Afrikans/Ghanian we have to have our own media. We Afrikans have to tell our own story.
Just truth.
Who said we don't have our own media? Btw...there is no lie in the video.
Kwame Nkrumah is a patriot not just at speech but at heart too.
And a dictator
Show me one so called 'non dictator' aside Kwame Nkrumah who took Ghana far then we can start an argument.
@@sethpoku1864 You don’t make any sense at all. Nkrumah was never ever a dictator
.
Kwame Nkrumah was the greatest ever Pan African leader of all time. He was smart, bold and handsome. One of Ma Africa’ great sons that did a lot for our country of🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭and Africa all the way.
What has pan African leaders achieved economically? All they do is politics like all politicians...:)
And Nazi supporter.
No, it is JARAMOGI OGINGA ODINGA
I dare Ghanaians to put Nkrumah's (modernized) development plans into effect, and they'll see real independence. Economic independence from the domination of foreign interests. Then, throughout the entire continent.
i agree with you 100 percent bro
+Nkrumah Ture
What you may not realize is that we in the West are ALSO living under the domination of multinational corporations, which have arguably emasculated national governments, so that they cannot carry out serious economic reform. And our national debts are so large that new social programmes or vast infrastructure projects would be prohibitively expensive. It is expected that the private sector will do the heavy lifting. We have dug ourselves into a hole from which we cannot escape.
Now China may be willing to help you, but you must realize that their assistance comes at a terrible price. I do not believe for a moment that they love Africans specially. However they ARE intent upon becoming the superpower of the 21st century. Have you heard ot the Eurasian Belt Road Initiative?
If it were possible, if past injuries could be forgiven, I would like to see the West and Africa cooperate in a new kind of relationship. For us Christians, sub-Saharan Africa is a source of great hope, for the West has lost much of whatever 'faith' it once had. Now African preachers are bringing the Gospel to the West.
These are new times indeed.
They can't do it mate. They're being led by a clueless mercenary bunch
Anyone who the West doesn't like will be considered an ruthless Dictator. Kwame Nkrumah was a statesman and a Hero....
DAS IT NO SIZE
The Hall Report
So why was he overthrown?

My mom?
That doesn't make any sense at all
Sheamus Shepherd
TF for that
Peter McIver
because European bastards didn't like him
This is a shame to journalism😓Get your facts right.
I agree that this is completely wrong and portrays him as a horrible person, but this was from 60 years ago. Britains journalism is a lot better and less racist than most nowadays
Nkrumah: Africa's man of the millennium 👌👌📯📯🔥
this is really hilarious....this guy just called nkrumah a dictator i bet any african leader that does not take shit from them is considered same
Nkrumah was a liberator not just to Ghana but for the rest of Africa. Shameless western journalism wants to portray him as a despotic dictator. This is offensive and factually incorrect.
You make a video to make Nkrumah look evil .Hahaha,evil will come to you
+osei boffa
Who among us is not evil? Christ addressed a crowd, starting with the words, 'if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children.........'.
(Romans 3:23) 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.'
That is why we need a Redeemer. And NO political leader can ever take Jesus' place. Nkrumah did not die for the people. Nor did he stick it out to the end like Qaddaffi. He went to Guinea. Just an observation.
(Romans 5:8) 'For God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.'
HE WAS THE ONLY PRESIDENT IN THIS WHOLE WORLD, WHO DIED WITHOUT HAVING A BANK ACCOUNT, NO PERSONAL HOUSE, NO PERSONAL VEHICLE, EXCEPT THE CLOTHES HE WORE ON DAILY BASIS. HE WAS TRULY SELFLESS. GHANA WILL NEVER EVER HAVE A PRESIDENT LIKE THAT.

