From CIA-backed Coup To Contrived ‘Big Six’ In Ghana: David Hundeyin Speaks On Africa’s Missing Consciousness In this clip, taken from The Spearhead Roundtable Episode 7 published on 5 October 2026, CEO David Hundeyin reacts to the furore surrounding Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day, which saw certain descendants of Ghana's so-called "Big Six" complaining that Ghana's first president Kwame Nkrumah allegedly receives more historical credit than he deserves in Ghana, and that their forebears supposedly deserve equal historical footing with him. Hundeyin argues that the existence of a "Big Six" in Ghanaian history is in itself a completely contrived and ahistorical phenomenon that was created to obfuscate the fact that powerful political interest groups in Ghana collaborated with British and U.S. foreign intelligence agencies to commit treason against their own country - a documented fact which they have never faced any sort of national reckoning for. He further argues that unlike in China where the public record is clear and explicit about the historical records of national traitors and their treasonous actions, Ghana and most of Africa have no such historical clarity, and this contributes toward the widespread absence of national consciousness across the continent's already young and fragile states.
