J.B Danquah's last letter to Nkrumah from prison 12 days before his demise in 1964📚😔

- The disagreement between Nkrumah and J.B Danquah continued even after independence. J.B Danquah was arrested twice on grounds that he was behind the bomb attacks on the president, Nkrumah. On his second arrest, he died in prison at Nsawam in 1964. While in prison, J.B Danquah wrote several letters to Nkrumah for his release. In this video, I examine the last letter he wrote 12 days before his death
JB Danquah was a HOUSE NEGGA and a big one. He went to the extend of snitching on both Dr. Nkrumah and Ghana as a whole. Some of us will do all we can to educate or children to know the truth. Dr Nkrumah is the founder of Ghana. NO IFS OR BUTS.
We Ghanaians do not have any big six but we know Dr.Kwame Nkrumah who free us Africa
That is you, bro, not we Ghanaians.
@albertwright6745 I'm not sure you are a Ghanaian 😅😅
U hv deviated!
Take advantage of free SHS and you might just learn about the Big Six.
There was a big six... actually there are two sets.. the first political party which was set up by paa Grant was made up 6 which included the 5 who were with Nkrumah during the independence proclamation... the UGCC was formed with the aim of taking over the governing of the then gold Coast if and when the colonial British decided to leave.. they were diplomatic about it thus saying... gaining self rule in the shortest possible time. .. there were 6... so they infact harboured the idea of self rule... they invited Nkrumah to be a day to day administrative officer... Nkrumah then because he was well known as the face of the party... Nkrumah saw himself Equal to the ordinary man so was endearing to the masses ... there were some riots which led to arrests of Nkrumah and the 5 UGCC members minus paa Grant.. but they were furious and not happy with Nkrumah.. it later led to Nkrumah leaving to form CPP... the rest is history... critically looking at it the UGCC shot themselves in the foot by parting ways with Nkrumah... I think one of them were more likely to have been first president if Nkrumah was with them.. the UGCC were right in the thinking of the idea that the colonial British would hand over power to a political party.. which was exactly what happened... because Nkrumahs CPP was the party with most seats in 1956/57 power was handed over to them with Nkrumah being the leader... Now at the independence proclamation Nkrumah invited the 5 members of the UGCC to be on the podium with him.. at this point Nkrumah had the upper hand and the 5 under him. Nkrumah could have chosen to stand on the podium alone or choose different set of people but acknowledged where it all began... . so to end it there was a big six first at UGCC and secondly at independence proclamation..
JB Dankwah was the cause of Ghana's downfall.
Big time. Just look at his descendants now?
@@georgetitus-glover6228: YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS ARE NOTHING BUT EVIL DOERS.
I think the curse runs in their family. Look at the president's father Edward Akuffo Addo, then his uncle J.B Danquah who were part of the big six. Then now their pikin, Nana Addo and his cousin special advisor to the president, Ken Ofori Attah. And other family members holding positions in government. This thing he keeps saying about Nkrumah's name has done this... and independence that... and this... is an agenda to once again remove Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's name from our history because of his father and uncle, Edward Akuffo Addo and Dr. J.B Danquah respectively. Everything is about him and his family only.
Kwame Nkrumah was the downfall of Ghana. He wait and play with the people that use coup to get into Power. That is how Ghanaians got poison.
Eiiii Your hatred for Akuffo Adddo is too much
Rest in peace Dr Kwame Nkrumah ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢❤

@@isaacofosu7115 JB DANQUAH died one year 1965 before Nkrumah was overthrown in 1966. The traitors who overthrew Nkrumah’s gov’t wasn’t just the National Liberation Council! ( Notorious Liars Council as I prefer to call them)Although they were the face of the coup. Members of UGCC, United Party, the NLC, and that of the Neo-colonialist and imperialist all were involved! Danquah was against Nkrumah’s govt! In fact members of the UGCC hated his govt to the point that they plotted six assassinations against Nkrumah and it all failed! Danquah was part of the UGCC. Just because he died a year before Nkrumah was overthrown doesn’t mean he wasn’t part of the conspirators. By the way it wasn’t just KOTOKA: It was eight traitors who formed NLC and overthrew Nkrumahs govt:

