Nkrumah will never due. He was simply the best
He is the FOUNDER, and will forever be remembered him as such. God bless his soul
This is so beautiful.
A country where everyone can speak their mind even siblings 😂😂
😅
Absolutely, democracy is beautiful. The freedom to speak one's mind, to choose our leaders, to be who we want to be, a system in which no one is afraid to say what they think. It may not be the best, and there's a lot of room for improvement, but it's better than anything else I can see. I wouldn't want to live in any other system!
@kumho1321 cheers bro
Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkruma Never Dies! Osagyefo For Ever!
Hmmm! I like the argument between the kids; Sekou & Samia. Samia is always going to be on the father's side. Sekou on the other hand is telling it as he understood. Sekou is a character in totality. He says what he thinks, not being worried any rebutal from the sister.
I always love Sekou , he speaks facts without emotions.
Great guy .
I could listen to these two all day!! So refreshing..and such an eloquent presenter...so wholesome @
Truly, truly Nkrumah never dies
I wonder how they fell for their father to be such a great person in Africa and Ghana
Nkrumah's books, speeches and writings need to be propagated throughout second cycle institutions and the universities. Courses and programs needs to be introduce around what the man believe to be the way to develop as a nation and a continent. Every Ghanaian student needs to read a book written by Nkrumah or geneuinely written about him, our knowledge of the man and his ideas should not be of what todays politicians who are deep in the pockets of the west and of their own narrow visions would wants us to believe about Nkrumah. Every book at the museleum should be reproduced to become part of every school and public libraries across the country. It was said that the western powers with the US leading the pack supervised the burning of some of his books and writing after his overthrow with the intention of wiping out the man, BUT NKRUMAH NEVER DIES. This tells us how powerful Nkrumah's ideas were.
I love Samia's stands. She has read alot, very firm and convince of her conviction. Kudos, Much Respect.
The man is rather saying the truth and reality. But you guys have made your mind already. That Nkrumah ideology was bad then to make one party system.
…when Nkrumah wanted to build Akosombo dam - the opposition opposed him greatly. He made a model of the fam and presented it across the country to convince Ghanaians. And today this very Akosombo Dam is what is saving us now in addition to other dams.
Nkrumah is the founder and that is it.
As long as you have made your mind on that, there is nothing you will accept whether it's true or not. The fact is that Nkrumah wasn't the only founder. He even came to meet some people who started fighting for our independence.
@@patrickasante6991let them lie u. As far as I know , none was there when he announced the total independence of the country, ushered Ghana into a Republic, he was strict, had respect for law and was more a people man unlike the arrogant UGCC members who liked to lie the masses and steal money.
Samia, well done, your father truly lives in you. Your brother read only the negative books about his father, I feel sad
No doubt!! That's what they intended to produce when they decided to ban and burn all Nkrumah's books. He read the negative stuff, got affected and formed by that gravely before reading his works after his books started resurfacing.
I love this interview! Siblings being siblings on live TV! 😅
Very healthy and objective discourse. A lot of respect for the siblings.
We didn't see much from SAMIA when she went to parliament...quiet disappointed
Beautiful children
This is beautiful, Nkrumah 's children seems not to agree with their father's legacy. Freedom of speech and ideas ❤
Great conversation we disagree to agree, and develop mother Ghana and Africa
Beautiful engagement by the children of the great man, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
I can imagine them at home debating.. I see me and my sisters.
The redeveloped memorial is beautiful and commendable. I think at the beginning of his administration, Akuffo Addo wanted to downplay Nkrumah’s contribution to the birth and independence of Ghana. Once he took office and started moving around the planet, he quickly realized that outside Ghana, Nkrumah is revered and venerated. It is humbling to go to the Kremlin, Cuba, USA, England , France etc., etc, only to learn that even his enemies admired his intellectual brilliance and visionary insight.
