Watch the full interview here: • Footprints on Citi TV ...
And how does all this matter. He was a legend who saw the future and strongly advocated for one Africa...
When you dislike somebody and he rises above you and the pain in you causes you to lie and tarnish his image after his demise.🤣🤣🤣 Everyone should ask why now?
I agree I think this man has his facts twisted and also has an underground agenda that no one knows unless he spills out himself.
(1) Kwame Nkrumah was born September 21st 1909 at Nkroful, Gold Coast (now Ghana )
His original ne was Francis Nwia-Kofi after an honored family personal.
Kwame Nkrumah father was a goldsmith a man named Kofi Ngonloma of the Asona clan. I have never met any Liberia man that comes from Akan Clan. His mother's name was Elizabeth Nyanibah. Nkrumah completed his studies at the acclaimed Prince of Wales now Achimota school in Accra. Dr. Kwegyir Aggrey was his mentor.
Kwame Nkrumah did his studies in the United States at Lincoln University Pennsylvania in 1939 and earned BA in economics and Sociology by 1942, in 1943 Master of Science, MA (philosophy )and completed ph.D at university of Pennsylvania
Nkrumah also traveled to ro London in May 1945 where he organized the 5th Pan-African Congress in Manchester, England and began networking through organizations like the West African Students' Union and served as a vice-president. In that same year He decided to change his name from Francis Nwia-Kofi ro Kwame Nkrumah.
The list goes on. Just like this man is degrading our first president and saying he is the one that is telling the truth, we all should also search for the truth. He is not telling the whole truth.
I believe Nkrumah must have done something to cross him but way never find.
@@babyface9438 this scumbag sits there talking about Nkrumah nationality and whole continent of Africa is being plagued by poverty, ignorance, malnutrition and the looting of our resources continues. The same people who opposed Nkrumah industrialization projects were the first to introduce what I will term Ghanaian "taliban" intimidated and terrorized Nkrumah government. Shame on this people
The foreigner collaborated, a seller out who attempts to make Ghana like Nigeria..... he had just crawl out of the woodworm
why now because this is the time and the youth must know the history
@@tiktokhits3961 what history? I last time I remember it was Nkrumah who named Golg Coast Ghana. The so called true sons of Gold Coast, what have they done?
“Liar”. What I don't understand is how a person can tell you so many lies and never fell bad about it.
Guy this man his too old to lie
That's local politics for you.
Daniel Zomelloss he’s lying. Ako Adjei even attended the same university in the USA with Kwame Nkrumah. This man is a liar
@@danielzomelloss1771foools also grow old

You claim to been a Ghanaian...what impact have u brought to us...
Old man lying to his grave...hatred
Well that don't matter to us anymore, all we no is that he's an African and he played a great role in shaping our African independence and politics.
Tell him again
You can say that again my friend
People need to know the true story,
Superb
@@takemeto100kbeforemybirthd2he is a Ghanaian and nzema man unless you want to say the nzemas are not Ghanaians
Indeed heaters will suffer to death... May your soul forever rest in peace our hero Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkruma!!! Your enemies are not God
None of the other big six had a vision like Nkrumah. He was far ahead of his time. When the rest were playing golf with white man and feeling reluctant to fight for freedom, Nkrumah saw the bigger picture..Nkrumah is all over Africa, he has been named after universities, libraries and halls in many countries across Africa. NKRUMAH NEVER DIES no matter the hate of the nation wreckers..
end time
I understand what he mean by saying nkurumah was not ghanian, he is mandingo tribe , the last name nkurumah is only found in mandingos in northern Ghana, Liberia, ivory coast , mali , guinea , Senegal, gambia, bukinafaso , guinea bisau , any where u see nkuruma last name is always mandingo
@@elajahceesay1905 There might be some element of truth in it. But anyone who thinks much harder will know that before colonization we didnt have all these countries. Black people are one and that part of the reason he spearheaded African Unity..This man and his people were limited in thoughts ,had zero foresight and and like tribalism.. they only wanted to gain power and keep Ghana like their own property because they believe they were created here..We all migrated from somewhere at a point in time..ONE AFRICA
I agree with u , he don't understand history , because northern Ghana has many mandingos there , and Kumasi is mandingo area, nkuruma maybe from those areas , even the woman he said was not nkurumah mother has mandingo name , so can u tell me what tribe this man was from ?
I am telling u nkurumah is mandingo last name , in mandingo nineth can be said the same way , it depend what mandingo dialect u speaking, according to akan history they migrated from old Ghana kingdom which was rule by mande meaning mandingo speaking people ; and I think I heard one akan queen mother interview she said they came from old mali meaning mali empire
You mean Nkrumah is not a Ghanaian that's means western region is not part of Ghana shame on to you old man
Kwame Nkrumah is not Nzema name.Kwame Nkrumah name is
Ngoglo Nwea that is real Liberia name.What is Nkrumah father's name?
Ghanaians don't like the truths. The man is right