@@Apostlewordneverfail you know deeply inside your own self that there is no way Nkrumah could compare to Akufu Addo especially when it comes to development projects and infrastructures. Just name me one infrastructure project that Nkrumah did? I know you would say Akosombo dam, Tema motorway and job 600(parliament house). Tema motorway isn’t longer than 24 miles (30 kilometers) with a population of Ghana at 3 million. Plus he inherited the best r I Ommy in Africa e en better than some European countries like Spain. Reme et we are still paying for the construction of the Akosombo dam because of the bad debt that he negotiated and got from the American company Valco. Nobody would accuse him of being corrupt he wasn’t corrupt but he just wasn’t smart. Not just him but others who followed him at that time like Julious Nyerere and Kenneth Kaunda and Milton Obote of Uganda. They were not corrupt but they were just irresponsible with their socialist agenda, I lived on under Nkrumah as a child and I still remember those days like it happened yesterday. Our living standard just went from best to o worst overnight.!
Kwame Nkrumah was Civilian dictator and that was his downfall
@@kwabenatree That's what they told you when you were a child... Now that you're grown, visit history and read to know the lies they taught us in school unless you're a JB Danquah descendant....
Na lie, Nkrumah named his own esterblished school GHANA NATIONAL COLLEGE in 1948 while Ghana gained independence at 1957. So who proposed the name GHANA?
Traitor Danquah was had no idea of the name Ghana. An enemy of the state that saw his end at Nsawam
Very True
Danquah did not propose Ghana.. He preferred the name "Akanland" and Nkrumah disagreed seeing that the Gold Coast was not made up of only Akans. What's your agenda sir?
Ghanaians and their hypocrisy. We only want to project Kwame Nkrumah as flawless, as human as he is and even with some of this glaring wickedness. By all means, let’s acknowledge Nkrumah’s greatness, but let’s also not shy away from his weaknesses; it’s all part of the historical lessons needed to shape our future 😎
So are you here to defend this traitor??
I couldn’t agree more!!

The wickedness of Nkrumah indeed. Wickedness shown to his own children and wife
You are mad ,I wish I could meet one on one .u wouldn't like it , gymifo
Nkrumah forever! His enemies never.
This storey of he being part of the name Ghana is a lie. Ghana National College before independence.
Biggest lie

It was Nkrumah's proposition to name Ghana. He brought the name not Danquah History is been twisted. Ghana National college was named by Kwame Nkrumah even before Independence.

I'm not Ghanian but I've studied Ghana's history especially the heroism of independence...I think allowing JB Dznguah to die in prison without medical assistance was a great mistake Kwame Nkrumah did and this paved the way for the enemy to hold grounds for his downfall. At times mercy in politics doesn't mean weakness but there is always a way to curb them with a clean brush.
Bless be the womb that gives you birth
No it was right to leave him there. Danquah was actually hurt cus Nkrumah became the first to have ruled the country as a president cus he wanted to be . So he went on supply all ideologies of Nkrumah to the CIA so Nkrumah could be murdered for him to take over

