The discussion also touched on the upcoming elections, with posts promoting the candidacy of Bawumia and Napo, and criticizing the opposition. The conversation highlighted the ongoing political discourse in Ghana and the importance of historical figures like Nkrumah in shaping national identity and political narratives.
Imagine if Kwame Nkrumah never led the Gold Coast to independence. Imagine if he never constructed the motorway or built the Akosombo Dam and tema harbor. What if he never established the University of Science and Technology. Where would we have been as a people and a nation?…
