I seem to admire the interviewer much more, he displayed a very high calibre of professionalism, his tone of language, his posture and asking for verification and even the way he urged the old man on for more information was perfect, a born interviewer best at his work. Welldone SAM.
Now about the name Ghana, it wasn’t Danquah who gave us the name. The first person to suggest the name Ghana was Rev. J. B. Anaman in his book, The Gold Coast Guide published in 1895. Next and building on this was Lady Luggard, wife of the infamous Lord Luggard who spearheaded what came to be known as indirect rule. Luggard's book, "A Tropical Dependency" also included the stories of the empires of Mali and Songhai and was used in Achimota in the 1920s. At the time of his death, the legendary James Kwegir Aggrey was working on a major history thesis to establish the historical connection between the people of Gold Coast and not only Ghana empire, but Mali, Songhai, Egypt and Abyssinia. This was not published because he died before he could finish it. Rev. W. T. Balmer who used to teach at Mfantsipim also wrote about this connection to Ghana empire in 1926. These aroused the interest of J. B. Danquah who published his book, Akim-Abuakwa Handbook in 1928, two years after Balmer's book and 33 years after J. B. Anaman first made the suggestion. However Danquah in his book proposed that the territory should be called "AKANLAND" instead of Gold Coast. This drew sharp criticism and he then suggested "AKAN-GA" as a replacement. The newspaper, West Africa, again criticised this saying, "it appears Dr. Danquah's view of nationhood does not extend to the non-Akan population of the Northern Territories". Upon further deliberations, Danquah then suggested "NEW GHANA". Meanwhile in 1948 after the riots and following the arrest of the UGCC leaders, some students and teachers of Mfantsipim and St. Augustine's College embarked on demonstration to demand their release. These students were dismissed and Kwame Nkrumah founded a school for them called GHANA NATIONAL COLLEGE. At independence in 1957 the name GHANA was eventually adopted and to quote Nkrumah, "we take pride in the name, not out of romanticism but as an inspiration for the future". This is how you became a Ghanaian rather than a Gold Coaster.
@@AquilaT2 He is being interviewed because he had been influential in our political history. He is telling it like it is. Is it a crime to disagree with your opponents? What have you also done that we need to listen to? He is plain and tells it as it is. He has sacrificed a lot for Ghana so don't send him to the gallows .
He said Nkrumah went to St.Augustines instead of Achimota. It's very clear that this old man was an opposition to Nkrumah. It's true that Nkrumah never had anyone to support his education that was why he did odd jobs to support his studies.
My dear it's not a bad job for a black man to do such a job.we travel to do dirty job to support our family. And Dr . Kwame Nkrumah knows what he wanted that is why he pomp the toilet to save our Mother land. Although many fight against him but did open all Africans eyes. enlighten them all.
Maybe 45 years. Who at even 70 has such black hair. He has dyed his hair very well. Look at his beard from the patch dyed black as well. Interesting revelation to research though.
Haters will just insult him and discredit what he is saying, because they aren't intellectual enough to calmly entertain opposing knowledge and decipher truth that they don't agree with.
Very interesting, and yes thank you Mr Attah-Mensah. Mr Attoh Quarshie speak a lot for the people who were there. I would however say that I take offence at being called not a real de Graft-Johnson, because of my height. The name "de Graft-Johnson" comes from one man, it is one family and tall or short, we are most definitely all 'real'. Attoh Quarshie presents a unique insight, and he's right in many of the things he said, which can be verified. At the same time he does himself an injustice and portrays a significant lack of balance and courtesy in his presentation of his story. As Ghanaians, we must all be grateful for men like him who gave of themselves to enable a a Ghana to be born.
Who at even 70 has such black hair. He has dyed his hair very well. Look at his beard from the patch dyed black as well. Interesting revelation to research though.

Nkrumah's idea of various government housing in Accra was to repatriate the poor unplanned crowded citizenry along the coast and build a twentieth century Marina but was met with enmity and sabotage, just listen to this man spew venom and hate of Dr Nkrumah.

When they are in Ghana they think all white people are rich, instead of teaching people how to work hard. When you are in Ghana you see how bad Ghana is but outside you see how blessed we are, but don't know how to create and enjoy because many people like our grandpa will not give you a chance.
