Why do we still have Kotoka’s name on The International Airport?
The downfall of of Ghana is the media not exposing the government of their selfishness.
To be fair, when the National Liberation Council ousted Nkrumah and sold our country, they didnt allow free speech. Even today, with our democracy, threats and attacks are being made on people like Anas for trying to expose corruption
Very true
Aw Ghana!!! ? How did we end up with these thieves as leaders after Dr. Nkrumah until now ?
JJ rawling sold them to wife, families and friends
The whole problem was the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah. It is the same party in power now that planned the overthrow with America people. And now see the problem we are in. Kwame Nkrumah built many factories all over the country. He built secondary schools, universities, roads, akosombo dam, Tema city, Tema harbor, motorway but still he was overthrown and we were lied to that he was mismanaging the country. Kwame Nkrumah did not have even a hut anywhere in the country when he was overthrown but look at the present politicians, even one term in parliament and he or she will own a fleet of V8 cars. We need leaders in Ghana and not politicians like what we have now. We need another revolution in Ghana to straighten things up. We need another Kwame Nkrumah or another JJ Rawlings....
JJ Rawlings indeed
Please we need another Nkrumah NOT JJ Rawlings. I believe Nana Kwame Bediako is another Nkrumah. He Upholds the Vision of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah with a Passion
Ghana our main curse is sustainability and management of our resources and companies. Every manager comes with only one agenda thus himself or herself and close families. Wickedness and greed.
As Jamaican, raised in Georgetown Washington DC. The name Kotoka airport should change to Pan African founder The Great Kwame Nkrumah Nkrumah, why? Because, that man called Kotoka was a bad man, He is Ghana's downfall.
“Lieutenant-General Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka Born (26 September 1926 - 17 April 1967) was a Ghanaian military officer who was a member of the ruling National Liberation Council which came to power in Ghana in a military coup d'état on 24 February 1966.
This overthrew the government of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of the republic.”
You can say that again, at times I don’t know what’s wrong with we Ghanaians .
It starts with making sure we can control our politicians and they have no godfathers
“How Europe Underdeveloped Africa”
is a 1972 book written by Walter Rodney that describes how Africa was deliberately exploited and underdeveloped by European colonial regimes.
One of his main arguments throughout the book is that Africa developed Europe at the same rate that Europe underdeveloped Africa.
Tv3 Gtv Utv joy news this things should be your agenda to help awaken the Ghanaian citizens to help make sensible choices when it’s time for elections.
TV3 was a handiwork of Nkrumah sold to politicians by politicians ! Do your research!
Blame our under development and poverty on these selfish incompetent "mati mi hu" party. They have the steering wheel now but they lack knowledge, and only looting for self aggrandisement.
See how Afrifa and Kotoka and co ruined Ghana's future.Our problems are self inflicted.Bring back Nkrumah and his ideals.
Kotoka has done more harm in Ghana than we can ever imagine of
Waa see! A factory like this should have even expanded into producing other stationery, and not just pencils. STC should even be running at least a domestic airline by now. How is it that companies like Coca Cola, KFC, IKEA, and many many other international brands are still surviving after centuries. For us, even domestic ones in our relatively small Ghana we can't manage. Why must everything in Ghana lose relevance and expire. I don't need any NDC or NPP comment here. As far as I'm concerned, these 2 parties are the same. They come to power, first 2 years they deceive us with one or two projects and then the rest is rubbish. We need to wise up. I'm sorry, but there's no other way to say this: We are just stupid, no exceptions, including myself.
The cause of all Ghana’s woes is the unpatriotic and wicked leaders Ghana has had after Osagyefo. How can leave a factory that can employ Ghanaians and reduce your dependence on foreign imports to rot while your people suffer? It is a real tragedy.
