Your MINDSET alone and tribal interest define you
NKRUMAH WILL FOREVER BE OUR LEGEND AND MOTIVATION
he IS AN INSPIRATION TO WE STUDENTS
Which tribal mindset ?
I agree… Nkrumah IQ was way ahead of his peer…,especially this man..I can you say because he does not know God cus he went to akonorde and kankan nyame….myopic old men don’t want to move beyond their limitations
Nkrumah was simply the man for the moment ,you cant call the whole country crazy ,there must be something Nkrumah was doing right .
To almost write Nkrumah off is uncalled for .
One thing that is almost certain in life is this: PEOPLE AIN’T JUST ONE THING.
A person can be a GOOD FATHER, A GOOD BROTHER, and also a BANK ROBBER.
A person can be a GOOD MOTHER, A GOOD COMMUNITY ACTIVIST, and also a DRUG ADDICT.
A person can be a GOOD LEADER IN PUBLIC, and also a TYRANT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
NB: In no way am I suggesting that H.E. Kwame NKRUMAH was as the interviewee depicts him, OR AM I SAYING HE WAS NOT. I think most of US all here are learning history, one way or the other.
POLITIC IS A DIRTY GAME, period !!!
This man is alive for a purpose
Very sharp and full of Ghana's history
most people are not patient to know the truth . he has said his , lets make research .
All the 300 companies Nkrumah left tell me how many left now,you people are destroyers
We’re not ignorant lyk u dis illiterate old man should repent before is too late we’re not buying what he’s selling it’s all líes
Partly true. Nkrumah's dad was Liberian. Real name is Francis Nweah Ngoromah. I met his nephew, and was so lovely listening to him and drawing out the family tree. His father had two wives. One Liberian and the other Madam Nyanebah. A true AFRICAN !!!
Interesting
Do u know the meaning of nwea or u think Ghana is one tribe country if u don't know it shut up, my father too is nwea is is he from liberia?
What a man....amazing interview, SPECTACULAR guest.
Hope to meet this high achiever albeit limited formal education before he leaves us....Thank you ever so much pa!!!
Exactly my thoughts! So much information this guy has. He seems to know facts! We’ve allowed too much sentimental feelings to cloud our search for truth.
This Man is telling the Truth. Ghanians stop critizing this truthful Man!!!
Thank you Mr J A Quarshie please write a book for us so that we can all learn the truth of our country Ghana. We want part 3 of this great interview, please include a lot of advise because we Ghanaians need it.God Bless.
P
Which Truth?
The sharpest brand n I have ever heard and he said s 95 years old.
This man as make my day,But some of us are so stupid that we start to insult him the man say go and investigate,you can go to archieves.in the part 1 he talk about one solomon who gave Nkrumah house at accra new town i know that for a fact becouse Mr solomon is my brothers grand father.
Your brother's grandfather and not yours?
@@henriomoeje8741 10 brothers can have 10 grand fathers; one mother 10 fathers...DOES THIS ANSWER YOUR QUESTION my namesake?
@@iam-the-professor yup but women weren't that loose back in the day. They were full of virtue.
@@henriomoeje8741 Certainly women were of virtue in those days. I was simply pointing out the possibility of why Musbau may have said "my brother's grandfather".
Great historical needed information.
All those condemning this man's giving informations should simply seek to learn deep first. Because this man is granded with the Ghana historical facts as a key player in the Ghana earliest days.
What facts did he have or knew when he was not a party man and was in detention shortly after independence in 1958 until 1967 when he and others were released? He was in the transport service prior to his detention, so what intrigues did he knew that were taking place in Ghana party politics considering his level of education and exposure among the political gladiators, apart from rumours, speculations and assumptions which were not necessarily true. All l can gather from his discourse, he must have belonged to the gang of saboteurs the British used to stand against Nkruma's ways and when the latter grabbed power he imprisoned him and his cohorts out of circulation in order consolidate his position in power. However, now that Nkruma is no more, he came up with these fairytales that Nkruma was not a Ghanaian but a Liberian whose parents were unknown. If at all he had these hard facts and they were true, l believe Nkruma's political opponents and the British authorities would have used them against Nkruma and thwarted him from getting to power. I believe it too late to rewrite history of Ghana at this material time. But be that as it may, he or anyone cannot never wash it away, Nkruma was an African who fought for the liberation of not only Ghana but Africa.
@@IsaNBaba Self government self government andd where is Ghana today? You should appreciate those who have the truth and say it as it is, you should be thankful for him letting us know the truth about Nkrumah and how he gained political power. you are just going according to what history lessons thought you, this man lived through it
@@gntv9552 his age as claimed by him cannot be true. Secondly, he wouldn't have been saying the truth of what transpired in Ghana when he was in detention for ten years. What was his political weight and connection to have installed a civilian administration under a military rule? These are some of the disconnect from his discourse.