The interviewer should have asked him whether Jerry Rawlings( son of a British man) is a Ghanaian. He should have also asked him whether Barack Obama is an American.
Barack is an American! He’s mom is white and his dad is from Kenya! Barack was born in America.
@@jemilaiddrisu5124so American goes paternal or maternal 😂
we are proud of DR.KWAME NKRUMAH , no matter how u tell the story.
Thank you! The guy is associated with the leadership of the Opposition's gangster "Ga Shifimo Kpee" and Tokyo Joes of Nkrumah's era. So, he would never have anything honest and good to say about Nkrumah. He is in league with the likes of Mike Oquaye, who seems to be peeved for not being recognized for his modest Academic prowess, and would puff up larger than his size to draw some attention.
The World is laughing at this man's ignorance. In this day and age, it is not difficult to ascertain anyone's Academic record. The Universities Nkrumah attended have shown parts of his work there. The late President was in the middle of writing his Doctoral Thesis when he left to join the UGCC. That is an undeniable fact. So, let this Attoh guy make a fool of himself with his lousy narration and paltry command of the language he has chosen to tell his lies with. His very infantile story lacks the simple, basic logic to convey any cogency and credibility.
Long Live Ghana!!!

Nkrumah was already in Lincoln University, Pennsylvania for his post-graduate studies when Ako Adjei arrived in Lincoln in 1939 for his degree programme. Both Nkrumah and Ako Adjei were in Houston Hall. Nkrumah had a degree in economics and sociology from Lincoln and another in theology from the same university finishing top of his theology class. He further obtained M.A and MSc degrees in philosophy and education respectively. It is well known that he had many honorary doctorates conferred on him though he never completed the PhD programme he started at the London School of Economics. CITI should have verified some of these claims by J.A. Quarshie
I do not doubt Nkrumah's qualifications. However, his fatherhood is relevant on the grounds that Nkrumah's dictatorial tendencies were unprecedented and no Ghanaian leader has arrogated power like Nkrumah did. We need to study it and understand his ideas better in order to construe the bigger picture. Many of our problems go back to the policies of Nkrumah and until we stop seeing him as some divine figure, we will continue repeating them. We need to learn and improve.

K. Nkrumah did so much for Ghana despite his quirks and eccentricities. After 1966 our nation refused to think. Period. Why are we peeved with Nkrumah’s fame today?
....and how was the economy in 1966? Find out how all the economic indicators
@@amberbryan1267 when did it ever get better after 66?
Andy cole always the economic indicators. Smh. What have the economic indicators which says Ghana is so much developing and improving than to the movement in classes in Ghana. The massive lower classes are still there. No improvement.
Nkrumah was more enlightened than all the successive governments even if he had no professional studies. Don't throw dust in our eyes.
You are 💯% right
This man is one of the people who killled Kwame

It's true
Kwame Nkrumah was not a Ghanaian, 😂😂😂 there was nothing like Ghana in the first place.

If you watch when the interviewer ask him about Dr Nkrumah’s mother and he gave a reply, priceless!
who has paid this old man to come and tell us all these lies.
Not all Ga's are lazy and dirty and ppl should stop tribalism, and listen
It seems this man hates Nkrumah with a passion.
I have heard Nkrumah’s father was from Ivory Coast.
Attoh is associated with the Shifimo Kpee and Tokyo Joe thugs who joined the UP/NLM to oppose Nkrumah in the First Republic. He does not have any high Academic laurels himself.
Long Live Ghana!!!
@@goldgem1infinityx872 maybe
We leave to see its an old story but one day the secreat will once out
Not from Ivory Coast but from Liberia.
Thank God his father didn't come from Europe or Asia..
Are Gas not Ghanaian s. Where's your beef? Referring to Nkrumah as 'she.' Ohi3 'gbo.
i dont care about what im hearing today.....it might be the truth or a lie. Currently in this world, all you gat to do is to think smart and you will be on top of your mates. Nkrumah did that and his name is all over. Lets think deep, the country dont need these historical whatever discovery. smh
I'm a Dagomba, but I tell you the truth, the man is right.i dare to learn my country true history.
Maruf Alhassan the truth is very slim
Smh. Someone who added your region to part of Ghana and you are saying this man is rather saying the truth. May Nkrumahs soul Rest In Peace
What has your dagombaness got to do with how an old hater lies on nkrumah.
You aren't serious.
Please ghana,am begging you with the name of God,stop listening to some old men,who are making every effort to rewrite history.there is danger at the end of it.

