#NKRUMAH
Last week, I got a four-page written document by Professor Francis Kwesi Nkrumah, the first son of the Founder of the Modern Republic of Ghana.
He titled this very revealing article which has never been published ‘The February 1966 Coup”.
It tells the story of special moments in Ghana’s history and reveals the depth of Professor Francis Nkrumah himself.
I have obtained the necessary permissions and will publish this very interesting but short piece in “The Insight” newspaper and on various websites of The Insight and Socialist Movement of Ghana (SMG) by the end of this week.
It will be published under the headline; “Nkrumah’s Son, A Story And Moments In Our History”.

- Jailed corrupt officials regardless of rank.
- Banned ethnic labels completely.
Today, Rwanda is the Singapore of Africa
Here's how Paul did that: 🧵
