A word or two from Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah

A word or two from Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah

"Africa is one continent, one people, and one nation. The notion that in order to have a nation it is necessary for there to be a common language, a common territory and common culture has failed to stand the test of time or the scrutiny of scientific definition of objective reality... The community of economic life is the major feature within a nation, and it is the economy which holds together the people living in a territory. It is on this basis that the new Africans recognise themselves as potentially one nation, whose dominion is the entire African continent. " Class Struggle in Africa

"We have the blessing of the wealth of our vast resources, the power of our talents and the potentialities of our people. Let us grasp now the opportunities before us and meet the challenge to our survival. " Address to the National Assembly. 26 March 1965


"We welcome foreign investment provided that there are no strings attached to it, and also provided that it fits in with our plans for national development and our socialist policy. And we insist that foreign investment should not interfere or meddle with the political life of our country. " Sessional Address to the National Assembly. 1 February 1966

We face neither East nor West: we face forward. ~Kwame Nkrumah

Oh yes, oh yes Thanks for your researches. He saw my generation and had a master plan. He also knew that not every foreigner is an enemy also not every country member is a brother. As we face reality with it's contra productive effects how questionable are HIS good deeds we can implement for our benefits?. Hands on hearts. Who is controling Africa by now? One Hand Washes The Other is the rule of every engagement. Do we have one hand free? With Loving greetings to you all. Johnson...