Oh now I know why Awoula (Anlo) youths followed the winds of politics without weigning the consequences 60 yrs later. They were the one who formed political party to Join K. Nkrumah party Nd the trouble to take Akossombo for electricity started. Hope they are mature today.
Evans I don’t know why u Ghanaians hav that pride Nd love to snob others when u can’t even maintain cleanest of that small country after 60 yrs of independence. Hav U been in Togo before ? Please do. Without JJRAWLINGS U still sleeping in yr trushes. U can’t compare Ghana to Togo in anything so take it easy. Togolese don’t deal with UN, his true elites contact directly Whitehouse with secret direct code. R’u hearing there election, what is happening? True elites take over. Lol !
Evans I don’t think so. Dont only show Accra. Show others regions also in Ghana. A country without toilet, craps hospitals, no allées, the flood unclothe u. We saw everything thks to TH-cam. Togo also would change and soon. So don’t worry.
Evans as for drug, send message to faure Gnassimgbe. He’s the only one that deal drugs but I know, Europa Nd America, Togolese hav reputation than u Ghanaians now on the journey of emancipation.
Evans here again another mentality psychopath Ghanaian who didn’t know anything about my posting or videos on TH-cam. When I said Europa, it was a true name of EUROPE yu all know today. It was the name of black woman that was given to Europe. I know that mentality desable like u can’t figure out. As for Togo or togoland , the most lovely country in the world. Ask yr Ghana boy who posted video about all afrikains countries on TH-cam he’ll school u about Togo or check it out yrsf then compare it to yr Ghana. I knew Ghana very well b’cos the residence I used to live when I was there just behind British Ambassador residential Nd Americain international school at « Cant’ment » not far from post office, Nd live also at Laboney crescent. All those area are for privilege ppls. Though yr Ghana, on the road of emancipation, u still can’t compete with Togolese or Togolanders on national Nd international level. Plse i don’t waist too much time on mentally ill ppls. Do me this favour : erase yrself Nd go and manage Ghanaians human waste to help yr country. Bye.
From his introduction, when the interviewer mentioned he belong to NPP, I knew he will distort history and show open hate for Nkrumah. He showed so much open hate for Nkrumah
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.
All his admissions shows he is of Dubious Character! He is clearly more of a tribal bigotry than Nkrumah.He constantly praised the Ga and Akyem Tribes but we all know Paa Grant the Real instigator is not of these Tribes! Sekondi and Saltpong where all began has nothing to Show for it as we Speak!
Joshua Attoh Quashie has so bitterness for Dr Kwame Nkrumah. Kwame Nkrumah has done so much for Cold Coast ie Ghana this is not the time for u to slam our great leader what are u going to achieve
Who? this dirty foolish old Ga man? what did he does for Ghana? throwing bomb? and lying at age 95? he said Nkrumah did not go to school but check this archives.upenn.edu/exhibits/penn-history/nkrumah
@@obedassuman9199 only uneducated people insult others, He lived through it and he is telling his story, make what you would of it because believe it or not a coin has two sides
@@jgogo4819 Hello man said Nkrumah did not go to school in the USA but check this archives.upenn.edu/exhibits/penn-history/nkrumah if this is not a fool and a liar
Hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha. Grandpa, vex papa. I’m enjoying him whilst he lives. Pple, don’t take him personal wai, let’s soak all the stories.
Inasmuch as there are truth in his stories, a lot was fabricated. We must think critically not just accept something being peddled anyhow. Propaganda machinery exist everywhere in politics. Your youthful exuberance was only exploited in the name of the Truth. Moreover, the detention can bring about this bitterness. Just let it go. Nkrumah had his shortfalls, nonetheless he was a great leader, visionary, patriotic and selfless, a quality worthy of emulation which we lack. As for his PhD issue he couldn't finish, yet he was awarded an honorary doctorate in 61
Folks must not forget Attoh Quarshie's background, his relationship with the notorious "Ga Shifimo Kpee" and the "Tokyo Joes" thugs who joined Nkrumah's Opposition to undermine our Freedom. In fact, he was the leader of the thugs. They became part of the UP/NLM Action Troopers, who were very much like the present day vigilante groups: Invincible Force, Delta Force, Azorka Boys, etc. but only more violent. If folks make the connection, it will explain why Attoh Quarshie would be lying so much about Nkrumah. This man is a big liar! He is only misleading people! His puerile "Toli" does not even deserve this platform for circulation. He, however, looks great for his age. Long Live Ghana!!!