Just worried with some of his distortions.
@@IsaNBaba Just because someone was in detention does not mean their ears and eyes were shut, what an idiotic statement to make. Mandela was in detention for years during apatheid regime yet he knows most if not everything that transpired during the dark days of South Africa. Kwaku baako was in and out of jail several times yet knows everything that went on even when he was in prison, how will you explain that. masa think before you speak
God really blessed this man for an old man looking young like this, it's a blessing
He was lucky to be alive. Probably he could have been dead but for his detention. He should be grateful instead of spewing out hate. Shame on him. Ghana needs love.
@@jotabil2163 He is saying it as it is, learn your history
@@gntv9552 That's fake news and fake history. No evidence whatsoever. We were old enough to know that he is spewing lies and hate. If i were son of Dr. Nkrumah I would drag him to court. His agenda will not stand. Shame to him and people who helped him to orchestrate this fake history.
@@jotabil2163 You are an idiot, he can't lie on national television while the host is there. There are things which he knows as well the host does. Most Ghanaians do not like to learn and research they just take what is given to them as it is
jotabil2 u know notn look for the fact and stop fooling ,,Ghana shall prosper
Very interesting 🧐 🤔 interview with a little Nigerian twist. I enjoyed it all though I’m Nigerian. Even though Nkrumah was allegedly not a Ghanaian, he was a Pan-Africanist and understandably so
I love this interview
Very informative....
I wish we have a man like this in nigeria to tell us the truth
If you come from Accra or live in Accra and you are 40 years you know what he is saying is true, because you have heard a little of the story that he is telling.
“Speaking the truth can influence people who fear God “ brilliantly spoken dearest dear sir yrs a
Mr. Samuel Attoh. thanks for the Interview. We need part 3........to the current situation. Please do that for us . We hungry for Attoh Quarshie experience . Can't tired of listen to him. Also encourage him to write a book. This library cant be lost .
Who is Ghanaian and who is Liberian does not matter in this case. I bet he could say something much more important. America is great because they accept people who can assist them to rise.
Before 1957 there was no Ghana. We had Gold Coast and the people were British citizen under common wealth. One became a Ghanaian post 1957 when we had the first nationality act so all this Nkrumah not been Ghanaian makes no sense. We need to learn when we had our first nationality act
I am beginning to believe Attoh Quarshie because this man with his age of 95 can remember everything chronologically.
Yes ! I think Nkrumah's ambition for his African Unity project as a president blinded his judgement as a president.
Attoh Quarshie is not 95 years, he is much younger.
@@truthteller7754 because you have birth to him right? The reason why some of our Ghanaians older generation cannot remember their age is because majority didn't go to school and they don't tell their children what year or their real age so has they get older so is the main and good diet and herbs help with memory.
More fire !! Mr. Attorh Kwashi
Very interesting! Wow!
Thank you dear sir yes God is great indeed for blessing you so much sir
Hahaha I dey enjoying this interview
This guy is teaching us history
What history, what a joke of a historian
@@josephasamani7437 What part is a joke?
You are used to one sided story so everything is false to you 😊😊😊@josephasamani7437
Interesting historical perspectives.
Hello, Folks. I started doubting this man the very moment I heard him speak of Kankan Nyame, "a so called Juju priest", who, he said, was from Senegal. The so-called Kankan Nyame(The God of Kankan) was an outstanding Quranic teacher of great reputation in the town of Kankan, in Guinea-Conakry. His full name was Cheick Fantamady Cherif, or Kankan Sekouba(the great Sheikh of Kankan). He was one of the wisest men the continent has ever known. He simply used to pray for people, not give them any "so called fetishes". People used to come from as far as Central to ask for his blessings; even the French colonial administrators of the day in French West Africa came to him during World War II to ask him to pray for the liberation of France from German oppression. In the early fifties, Nkrumah happened to be friend with one of the sons of the Sheikh of Kankan, El Hadj Iwah, a dynamic trader of the time. Through him, Kwame Nkrumah approached the old wise man, who prayed for him. That story, distorted a 1000 times became the basis of the ridiculous fables peddled about Nkrumah and his power. That is what this man is selling here: rubbish.
Africa is moving forward. There's evidence of adversity in a particular time and space of that period. We thank The Almighty GOD- Allah for giving the human race of Africa and the people of African decent worldwide the honorable Osayefo, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana.