On his one party state, (1) All the freedom fighters who became leaders of their countries chose and instituted one party states. Personally, I think it was necessary. Our resources, Human Resources and political awareness and political savvy, was very, very limited. The United States, for all its brutal criticism and sabotage of African independence, accusing leaders like Nkrumah as dictators, defined their democracy as the voice of white men, land owners and educated. Ask yourself, how many Americans fell into this voting group 250 years ago? What kind of democracy was that?
Can you imagine what Ghana and Afrika would be like today if Kwame Nkrumah had not been toppled and had been able to deliver on his vision ?
What vision are you talking of? That vision of hypocrisy and killing those who brought him back home to be president, given free education to someone children and others not, country can never develop if most of the citizens a not well educated.
I love the children of our great Nkrumah. He knew his stuff and wanted the best for all, irrespective of tribe. Bless you, children, for proving you know your father. Sad we lost him so early
I love this interview. And the way they all have different ideas. I can listen to them all day.
Their father is a great man
I love this. Sibling debate is right on point. Samia is correct in saying that he invited others to the table in order to go forward with development. Kudos to Samia and Sekou
Very Interesting Conversation ❤
I think Samia is more intelligent, eloquent, and a peaceful fellow, Sakou is great and same time has a bit of his own ideology for what his father stood for.
He was being objective.
Nkrumah never dies never dies never dies.
Nkrumah never dies lives forever more forever more.
Young Pionners are coming will give them way yaaaa Oyaaa Oyaa. Yaa Oya.
Arise arise Pionners be honest and don't be lazy we are famous Young Pionners we serve Ghana now.
THAT IS WHY WE CALL MOTHER LAND AND YOUR DAD IS STILL LISTEN TO YOU MAAME..I LOVE THAT 💘 💗 ♥ 💓..ONLY A WOMEN BRING GHANA BACK 🇬🇭 ..
This is what we want every Ghanaian to do, just have independent mind devoid of tribal and familial associations.
🙏🏽"Sɛ Fatia fata Nkrumah de a, ɛneɛ na Samia sɛ Nkrumah". (If Fatia befits Nkrumah, then Samia resembles Nkrumah). Well done, Samia. Kudos bravo, your father, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, would be super proud of you.
Excellent, worthy, valuable points put across to educate and inform the political historical perspective(s) of what Nkrumah stood for and who he was. Once again well done, Samia Nkrumah.✅ 🤝👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Sekou's stance is largely clouded and clichéd. He should study or learn well to be informed well, not influenced blindly by the Western acrimonious, antagonistic and hypocritical address or stereotyping/categorising of Nkrumah as a "dictator".
How would a Western defined so-called "dictator" state that, "the independence of Ghana (his country), would be meaningless UNLESS it is linked up with the total liberation of Africa"??
These, among many other such statements, are not the words of a Western defined so-called dictator. A man who wanted all on board, for the good of all, and considered all to be part of the process to attain a common goal of good Ghana, for Africa, for mankind, is not my idea nor definition of a "dictator", except only to the West.
If the West can't "boss, bully and bash" you around as their puppet, and you stand up to challenge and change the status quo, then they label you as a "dictator" from their own angular, subjective, rather than objective perspective(s).
Nkrumah, like any other mortal being, may have had his little faults, but his ideologies for progress and development are near-perfect and almost matchless, and as for his legacy, the least compared the better.
No one comes close, and those who unfortunately think of it to make comparisons are dwarfed and "midgetted" by his "Colossus/Colossal" and Conspicuous achievements, both at home (nationally) and abroad (internationally) even at the early or young age of 62years when he passed away (died), having been putsched from office, as President of the Republic of Ghana, in a coup d'etat (February 1966) 6yrs earlier before his death (April 1972).
"Surely, the torch touches all to burn brightly and beautifully to glory." (Seth's quote). Forward ever, backwards never. TRULY, "NKRUMAH NEVER DIES." 🙏🏽Seth_KBD
It's really funny, when Ghanaians pretend we love Dr Kwame Nkrumah, while we know deep inside us we are rather hippocrates because we reward kotoka our only international airport knowing for sure he overthrow Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
Fact bro but it's funny😂😂
@@tupacthuglife1730Most of us love him. It's Npp and co who hates him
Exactly very hypocritical, the Kotoka airport name is a disgrace! It needs to be renamed Nkrumah airport airport.
