Nkrumah's daughter is a very brilliant & smart lady.
I like the independent minded tendencies of the children.
Great oeople.
I always love Sekou , he speaks facts without emotions.
Great guy .
This is so beautiful.
A country where everyone can speak their mind even siblings 😂😂
😅
Absolutely, democracy is beautiful. The freedom to speak one's mind, to choose our leaders, to be who we want to be, a system in which no one is afraid to say what they think. It may not be the best, and there's a lot of room for improvement, but it's better than anything else I can see. I wouldn't want to live in any other system!
@kumho1321 cheers bro
Nkrumah will never due. He was simply the best
Truly, truly Nkrumah never dies
…when Nkrumah wanted to build Akosombo dam - the opposition opposed him greatly. He made a model of the fam and presented it across the country to convince Ghanaians. And today this very Akosombo Dam is what is saving us now in addition to other dams.
It is very beautiful to see the children of Osagyefo among our midst. On behalf of all young pioneers, we salute the founder
Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkruma Never Dies! Osagyefo For Ever!
I could listen to these two all day!! So refreshing..and such an eloquent presenter...so wholesome @
I just love these two families of the great oseagyifo Dr koume Nkrumah
Beautiful engagement by the children of the great man, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
Very refreshing debate and the fact they’re siblings makes it unbiased
I love Samia's stands. She has read alot, very firm and convince of her conviction. Kudos, Much Respect.
The man is rather saying the truth and reality. But you guys have made your mind already. That Nkrumah ideology was bad then to make one party system.
Very healthy and objective discourse. A lot of respect for the siblings.
I wonder how they fell for their father to be such a great person in Africa and Ghana
He is the FOUNDER, and will forever be remembered him as such. God bless his soul
Great conversation we disagree to agree, and develop mother Ghana and Africa
I love this interview! Siblings being siblings on live TV! 😅
Dr. Nkrumah's IDEOLOGY is Distinct & Unique yet it achieved RESULTS for ALL. 👍Yes he was a DETECTOR & SOCIALISE.
Hmmm! I like the argument between the kids; Sekou & Samia. Samia is always going to be on the father's side. Sekou on the other hand is telling it as he understood. Sekou is a character in totality. He says what he thinks, not being worried any rebutal from the sister.
Is nature 😂😂😂 girls always on their Dad side.
Nkrumah is the founder and that is it.
As long as you have made your mind on that, there is nothing you will accept whether it's true or not. The fact is that Nkrumah wasn't the only founder. He even came to meet some people who started fighting for our independence.
@@patrickasante6991let them lie u. As far as I know , none was there when he announced the total independence of the country, ushered Ghana into a Republic, he was strict, had respect for law and was more a people man unlike the arrogant UGCC members who liked to lie the masses and steal money.
@@patrickasante6991 Understand pan africanism came through the Caribbean pan africanist to America by dr web Dubois. The only african student at that summit was Kwame Nkrumah nobody else from africa was there but i get what you are saying
Nkrumah is and will remain the founder.. the other side the reactionaries who sold the country..
@@patrickasante6991Yes. Nkrumah was put in prison but others like, Danguah, Akuffo Addo, Obetsebi, etc also went to prison for the same cause. Nkrumah became more pronounced b'cause he won the 1951, 1954, and 1956 elections and for that matter had the unique opportunity to make pronouncements on our independence and also became our first President. If other persons had won those elections I believe they would have been shot into prominence as well.
Samia, well done, your father truly lives in you. Your brother read only the negative books about his father, I feel sad
No doubt!! That's what they intended to produce when they decided to ban and burn all Nkrumah's books. He read the negative stuff, got affected and formed by that gravely before reading his works after his books started resurfacing.
It was pain he didn't liked him when he needed him at young age
Wow, the both are very intelligent respectively in their own way; and that is very interesting! That is a great explanation from the both of them! Kudos to my lovely church member for this broadcast; good job there! 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭💙💙💙💯💯💯✅✅✅👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰
This is beautiful, Nkrumah 's children seems not to agree with their father's legacy. Freedom of speech and ideas ❤
Listen carefully
I can imagine them at home debating.. I see me and my sisters.
Beautiful children
Madam journalist, you are good.
Very Interesting Conversation ❤
President Nkrumah will be so proud looking on his children.
