanaians jubilated over his over-throw forgetting all what he had done. "Cedi kwasia bi tri da so " was the song of the day. Regardless of people marching to cemeteries to bury him alive, HE NEVER DIES ! NKRUMAH NEVER DIES. This is the man i present to young Ghanaians and Africans to imitate in our days of suffering. Africa shall forever stand. This is our home and we have no where to Go. I love Ghana I love Africa. Happy Founders Day . Osagyefo Asomdwee nka wo dzin. Osagyefo Da yie....