KFC, Coca Cola and the rest are private owned business organizations, which are capitalist oriented model. What brought about the collapse of USSR and socialism/communism? Why did China embrace the market system to become the super power it is today? The collapse of factories built by Nkrumah is attributable to the fundamental flaws of socialism. Hence, with or without the overthrow of Nkrumah those factories were not going to be sustainably efficient in the long run. In my personal opinion, this is where NPP would always have the edge over the NDC, cos by their traditions or ideologies NDC can never champion industrialization the way NPP would do. The 1D1F is a laudable policy that if there could be bipartisan support with all the necessary incentives, not only would Ghana become the industrial hub of West Africa, but would rather encourage more private investors commit their resources to grow the economy of Ghana.
@@geoffreyosuji6166 it has been 7 years of NPP with their 1-district, 1-factory. What has been results so far? How many factories are thriving and reducing Ghana’s imports?
Also, there was the 8 years of Kuffour. How did that help Ghana industrialise?
And, those who overthrew Nkrumah claimed to be capitalists and champions of private enterprise. How come their capitalism could not run those factories efficiently even after privatisation?
@@talkingAfricaAnd there was how many years of PNDC/NDC.? And how did that help the industries.? You guys think about your political parties first before Ghana and that's Ghana's problem. Most of you guys are more corrupt in your private dealings than those greedy politicians.
@kojoboahen1031 please, do not attack me baselessly. My reply was in response to claims made. I do not have an interest in picking sides between two parties(NPP & NDC) who have taken turns to run Ghana into a ditch after 32 years.
Both parties and their forebears have been the ones who have systematically dismantled Ghana’s industrial base to the great detriment of Ghanaians.
Both NPP & NDC are enemies of the people of Ghana.
We haven't been in any university or holding a degree, diploma, master or being in any law school but if Ghana is handed over to only 5 people of youths i will not even say 10, people or 20 people only 5 people we can make Ghana a better Ghana we have a lot of youth ls out there who has the brain to build Ghana but everyday NPP and NDC, NPP and NDC politics this two part use Ghana youths future to do politics,when ever i see Dr kwame Nkrumah factory's that has been left over in the bush my heart start beat hard look at unemployment rate in Ghana but all this factory's are there that can employ a lot of Ghanian people because of corruption NDC will come to power they will use Ghana money to do different things that will favor themselves the same as NPP instead of reconstruction reassemble the factory that Dr kwame Nkrumah build for us to get work, you will rather use it to buy cars building mansions wow, Ghanaian people let wake up and ring the bell 🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔 ....
Let's wake up. I think we should vote for Nana Kwame Bediako. Let's not think we are going to waste our votes. Every journey of a mile begins with a step. At least even if he doesn't win, it'll be a sign for our leaders to know that Ghanaian Youth have started Wising Up. And they may start doing things right
Yes Asante people still follow NPP, such ungrateful people
Go to tema and see the silos kwame Nkrumah built to store cocoa, hundreds of jobs created by this man are in ruining and none of this leaders have been able to restore not even one
I pray to God that one day I will buy all the factories to can do something for Ghana
Amen
Ghana is under curse for the overthrow of Dr. Nkrumah.
The US is the one who overthrew him with the help of sellouts within!
Hhhmmm
The overthrow is part of the curse
Who were the brain behind the cruel behind the elimination of Nkrumah
TV3 you're part of our current hardships
Remember your ELECTIONS 2O16 COVERAGE
FORWARD we move
And NPP is going round making noise about one district one factory
Not only NPP is both NPP and NDC
For your information your own ndc/pndc collapsed most of these industries. Learn your history and stop talking rubbish.
@@EbenezerAtiemo-ie5btI was about to make similar comment. After all NDC is Nkrumaist. If PNDC collapsed the factories, why did the NDC not revamp them?