🙏🏽"Sɛ Fatia fata Nkrumah de a, ɛneɛ na Samia sɛ Nkrumah". (If Fatia befits Nkrumah, then Samia resembles Nkrumah). Well done, Samia. Kudos bravo, your father, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, would be super proud of you.
Excellent, worthy, valuable points put across to educate and inform the political historical perspective(s) of what Nkrumah stood for and who he was. Once again well done, Samia Nkrumah.✅ 🤝👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Sekou's stance is largely clouded and clichéd. He should study or learn well to be informed well, not influenced blindly by the Western acrimonious, antagonistic and hypocritical address or stereotyping/categorising of Nkrumah as a "dictator".
How would a Western defined so-called "dictator" state that, "the independence of Ghana (his country), would be meaningless UNLESS it is linked up with the total liberation of Africa"??
These, among many other such statements, are not the words of a Western defined so-called dictator. A man who wanted all on board, for the good of all, and considered all to be part of the process to attain a common goal of good Ghana, for Africa, for mankind, is not my idea nor definition of a "dictator", except only to the West.
If the West can't "boss, bully and bash" you around as their puppet, and you stand up to challenge and change the status quo, then they label you as a "dictator" from their own angular, subjective, rather than objective perspective(s).
Nkrumah, like any other mortal being, may have had his little faults, but his ideologies for progress and development are near-perfect and almost matchless, and as for his legacy, the least compared the better.
No one comes close, and those who unfortunately think of it to make comparisons are dwarfed and "midgetted" by his "Colossus/Colossal" and Conspicuous achievements, both at home (nationally) and abroad (internationally) even at the early or young age of 62years when he passed away (died), having been putsched from office, as President of the Republic of Ghana, in a coup d'etat (February 1966) 6yrs earlier before his death (April 1972).
"Surely, the torch touches all to burn brightly and beautifully to glory." (Seth's quote). Forward ever, backwards never. TRULY, "NKRUMAH NEVER DIES." 🙏🏽Seth_KBD
Eii Samia,very clever like the father.Sekou is very independent.
THAT IS WHY WE CALL MOTHER LAND AND YOUR DAD IS STILL LISTEN TO YOU MAAME..I LOVE THAT 💘 💗 ♥ 💓..ONLY A WOMEN BRING GHANA BACK 🇬🇭 ..
Kwame Nkrumah never dies he will forever my hero and legend leader 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭💯💯✊🏿✊🏿
I love this interview. And the way they all have different ideas. I can listen to them all day.
I think Samia is more intelligent, eloquent, and a peaceful fellow, Sakou is great and same time has a bit of his own ideology for what his father stood for.
He was being objective.
I love the children of our great Nkrumah. He knew his stuff and wanted the best for all, irrespective of tribe. Bless you, children, for proving you know your father. Sad we lost him so early
Their father is a great man
A very great man
I remember Sekou as a top journalist for the Egyptian newspaper, Al-Hayat.
I'm just wondering which of Nkrumah's literature are in the library. Because the enemies burnt 🔥 and destroyed most of his works.
Who were the enemies those who burnt his books or those who sold his factories ? Both of them are enemies, don't pretend because Nkrumah was a smart guy and would view both as enemies
Nkrumah's books, speeches and writings need to be propagated throughout second cycle institutions and the universities. Courses and programs needs to be introduce around what the man believe to be the way to develop as a nation and a continent. Every Ghanaian student needs to read a book written by Nkrumah or geneuinely written about him, our knowledge of the man and his ideas should not be of what todays politicians who are deep in the pockets of the west and of their own narrow visions would wants us to believe about Nkrumah. Every book at the museleum should be reproduced to become part of every school and public libraries across the country. It was said that the western powers with the US leading the pack supervised the burning of some of his books and writing after his overthrow with the intention of wiping out the man, BUT NKRUMAH NEVER DIES. This tells us how powerful Nkrumah's ideas were.
I agree with u. I have all the 16 books that he wrote beginning with TOWARDS COLONIAL FREEDOM to his last book THE DARK DAYS IN GHANA written in Conakry after his overthrown.We need to go back to his ideas by reading his books.NEO-COLONIALISM and CHALLENGE OF THE CONGO and IMPERIALISM are some of the dangerous books he wrote that put fears into the Western powers.

samia is been diplomatic while souku is been factual
❤❤❤❤thank you sis
Samia is too smart
Nkrumah's daughter really looks like him and is equally brilliant! God bless them.
This is what we want every Ghanaian to do, just have independent mind devoid of tribal and familial associations.