@@madjoabutterflywhy though?
@@may_beeharuno2195 this is what's I'm saying, now you're blaming another political party for something we Ghanaians know it's evil to allow kotoka's name on our only international airport.
I remember Sekou as a top journalist for the Egyptian newspaper, Al-Hayat.
It is very beautiful to see the children of Osagyefo among our midst. On behalf of all young pioneers, we salute the founder
Dr. Nkrumah's IDEOLOGY is Distinct & Unique yet it achieved RESULTS for ALL. 👍Yes he was a DETECTOR & SOCIALISE.
I just love these two families of the great oseagyifo Dr koume Nkrumah
I really love Nkrumah ideologies but can his library be digitized so we can access it online
Multipartisan democracy is a hindrance to the development of developing nations.
Nkrumah only wanted Ghanaians to be focused and objective of the development of the nation over being subjective and greedy for power like some of the then leaders were.
But did he forcuse for the development of his own country, Ghana and his people?.
@@paulblay8575 Yes he did. And if it's about the aid he gave some countries, then my bro forget. That is how alliances are formed. No nation develops solely in its on shells. Besides can we claim that he underdeveloped Ghana because he offered aid to some countries??
@@francisvilasmensah216 that why Johannesburg is well developed and beautiful than Obuasi, but both towns produce gold , Shame
I really love the contributions of the two siblings towards this debate and I think that, Sekou came on top. You see, for so long, people have tried to HIDE the fact that Nkrumah was a Marxist socialist whose policies reflected his ideological stance. Ghana became a one party state and he pushed his programmes through an emasculated parliament. Nkrumah would not have changed track, considering the fact that he even condemned Russia for what he termed, revisionism. This was even after he was overthrown. I wonder how many of today's youth would want to live under communism. This was what Nkrumah stood for. Interestingly, this part of his legacy has been whitewashed. Sekou was right.
@@paulblay8575you forgot that south Africans only got independence in 1992. Did they discover the golden minds in joburg?
I'm just wondering which of Nkrumah's literature are in the library. Because the enemies burnt 🔥 and destroyed most of his works.
Who were the enemies those who burnt his books or those who sold his factories ? Both of them are enemies, don't pretend because Nkrumah was a smart guy and would view both as enemies
…sometimes to move forward with development you have to close the opposition to achieve your goal and to move the country forward. Singapore did it and succeeded, China has done it and have succeeded, and Rwanda also is doing it… sometimes multi-party democracy doesn’t help.
Wow! I enjoyed the conversation. But it appears Samia is a matured politician. Sekou on the other hand, make me feel there are still honest people in Ghana.
Interesting interview, lovely siblings, with interesting perspectives. I ended up watching the full interview instead of the minute intro as I intended to.
They were children when he was overthrown. They don't know much.
…even the kids of the founder are not as rich as todays politicians and that speaks a lot. He was selfless and was not property grabbing.
❤❤❤❤thank you sis
Nkrumah is the only founder and will always be the founder forever. Nobody can change our mind.
Amen, he came to liberate and unite.
i love this, the Daughter is Nkrumah, the son i dont know, but its all good. love it
It wasn’t Professor Mills that introduced 21st as Founder’s Day for Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
When he was a President the Founder’s Day was celebrated.
It was also a National Holiday with School Children marching.
They then introduced Inter School Athletics a.k.a. Interco. assembled all students in Accra for the meeting.
The climax of the meeting was 800 meters race of which he would present the trophy to the winner of the student because he run that event when he was in Achimota School of course with the 1st Lady Madam Fathia.