In "Historical Methodology" there's wat we refer to *Basic Fact* (that can be disputed) and wat we term as *Historical Fact* (Undisputed). What Ato Quarshie is doing is just spewing out basic fact that hasn't been tested and proven by historians. Thereof making it mere rhetoric.
This man with all due Respect has abig problem, The Name Nweara and Aweah all are NZEMAz Name,,lack of Knowlege the Enemy perish,and the host Is fuul of Diabolik mind
Attoh Quarshie, said Gyengle Gyewu formed the CYO in his house, and later said Nkrumah deceived Gyengle Gyewu and the other people they formed CYO. contradictions and lies. This man has hated the CPP sins my childhood days till today. Sad.
A lot of bullshit. Before Nkrumah, UGCC was an elite club with no branches beyond Accra and a few towns. It had no programme for organisation or mobilisation and did not even have a bank account. None of the founders were willing to invest in the group or spend time managing it. That's why they brought in Nkrumah, with the promise of paying him 100 pounds a month plus car. They couldn't even pay that and had to settle on 25 pounds. It was Nkrumah who opened branches around the country, forming the Verandah Boys along the way. He got to know the country better than any of the so-called "founders", which explains why he became popular with the youth, who insisted that he should form his own party. This semi-literate fool may have been there but he's clearly biased and bitter. Nkrumah was a full-blooded Ghanaian, from the Asona clan (his father's side) and Anonas from this mother's. And even if his father was a Liberian, so what? Pa Grant's ancestor were from the Ivory Coast. Does that diminish his stature in Gold Coast/Ghanaian politics. It's a shame that the host was so ill-prepared, more interested in the tribes of people than the substantive discussion.
Well said, and thank you for your explanation. The man is very bitter and biased. No matter what he says, The man and the UGCC group members could never take Nkrumah's achievements from him and one can see in the man's false facial expressions of his false stories and false allegations against Nkrumah. Shame on him at that time for the his fake stories information about Ghana and Africa.
😂point of correction pls I'm a descendant of Paa Grants, he is Ghanaian not from ivory coast. 😂Some of our family tree just happens to be in ivory coast. The reason is that There was nothing like ivory coast then, it was all nzema land until the partition of Africa
According to the US immigration and naturalization records his name is actually Francis Nwia! His name is later hyphen to become Francis Nwia-Kofi Nkrumah when he applied for a student visa from London to study in US. Kofi is born on Friday and Kwame is born on Saturday. There is no way a Ghanaian will forget this if indeed he/she was name after the day he was born. This contradict the original document of the US government. This evident alone confirms the account of Attah. Why will an official documents from US and UK be different from his name Kwame Nkrumah! And why did he get rid of his original name Francis Nwia if he was true Ghanaian. I respect his work but the truth is the truth! I truly admire him in all aspect of his life. However, those who came after him do not hold a place in our history!
There is nothing wrong even if he's not Originally Ghanaian, he had Africa At Heart! Just like the Heroes before him like Marcus Mosiah Garvey and others.Their main Focus was Africa unlike this our grandpa who's only interested in Tribes and Chieftancy!
Ghana accept Sulley Muntari wholeheartedly even though he says he's 💯 Only because he played for the Black Stars.Let alone Nkrumah who did and Achieved sooo much for the Nation Ghana! Ghanaians seems to have Short memories!
I believe you're not Akan that's why you don't understand why he has Kofi in his name. Kofi Nwai is the name of his grandfather he was named after. But he was a Saturday born. This is common in the tribes in the western region, esp Ahanta, Nzema etc.... I am a typical example. I was born on Saturday but was named after my grandfather who has Kofi in his name. Thus my school name bears the Kwame in my documents whiles at home, I'm called by my grandfathers name.
Hello I knew that for so long that there beloved Kwami Nkrumah never held any PHD degree. Go to British, America archived. They were all faussaires. Ghana didn’t even know his history. Who Could they challenge these ppls ?