That's it bro....too much tribalism in Ghana politics
The great Osagyefor Dr Kwame Ukrumah...God bless his soul 🙏 ❤️
Interesting interview, lovely siblings, with interesting perspectives. I ended up watching the full interview instead of the minute intro as I intended to.
I BELIEVE THE WAY FORWARD SHOULD BE THE UNION SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT. IT IS SO REFRESHING TO HEAR FROM THE SON AND DAUGHTER OF GHANA’S SELFLESS LEADER DR. NKRUMAH. GOOD JOB
Beautiful conversations i love it❤
Everything was on the table yet this people did not UNDERSTAND HIM ""
The problem was not the people, it's was Nkrumah himself. His braggadocio mouth caused his overthrow. How do you demonize the West publicly but needed their help at the same time to industrialize your country. Have you forgotten his ill adviced "After all, the Blackman is capable of managing his own affairs" statement? Not to mention championing the charge of the total liberation of the entire African continent from colonialism. All these made the West to sabotage him and by extension brought the country to a total bankrupt which subsequently became the justification for his ouster. Have you asked yourself why leaders like Lee Kuan Yew whose situation was similar to that of Nkrumah succeeded? Nkrumah was sharp, no doubt but the truth needs to be told. His bombastic effusions was his Achilles Heel.
I love this. Sibling debate is right on point. Samia is correct in saying that he invited others to the table in order to go forward with development. Kudos to Samia and Sekou
Very nice interview.❤
Nkrumah idea of Africa to unite was a good idea but some Ghanaians are saying, Nkrumah lust of power was too much. British left much money and he spent Ghana money supported some countries without developed Ghana of thinking about the hardship Ghanaians are facing to-day.
It's really funny, when Ghanaians pretend we love Dr Kwame Nkrumah, while we know deep inside us we are rather hippocrates because we reward kotoka our only international airport knowing for sure he overthrow Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
Fact bro but it's funny😂😂
@@CoDm_TupacMost of us love him. It's Npp and co who hates him
Exactly very hypocritical, the Kotoka airport name is a disgrace! It needs to be renamed Nkrumah airport airport.
@@madjoabutterflywhy though?
@@may_beeharuno2195 this is what's I'm saying, now you're blaming another political party for something we Ghanaians know it's evil to allow kotoka's name on our only international airport.
In Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s era, we had 3 Ks ruling the World :
1, Kennedy for the West…
2, Khrushchev for the East…
3, Kwame for Africa…
Very Powerful President Africa has ever had.
Awesome interaction! Sometimes we forget it took a long time for these so-called democracies to reach where they are today. Definition of founder(s) should be respectfully reexamined. Are we talking of founding in terms of the settlers or founding in terms of naming a land area as Ghana and leading the settlers to independence? Is Mandela the founder of South Africa? Is Kenneth Kaunda the founder of Zambia? Is Robert Mogabe the founder of Zimbabwe? Is George Washington the founder of the USA? Is Lumumba the founder of DR Congo? Naming one person as the founder could sound dismissive of all the roles played by others before them.
Kwame Nkrumah just changed the name from gold coast to Ghana, he is not the founder of Ghana, we should bear in mind that, Nkrumah because of ancient days, ( Gana) Ghana how might that country was , the reason why Nkrumah change the name, but not founder
Exactly. People don't wanna accept the truth because of their hatred
@@paulblay8575he just changed the name, it’s because of ungrateful and shallow minded people that people do little for their motherland. Research the number of factories he built and then compare all other factories buoy after him 60yrs on, forget all other things he did, just compare factories
Singapore gets favourable interest rested on their loans and they are not a block, it’s about your system and how manage your state however big or small. Samia is beautiful 😍
❤️💛💚
Great great discussion, and beautifully articulated too. I have to say after listening to the entire discussion I am team Samia though but hey great sibling discussion. Nkrumahism truly never dies. Long live Kwame Nkrumah long live Ghana
…sometimes to move forward with development you have to close the opposition to achieve your goal and to move the country forward. Singapore did it and succeeded, China has done it and have succeeded, and Rwanda also is doing it… sometimes multi-party democracy doesn’t help.
Interesting
Multipartisan democracy is a hindrance to the development of developing nations.
Nkrumah only wanted Ghanaians to be focused and objective of the development of the nation over being subjective and greedy for power like some of the then leaders were.
But did he forcuse for the development of his own country, Ghana and his people?.
