Kobina Mensah 🇬🇭 VirNion

Personally, I believe one person cannot be the sole founder of a country. Just as it is with many countries, Ghana was founded by the collective effort of several individuals and groups. But just as it is with other countries also, there’s always that one person destined to lead the charge at that watershed moment. In Ghana’s case, Nkrumah led the charge. There’s enough deep-rooted and unmistakable documentary evidence to support this view. The debate has lingered for over half a century but the facts remain unshaken. No amount of spin has changed and would change that. Biblically, several Israel leaders had fought enslavement even before Moses was born. But it is Moses who is indubitably known to have led them out of Egypt. In the 40 years in the wilderness, I suppose he wasn’t the only one in command but he led it, and he hold the recognition. Doesn’t make the others contribution immaterial. These things I believe, are destined. Mandela is variously referred to as Madiba (Father) of South Africa not because he’s the only that fought and liberated South Africa from apartheid. Some others were imprisoned longer than he was. Destiny said he’d be the one. Same for Lee Kuan Yew, Julius Nyerere, Jomo Kenyatta, Kaunda etc for modern day Singapore, Tanzania, Kenya and Zambia respectively. Nkrumah is ours. There’s no contest for equal equal recognition. God bless the toil of all our forefathers and make our nation great and strong.