Yes, every president is is unique unto himself or herself. None is like the others.
He died in Bucharest, Romania. So apparently he had made friends with a very unsavory regime. Yes, at the time Romania was being praised in the West for its relative independence toward the Soviet Union. But later our eyes were opened.
Do you any idea of the human-rights abuses of that regime, how the leading family had palaces built for them while the peasants suffered and orphans were left in subhuman conditions?
Now I did sample Nkrumah's writing at one time, and he seemed intelligent. But his confidence in 'scientific socialism' was unjustified. The importation of marxian thought (a late product of the European 'Enlightenment') did not yield great results in Africa, did it?
Man is regarded in BOTH capitalism AND marxian socialism as an 'economic animal'. But there is more to man than that. The Bible tells us that we are created for the purpose of fellowship with our Creator. OF COURSE we need to address economic injustice. Yet Jesus said, 'you cannot serve both God and wealth.'
Even his own cloths were auction to The public
Rubbish. He was not allowed to go back to Flagstaff house to move his belongings. He came back Ghana as a corpse
yes nkrumah never dies. Nkrumah lives forever. but you Brits...Your empire has already crumbled and we made sure of that...
+Atlas24gh
ALL empires eventually decay and fall, in God's time. In the case of Britain, you did not bring this about single-handedly, nor do I think that the process is quite complete. This Brexit thing is still in the works. What if Scotland regains its independence and rejoins the EU, leaving 'little England' (with its large muslim ghettos) to its own devices?
However Christ's Kingdom, once established in its fullness, will be an eternal Kingdom.
He was handed a police force, military, civil service heavily infiltrated and the CIA and MI5 had actual presence in Ghana. His opponents were Sandhurst trained. Harold Wilson connived with the American President in his overthrow by the CIA.
Kwame Nkrumah was unapologetic clear about the need to unite Africa which meant liberating the likes of our Zimbabwe then Rhodesia.
Nkrumah's vision holds necessary and true today. It remains a matter of anxiety for the scrounging western world which sees Africa as it's go to place to cherry pick whatever resources for a song. Time has arrived to turn the tables. The onset of China makes it real. We shall overcome. Long Live. President Kwame Nkrumah!!! Long Live. Long Live African unity. Long Live!!!
The greatest leader who has ever lived. His reign was cut shot by the evil and blood suckers. They will surely pay for their evil deeds. Africa must unite. Odeneho Sikaba
we will unite bro. in fact it has already started
join the movement
+Odeneho Sikaba
That's a grand claim which you make. Perhaps we should let God be Judge and hand out the laurels.
Jesus is Lord & Savior no hard feelings
Nkrumah never dies but lord have mercy on us.
+Yaw Ofori
As the Bible says, it is appointed for men to die once, then the judgment. I hope that, in the end, the Lord had mercy on Nkrumah. It is always His desire to show mercy. But if we will not believe in Him, we constrain His mercy toward us.
Great Man never dies❤❤❤❤❤
I always ask my self what makes western hate Africa?
This is a million year question bro only jah knows
Its God they hate, and we are the closest to God....so....
The west wants your mineral wealth, and land routes to the mineral wealth of others. It's entirely selfishness and greed that drives this crapaganda.
+acheampong ebenezer
If you mean to judge all Westerners in that way, you are making a grave mistake. Be sure that you are not indulging in a little 'projection'. Remember, 'by your standard of measure it will be measured to you.'
But OF COURSE there are far too many racists in the West. The US president is one example. But who says that racism is exclusive to the West? It is a fault of human nature generally, to worship oneself and, as an extension of that, one's own 'kind'. But some of us are inspired by better examples-----------the greatest of which is JESUS CHRIST.
(I hope that you are not one of those deceived persons who think of Christianity as Western or European 'religion'. It began in Jerusalem, among Jews, and one of the first Gentile converts was an Ethiopian official------------BEFORE the Gospel was preached in Europe.)
Slave trade and the fact that we might do to them what they did to us
Dark day for both Ghana and the entire black race. Nkrumahism lives on for eternity
Only for Ghana mate
Europe has never spoken well of Africa
Vipers. We shall unite some day
Seretse Khama,the first president of Botswana, needs a lot more recognition when it comes to post-colonial African leaders.
"Khama instituted strong measures against corruption,the bane of so many other newly independent African nations. Unlike other countries in Africa,his administration adopted free market friendly policies to foster economic development. Khama promised low and stable taxes to mining companies,liberalized trade, and increased personal freedoms. He maintained low marginal income tax rates to deter tax evasion and corruption. He upheld liberal democracy and non-racism in the midst of a region embroiled in civil war, racial enmity and corruption. Khama embraced the rule of law."

The way they chat and the music show they don’t give a fuck and they had a hand in it.
The propaganda masters at it again. Silly commentator!