@@NyuykighanSamua-dy3ts the sad thing is that anyone who criticizes Nkrumah is considered by his fans as unpatriotic, you don’t want criticism stay away from managing the people’s affairs or stay away from politics. Yes he worked for Africa, but not Ghana and all those resources he wasted, we can’t get them back, is lost completely.
@@idrissagouba962 you are right and I don't think there is a politician with a clean sheet, if we can outline their shortcomings let's at least acknowledge the little good they did. Even Mandela the African hero is also heavily criticized by some African scholastics. Let our criticisms be appraisal in nature that is bringing out the good and the bad in other words evaluative.
It seems descendants of Danquah or people in Danquah's camp may still habor grievances against Nkrumah. But we should not rewrite history in anyway.
They are bad people
Whatever they do they can never takeover Ghana and change the history of Ghana. Their last time to rule
Please check your facts well. The Cpp was formed way before independence. That's what brought Nkrumah to the limelight in the 1951 elections. Kindly research
My question is, is this letter truly from J.B. Danquah or forged to mislead us? Because from what I know the name Ghana was not from J.B. Danquah. God save our country Ghana from this division that started years ago 😢😢😢
The name was from Dr. Kwame Nkrumah
May the universe grant you peace and comfort..
This has been Ghana's big Callenge some of Ghanaians dont tell the truth to people who suppose to know the truth because ghanalans know the truth politicaly it will go against them .JB Danquah brough the name Ghana the letter was actually written by JB Danquah as someone asked whether the the letter was written by JBDanquah himself a lot happend during Kwame Nkrumah's regeim but but some politicians wanted to cover it the wickedness of Kwame Nkrumah cannot be told at Kwame Nkrumah's regeime you cannot talk your own children who were young pioneers were Kwame Nkrumah's security and if you say anything agains Kwame Nkrumah they will report you and you will be arrested the nest day there was no peace in Ghana at that time Kwame Nkrumah took independense from the British to enslave Ghanaians .
Why do you social media people when we type the words you ommitt some letters and make our messages unreadable ?why
Distortion of history.. Don't believe everything you see on the internet pls. Why does he put a seemingly handwritten letter in the thumbnail and then in the video he reads from a well typed sheet. Perhaps he had to retype it for clarity and visibility. However, he still didn't show us pictures of the handwritten one to draw our own conclusions. Again, he failed to tell us how this letter was retrieved or pounced on. He didn't tell us if Nkrumah received the letters or not and what the latter's reaction to the letters was.. My brothers, chill. We can't be deceived.
He did sent letter to the queen telling her to refuse Ghana’s independence , evil ppl, those ruling us are his descendants ,
If Nkrumah had not acted on his own ego and allowed the colonial government to develop the country before his haste to become President,Ghana would not have been in its deplorable state as we see today.The truth be told. Kwame Nkrumah bit the hands that once fed him. One must not always believe history because it might be HIS-STORY.
Bring that letter
@@ThreeAmigos308 who fed him?
Please read your history well and stop reading propaganda. Nkrumah was never fed by any of them especially JB Danquah
Who would develop where?? 😃 what were they doing from the time they came to Ghana (1400-1957). How old is Ghana today? Why must it take Nkrumah just 6 years to provide us with electricity? What was the British doing then? They didn’t even develop the coastal areas where they stayed. What industry was built by the British? They gave us Church buildings than industries. What developmental infrastructure was built by the British along the areas where they stayed Eg. Cape Coast castle, Elmina, Osu. All the physical developments they built was just to facilitate the exploitation of natural resources Eg. Roads and Habour. Sadly this trend is still being followed by our leaders
@@ThreeAmigos308 when you don't know what you ought to know, that becomes a great disservice to the human soul ... Do yourself a great service to read history and not his-tory you claim. The white man was here for over 400yrs with no developmental achievements not even electricity but all they did was to steal our natural resources and you're here talking trash... Over 400yrs nothing developmental and you're saying what?
Where was this letter found, that should be the first question. Am not for anybody whether JB or KN but am asking critical question
Away from the brouhaha, l must say l salute the writing prowess and dexterity of JB Danquah. An intellectual par excellence !
Indeed, but how do we know if this letter was written by JB Dankwah?
Remember, these guys never liked Nkrumah, n JB never formulated the name Ghana either; his children n grandchildren have tried so hard to wipe out Nkrumah history and the evidence is the demonstration of Akufo Addo.
Pls, go back n read our history, cos they have distorted it just to denigrate nkrumah’s legacy.
They have been from the time of Adam to destroy Osaagyefo's history and legacy....evil ppl and this is seen in this government example...from Napo's statement.
They have tried and succeeded in changing and twisting the history of this nation and the achievement of and legacy of Osagyefo.
Why did they burn Osaagyefo's books ..evil politicians we all know where this paper is coming from.
Masa what shows it's coming from him
But if it's true he was treated like this b4 God, then it's evil from the the heart of Osagyefo Nkrumah.
Only if it's was true.

Daquah is the biggest wrecker of Ghana's dream. He allowed his selfish intersts to blind him and cause him to actively undermine Nkrumah even to the detriment to the country.
His legacy is what we see today with the NPP government. That of grandstanding and demagoguery. They are the only people who deserve and capable to be leading the country. They never acknowledge the achievement and contribution of others.