Those who course all this r in power today now everyone know their intentions now
Ghana Our Beloved Country has never been free forever waste total waste of leadership
Because they overthrow him that’s why
I think one major problem we have can be attributed to our media. They need to hammer these kinds of topics every day. They need to expose all the corrupt politicians everyday so Ghanaians do not forget. Unfortunately, these sad things perpetrated by our corrupt and greedy politicians are said once and forgotten. No wonder Mahama said Ghanaians have short memories 😂😂
Sometimes, our Greatest Leaders perished because of the Lack of support from their own People. Kwame Nkrumah went through a similar situation, as did Marcus Garvey. I pray that our OWN People just get straight with our Global Unity and build from Grassroots. I don't trust ECOWAS or the AU. I just hope that our Leaders would put their People FIRST so we can build INDEPENDENCE from NEO COLONIALISM
Most of the factories Nkrumah built was in Ashanti region
Lots of them were in western region.
But those places could be converted into some thing else
Yes they can but Ghanaian leaders clearly do not care
So why has not anyone been able to revived any of the things Nkrumah did
“How Europe underdeveloped Africa” A book written by Dr Walter Rodney!
They are only interested in stealing and no foresight.
Where are the PHD holders? 😂
They're all sleeping
Herrr this shows Rural Urban Migration shouldnt even happen because there were factories everywhere
*So is there any way forward??*
*CAN SOME OF THE FACTORIES BE BROUGHT BACK????*
*What can we do to change the narrative now.*
*THERE'S THE NEED FOR MORE POLICY DISCUSSION ON THIS SUBJECT.*
😢
Yes, many of the factories can be revived. In fact, the current government in Ghana appeared to be interested in reviving the Abosso Glass Factory and the Bonsa Tyre Factory. The President announced that a feasibility study was being done back in 2017 and GIHOC later claimed to have taken over the Bonsa factory but nothing appears to have come out of it.
@@talkingAfrica Thank you
@@lindaesmerada you’re welcome 🙏🏿
If u dont believe the vision of dr.kwame nkrumah then is just like u not believing in ursllf,then u tripping cos is the way and the only way
💯
The main curse in Ghana is the fact that they overthrew a leader that came from God when you do that you have to suffer and when you are aware of it, your suffering won’t be long. Blessings to all of the motherland.❤😅
But I thought they said he never developed Ashanti. Anaa?
The media belongs to them I called the politicians not leaders
Sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most of the factories Nkrumah built was in Ashanti region
But still they always talk bad about him including the chiefs in Kumasi, hhhmm do you know why … because OSAGYFOU Dr Kwame Nkrumah is not an Ashanti man. Tribalism people hhhmm
Down with Kotoka !
My name Dr Francis kwame Nkrumah
Sad
Whipping
SAD SO VERY SAD
Ghana 🇬🇭 Union government address teacher's grievances by increasing the lower rank salary to ghc 2,456 with 5% income tax and 95% take home pay no vat and monthly bonus on the civil servant pay slips president Henry Yaw owusu Addo YDP
Until Africans insist that the AU or similar organisation the population's struggle will persist. Politicians cannot and should not be allowed to continue in that headless, fragmented unruly system with little or no management or regulator to ensure that there is continuity and the interest of the country its inhabitants are placed before all else including their personal gains.
Npp and some of the ashanti's are the problem of Ghana
Thanks all are the hatred of Ashanti's
Unfortunately you cannot survive without the Ashantis, whether you accept it or not.
the reporter does he know what 2kilometers is
Oh my brother , you know everything?
Please allow
If you know then go take your camera a report aswel, at least people who didn't know about something like this will now know.
Hey did you know who killed that factory in KUMASI is ndc party they destroy Ashanti Region since 19 82 go back to the history of Ghana
When was the NDC formed?
The people who overthrew Nkrumah regime were the people who destroyed the factories.
@@felixotoo8498 just go back to the history of Ghana is ndc party and jj and his friends destroy Ashanti Region since 19 82 what they did to Asantes shameful
Don't mind Them, they were happy when J J Rawlings was destroying those industries in Kumasi, but what they forgot realized was that it would come back to hurt all of them.
@@agoogo5026 and how many years did and have npp too,and what did they do to that destroyed factories and aside that kuffour coming from Ashanti region what did he do too?bro be smart they are all anti nkrumaist to destroy our future same thing JJ sold all of ships on the takoradi port so u see now kuffour sold Ghana telecommunications a whole communication network for the country which today could have employed huge mass of the populace
NDC sold all the factories😅
It's a lie.