I joy this interview
Where's party 3, 4,5,... more please thanks
We need a part 3 man. Com'on man..
Abaa ba se
NO disrespect,
Nkrumah was against corruption, he was not wicked, in other countries if you are corrupt you die but in Ghana anyone fighting against corruption and KULUULU is a wicked person.
but Mr. Joshua Attoh Quarshies did you by any means heard of anything about six (6) assassination attempt on Kwame Nkrumah and what was your role. Meda wo ase
#Nkrumah was Not a WICKED PERSON.
Nkrumah was corrupt.
Nkrumah was a great mam don't man these old man, they the opposition Leaders of Nkrumah from onset of his regime. These are the guys was against ghanas development. Nkrumah remains the great. Look at the house he is living in even at that time to date he was notorious that time.
Kwame Nkrumah never dies still Accra is our capital
Incredible interview, bring part 3 please
This man will be forever remembered
He's right about all that he was my dad my two uncles and one anuti of my were schooling at nsimaa by then and they talked about it all the time.
I love this man because Kwame Nkrumah came and meet the money 'Tema 'Akosombo and order plans has already done by the English he stopped them and invested in other Africa countries for his Famous.
i dont know why GBEDEMA WAS NOT RECOGNIZE IN GH,NOT EVEN A MONUMENT,HMM SAD
Which akosombo or tema plan did Nkrumah stop? 😂
So don't u see akosombo dam sitting therr.. Koo Bibini 😂😂
He should w try write a history book for Ghanaians because some of us young Ghanaians want to learn about Ghana before independence and after and before the British came into Ghana has well.
I know his house personality....he is a great man
UP cars and usual opposition party rally songs around Charles Lane horse road Hansen road Ogle street. Cpp cars with their rally songs from Derby avenue Aayalolo Kimberley avenue Knutsford avenue and Okaishie and Tudu areas. We saw a lot in history
Hi Mr Mensah do you know if President Kwame Nkrumah spoke any Ghanaian languages?
Of course Nkrumah spoke his native nzema and fanti.
Nana Malik thank you so much. Att oh Kwashie was one of the haters of Nkrumah at that time. Trouble causer.
GBEDEMA was very prominent figure and firrst finance minister but not recognize,not even a streets or monuments name after him,this sad
Ato Quarshie kana wu always.
Nkrumah father is a krou from the coastal region of cote d'ivoire this is known by the elder people there his father was even buried there
Ngoroma is Nzima word for Nkrumah and Kwame took the Akan version of the name to make it easy for mentioning
Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Truth has no place in politics. Too Machiavellian.
Excellent memory
This interview make me know that the big five deceived Ghanaian's for not letting ghanaians to know the country of origin of Nkrumah. I think they wanted to use him and then damp him. But he was very smart to let it happend .
Does it matter where he's from? Napoleon wasn't French but he's revered there. Osajofor loved Ghana and Africa to the core.
Hmm infact the man is talking the gospel truth so people insulting him learn I even thought the had died long a go and os amazing for him to remember the name s and dates I've even heard some of things he saying so the person insulting him should rather listen to learn more from him
@James Frankson Tetteh,.. Mr tetteh, which prominent Ghanian died a few days ago?.. I must have missed it on the news.. Have a good Friday Sir. 😊
This is beautiful history that I never knew, though I remember glimses of the time. People, learn your history, and don't be stupid!!
You're rather the stupid one
kankan Nyame
at LAMAKARA in Togo
We were told Guinea. In any case is Nyame a Togo or Guinea name? We are also told Kankan Nyame was a fabrication after the coup to tarnish his image.
Considering the political vicissitudes of the time, Nkrumah was a true show boy. Please don’t lead a birther movement on Nkrumah’s nationality. Ghana failed to think after 1966. Period.
Young pioneer's
Afrifa and Kotoka,I love histroy
I don't no why the host was happy when he was saying Nkrumah never schooled in america and therefore Pennsylvania.
How can someone who never schooled become a secretary for students in UK?
This is the second time am hearing this from another person. I thought it was a secret because I've only heard this side of the story from my grandfather. Not knowing it's an open secret, and documented
ghanians dont want to listen to the truth .
This man is out.of mind he don't no anything this people are the down fall of Ghana
@@richardemmanuel1797 Hey Dan if this is all true, every Ghanaian plus the world would know this long before Nkrumah's demise. Nkrumah' had too much enemies for this info to be swept under the carpet. Did you listen when he said Busiah arrested him too? Play back to listen to his reason. He has a bad record for opposing leaders. He's been in and out of jail many times. Wise up people
Even the Queen of England who is 94 and has one best medical attention is not as young as Attoh Quarshie who is bitten by mosquitoes daily.