I swear. They’re trying so hard to denigrate Nkrumah’s legacy, but the more they try, the higher he goes. Shame on them for distorting facts and history
Lier, he has never been credited with the name Ghana. They were nit big 6. Even one of them was accidentailly arrested are never big 6. Nkrumah was the only big one among them. Who gain independence for Ghana. JB. Danquah was traitor, opposition to all nkrumah stood for.
@@ekoict250 we didn’t need independence at that time because under the colonial rule Ghanaians had one of the world’s est living standards. Any one who had something to do was ok. Ghanaians had a unique life style I’d decorating their rooms with essential commodities like milk, ovaltines, sugar etc and that’s where the word provisions came from and into Ghanaian society and that’s what attracted brothers from neighboring countries into Ghana. After 3 years of Nkrumah rule all this life style and living standard disappeared. And to repeat again we were better under colonial rule than in independence. The only reason why they pushed us into independence was to be in charge as leaders because eventually we would have got independence with a fully or much more developed.

No power wielding man is without fear of overthrow and its subsequent exposure to paranoia.
In fact it is known that, the man at the top often fears all those who helped him there.
Thus Nkrumah’s alienation and incarceration of all those deemed dangerous to the progress of Ghana.
I hazard to say JB Danquah’s letter, shown here, does little to influence the mind of a fearful man in a favourable way. In fact, it is scattered with various seeds of dissent.
JB Danquah’s incarceration was clearly borne out of malice hence the harsh prison life he was forced to endure.
It's very sad n unfortunate when people who are not much informed of the history of our country to speak disrespectful against our former political heroes, especially the Danquah - Busia group. Every true n sincere historian will never look down on the monumental role the Danquah-Busia group. We shouldn't believe in lies, it was this group started the fight for our independence. Osagyefo joined this group by their own invitation or request. Why did Nkrumah leave the group? The narrative varies among different politicians and especially depending on which party or political tradition is in power. But what all should know is it wasn't Nkrumah who initiated idea of Independence for Gold Coast now Ghana. Let's put it on record, Nkrumah had a bigger vision than just independent Ghana. Those who are aware of Pan Africanism know what I'm talking about. He joined the struggle for the independence of the Gold Coast as a wise politician, to mobilise the whole continent of Africa to gain liberation from colonialism. So even after the independence of the Gold Coast, Nkrumah was much more concerned about becoming the first president of 'United States of Africa' an idea which wasn't bad, but it cost Ghana so much economically, and that contributed to the first military coup in Ghana. What I'm saying is we should respect all our past leaders, but not idolise any of them against others. Even J J Rawlings did a lot for Ghana. I Prefer J J to Nkrumah as far as the development of Ghana is concerned even though JJ is not an idol to me. All our leader did something for us but none of them was an angel, so we must respect them eguall, to protect the unity of our beloved country.
Master we are not children, if you invite someone and still against our own agenda. Danquah group does things for their own interest. We are aware of how they want to use that channel to make money.
Wa bon papa
Good piece of essay! Even though Nkrumah spent money helping other African countries, his monumental achievements are still present n stood the test of time.
I love Rawlings, but Acheampong is my man. Massa, Dankwah, Busia guys tried so much to distort history n that’s where they got it all wrong.
Nkrumah is no angel, but he’s the man of the millennium, Allah.
Rest in power, Hon, Dr, excellency, emperor, Godfather, osagyifo Nkrumah😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. E pain dem basaaa n dem go explain taya
Your account of history is not accurate. Nkrumah was asked if he wanted to lead Africa and severaly he responded NO check the BBC videos of the OAU meetings
Someone starts and another finishes. That is the nature of life.
Planting bombs yet they want to be seen as holy. the history of Ghana does not lie in your hometown. Whatever it was, two wrongs do not make a right. Too greedy. Without other tribes and cultures, there is no Ghana. Letter and so what?
He was a careful writer
If i were his child i would be mad
He shares a lot of chilling emotions
One of his sons was working at the GA district assembly as an auditor who I saw then in 1996.
When he is blasting the assembly people or criticising the government it wasn't easy vagabonds, thugs etc but when I got to know he is the son of JB I screamed and after that he took me as his son and was toned down a bit.
No Ghanaian will be allowed to rot in jail for allegations without recourse. We have come a long way, and must preserve our freedoms. Ghana ftom 1964 under Nkrumah was not good at all. Only CPP party members and affiliates enjoyed riding in American cardillacs, owning homes abroad etc.
You know nothing go back and read Dark days in Ghana by Kwame NKRUMAH to get the full picture of what happened
Where from this "it"!!!!
Till I see an original copy of this letter, this is someone's own ideas. A fictional letter or edited original with a purpose in mind.
100%. May the universe give you peace forever
Yes, this letter came from him. Kofi Kum Bilson of peace fm has read it on his program some time ago.
I think they all could have done things better,
Let’s learn from it
He was a wicked soul . fighting for his family name not Ghana even calling northerners names
Every one writing their own history according to where they belong. Sad for Ghana.
It is only a wise President who believes all those who fought for independence should be acknowledged. Well done Nana.
Dr. J B Dankwah should've gone into exile after he was released. Communism has a ruthless and deadly side to it. Once Nkrumah adopted Communism, some of those who knew Communism very well ran away into exile. The whole of Ghana lived under fear and intimidation (even including some of Nkrumah's suppoters). You never knew who was reporting you to the authorities. As little school boys in Ghana, we were fearful as we saw our parents whisper about how wrong the economy and everything was going. There was no room for descent or complaints. Nkrumah had become a terrorist to his own people. It's amazing that monuments are later on being built to honor Nkrumah. Time heals a lot, including even fear and pains.