Truely Nkrumah was , my grandmother who was 104years before her death told us Nkrumah was a Liberia
He isnt
@@tiktokhits3961 Stop saying lies. You definitely part of the NPP family
That is blasphemy. If he didn't studied anything then that made him more impressive.
Obviously the the journalist did not do his houseworK properly prior to this interview
This guy is damn crazy! The education background of Nkrumah in the US and UK is well grounded.
How possible could a person of the stature describe by this fool achieve such monumental heights within a space of ten years rose to become the African Personality of the millennium and wrote some many books that are par excellence. Indeed Nkrumah Never Died.
I remember Attoh Quarshie growing up in James Town, and I remember Francis Weah being Nkrumah's real name. Sometimes some truths are too bitter to swallow, but a stinking truth is better than a sweet lie! We need to know our history!!
Which truth are you referring to and how does it help your life today?
@@samueloforikwakye596, how is not knowing the truth helping your life today?
@@momosarpay5230 Let Attoh Quarshie tell us his contribution to our nation's development and not whether Nkrumah is a Ghanaian or Liberian. After all Nkrumah is an African.

@@the-youth-movement-TYM you are from Somalia and not Ghanaian. I hope this truth helps you.
Mr Attooh speak like Nigerian. At the same time talking nonsense. He knows nothing about history.