@@paulblay8575 Yes he did. And if it's about the aid he gave some countries, then my bro forget. That is how alliances are formed. No nation develops solely in its on shells. Besides can we claim that he underdeveloped Ghana because he offered aid to some countries??
@@francisvilasmensah216 that why Johannesburg is well developed and beautiful than Obuasi, but both towns produce gold , Shame
I really love the contributions of the two siblings towards this debate and I think that, Sekou came on top. You see, for so long, people have tried to HIDE the fact that Nkrumah was a Marxist socialist whose policies reflected his ideological stance. Ghana became a one party state and he pushed his programmes through an emasculated parliament. Nkrumah would not have changed track, considering the fact that he even condemned Russia for what he termed, revisionism. This was even after he was overthrown. I wonder how many of today's youth would want to live under communism. This was what Nkrumah stood for. Interestingly, this part of his legacy has been whitewashed. Sekou was right.
@@paulblay8575you forgot that south Africans only got independence in 1992. Did they discover the golden minds in joburg?
That is crazy that they disagree with his incredible legacy!!
That's just disgraceful to his memory!!!
That is all fear....
Her daughter is very smart and got the concept of barricading your project area. The one party state at the time was for the good of our development. That's why we are here today with NPP and NDC mesmerizing the country and no one dare talk. Which is worse?
Good interview Samia and Sekou.
Samia is good for me and our nation thanks
❤❤❤❤❤❤
The redeveloped memorial is beautiful and commendable. I think at the beginning of his administration, Akuffo Addo wanted to downplay Nkrumah’s contribution to the birth and independence of Ghana. Once he took office and started moving around the planet, he quickly realized that outside Ghana, Nkrumah is revered and venerated. It is humbling to go to the Kremlin, Cuba, USA, England , France etc., etc, only to learn that even his enemies admired his intellectual brilliance and visionary insight.
On his one party state, (1) All the freedom fighters who became leaders of their countries chose and instituted one party states. Personally, I think it was necessary. Our resources, Human Resources and political awareness and political savvy, was very, very limited. The United States, for all its brutal criticism and sabotage of African independence, accusing leaders like Nkrumah as dictators, defined their democracy as the voice of white men, land owners and educated. Ask yourself, how many Americans fell into this voting group 250 years ago? What kind of democracy was that?
Beautiful open-minded family
This government deliberately doing things just to undermine the legacy of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. But some of as are not ignorant, we're enlightened by history and have learned to appreciate and acknowledged his statesmanship
Wow! I enjoyed the conversation. But it appears Samia is a matured politician. Sekou on the other hand, make me feel there are still honest people in Ghana.
There is no 💯 capitalist or Socialist 💯, that’s why both systems have blended all over the world
Whether good or bad .he is still the founder of this country.
i love this, the Daughter is Nkrumah, the son i dont know, but its all good. love it
I really love Nkrumah ideologies but can his library be digitized so we can access it online
There's no Big six ? Dr, Kwame Nkrumah was only the founder of Ghana 🇬🇭
Amen, he came to liberate and unite.
This woman is bold. After all she has nothing to lose
Nkrumah never dies never dies never dies.
Nkrumah never dies lives forever more forever more.
Young Pionners are coming will give them way yaaaa Oyaaa Oyaa. Yaa Oya.
Arise arise Pionners be honest and don't be lazy we are famous Young Pionners we serve Ghana now.
Democracy is not good for Africa, the one party system of Nkrumah was an excellent idea to develop Ghana look at Russia and China they’re doing extremely well with one party system
The man is saying facts and realities. However, the woman is just trying to support his father.
Sekou, at times sounds too westernized. So what is his dad embraced socialism. Capitalism in its purest form is not practised anywhere as it is impossible. Furthermore, capitalism has a lot of problems and is even becoming a joke. Look at all the monopolies and lack if competition occurring in Canada and the U.S..
Finally, neither has addressed strong outside forces Nkrumah faced at the time and that Africa faced.
I'm expecting them to use (my father) but they keep using his name as if they're not related 😄
…even the kids of the founder are not as rich as todays politicians and that speaks a lot. He was selfless and was not property grabbing.
He would never have achieved 10% of what he achieved for Ghana if he had not oriented towards socialism with some twist of dictatorship. That is what Africa needs. Pure capitalism is taking us nowhere. We need a good, incorruptible, and selfless leader, like Nkrumah, to change our destiny in Ghana and Africa as a whole.