Now l know why Akuffo Addo hates Nkrumah. Moreso from history i read Dankwa was not part of the renaming of Gold Coast to Ghana.

I hope Nana Akufo Addo reads his father's letter from prison very well and carefully take all his father's complaints seriously.

No more NPP or NDC.

Please get your facts right, JB Danquah didn't recommend the name Ghana to Dr kwame Nkrumah, check what year Dr kwame Nkrumah establish the Ghana National school.
Secondly there was nothing like big six, it was a news article that was published by then colonial master after the riots in Accra and the title was "Arrest of big six members of UGCC"
Thirdly Ofori Attah wasn't part of the formation of UGCC, he was a victim of circumstances, when he run to alert JB Danquah(his cousin) that the police were in search of the UGCC leaders, by the time they tried to vacate the house, the police had already gotten hold of Ofori Attah and JB Danquah and that's how come he was also arrested.
Fourthly the UGCC was formed by Paa Grant who was one of the richest merchants in the British colony of the Gold Coast; he paid and registered UGCC, he invited JB Danquah to assist him in running the party but they weren't liked by Ghanaians so JB Danquah remembered he met a very bright Ghanaian student who knew how to pull crowd and that's when he told Paa Grant about Nkrumah. It was Paa Grant who paid for the fare for Nkrumah to travel to the Gold Coast via ship
Were you with them when the two were going up and downs during those days? Why do you allow yourself to be enticed soo much by your political divides and ideologies. Both Nkrumah and Danquah are now in the land of the dead, wishing to be alive today to correct some of their mistakes and you guys are hear hailing them as they are the creators of this world. We're alive, let's try to find a common grounds to build our beautiful together and stop this political divisions.