So what's the benefit now, how is this going to help us to move out of problems? Nonsense talk indeed
So the lawyer (Ako Adjei) invited the one with (NO Professional Degree Nkrumah) to be the general secretary of the Pan-African Congress? Then the Degree-less Nkrumah 's brain was more sharper than the Degree holding Pan-African Congress members. Mr Attoh Quarshie please come again.
This man is mad..
It's obvious this man hate Kwame Nkrumah with a passion. The university that Kwame Nkrumah attended was recommended to him by Dr Azikwe. Hence the reason a hall was named after them. The hall is called Azikwe-Nkrumah hall in Lincoln university.
I bet this man was one of those folks that colluded with the CIA to overthrow Nkrumah's government in February 1966. Hence the reason I don't put some of these elders on a pedestal. The same thing happened in Nigeria as well. This was sad to watch.
No matter how this man try to put Kwame Nkrumah down, history will always be kind to Nkrumah. He was one of the pioneers of pan-Africanism in Africa. A lot of civil rights activists attended his inauguration in 1957. I.e. Martin Luther king Jr and his wife. Hence the reason his name is well known amongst blacks in diaspora. But nobody knows this man that's speaking ill of the great man.
Gone, but not forgotten! RIP Kwame Nkrumah!! May God continue to bless the family he left behind as well.
Speaking on historical events does not mean you hate anybody.
Mr Attoh Quarshie what did you do for the Gas as an elder? At least Dr Kwame Nkrumah afforded me the opportunity to go to school up to the university. When I hear people like you who connived with non-Gas to sell our lands for pittance and turn around to blame Gas for being lazy, I feel sad. I am from Bukom and I am sad about hearing you speak bad about Dr Kwame Nkrumah. Can you tell me how you acquired your huge house Mr Political Opportunist? My father was a member of the UP because of Mr Ashie Nikolai but he died without a property! Please don’t allow yourself to be used to denigrate others. Use your few days on earth wisely!
Anyemi talk some. This man is dishonest and a traitor just like the Danquahs and the Busias he wants to portray as untouchables. The UP (which later became NPP) was formed on the blood and sweat of Ga's. Today what is our position in that party? only Ashantis and Akyems can be flagbearers of that party. I don't even want to get into that. And this man is here denigrating a man who united a country of over 50 ethnic groups and brought about tribal ambiguity and laid the very foundation for peace, stability and prosperity.
they can try all they want to take away Nkrumah's legacy but the world already knows the truth
Well said my lovely honest brother
I have read the book authored by Mr.Blay.......and nothing was written about Nkrumah not being the child of Nyaniba........Mr.Quarshie,u speak of Nkrumah not being Ghanaian.......are u Ghanaian,don't u Gas come from ilefe in Nigeria?Gas like u are the reason the Asantes n Akyems look down on the other tribes in Ghana.....Go back to Nigeria n Nkrumah will also go back to Liberia......simpl
Bantze Hotep There are two sets of lands in Accra. We contributed to Ghana with our lands acquired by government. When we complain about lands we are referring to our family lands like the ones you left in your villages. Remember we are farmers and fishermen. But also intellectuals! Remember Tetteh Quarshie was a Ga. I wish we can have one Ghana as Kwame Nkrumah envisioned and created by the boarding school system but some of you are annoying and ignorant.
Bantze Hotep You sound like the president and Osafo Marfo-the tape. When you die take the buildings along! Remember you tried several times to assassinate Nkrumah. Prophet Badu Kobi said you are greedy and I can’t agree more with him. This is what drives many of you into crime inside and outside the country thereby tarnishing the image of Ghana. Have you forgotten the Akans came from Mali. Learn your history!
To set the records straight, Kwame Nkrumah obtained his first degree in sociology (graduated magna cum laude) from Lincoln University. Though he was admitted into the Theological program at Lincoln, he also enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania and obtain other degrees.
Doe's it mean that Kwame Nkrumah was clever than you all ? We are not ready to listen to such persons
George Appiah exactly
Big layer Nkrumah Father's from Half Assini in Jomoro district in western region big layer
You are correct 💯 ✌🏿
enwunlu Sylvester this man is bitter and miserable
I think he is suffering from too much alcohol.
Amazing that someone is alive at the same time Kwame Nkrumah was alive to attest to the times of Kwame Nkrumah in real time. This is extremely important. Luckily, there're also others all across the African continent. Dr. Kenneth Kuanda of Zambia is around and others. Please make the best of the living legends.
All he said was hatred and lies
Our great ancestors Kwame Nkrumah never dies he still leaves. A man who did not even built a house in his home town.
Great leaders are never greatly educated. Leadership is a gift from God. It is never acquired by education but purely a gift from God. Kwame Nkrumah deceived the Ghanaians with his fake story of been a Doctor.
How did Nkrumah deceive Ghanaians.
Doctor? Don't you know we have doctors in education (books and etc? Stop lying okay
look at this nonsense from an old man. the man is not here to defend himself and you think that is the best time for you to attack him. Nkrumah is not Ghanaian yet he did for Ghana what your master, the traitor you call J.B. Danquah and his NPP progeny cannot do in a hundred years
Truly KWAME NKRUMAH never DIES.
Please leave JB Danquah out of this. This man is full of shit.. All he is saying are lies and nonsense.
Could you believe the lies this old man is spouting out? It is unbelievable some Ghanaians are dangerous. What did Busia and all those people who collaborated with CIA to overthrow Kwame Nkrumah do for Ghana? They reversed every progress that Ghana was making. Now look at the
condition of Ghana and draw your own conclusion.
@@POINT_OF-CORRECTION Exactly. Jocelyn Danquah was a giant. His main difference with Nkrumah was that he was telling Nkrumah that it is impossible to build a modern Ghanian State without Ghanian Traditions.And here Nkrumah's School Master, Danquah , was correct.
Nkrumah is a hero among us African diaspora in the Western Hemisphere who knows his legacy.
Nkrumah was not Ghanaian, Ask him if Ghana was made when Nkrumah arrived? Shame. All said by him indicates that we had block headed leaders till the so called nobody came with wisdom to over shadow them. Only the wise has prevail.
Dr. Nkrumah stand tall among all of you.. You need to be arrested for twisted the fact of history Shame. Hater
This man paaaa. Nkrumah is a Liberian. Aye asem ooooo
He's 100% correct about Nkrumah's origin
Levi Garma he is true nezima. You be fool paaa
Weather you don't like it or like it Dr. Kwame Nkrumah never dies ooh yes.
This man has to be arrested and put him to jail before he will come spore these youngest Africans who are trying to build Africa and united Africa together. weather you like it or not Nkrumah is Ghanaian and is Africana and is also piler of Africa independent. see Old man enemies of progress, a Historie that not have value in society.
He can't destroy nobody he rather destroying himself.