Great great discussion, and beautifully articulated too. I have to say after listening to the entire discussion I am team Samia though but hey great sibling discussion. Nkrumahism truly never dies. Long live Kwame Nkrumah long live Ghana
Everything was on the table yet this people did not UNDERSTAND HIM ""
The problem was not the people, it's was Nkrumah himself. His braggadocio mouth caused his overthrow. How do you demonize the West publicly but needed their help at the same time to industrialize your country. Have you forgotten his ill adviced "After all, the Blackman is capable of managing his own affairs" statement? Not to mention championing the charge of the total liberation of the entire African continent from colonialism. All these made the West to sabotage him and by extension brought the country to a total bankrupt which subsequently became the justification for his ouster. Have you asked yourself why leaders like Lee Kuan Yew whose situation was similar to that of Nkrumah succeeded? Nkrumah was sharp, no doubt but the truth needs to be told. His bombastic effusions was his Achilles Heel.
Beautiful conversations i love it❤
African greatest 🐐
Very nice interview.❤
Awesome interaction! Sometimes we forget it took a long time for these so-called democracies to reach where they are today. Definition of founder(s) should be respectfully reexamined. Are we talking of founding in terms of the settlers or founding in terms of naming a land area as Ghana and leading the settlers to independence? Is Mandela the founder of South Africa? Is Kenneth Kaunda the founder of Zambia? Is Robert Mogabe the founder of Zimbabwe? Is George Washington the founder of the USA? Is Lumumba the founder of DR Congo? Naming one person as the founder could sound dismissive of all the roles played by others before them.
Kwame Nkrumah just changed the name from gold coast to Ghana, he is not the founder of Ghana, we should bear in mind that, Nkrumah because of ancient days, ( Gana) Ghana how might that country was , the reason why Nkrumah change the name, but not founder
Exactly. People don't wanna accept the truth because of their hatred
@@paulblay8575he just changed the name, it’s because of ungrateful and shallow minded people that people do little for their motherland. Research the number of factories he built and then compare all other factories buoy after him 60yrs on, forget all other things he did, just compare factories
This woman is bold. After all she has nothing to lose
The man is saying facts and realities. However, the woman is just trying to support his father.
Sekou, at times sounds too westernized. So what is his dad embraced socialism. Capitalism in its purest form is not practised anywhere as it is impossible. Furthermore, capitalism has a lot of problems and is even becoming a joke. Look at all the monopolies and lack if competition occurring in Canada and the U.S..
Finally, neither has addressed strong outside forces Nkrumah faced at the time and that Africa faced.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love this debate - sister and brother nicely agree to disagree 😀🤭
Hear this song. Pan African Socialist students rise in Staunt party and loyalty. Show devotions to Ghana's glorious course March on to new Ghana land.
To the victrous struggle follow thee by the words of Kwame Nkrumah fellow Ghanaian let us be one too March on to new Ghana land.
SHE IS VERY VERY INTELLIGENT WOMEN.. SHE IS TALKING LIKE MANDELA IN SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 PRESIDENT .. IF WAS TODAY FATHER KWAME WILL LISTEN TO HER DAUGHTER ABOUT FOR THEM MAKE AS COME TOGETHER ❤ 💕.
Beautiful open-minded family
Kwame Nkrumah still leave Wise behind.
Interesting
Good interview Samia and Sekou.
Samia is good for me and our nation thanks
Sekou and Samia not on the same page. Samia is more informed and supportive of Nkrumah.
In Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s era, we had 3 Ks ruling the World :
1, Kennedy for the West…
2, Khrushchev for the East…
3, Kwame for Africa…
Very Powerful President Africa has ever had.
Thank you son. Kwame was a dictator. But very good dictator. Productive and industrialist. who had Ghana and Africa at heart.
From the leaders in bible to Alexander the Greak. tell me who was not a dictator.
The important thing is. was the job done? Yes, he did a very good job for his country than any other government in Ghana, that is the fact. 
So what is Sekous argument. He was 2 years old when his father passed so guys this is his own mind. He’s father never influenced him directly. What leadership has surpassed Nkrumah?
Samia will be the vise of the New Force
The daughter talks like his dad
The idea behind the renovation is to localize Nkrumah. Moselium, you need to move to it to see.
Founder's day, republic day, are holydays observed internationally. One can observe it wherever you are
To my Opinion, At that time, We needed to have one Party State to Devoloped our Country.