That’s when the cedi was introduced so that he could print money to pay workers what he owed them and within months the cedi lost it’s value and became just papers. That’s when we started hearing about socialism in which whatever you owe doesn’t belong to you alone. You have a car or a bicycle somebody else can use it to and in the mist of all these debate he was overthrown when he left Ghana to go and mediate in the wars between Vietnam and Cambodia.
Nkruma knew he wasnt gonna come back . His popularity was low. He remembered what JB Danqua told him.Western is dangerous but we know how to handle them
Becareful.
His son is revenging Ghanaians because his father slept on the hard cement, so what should we expect? Corruption and bad governance hmmmm
Did we have a flagstaff house during that time. So why is the letter using FLAGSTAFF house? Fabricated it is.
Pls is this letter the original letter or it has been recopied, I need clarification.
The content is original!
this shows the darkness of the politics of Ghana during that time. Detention without trial and getting sick without being allowed to have any medical treatment at the hospital etc
Nkrumah received his due share of Danquah's suffering, through his Kolongugu Bombing and his overthrown coup and never saw his belonging Ghana which he taught it was all his.
@@ronaldessel9095 JB Danquah and others didn't give Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah the peace to rule Ghana. They attacked Osagyefo everyday with guns to eliminate him. If you want to kill the president, what do you expect him do? Don't be tribalistic. What could jb danquah have done to Ghana? What short man devil dwarf akuffo addow have done to Ghana is exactly what jb danquah would have done to Ghana.
@@kwakuosei5139 So you're joyful with how they treated Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Osagyefo just kept jb danquah at the Nsawam hotel to enjoy life. That's all.
@@peterbaidoo1507funny
Would you treat your enemy well if he plans to kill you?
Guys please remember history is always written by the victor, therefore those who were victorious get to write the history the way they sees it.
Enough of these nonsense of distortion of history.
The truth of GHANA HISTORY is being told to the present generation now, and NOTthe lies we have been made to believed. We now know what this man did, and what he didn't do to this NATION and Dr NKRUMAH.
By the grace of God we have moved on so let GHANIANS be.
WHO TOLD You WHAT YOU KNOW
😂😂😂😂😂. Them go explain taya. Nkrumah to the world
The morale of the story is Karma is indeed a bitch. Nkrumah's last days was equally pathetic.Even with all the courtesies extended to him by Guinea's Sekou toure, pretty much nkrumah died in his own prison.
so sad
Release such information to inform and educate those who are willing to learn. History-learning must be balanced, objective and round-sided. Ghana is tired of the superficial rendition of our history as though some people were angels sent from God. Our history will be rewritten.
This is sad😢
Sad my ass. This traitor if undermined Kwame Nkrumah’s efforts to save Ghana.
Lies
Tell this to your NPP cronies
Where was this letter found, that should be the first question. Am not for anybody whether JB or KN but am asking critical question ❤
This letter was in the Justice Annie Giagge Commission report published in 1967
JB Danquah was so tribalistic and never wished Ghana good no wonder Napo said that. NPP never wanted good for Ghana
Great man. Thus the need to remember the Big six(6) . Rest well Hero
Nkrumah was not an angel.
You didn’t mention the events that led up to the detention of him and you also didn’t fully acknowledge the fact that they were rivals..and there had been numerous assassination attempts on NKRUMAH; the coupe happen regardless and Ghana hasn’t been the same
Obetsebi Lamptey, Ako Agyei and Dr. Kwame Nkrumah were the ones who fought for Ghana the other 3 were purely mafias up until today they are still
Hmmmmm
I'm surprised. May his soul rest in perfect peace.
It is a lie JBDanquah did name the country call Ghana today 5:13
😂😂😂😂
JB Danquah did not give Ghana it's name, stop this nonsense!
JB Danquah can never equal the giant that K. Nkrumah was and still is
JB Danquah was a traitor including the two Akufo Addo's
Twi is not the only language in Ghana wai...!
WHY TILL DATE WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT KILLED RAWLINGS AND NO FAMILY WAS ALLOWED TO SEE THE BODY
Hmmm
I believe this letter never got to the president office
Do your research well. Danquah never proposed the name GHANA. It was Nkrumah….
There is nothing like big six
Napo comments makes cpp popular now😂 n also brings into memory Nkrumah’s legacy😁. His comments trending big time, now every child going take a critical look at Nkrumah for Ghanaians history 😊. CPP is back again 😄
Keep dreaming. CPP lost it when UP was formed.
@okristo1345 because the UP deliberately introduced policies to destroy the CPP. The UP feared the CPP so much so that they even banned it from contesting in the 1969 election. These were people who preached democratic ideals