Evans am not obsessed with yr Ghana but am trying to comprehend the way u think Nd organise yrself overthere nd until now I can’t get the answer. Just Waite and see how togoland would be after political turmoil. Bye.
All those who are angry with this man and who thinks he is lying should come out with the story of Kwame Nkrumah from the period this man is talking about and let us all judge I believe him .My late father used to talk about a book written by Jingle. Gyau The success of a man is in his story and there is no success without a successor in life that is why CPP has collapsed NDC will be the next Ps we started with Korea and Singapore etc see where we are and where they are Who is a better leader Ghana youth arise .The future is youts
@@acheampongemmanuel6878Yeah! But you forgot to tell us how long it took Korea,Singerpore and to get to where they are today!!? The Powers that were,were not ready to see the Black Man fully Liberated!
Mr attoh quarshie your story about nkrumah some are not factual. Especially about his birth country. Nkrumah is a pure nzema and a Ghanaian. You're some how bitter about your incarceration. That's why you seem not to say anything good about him. Yes nkrumah did some wrong things but he's the founder of Ghana. Take it easy if you are still alive. I wish you long live
The facts were clear that nkrumah had two of his Masters in the us and another in the uk. In the course of pursuing his PhD he accepted the call to become the general secretary. He indeed struggled to find his way through studies but it didn't mean he never studied. Mr. Attoh, how could he be pursuing his PhD in theology as u said earlier, if he didn't have any qualifications? The ugcc had it's own propaganda machinery as well. Besides, ghanaians are more and more discerning and won't consume just one source of information so please give us a break.
Please , he is just speaking motionally so forgive and forget, because he is just condition to speak that way! Again he didn't understand the word Politics.
I don't know what is wrong with Ghanaians. Nigerians are always Nigerians cameroun Senegal But whole of africa only Ghana is one country that the citizens are from diffrent African countries lol. 😆 now you telling us our one hero nkrumah too is not a Ghanaian 😆 so where did nkrumah learn the fanti from 😆
Mario puzzo, Don't mind this man, their the people that Says NZEMAz are not Ghanaians but they Don't know western region Kings are totally NZEMAz,we Rule Sarei,Tarkwa, Takoradi, Prestea,or Asama,, the Asama comes from the NZEMA's king Annor-Asama Who brought the NZEMA's tò the Land Today called Nzimba Land, the First West Africans Philosopher Wilhelm Amo was an NZEMA man From Akonu Axim,,,,,but these U.P Childrren are the cause of the fallen Gh,,The cause the Fall of Dr.Kwame Nkrumah, Ackah Blay Miezah, Even Annor-chi, the Ashiantes called Annorkye,,, and Dr.Pa Grat all are NZEMAz,,,👁️🌻 The True Founding Fathers were Totally NZEMAz
Weather He Father Grat pa',He taught Nkrumah tò take that political Action,in Axim,He Blessed Dr.Kwame Nkrumah befor he died, them both were NZEMAz So no problem,He paid His Fairfrom UK tò Ghana,I am from Axim i know the History of Our Ancestors
This man speaks like wounded man who does not want to see anything good about someone he hates. The record of Nkrumah's education are there in the instutions where he studied.How can he say Nkrumah did not study and knew nothing....this is an account based on hatred. It has no credibility at all.
We are in the age of enlightenment the youth need to be thought about how Ghana can move forward. Stop hatred you are the part of problem Ghana is facing NKRUMA did his best what did you do for Ghana after you politicians killed NKRUMA. We can only see what NKRUMA DID NOW, IN GHANA. we want to hear about how we can do technology not hatred speech
This old man is just shameles....... stop this disgrace of yourself. You are old, and you suppose to be a source of Wisdom for the young ones after the mistake made in killing Nkrumah....... so so shameless are you.
Joshua Attoh Quashie mind the way u are putting Dr Kwame Nkrumah down in any case u Ga's are foreigners from Nigeria to settle on our shores of Gold coast Ghana so shut yr up
Georgina Brenyah ,what are you talking about? So who are the real Ghanaians since all the inhabitants of this land called Ghana are descendants of Mali empire. And moreover anyone who was born before the independent is a Ghanaian according to the constitution of Ghana irrespective of the person background.