FYI Sekou: History confirms that leaders tend to become dictators when contesting opposition parties attempt to physically and illegally eliminate them... K. Nkrumah survived at least 5 brutal assassination attempts. I hope you're sympathetic to the plight of the family of the 6-year-old girl who was tricked to hand over to Nkrumah a bouquet of flowers that contained a bomb.
Yes, the bomb did explode which instantly killed the girl, and severely injured Nkrumah (circa 60's, Northern Ghana incident).
By definition, do you realize that UK/Britain, Canada, Australia etc have been under a form of political dictatorship that has lasted longer than you have been alive. This is just a partial list of countries whose political institutions you implicitly seemed to admire.
The unelected Royal Family (King/Queen) is the absolute leader of these countries - Constitutional Monarchy. Imho, you will learn a lot from your older sister by listening to her rather than casually dismissing her analysis or making futile and strategic attempts to shut her down.
Excellent worthy valuable wise points. Kudos bravo 👏
Sekou should study or learn well to be informed well, not influenced blindly by the Western acrimonious, antagonistic and hypocritical address or stereotyping/categorising of Nkrumah as a "dictator".
How would a Western defined so-called "dictator" state that, "the independence of Ghana (his country), be meaningless UNLESS it is linked up with the total liberation of Africa"??

Nana ADDO and Mahama’s kids can never have such intellectual conversations 😀😀😀😀!! Shade my shade 😀😀😀
Sekou misrepresents Nkrumah on some points.
Great intellectualists
Job
At the end of the day they will sit down for a meal.
Sekou think like Original Sekou Toure..
😊
I don't believe Seku understood the need and use for a one party state during Kwame Nkrumah 's time as Ghana's chief executive.
The Convention People's Party, the manner in which it was conceived and applied broke the colonial pattern of politics. The masses could raise their voices in such a political party and be clearly heard. Not so in a western emulated multi party system that primarily operates for the bourgeoise, and not the people.
Africa must have political parties that meet the needs of its masses first and foremost. The CPP of Nkrumah's time did that.
The other thing is maybe Seku isn't clear that Nkrumah afforded the opposition elements in Ghana every hospitality to fairly redress grievances. But they became a conspiratorial faction bent on undermining the democratically elected government of the nation by attempting to destabilize government operations,.and overthrow it.
The measures finally taken against the opposition was a necessity to maintain legal government.
It's important to remember that the CPP under President Nkrumah's leadership afforded them every opportunity within reason, despite the 5 opposition assassination attempts against him.
So, the "dictatorial" accusations against President Nkrumah are incorrect and untrue.
Seku seems to want Ghana to be lead by the nose by western nations under neo-colonialism.
Samia, like myself want to see Ghana,.and.the rest of Africa free and independent. No african state can be truly free if they continue being appendages of europe and the US.
Tryst me Samia is the vis behing the New Force
Seeing these two..I see typical siblings
Sekou you’re brilliantly poignant
MERCY. Men ?
Awesome 👌, cat bore born cats not cassava
Sekou 😂! Please hear out your sister 😂😂!! That's what they intended to produce when they decided to ban and burn all Nkrumah's books. Sekou read and fed on all the negative stuff about his father, got affected and formed by them before reading his father's books.
The interesting thing is if you look at the west - the practice a social-capitalist system with lots of social reforms.
Love Samias take Nkrumah would have formed a path that suited Africa.They should not interview Sekou again 😂 he will bring our Africa Unite movement down😂
If I become president of Ghana, I will change everything that Nana Addo changed, concerning history, because all doesn’t make sense…
That car is not Nkrumah. Eii akufo addo and Co 😮😊
Sekou is a big sellout!
I'm
See
Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was introducing NKRUMAISM an Idiology for AFRICA.
Nkrumah was a dictator and bad, that is why infrastructures such as, good hospitals, industries, good road, good schools etc. etc. were build.
Kwame was a dictator because the chiefs cannot spoil the water for gold and do galamsy and sell all government land for their selfish interests. I promise. , it will take another 70years for Ghanaians to understand Kwame Nkrumah.