Attoh Quarshie should come out with his real age.
He is 95 years old and we African are not the same as White People plus different environment and diet Sir my grandma was 100 years old but look like she is in a her 70s
Truth Teller He is black and powerful is our skin and Geographical position
@Truth Teller remember black don't crack
@@JEPHTHAH_ Black don't crack but it's in need of lubricant🤣🤣...I heard that from a stand up conedian
Kankan is a town in Guinea
Interesting,my mom told me alot,history is interesting,Nkrumah ,how he was wicked
In 58 the man was in prison and at the same time in Nigeria?
The host is mature journalists
We ga help kwame Nkrumah and JJ Rawlings to become president.and we will always help foreigners to become president
You can say that again. We help outsiders and not ourselves.
@@redsak5311 The very reason we Ga are failing is that we have focus all our hate on Asante people but all the office in Accra is occupied by ewes and Northerners but not Asanti people and our people are doing security work while ewes n northern are in office
It would be hard for our history to be rewritten
But sankofa yenkyi
People like this man should publish books of their stories off course with facts so that the younger ones can make up their minds about our history. Great programme .
I agree.
God gave you long life and good health for a reason, use that to clean your records if you want to talk. Why not talk about the reason you were sent to jail during the Acheanpong era? Talk about the coup you plotted with Nyaho & co. Nkrumah sent you to jail for doing nothing, maybe you were the most important person in Ghana then. You have a record of trying to oppose statutory authority. You opposed Busiah for chosing Akuffo Addo as Exec President and he arrested you, but for Nkrumah you did nothing. Go and tell that to extra-terrestrials.
After all that i have learnt,i think this man is a GUY. I love his Pidgin language pouches .haha....
Let me tell you this is real English ok .
Ofori Ata
A man of such caliber wont just live a normal life...he has to be strong
Toppio Joe " was the father of all vigilantism in Ghana.
I luv this man
Is not topio is tokiio joe
You were part of those who made the system ungovernable for Nkrumah right.
I would like u to ask Mr Atto Quuarshie why did Nkrumah jail the opposition leaders without trial
How old is Joshua Attoh Quarshie?
Truth Teller 95
We read from the daily graphic evening news that the bomb potters who were trying to kill Nkrumah then a man by the name Maallam Tula Teiko Tagoe and madam. Asaaba Quarcoo they had the bombs hidden with Asaaba. Maallam Tula says when he sees the big man edey fear to throw the bomb. The UTC bombing. They were all imprisoned at Kulungugu/Tamale prison. On your way to Paga or Bawku you will see the prisoner's chained sitting under baoba trees for shade and fresh air.
Who was KOTOKA ? Was he Ga also ?
Ewe
Go and read your true History!!!
A stranger of the shore. He too Is a stranger.he is not pure Ghanaian he is from some where
Daa da da Lumunba E Daa da Lumunba E Lumunba E yagbe Ghana he bui E be no Kasavuby hu ke Tshombe. Azoo deke tsu wonor esaa ke woke Jesu Ana mane hlu Dan dani woye gormor nebe nagbenagbee.
Hello brethren, I am not against what Mr Quarshie is saying here, but what I have notice from our beloved Country is that from Dr Nkrumah’s time till date no president from our Country Ghanan has been praised even the current president his excellency Nana Addo,
But for me I take what Mr Quarshie explanation as todays npp and ndc, because they all criticized their selves. I can only believe him 90% if he praised a little good side of Dr Nkrumah then.
Accepted, he was a party man and due to his low level of education, he was not in the know of dynamics and political intrigues that was going on in Ghana and the contributions of Nnkruma to Ghana's independence but had faint ideas of developments in the country. However, he had hatred for Nkruma.
Just hatred, typical of an African man. He is not 95 years but in his late 80s. He would have been in his late 20s when Ghana got independence in 1957. If he claimed Nkruma was not a Ghanaian, he was an African who fought for the liberation of a place he term as his home country and known world wide. An ethnic chauvinist he is. Most of his stories about Nkruma and political development that took place from he was detained in late 50s to his release from detention in the mid 60s were hear say since was not on the political field more so not a politician.
@@IsaNBaba How is it hear-say if he lived through those days? You are just brainwashed and indoctrinated. The truth is a bitter pill to swallow
@@gntv9552 the hear say: for not being in the core circles of political party politics prior to independence and when he was out of circulation in detention for eight years. For God sake, how could he have been saying the truth of all that took place? Don't we have historians and archival records in Ghana?