@@joyjboy753 what can cpp gain from popularity? It’s a dead party and can’t even have a single representative in our parliament. They don’t have state resources at their disposal like when Nkrumah was in president.
Facts.😂😂😂😂😂
U are feeling bad because of his prison sentence right, better still u remember Nkrumah surviving several assination attempts. So is it not possible that he find him threat to his ruling. This man wrote to Nkrumah to hold on to our independence, is he not a threat? No u can't blame him.
Amen ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
So was the latter delivered to the then government (NKRUMAH)
Excellent question
He never gave the name Ghana rather suggested Akanland
False
It’s true. Nkrumah had named Ghana National College years before Independence
Go back to school and learn history well and stop the trash
@bernardasare5670 Some Nananom in the house😂
@@yawadadeTV what is the truth
So Akufo Addo is simply slowly executing revenge for his dear uncle with a well thought out plan... Nipa yɛ cobra!!!
What is Akuffo Addo's plan?
@@nanakollynxTv Exactly what most Ghanaians are experiencing under his gorvenment.
@@nanakollynxTvhe is looting Ghana like no tomorrow
JB Dankwa is not his uncle biaa
@@nanakollynxTvi see your color now
Amazingly, history has repeated itself through the manifestation of Akufo Addo n his family ruling Ghana now..
The more they try to distort history n denigrate the good name of Nkrumah, the more powerful he becomes; the universe has a way to protect her own from the wicked.
You call Nkrumah selfish, wicked, n malevolent yet he never owned a piece of plot, car or a house in his name; can you say the same about the current crop of evil people ruling Ghana?
The only house (Paduase lodge) Nkrumah built by the help of market women was genuinely given to the state of Ghana-demonstration of magnanimity at its highest level.
President Kuffour, is sitting on acres of land at Paduase, n people around him are suffering yet, u call such people state men.
Pls, let us be, cos it doesn’t matter what you say about Nkrumah, he’s the man of the millennium, period…Shame on you. Rest in power, Hon, Dr., Excellency, emperor, governor, prime minister, osagyefo Nkrumah. E pain dem basaaa. Cheers to Nkrumah’s memories 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nkruma paid the sinful killings he did . He suffered cancer pain and died . Where is auntie Kate? He will face judgment .
Hey, mr. Narrator stop decieving stop decieving people. Ah why do you want to change the history of ghana.
What has been changed?
My grandfather who lived at the time, said Nkrumah was not an initiator of independence. He said the process was started and at some point Nkrumah was invited in.
If he fasttracked the process, should he be a founder and the only one to be celebrated in Ghana.
Oooh, Ghana lets be real.
Then let's add everyone's name to the list. mmom. So that we make a long list of names. Even if you erase his name and put Akuffo Addo's father and uncle's name there, if you remove Dr. Kwame Nkrumah from the history of Ghana koraaa(which will make our history fake because of manipulations), he will still be the hero of pan-Africanism and the hero of Africa. Yes!
Distorted fact. Stop misleading the public. Joseph Boakye Danquah did NOT give Ghana its current name but Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Stop telling fibs.
Wow! Nelson Mandela, stayed in prison for 27yrs n became the president.
I am named after J. B Danquah and am saddened to hear this .
I am William Ofori-Atta's grandson. I am so interested in the complete truth about the history of Ghana as my family played a significant roll There seems to be debates on what actually happened .
Sure! A lot of debate.
What do we do with this jb Danquah kraaa.
CIA agent!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 big traitor
JB Dankwah was in detention how come he undermined Nkrumah to be killed in the North. Don't try to forge news that you don't have any clue.😅😅
J.B Danquah was perceived to be behind the many bombing attacks on Nkrumah. And he made reference to one of such attacks in the Northern part of Ghana, Kulungugu
JB Danqua like Nkruma before things turned around badly. He employed Nkrumah
Nkrumah from Liberia.Read the facts. Stop abusing Akyems. They were good to Nkrumah .
You are so ignorant to think that J.B was the mastermind of that bomb explosion , the question you ask yourself is dose J.B work at the state protocol, it was Nkrumah's own corrupt party members members who conive with American's CIA mastermind that bomb explosion,it true that J.B was in prison
@@edwarddanso5289 learn to know the facts. George Alfred Grant ( Paa Grant) employed Nkrumah after Ako Adjei introduced him to the party. J.B Danquah has nothing to do with that. The real Big Six are those with Nkrumah on the podium on the 6th of March 1957 namely : Kwame Nkrumah, Kojo Botsio, Komla Gbedema, Nathaniel Azako Welbeck, Frederick Caseley Hayford and Krobo Edusei 💪🇬🇭
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 wicked people