I guess Nkrumah might have done this man wrong, the way this man passionately discredit Nkrumah is incredible ..... He he is in all force to distort our history.
Nkrumah imprisoned him under the PDA ( preventive detention act) because he and a gang of thugs were using knives, broken bottles and home made bombs to disrupt political rallies of the CPP (Convention People Party) in Accra in the 1950s. I did witness this acts a boy at rallies near St. Mary's Anglican church in Akoto Lantey, Accra and near the Catholic church at Derby Avenue, Accra. Many were injured a few killed. Would he be honest and admit that? I doubt it.
@@vincentadika8562 ok that is why he is full of bitterness
This guy is liar. Nkrumah graduated from Lincoln university. I happen to attend the same university and there is a hall named after him
Will we stop this NONSENSE already?
Likewise Jesus wasn’t human but for the live he had for us. Nkrumah wasn’t Ghanaian and so what???? And if I may ask, who is even Ghanaian??
#NONSENSE!!
It's like the Weah name is the only Liberian name he know..
This Joshua Attoh Quash ie is "apeteshie" demented and appears very confused and incoherent. Even if Nkrumah was not a "Ghanaian" what does it matter if an African was able to lead the Gold Coast to independence.Where was Joshua Attoh Quash ie. To speak so disparaging lies about such an illustrious son of the land is unfortunate. Whoever wrote this disparaging, distorted fabrication will live to regret it.May God help Ghana
They will not live to regret anything. I believe this man.
This enlightens the youth today to ditch degree for better job mindset and use their brain 🧠 and talent, if Nkrumah never was a degree holder yet left the legacy we all know today. This motivating 💪🏿
How old is this Man?? Nkrumah's sons are far older than this man
As a young boy, I knew Nkrumah's real name to be Francis Wiah Kofi..
But tgata very very educative. I love history soo much. Thank you to Mr Attoh for the lecture given. I can also boast a little upgrade to what I already know. Thank you Footprint Tv. Thank you Citi tv.
Franky Entertainment TV you are such a liar. Go back to school.
@@samscouponclippingcenter3396
However, notwithstanding those claims & my earlier comments , I made no references to the real family background of our best president ever. Neither his parents, siblings, hometown, relatives nor his place of birth. I remember vividly what we were taught in school.
Now @samscoupon clippingcentre, should you care to know exactly how I got to know the name, research always uncovers new ideas. Go online and google for Watson Commission and read about all historical articles over there. Secondly, in 2008/9 exercise books were presented to students across the country with Nkrumah's portrait boldly at the front page and his biography at the back. Now in the first line it mentioned Nkrumah's full name.
[Osagyefo Dr Kwame Francis Nwia Kofi Nkrumah] if you really are eager to prove me a liar, go back and do ya research well. I did mine bf making any claims. Besides, I never said anything I'll about my president, who shared the same name with me.
No. Kwame Nkrumah was born in Gold Coast in Nzemaland or of the Nzema tribe in the then Gold Coast (South-West Gold Coast/Ghana) so he was a Gold Coaster and later Ghanaian when Gold Coast became Ghana. His name Nkrumah as explained in the previous post is a corruption of or the mispronunciation of Nkoroba/Nkoba or Ngolomba as he was called in Nzema language and also in some Fanti slant.
Nkoroba/Nkoba (only child) or Ngolomba as indeed rendered or presented by various historical records and sources, some of them anecdotal and others apocryphal, was his biological father's name (Ngolomba). Nevertheless, we should do the man (Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, first prime minister and first president of Ghana) his due honour, and respect the name he carried, Kwame Nkrumah, and the citizenship he bore as a Gold Coaster/Ghanaian and not rant and rage over this.
We all, from our ancestry to modern times, have come from somewhere to settle somewhere to become citizens of some place, so what's the hue and cry and brouhaha about somebody not being Ghanaian? We become citizens of any country, state or community by birth or through naturalisation or by genealogical or ancestral lineage, and Kwame Nkrumah was Ghanaian by birth, born in Nzemaland in South-West Gold Coast or South-West Ghana that should suffice and put every argument of his original or native country's citizenship to rest. Thank you. *Courtesy:**SETHKBD.CO.UK**, SHAKESPEARE DRIVE, LONDON.*
Definition of “Not everyone that is old is wise
Sooooo proud of Our Dr Kwame Nkromah, , may the ALMIGHTY God bless Africa with more of Nkromahs
this man lied
It's rather a sad scene that most of you here commenting insults are young enough to be grandchildren of this man. And yet even if he may supposedly be telling lies, you have no intensions of making your own research before you jab your rubbish opinions. Here is a quote from the official Wikipedia page of Dr Nkrumah.. Note that he has two names.. Kofi and Kwame. This is not even possible because these are two different names for two different days in the Akan language.. Hopefully this will throw some insight to some of you who just talk without making your own research. Secondly also check the name he first bore being "Nwia" What's the origin of this name and which tribe in Ghana bares it?
I quote " By the naming customs of the Akan people, he was given the name Kwame, the name given to males born on a Saturday(depending on the tribe i.e. Ashanti or Fante). During his years as a student in the United States, though, he was known as Francis Nwia Kofi Nkrumah - Kofi is the name given to males born on Friday. He later changed his name to Kwame Nkrumah in 1945 in the UK, preferring the name "Kwame"
How can one even be named Kofi and Kwame at the same time. And secondly, why was the name Nwia removed?
There’s away to see if someone is telling a lied * you stated he didn’t study in the USA, later you added he had no money to pay his tuition but rather got support from his friend.. however you stated he later came to Ghana after his law degree *
Tell us what you did for Ghana 🇬🇭
No one advertises fire 🔥 we see n draw closer so was Nkrumah...
whether Nkrumah is a Ghanaian or not we all know he is a black man and an African and that's enough.
Very intelligent comment indeed