The coup makers of 24th February 1966 were the cause of our woes.
That's not true. It was Progress Party now NPP that killed all the factories. Know your history.
These factories were bound to collapse right from the beginning. The role of a government is not to open factories, but rather infrastructures and superstructures. Once these are in place, then the private sector will invest money into factories and create jobs. Even in the old Soviet Union where they used to have one party government, they still faced with lots of problems with the idea of socialism. How much more a country like Ghana which was a democracy and the attitude of the citizens towards government. It’s like building a castle and leaving it to alcoholic children? What do you think will happen.
The mind of the people should have been educated first, followed by infrastructure and superstructures, then if the government want to go into factories, it comes next. Build the infrastructure and superstructures, the investment will follow.
There was hardly any "private sector" back then. They were mostly traders and merchants. Some of the Chinese factories that build our roads are state-owned.
1. The role of government is not to open factories. According to who?
2. Everybody knows that Kwame Nkrumah built all kinds of necessary infrastructure across the country. Schools, hospitals, roads, housing, bridges, Harbor and the Akosombo dam. So, that cannot be a point because it was done.
3. The over 100 factories were sold to private sector by the NLC in 1966 and then by JJ Rawlings in the early 90s. What has been the result of that since you claim private sector is best at managing factories?
Government after government have been touting private sector. Where is the benefit of that since 1992? Where are the thriving factories owned and run by the private sector?
It is baseless to say government should not own or run factories. Under Nkrumah, those factories were operating satisfactorily. They were abandoned and sold off by traitors on the orders of their western masters who opposed the industrialisation of Ghana.
That is the fundamental issue. That Ghana cannot be allowed to industrialise and sadly, they have had sellout Ghanaian leaders who had no problems collapsing these factories even as thousands of Ghanaians became employed and poor as a result
@@z.t.8950At a point they should have been revamped and privatized.
@@z.t.8950 God bless you, my brother. I was coming to take him on, which you have done. Years ago, Kwame Pianim delivered a lecture at the British Council. During question time, I got up and asked him: Kwame Nkrumah said colonialism had prevented our people from building private wealth which would have supported industrialisation. As such, it was left to the state, which had the means, to initiate the process of industrialisation. Please Sir, 50 years down the line, do you think the indigenous private sector has the capital to lead our industrialisation? Ooh boy, my brother, it was as if I had poked the man's anti-Nkrumah wound. Instead of responding to this poignant question, the man rather descended on Kwame Nkrumah and flayed him like there was no tomorrow. At the end of the event, when we were filing out of the hall, Mr. Pianim said this to me: hey, young man, stop those Nkrumah things." Those around could not help themselves with laughter.
This incident remains one of my saddest moments in life. It's sad, how we did not only allow the west to enslave us physically but mentally too. Our biggest problem today is that we have become slaves to Western ideology. We're teaching our kids in uni that protectionism is bad, farmers subsidy is bad; unbridled market liberalisation is good, unchecked competition is good, free, lopsided trade is good, and on and on. Then we say we don't get why our currency is never stable. Funny enough, the West does all of these things it advises us against.
When they say the state has no business doing business, they stu-pdl-y forget that the private sector needs capital to build industries. They forget that even the west started with massive govt funding of not just infrastructure but corporations. It's sad.
Look at China today. Aren't private entrepreneurs emerging out of the massive industrialisation drive by the state? It's natural. If Nkrumah's factories had remained, people who worked there would acquire skills and those who are able to build or raise capital would set up their own match, glass, or plastic manufactures.
I always use Kumasi, which is the hub of locally made shoes/sandals as an example. Have any of these anti-state business people ever asked why Kumasi is popular for shoes? That is the trickle down effect of Nkrumah's shoe factory over there, if they don't know. Tcheeew🙄
Stop allowing them to fool you with the capitalism vs socialism/communism argument. These ideologies are not cast in stone. The facts of history are my witnesses.
