Ghana: The African Hero

Today (02.10.2026), one day before celebrating German Reunification Day, I lectured my students: “The law of history is constant and consistent change. Nothing stays the same forever! Empires come and go (Pharaohs Empire, Roman Empire, Mali Empire, Ashanti Empire, Inca Empire, Maya Empire, Achaemenid Empire, Ottoman Empire, to name a few). Standing before Roman Emperor Julius Caesar before his assassination, predicting to his face that the Roman Empire would collapse 600-800 years later, he would take his sword and behead me on the spot for treason.

Today we call these Empires Superpowers, knowing their time has come to fall back into history books as footnotes or chapters of human development. The question is not whether they will fall and become ordinary states to follow the new world order and world leader. They will. What matters is when, how and what will replace them. Empires implode with a little push from outside never explode. Early warning signals, which are always the same,e make observers understand that, at the latest, the next 80-100 years will see the final downfall of these Superpowers. Fundamental power changes to create a new world order never come peacefully. Wars are the trumpets of power change. As we live in a world filled with atomic bombs, the coming world wars will have these arsenals as a significant, dangerous aspect in the back of many minds and add a new, unprecedented quality to the change process.

The world does not like a power vacuum. Where it occurs, it gets filled up. The superpowers of blessed memories will be loyal followers of the new superpowers and Empires, as best friends in the front row.

Current superpowers are already dead bodies in the making. Will Australia, Asia, Arabia, India, South America, Europe, etc., replace them? After deep analysis, this scenario is unlikely. The world operates in cycles. Homo Sapiens left Africa as a black man and returned as white Colonial Masters to dominate Africa and keep the continent in poverty of finances and mind. Corruption, introduced into Africa by the Portuguese in 1492 at the beaches of the Gold Coast (Ghana today), enforced by Christian missionaries, left an entire continent sidelined from world power sharing.

Like the Nubians in the Empire of Kush (Sudan today), who were once slaves of the Egyptian Pharaohs, discovered iron in their territory to take over the throne in Memphis as Black Pharaohs and crushed the Pharaoh's Empire when internal fights emerged, we see today clear signs that the circle of humanity will land back on African soil.

As every development needs a leader and follower, it comes not as a surprise that Ghana will be that leader of the development. It was not by chance but a historic mandate that Dr Kwame Nkrumah led Ghana into independence, the first country on the Sub-Saharan continent. God, through his son Jesus Chris,t declared Peter as the disciple to build his church on, as he was always willing to be corrected and a loyal follower; never perfect in his belief in God but loyal and peaceful always. This characteristic can only be found in Ghanaians: never perfect, not always peaceful, but the most peaceful people in all of Africa. In my book ´The World Ruler´ available online, I have argued my case from a scientific standpoint, while Men of God see this future from a spiritual perspective. When and as Ghana is spearheading the process of African Unity, the moment Africa is the new Empire of the world,d it, subsequently, as head of the African Union, will be the world ruler.

What today seems to be the words of madness was also said to the Nubians when they were slaves of the Egyptians. Critics must answer the question: how was it possible that slaves became rulers over kings who once were Gods“