@@IsaNBaba He lived through it and was involved heavily in politics, this is one of the veterans in terms of Ghana's Politics that lived and witnessed before and after the formation of independence so don't tell me you don'y believe what he is saying just because you "think Nkrumah did some good things". History can always be distorted to fit a certain narrative. Like the man rightly said if anyone thinks he's lying they should come out and prove him wrong with documents etc. I' rather take the word of someone who lived though those times rather than to believe an ordinary publication. You are just in denial because you know you learned the wrong thing in school.
@@gntv9552 where was he when Nkruma and the rest were making history before and after the British and we never heard these distortions? ...and he never came up with his thesis until decades after his contemporaries had passed away.
I agree… Nkrumah IQ was way ahead of his peer…,especially this man..I can you say because he does not know God cus he went to akonorde and kankan nyame….myopic old men don’t want to move beyond their limitations
Our generation is so stupid and ignorant, we don't know our history! Thank you, Attoh Quarshie!!
History will remember Dr Kwame Nkrumah the first Ghanaian President. This man is Accra man. He reasons like one. After coup de etat Ghanaians have been suffering for the past 60 years. We were the royal family of Africa during Dr Kwame Nkrumah time.
GA PEOPLE play alot of role in gh but wonder why they are not united together,but let themselves defeated by AKANS in accra
He was loved.
NKRUMAH is Africa's true son.
He didn't amass wealth for himself like others did .
Do u expect him to choose people just because they did good to him?
It should be on merit?
He may have obviously thanked them.
He doesn't need to make someone Prison's Director, etc.
If they didn't love him, they (Ga's ,etc. won't vote for him).
CITI TV TELL ATTOH. TO HELP DEVELOP THE GAADAMGBE LANDS SO THE CHIEFS STOP SELLING THE LANDS TO THE AKANS AND THE FOREIGNERS. AND TELL HIM SHUT UP . AND THINK OF HIM SELF AND LIVE DR KWAME NKRUMA ALONE AND LET HIM REST IN PEACE. THANKS
Hi folks, please see below another perspective on HE Kwame Nkrumah's education from transcript posted at UPenn [archives.upenn.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/nkrumah-transcript-1943.jpg]. Please see for yourselves; the transcript shows him enrolling in graduate studies at UPenn. I am going to hold judgement on the veracity of Quarshie's accounts, as I plan to continue my research on this matter.
One of the anti Nkrumah at his best.They are just trying to twist the history.
I love his hair style... tokiojoe
u crack bottles and chase,beat up police and u want to walk free...
KANKAN NYAME STORY IS TRUE ABOUT NKRUMAH
Wao, 95 years old and still have over 95% of black hair on your head.
Why is this man --Joshua Attoh is talking about this episode of The late Dr. Kwame Nkrumah now, why did he not come with this episode when Dr. Nkrumah was alive so that he---Nkrumah can be able to defend himself? "The cats are gone and the rats are dancing all over" Let Joshua Attoh give us a break and talk about some thing else. Thanks.
How many would have listen to him like now?
@@badukwame He --Joshua Attoh dear not to "strike the iron while it was hot". Talking about it now has NO effect. One "cant cry over spill milk". Thanks.
My mom in London,76years told me alot about Nkrumah,wicked
As a people they are indeed the SALT AND THUMB of the nation Ghana.
How can you call Ghanaians mad bcos they rejected UGCC? This man is very bitter but Nkrumah is the best thing to have ever happened to Ghana and Africa whether you like it or not.
so sending an opposition party leaders to jail called democracy ?
blazeifire Nkrumah might have his short comings as you pointed out but overall he did so much for the country.
@@nanaquophy747 ther's always two sides to every story so i don't know why u call the man bitter? UGCC started the uprising and Nkrumah won the election so what's so bad about the man telling his side of HISTORY? most Ghanaians know is what Nkrumah did right so what about what did wrong?
blazeifire is it right to call Ghanaians fools for not agreeing with you and supporting Nkrumah? Gas are fools and so on. That is a sign of bitterness. An elderly person like him shouldn’t talk like that.
God bless you Mr. Quarshie
Grandpa, is too much hahaha hahaha
Nkrumah wasn't PM in 1966. Apparently the interview didn't do any research on Nkrumah before this interview or he's just allowing the dude to talk. I read he attended the prestigious Acimota School but this dude said he went to St. Augustine. Well that can be fact checked with registry and pictures.
Nkrumah went to achimota for teacher training
Bitterness can destroy a person, he is telling us Nkrumah is from Ghana, such were the pull him down mentality that the emperialist had no struggle to recruit them for the destruction of Ghana future
Believe it or not the man call kwame nkrumah is not a human. Make no mistake those we gain independent from know Nkrumah made it possible. He is the African of the millinium