Anthony Affrim,Guan people also migrated from the Mossi region of Burkina Faso and settled in the present day Ghana around AD 1000. They are the first settlers of our beloved country Ghana.
Obed Assuman It’s obvious he’s embittered by his incarceration by Nkrumah hence throwing dirt in him but we are Africans and do not insult our elders no matter how wrong they are.
TAKE YOUR STUPID MIND AND YOUR DISRESPECTFUL attitude off here! If you are educated enough, you will see he is embittered but spews a lot of truths too
@@jgogo4819 This foolish Ga old man is among those who caused the down fall of Ghana. He said he is 95 years old, but telling lies to the youth.

@@pieropiero843 , exactly bro.You have said it perfectly. Bless you more.
When they are in Ghana they think all white people are rich, instead of teaching people how to work hard. When you are in Ghana you see how bad Ghana is but outside you see how blessed we are, but don't know how to create and enjoy because many people like our grandpa will not give you a chance.
Baba please tell us about Arthur Nzeribe
May his soul rest in peace 🙏
Oh now I know why Awoula (Anlo) youths followed the winds of politics without weigning the consequences 60 yrs later. They were the one who formed political party to Join K. Nkrumah party Nd the trouble to take Akossombo for electricity started. Hope they are mature today.
Evans I don’t know why u Ghanaians hav that pride Nd love to snob others when u can’t even maintain cleanest of that small country after 60 yrs of independence. Hav U been in Togo before ? Please do. Without JJRAWLINGS U still sleeping in yr trushes. U can’t compare Ghana to Togo in anything so take it easy.
Togolese don’t deal with UN, his true elites contact directly Whitehouse with secret direct code. R’u hearing there election, what is happening? True elites take over. Lol !
Evans I don’t think so. Dont only show Accra. Show others regions also in Ghana. A country without toilet, craps hospitals, no allées, the flood unclothe u. We saw everything thks to TH-cam. Togo also would change and soon. So don’t worry.
Evans as for drug, send message to faure Gnassimgbe. He’s the only one that deal drugs but I know, Europa Nd America, Togolese hav reputation than u Ghanaians now on the journey of emancipation.
Evans here again another mentality psychopath Ghanaian who didn’t know anything about my posting or videos on TH-cam.
When I said Europa, it was a true name of EUROPE yu all know today. It was the name of black woman that was given to Europe. I know that mentality desable like u can’t figure out.
As for Togo or togoland , the most lovely country in the world. Ask yr Ghana boy who posted video about all afrikains countries on TH-cam he’ll school u about Togo or check it out yrsf then compare it to yr Ghana.
I knew Ghana very well b’cos the residence I used to live when I was there just behind British Ambassador residential Nd Americain international school at « Cant’ment » not far from post office, Nd live also at Laboney crescent. All those area are for privilege ppls.
Though yr Ghana, on the road of emancipation, u still can’t compete with Togolese or Togolanders on national Nd international level.
Plse i don’t waist too much time on mentally ill ppls. Do me this favour : erase yrself Nd go and manage Ghanaians human waste to help yr country. Bye.
From his introduction, when the interviewer mentioned he belong to NPP, I knew he will distort history and show open hate for Nkrumah. He showed so much open hate for Nkrumah
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.
The Always Praise Himself At The Expense Of The Prey!
The Hunter Praise Himself At The Expense Of The Prey!
All his admissions shows he is of Dubious Character! He is clearly more of a tribal bigotry than Nkrumah.He constantly praised the Ga and Akyem Tribes but we all know Paa Grant the Real instigator is not of these Tribes! Sekondi and Saltpong where all began has nothing to Show for it as we Speak!
These are the enemies of Nkrumah who are sinking Ghana with lies, because of these bad nuts Ghana is going backwards for ever
Did Kwame Nkrumah attend Achimota school?
