Modern Ghana Columnist, Announces New Daily Editorial Series

Atitso Akpalu, a Modern Ghana platform columnist, is proud to announce the launch of a powerful daily editorial campaign titled Ghanaians Given a Raw Deal. This six-part series confronts the destructive role of propaganda and political expediency in Ghana’s history, exposing how reputations were destroyed, achievements erased, and families left in ruins.

The series begins with General Ignatius Kutu Acheampong, a leader vilified as corrupt despite his transformative initiatives such as Operation Feed Yourself, irrigation projects, and housing estates. It continues with Lieutenant General Akwasi Afrifa, whose democratic vision was silenced by execution, and Kwame Nkrumah, whose monumental achievements were overshadowed by the “nation wrecker” label. Later chapters highlight the silent victims of political purges, analyse propaganda as a weapon of political tradition, and conclude with a civic call to restore dignity and national cohesion.

Each article blends historical analysis with civic education, offering readers sharp insights into how propaganda shaped Ghana’s political culture and why confronting this legacy is essential for democracy today.

Published daily on Modern Ghana, Ghanaians Given a Raw Deal is more than history — it is a civic project for justice, unity, and national healing. Readers are invited to follow the series, engage in debate, and join the call to restore truth and dignity to Ghana’s national memory.