SHE IS VERY VERY INTELLIGENT WOMEN.. SHE IS TALKING LIKE MANDELA IN SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 PRESIDENT .. IF WAS TODAY FATHER KWAME WILL LISTEN TO HER DAUGHTER ABOUT FOR THEM MAKE AS COME TOGETHER ❤ 💕.
Nkrumah is the only founder and will always be the founder forever. Nobody can change our mind.
😊
I love this debate - sister and brother nicely agree to disagree 😀🤭
Job
Great intellectualists
It wasn’t Professor Mills that introduced 21st as Founder’s Day for Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
When he was a President the Founder’s Day was celebrated.
It was also a National Holiday with School Children marching.
They then introduced Inter School Athletics a.k.a. Interco. assembled all students in Accra for the meeting.
The climax of the meeting was 800 meters race of which he would present the trophy to the winner of the student because he run that event when he was in Achimota School of course with the 1st Lady Madam Fathia.
Dr. Nkrumah’s son Serku is confused he’s behaving like a blind guy just read books about his dad and couldn’t see the vision of his father’s united Africa
Hear this song. Pan African Socialist students rise in Staunt party and loyalty. Show devotions to Ghana's glorious course March on to new Ghana land.
To the victrous struggle follow thee by the words of Kwame Nkrumah fellow Ghanaian let us be one too March on to new Ghana land.
School fees was free. School text books were free. You finish school you leave the school text books to your next user. Hospital treatment/dental treatment was free. School Children Buses was free for all schools penny for a ride. From Mamprobi/Cantoments/Kaneshie/Adabraka La/Teshie/Nungua/name it all. You only pay adult fare if you don't get to the pick up point station and miss the school children bus you end up paying for adult fares to school. Adult fares was meant for workers. We were invited to Flagstaff House all schools 10 each for a garden party and his advices to all the schools. We were happy.
The idea behind the renovation is to localize Nkrumah. Moselium, you need to move to it to see.
Founder's day, republic day, are holydays observed internationally. One can observe it wherever you are
Kwame Nkrumah still leave Wise behind.
His daughter is wrong, some of the opposition leaders were jailed
Nkrumah believed in the bigger picture United States of Africa.
British Leyland Buses. Plain face and Agoogi Buses running smoothly in Accra.
On the issue of Nkrumah being dictatorial, etc...
The beginning of almost every country has been dictatorial. You can't build a country if from scratch you allow everyone and eveey group to do anything and everything. Which of the parties in our early life as an independent state was nationalist? The Anlo Youth Organisation was tribalist, for Ewe. The National Liberation Movement was formed by the Asantes from the CPP. The Northern People's Party. Check the name. Togoland Congress, appealing to a particular part of the country. The Muslim Association Party. The name tells you it could not have accommodated or fought for the interest of every Ghanaian because of religious differences. In summary, all the other parties mainly identified with sections of the country and not Ghana as a whole. Can you imagine that at our early stages everyone pulling a part of the country towards snd for themselves? How would we move forward? We could have had civil wars. So many effects. I go back to my earlier statement: check the history of most countries and you would realise at one stage or another in their trajectory, there was one leader or a group who stamped their feet for the country to get to a point before 'democracy' was introduced. Democracy is a system we move into following certain existing structures. Without those structures, democracy becomes a bane rather than a blessing. Read the book 'Kicking Away the Ladder' by Prof. Ha-Joon Chang and my points would be summarised and elaborated there. The title of the book explains that "I climb to a height using a ladder then i kick away the ladder to prevent others from reaching the same height". You see the allegory?
Inasmuch we may not be happy with certain decisions of Nkrumah, analyse it with objective lenses (not partisan, and not from the lens that is influenced by uninterrogated Western calls for countries to be democratic) and you would understand the man.
Summary of my argument: there is a time for any system of government. If you miss it, it can cost your political and economic growth. If you doubt it, study African countries, Asian countries (like South Korea and Singapore), then Western countries.
God bless Africa! And may He not forget the rest of the world!
We didn't see much from SAMIA when she went to parliament...quiet disappointed
It is becuase if power that's why MPs promise physical projects but their main work is to enact laws that will make the country move forward.
They evils in NPP and NDC will not allow the MP's to help their communities
I don’t see much from our politicians even without Samia in parliament… what the heck are U trying to imply Sam George’s noise on gay marriage is supposed to mean what exactly
