Ohemaa, I enjoyed reading your feature article posted on Tuesday 12th August, 2008 at the the general news web page of http://www.ghanaweb.com//, entitled: "Political Infamy: What is Busia doing at Nkrumah Park?"
Ohemaa, God bless you! Please do not worry your head, unnecessarily. There is no point remonstrating with those philistines now in power - who, amazingly, think the judgment of posterity can be bought. Incredible!
And as for the younger generation of Ghanaians, you have no cause to worry on their behalf at all, either, Ohemaa. For, they are definitely not as clueless as the older generation of Ghanaians - who are so easily manipulated by the greedy and dishonest tribal supremacists (our local version of the odious white supremacists of the Western world!) amongst our political class.
And you must also remember that the younger generation of Ghanaians are not as simple as the uncouth "My-party-my-tribe-right-or-wrong" myrmidons - whom you see making those asinine and unhelpful comments on a daily basis at: http://www.ghanaweb.com//
So just let the myopic politicians amongst those who now rule Nkrumah's Ghana, continue thinking that they are extremely clever - because today, they have succeeded in buying unprincipled media types, to act as their regime gaurd-dogs: when their role as the fourth branch of government, demands that they act as society's watchdogs.
And today, dishonest and greedy hacks, who have sold their consciences for material wealth and have become this regime's spin doctors, are helping those who now rule us to spread the tedious and boring message that the "Emperor" is clothed in the most glorious of gold-laced Kente cloths: when in fact honest and decent-minded Ghanaians can all see that the "Emperor" is actually stark naked.
Discerning and independent-minded Ghanaians are not fools, Ohemaa! So, fear not! Nkrumah will be remembered till the very end of time - long after the quislings of Ghanaian politics have sunk into oblivion and been forgotten!
Only those who are intellectually-challenged will delude themselves into thinking that the judgement of history can be bought, or influenced in any way. Posterity does not judge the figures of history on the basis of who pays the most - or gets spin doctors to put the most positive gloss on the events of history.
That is why Nkrumah, who dwarfed all his contemporaries, is a giant of 20th century history - and his enemies are barely known outside Ghana's borders.
And that is also why his political opponents from his native Ghana, virtually all of whom collaborated with our neo-colonialist and imperialist enemies, and were paid agents of the Western intelligence agencies, are rightly not accorded any significance by the world's leading historians and, above all, do not have a place in the Pantheon of the greatest figures in the history of humankind! Hmmm, Ghana - ayea asem oo!
May God bless and protect our homeland Ghana, always. Long live freedom! Long live Ghana!