Joshua Attoh Quashie has so bitterness for Dr Kwame Nkrumah. Kwame Nkrumah has done so much for Cold Coast ie Ghana this is not the time for u to slam our great leader what are u going to achieve
Who? this dirty foolish old Ga man? what did he does for Ghana? throwing bomb? and lying at age 95? he said Nkrumah did not go to school but check this archives.upenn.edu/exhibits/penn-history/nkrumah
@@obedassuman9199 only uneducated people insult others, He lived through it and he is telling his story, make what you would of it because believe it or not a coin has two sides
@@jgogo4819 Hello man said Nkrumah did not go to school in the USA but check this archives.upenn.edu/exhibits/penn-history/nkrumah if this is not a fool and a liar
Hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha. Grandpa, vex papa. I’m enjoying him whilst he lives. Pple, don’t take him personal wai, let’s soak all the stories.
Inasmuch as there are truth in his stories, a lot was fabricated. We must think critically not just accept something being peddled anyhow. Propaganda machinery exist everywhere in politics. Your youthful exuberance was only exploited in the name of the Truth. Moreover, the detention can bring about this bitterness. Just let it go. Nkrumah had his shortfalls, nonetheless he was a great leader, visionary, patriotic and selfless, a quality worthy of emulation which we lack. As for his PhD issue he couldn't finish, yet he was awarded an honorary doctorate in 61
Dr Kwame Nkrumah didn't wake up one day and just started putting people in Jail but only after the Evil Bombings On His Life!
really great
Don't believe they're crazy hype ♥️💚💛
Folks must not forget Attoh Quarshie's background, his relationship with the notorious "Ga Shifimo Kpee" and the "Tokyo Joes" thugs who joined Nkrumah's Opposition to undermine our Freedom. In fact, he was the leader of the thugs. They became part of the UP/NLM Action Troopers, who were very much like the present day vigilante groups: Invincible Force, Delta Force, Azorka Boys, etc. but only more violent.
If folks make the connection, it will explain why Attoh Quarshie would be lying so much about Nkrumah.
This man is a big liar! He is only misleading people! His puerile "Toli" does not even deserve this platform for circulation. He, however, looks great for his age.
Long Live Ghana!!!
Stop the tribalism it will help you
The Man talk the truth don't insult him
Well said.
@@jacobabranteejacob8178 Distorted truths. Exaggerated and without factual evidence/documents, personal views without any backup.
He is not sure of his age.
Amazing state man. God has indeed bless you.
I like this his statement about the youth. Hahaha
He is just a political apostle
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
In "Historical Methodology" there's wat we refer to *Basic Fact* (that can be disputed) and wat we term as *Historical Fact* (Undisputed). What Ato Quarshie is doing is just spewing out basic fact that hasn't been tested and proven by historians. Thereof making it mere rhetoric.
This man with all due Respect has abig problem, The Name Nweara and Aweah all are NZEMAz Name,,lack of Knowlege the Enemy perish,and the host Is fuul of Diabolik mind
@@samuelblay9616Yeah!He never gave due to the Nzimas and Fantses where Respect and Honour is Due!He was all about the Gas and the Akyems.
Attoh Quarshie, said Gyengle Gyewu formed the CYO in his house, and later said Nkrumah deceived Gyengle Gyewu and the other people they formed CYO. contradictions and lies. This man has hated the CPP sins my childhood days till today. Sad.
We now know who are the Adversaries of Ghana's Prosperities!
For example Pro. Oluwule from ghana is a of an Yoruba descendant.
A lot of bullshit. Before Nkrumah, UGCC was an elite club with no branches beyond Accra and a few towns. It had no programme for organisation or mobilisation and did not even have a bank account.
None of the founders were willing to invest in the group or spend time managing it. That's why they brought in Nkrumah, with the promise of paying him 100 pounds a month plus car. They couldn't even pay that and had to settle on 25 pounds.
It was Nkrumah who opened branches around the country, forming the Verandah Boys along the way. He got to know the country better than any of the so-called "founders", which explains why he became popular with the youth, who insisted that he should form his own party.
This semi-literate fool may have been there but he's clearly biased and bitter.
Nkrumah was a full-blooded Ghanaian, from the Asona clan (his father's side) and Anonas from this mother's.
And even if his father was a Liberian, so what? Pa Grant's ancestor were from the Ivory Coast. Does that diminish his stature in Gold Coast/Ghanaian politics. It's a shame that the host was so ill-prepared, more interested in the tribes of people than the substantive discussion.