He is twisting everything
It wasn't JB Danquah who sponsored Nkrumah's trip to Ghana but Paa Grant.
This man Quarshie is a legend who knows much about the dictator Nkrumah, truly Nkrumah was not a Ghanian Francis Wieah was his name, please let's publish all the bad side of dictator Nkrumah so that those who adore him as God will stop disturbing our ears
the man is given out names and facts . lets not start to conclude the man message . we have to do research to know the truth .
Jah Bless there’s nothing to research, it doesn’t matter where anyone was born, everyone who was present in Ghana or any other country at the time of independence, is a citizen of that country. Unless you want to go back to check on citizens of all the various tribes in the Gold Coast before an independent Ghana.

Very disappointed in Bernard Avle's Cititv.
The same way Rawlings was said not be be a Ghanaian. The same way Kenneth Kaunda, after gaining independence and ruling Zambia, but was told he was not a Zambian. These were the stooges who connived with imperialists to destroy Ghana and Africa's greatness. Massa, which of your answers since creation matches the extremely profound intelligence of Dr Nkrumah!
Which one is which. Nkrumah is not a Ghanaian. But he was trying to be tribalism. 😄 😆 😆 Ghana should keep their history. People hate Ghana because of our success and we habe allowed to many foreigners in Ghana thats why. We should be proud and keep our history. People want to be Ghanaians. We should be proud and stop the tribalism. GA EWES ASHANTIS WE ALL THE SAME.
CITI TV SHAME ON YOU ALL AT THE STUDIO. FOR GIVEN THIS APPRECIATED MAN AIR TIME. THANKS
This man has an ethnic issue. This is Ghana. One Ghana, One people, One love. Stop this ethnic and tribal battles. We want unity and not division.

Nkrumah will forever be great Ghanaian no matter what traitors like this Atooh Quashie say. .Nkrumah books and ideas make him great. His speeches, ideas and spirit when he lived speak volumes.
This presenter or interviewer is the most foolish person in Ghanaian media, if Nkrumah is my father I will sue him and the station.
Yes...cos the interviewer himself is ignorant about Nkrumah.......Nkrumah completed achimota in 1935....yet Stroh Quarshie who speaks no better English says he didn't go to school n was a toilet pumper......I pity this man.....no matter how much u guys hate Nkrumah he's bbc's best African of the millennium.....what abt that?....
All you do is insult people, why are you here?
@@gagaga1244 who has insulted who here......? This man insults our first president to our faces n when we speak against it,u here talking abt insults........
Who was Nkrumahs father? What's his name?
Who's the joker)?
All this mouth wash is overboard. Nkrumah has done the deal Way way back.
I am in Pennsylvania US and when you go to Cheney University formerly Lincoln University you will find Nkrumah's name on a large Plague with the names of the Almini. I challenge this guy and his sponsors to go Cheney University , Pennsylvania to verify the truth . This guy is suffering from skin pain.
Great interview not because of the accuracy or the lack thereof of facts but for posterity. It's about time we start documenting these historical events. For those who reject the veracity of Mr. Attoh Quarshie's account of events, i entreat them to request a "rebuttal" or a "correction" interview with the host or any journalist of their choice and let the chips fall where they may but we do need these interviews. Thanks CitiTV.
Foolish Ga, check this website archives.upenn.edu/exhibits/penn-history/nkrumah
