Why I Love Nkrumah And Not CPP

Why I Love Nkrumah And Not CPP
04 APR 2014 LISTEN

An ongoing discussion on Facebook struck me to write this here. Certain people who are politically and ideologically attached to the CPP do claim it is impossible or put it, it is not wholly to love Kwame Nkrumah and hate his CPP. In fact, I am not a political cohort neither politically sentimental to any group, but as a consumer and a post-producer of things worth discussing, I write to state my self opinionated thoughts on the issues trending here and there.

First, as a budding Nkrumahist and Pan-Afrikanist,I think without any obsession that in actual fact, it is ever possible for one to love Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and hate his CPP.

I could ever cherish Nkrumah based on what I have heard and read about him, be it, his own works he wrote or the works of others about him. Nkrumah to me is an "influence" and a "spell" that leaves one to be burried and hidden in his entirety.

Kwame Nkrumah goes beyond mere political entity. Nkrumah is a "human-god" thus a dime of him is what makes CPP. Nkrumah's head is a "Field-of-Knowledge", that is, relevant for now, tomorrow and the future.

Comparing Nkrumah with CPP is like Comparing Nkrumah with his writings alone, thus negating his spiritual and physical embodiment.

I love Nkrumah unalloyedly particularly based on his "totality", and not just a sample of his fragment the (CPP). Nkrumah is like a community and a society. He is a river that people fish in it to get fishes of knowledge, ideals, principles, philosophies and doctrines. Ask President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and he would tell you in plain words that, the man Nkrumah is a "Human-Saintly".

Nkrumahism is culture, Nkrumahism is tradition, Nkrumahism is values and Nkrumah is totality.

These are a synopsis of the thoughts of a "village boy".