Propaganda galore! Same ole tricks, but it's a new day now devil...your rule is ending....swiftly! #LongLiveKwameNkrumah

Teye-WANT MORE FOREIGN AID????
No public comment
The only ruthless people in this narrative are anglo saxons
Listen to the language used in the news clip. No change.
Nothing Change, it's just White like White🤔🤔🤔
Is that all you know about Nkrumah?
Nkrumah was not ruthless.. This is not correct
0:02.
The first coupes de tart in Africa was started in Ghana by Americans. That’s DemoNcracy not Democracy
Why does this make him out to be a horrible dictator, I thought he was supposed to be good
Glittering Fallacies
Prime minister Mohammad haji Ibrahim egal
In 1966 the British overthrown Nkrumah
Any person among this who planned the coupe of Kwame Nkrumah will never make heaven in the name of the Almighty Allah
We do understand the crazy tactics by agents and stooges of the colonial masters. They will never narrate that Nkrumah is one of the best leaders the world has ever seen.
Lies being spewed out by these liars!
the Npp sold all his stuff in his room.
There is a video evidence.
Don't ever forget it: this was the man who on the very first day of independence had the gall to bawl arrogance and diatribe to his followers that they would prove they were superior to "their former colonial masters!". To day his successors have not even the slightest aye even the minutest strength of character to say they were wrong, let alone 'sorry'. Traders and explorers and other broad-minded good men should have left them alone, let them be, to stew in their own juice. They would not be be today boasting about being good enough to preside over the United States.
What do you mean?
You white people think you are better than blacks or what? You are a fool more than your father, your mother and even your president okay
NO ONE LIKE NKRUMAH
Take away slavery from the history of the united states and do you think you would even have a nation? You ain't shit
kojo Ndur
It's about BP not WP
Clearly the commentary is a biased one😂
This reminds me of those TARZAN MOVIES that the DEVILS used to show in America.
Ridiculous
Here's how some Africans view the Nkrumah years.
"But from the very beginning, there was never any true freedom, justice or independence in Ghana. The whole thing was a charade!! The country was soon put under the scourge of the Preventive Detention Act (PDA) in 1958, giving the president the power to put any citizen in prison without trial, and Nkrumah progressively tightened the noose of dictatorship around the country with further draconian laws. Eventually, no law existed in the country because Nkrumah became the law unto himself."

The Brutal Dictatorship of Kwame Nkrumah
By Samuel Adjei Sarfo
To those who disagree. Could you give specific examples of how Nkrumah was democratic as president of Ghana?
Nkrumah was the most autocratic leader Ghana ever had. He was very mean and vindictive , had it not been so, je wouldn't have treated J B Dankwah and the rest the way he did. A very wicked person was Nkrumah and no wonder he died the way he did
See this nonsense ooooo
Talk about propaganda a video.
An interesting but flawed narrative by someone with so much to gain by Ghana or African countries remaining colonies.
Go ask the colonizers why did they feel the need to be so ruthless.
+Joe Tex
It's quite simple: people tend to make up justifications for what they are doing, if needs be after the fact. Careful self-examination is rare, likewise taking the perspective of another into account. Also, the strong tend to take advantage of the weak; yet the weak would like to become strong themselves, and if they succeed, they may end up behaving the same way.
(Proverbs 21:2) 'Every man's way is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts.'
(Proverbs 18:17) 'The first to plead his case seems right, until another comes and examines him.'
When i think of this man i want to slap myself and every other African for allowing ourselves to believe dictatorship is entirely bad 🤔 "Superiors" refer to Nkrumah and Ghadafi as dictators, which we blindly accept as bad. But North Korea is allowed to run a dictative leadership. Give us a break
MHDARMDWDLRY from Ghana
Its not in the united nations so it can do whatever it likes, also all un countries aren't allowed to help North Korea in anyway
@@eggymedia190 they not paying attention cus they have no need for the resources in North Korea. The superpowers definitely would destroy leadership in N Korea if their life depends on the land
@@caverys yeah but if N Korea have multiple missiles pointing at South Korea in the event of an attack
@@eggymedia190 exactly, the super powers will only protect countries with natural resources (HR inclusive)
@@eggymedia190 whether the oppressors meant good or bad, their actions are preventing the oppressed from getting absolute freedom
Stop the blatant nonsense
Fool
Propaganda machinery....
Wtf is this? All lies

This narrator is so damn annoying. Dsitasteful.

It's a very old film - they were all like that in those days
