Post-- 1966, Ghana Crossed the Line

From 1957-1966 Ghana was a socialist nation with a highly trained, intelligent, charismatic Pan Africanist leader, President Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah who led the indigenous people of the area from what was once, called by European colonialists Gold Coast, to the independent Republic of Ghana (known as the ‘Golden Years’). And in 1965, the first Ghana Cedi was printed, replacing British colonialist pound—1 = 2.4 cedi.

In 1966, Nkrumah was overthrown; and he served as Co-President of Guinea until he passed away in 1972.

Ghana crossed the line. The latter years military coup d’états came on a consistent basis—from the time members of National Liberation Council (NLC) who wrote the U.S. President Johnsons for money until the premiership role of Ghana eventually landed in the lap of one of the most eager and gritty coup leaders, President James J. Rawlings (1993), whose father was a Caucasian (Scottish businessman), and mother was a Ghanaian.

Today, Ghana is still a capitalist nation with an international airport named after Emmanuel Kotoka, a treasonous Ghana soldier, who led the NLC coup to overthrow Nkrumah; reports are Kotoka had a connection with European missionaries and intelligence agencies. Kotoka was ultimately killed, but later forgiven for the coup d’état by Rawlings reconciliation committee.

Ghana is what many may consider a warmed-over European colonial Gold Coast. And the plot thickens.

January 2007, Ghana Web reported one U.S. dollar—1 = 1 cedi; and Ghana government officials allowed money to be funneled in for a major highway in 2008, named after a controversial U.S. president known to be racist by many African Diasporans, President George “GW” Bush; and then former President Kuffour threw himself into the arms of the European Freemasonry and was granted Senior Grand Warden of The United Grand Lodge of England, as several chiefs bent their knees as devout members of Europeans’ religious orders (and yet they rule over shrine and practice rituals).

August 2011, U.S. dollar—1 = 1.5 cedi; and the cedi currency spiral downward for the next ten years.

Medias reported Ghana European-dominated mining and drilling companies were prospering, but to the tune of contaminated waters, mercury pollution; and youth drowning in Galamsey pits; and Ghana was infamously listed by white dominated World Bank Corporation and International Monetary Fund (IMF) as a Highly Indebted Poor Nation (HIPC) and reported on ‘Corruption Indexes.

In 2021, one side of Ghana parliament is energetically rallying for ‘MoMo’ (Mobil Money) Levy—for those out in the diaspora unaware, it is taxing wired money via mobile carrier MTN.

A major coup d’état catapulted the nation across the line out of socialism into the realm of neo-colonial capitalism. To date, the posted exchange rate is a British Pound 1= 9.24 cedi; and U.S. dollar—1 = 6.8 (Forex 2/3/2022).