Well said, and thank you for your explanation. The man is very bitter and biased. No matter what he says, The man and the UGCC group members could never take Nkrumah's achievements from him and one can see in the man's false facial expressions of his false stories and false allegations against Nkrumah. Shame on him at that time for the his fake stories information about Ghana and Africa.
😂point of correction pls I'm a descendant of Paa Grants, he is Ghanaian not from ivory coast. 😂Some of our family tree just happens to be in ivory coast. The reason is that There was nothing like ivory coast then, it was all nzema land until the partition of Africa
According to the US immigration and naturalization records his name is actually Francis Nwia! His name is later hyphen to become Francis Nwia-Kofi Nkrumah when he applied for a student visa from London to study in US. Kofi is born on Friday and Kwame is born on Saturday. There is no way a Ghanaian will forget this if indeed he/she was name after the day he was born. This contradict the original document of the US government. This evident alone confirms the account of Attah. Why will an official documents from US and UK be different from his name Kwame Nkrumah! And why did he get rid of his original name Francis Nwia if he was true Ghanaian. I respect his work but the truth is the truth! I truly admire him in all aspect of his life. However, those who came after him do not hold a place in our history!
There is nothing wrong even if he's not Originally Ghanaian, he had Africa At Heart! Just like the Heroes before him like Marcus Mosiah Garvey and others.Their main Focus was Africa unlike this our grandpa who's only interested in Tribes and Chieftancy!
Ghana accept Sulley Muntari wholeheartedly even though he says he's 💯 Only because he played for the Black Stars.Let alone Nkrumah who did and Achieved sooo much for the Nation Ghana! Ghanaians seems to have Short memories!
Nigerian l meant about Sulley Muntari
I believe you're not Akan that's why you don't understand why he has Kofi in his name. Kofi Nwai is the name of his grandfather he was named after. But he was a Saturday born. This is common in the tribes in the western region, esp Ahanta, Nzema etc....
I am a typical example. I was born on Saturday but was named after my grandfather who has Kofi in his name. Thus my school name bears the Kwame in my documents whiles at home, I'm called by my grandfathers name.
Hello I knew that for so long that there beloved Kwami Nkrumah never held any PHD degree. Go to British, America archived. They were all faussaires. Ghana didn’t even know his history. Who Could they challenge these ppls ?
Evans am not obsessed with yr Ghana but am trying to comprehend the way u think Nd organise yrself overthere nd until now I can’t get the answer. Just Waite and see how togoland would be after political turmoil. Bye.
That is politics is a dirty game
All those who are angry with this man and who thinks he is lying should come out with the story of Kwame Nkrumah from the period this man is talking about and let us all judge I believe him .My late father used to talk about a book written by Jingle. Gyau The success of a man is in his story and there is no success without a successor in life that is why CPP has collapsed NDC will be the next Ps we started with Korea and Singapore etc see where we are and where they are Who is a better leader Ghana youth arise .The future is youts
@@acheampongemmanuel6878Yeah! But you forgot to tell us how long it took Korea,Singerpore and to get to where they are today!!? The Powers that were,were not ready to see the Black Man fully Liberated!
Mr attoh quarshie your story about nkrumah some are not factual. Especially about his birth country. Nkrumah is a pure nzema and a Ghanaian. You're some how bitter about your incarceration. That's why you seem not to say anything good about him. Yes nkrumah did some wrong things but he's the founder of Ghana. Take it easy if you are still alive. I wish you long live
The facts were clear that nkrumah had two of his Masters in the us and another in the uk. In the course of pursuing his PhD he accepted the call to become the general secretary. He indeed struggled to find his way through studies but it didn't mean he never studied. Mr. Attoh, how could he be pursuing his PhD in theology as u said earlier, if he didn't have any qualifications? The ugcc had it's own propaganda machinery as well. Besides, ghanaians are more and more discerning and won't consume just one source of information so please give us a break.
A lot of it is not factual but his birth country is truth. He originates from the Kru tribe in Liberia & the Kru people talk about this all the time.
This man is full of hate and jealousy for Dr Kwame Nkrumah. Shame to him, you can't rewrite history
53:00 😂😂
Please , he is just speaking motionally so forgive and forget, because he is just condition to speak that way! Again he didn't understand the word Politics.
He is just condition to speak Politics because he didn't understand the word politics, so forgive and forget.
We can forgive but not Forget!
I don't know what is wrong with Ghanaians. Nigerians are always Nigerians cameroun Senegal But whole of africa only Ghana is one country that the citizens are from diffrent African countries lol. 😆 now you telling us our one hero nkrumah too is not a Ghanaian 😆 so where did nkrumah learn the fanti from 😆
Mario puzzo, Don't mind this man, their the people that Says NZEMAz are not Ghanaians but they Don't know western region Kings are totally NZEMAz,we Rule Sarei,Tarkwa, Takoradi, Prestea,or Asama,, the Asama comes from the NZEMA's king Annor-Asama Who brought the NZEMA's tò the Land Today called Nzimba Land, the First West Africans Philosopher Wilhelm Amo was an NZEMA man From Akonu Axim,,,,,but these U.P Childrren are the cause of the fallen Gh,,The cause the Fall of Dr.Kwame Nkrumah, Ackah Blay Miezah, Even Annor-chi, the Ashiantes called Annorkye,,, and Dr.Pa Grat all are NZEMAz,,,👁️🌻 The True Founding Fathers were Totally NZEMAz

You Again ? Tell a lie once and all your truth become questionable. You can’t constantly lie and expect people to trust you. Long live Nkrumah !!
Masa gyae ,de3 na wonim, instead of you to keep quiet and listen to the man ,.look at what you are saying. Keep quiet mtwweeee.
@@aroundtheworld8918we all know what Kuffour said about Nkrumah and he Kuffour celebrated this man so we know which gutter Camp he belongs!
Nice man. Doesn't look like 95..haha. I wonder why he hates Nkrumah soo much? 🤔
This man speaks like wounded man who does not want to see anything good about someone he hates. The record of Nkrumah's education are there in the instutions where he studied.How can he say Nkrumah did not study and knew nothing....this is an account based on hatred. It has no credibility at all.
His looks are far from his age. See his hair!
@Jimmy Otoo Is it not he who has hair that talks of dye? I'm talking of the hair, not it's color.
We are in the age of enlightenment the youth need to be thought about how Ghana can move forward. Stop hatred you are the part of problem Ghana is facing NKRUMA did his best what did you do for Ghana after you politicians killed NKRUMA. We can only see what NKRUMA DID NOW, IN GHANA. we want to hear about how we can do technology not hatred speech
Now I know that Nkrumah is tribalistic.He is in gehena.bye bye.
This old man is just shameles....... stop this disgrace of yourself. You are old, and you suppose to be a source of Wisdom for the young ones after the mistake made in killing Nkrumah....... so so shameless are you.
Joshua Attoh Quashie mind the way u are putting Dr Kwame Nkrumah down in any case u Ga's are foreigners from Nigeria to settle on our shores of Gold coast Ghana so shut yr up
U see , here comes tribalism
Georgina Brenyah ,what are you talking about?
So who are the real Ghanaians since all the inhabitants of this land called Ghana are descendants of Mali empire.
And moreover anyone who was born before the independent is a Ghanaian according to the constitution of Ghana irrespective of the person background.
@@takyidarko7533 ha ha ha please leave the guans out wae. we have always lived on this land. But all the same i hate tribalism too
Anthony Affrim,Guan people also migrated from the Mossi region of Burkina Faso and settled in the present day Ghana around AD 1000. They are the first settlers of our beloved country Ghana.
@@takyidarko7533So why Nkrumah couldn't be a Ghanaian!?

It’s obvious he’s embittered by his incarceration by Nkrumah hence throwing dirt in him but we are Africans and do not insult our elders no matter how wrong they are.

J gogo 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Dont believe the 95
He looks roughly less than 70yrs
He said they started schooling in 1936, meaning he was ten years old before starting the school. So, 95 makes sense.
You said, he was cleaning toilet and did not go to school, but you want him to write about somebody, Ga old fool

How was he accepted for PhD in theology if he only cleaned toilets without studying?
Or can PhD in theology be pursued with wassce?
