With the creation of the GHANA BROADCASTING CORPORATION (GBC) in 1953, the Ghana News Agency on the eve of independence on March 5, 1957, and the foreign service in 1961, Nkrumah rivaled the BBC and VOA in terms of reach. and deep as a broadcast service, apart from English was also in Swahili, Hausa, French, Spanish and Portuguese (plus a host of local languages).
From the broadcasting house, next to the seat of government, Flagstaff House, Radio Ghana broadcast information, propaganda and messages of support to the peoples struggling for freedom and self-determination in all parts of Africa. . Nkrumah was always one step ahead of the colonialists and imperialists.
But then, with the help of quislings, the US CIA and its NATO allies overthrew Nkrumah in February 1966 and dismantled Radio Ghana’s foreign service. Since then, no successor regime has seen in the Pan-African interest to revive the foreign service. Why? For fear of offending the “neocolonial” masters. Not even the Tsikatas / Rawlings (P) NDC regimes would dare to consider relaunching a flagship of Pan-African propaganda.
Why? Because they owed their existence and their state ownership to the axis of neocolonialism. They don’t dare bite the hands that feed them. The ruling NPP and the NDC opposition (Dukadaya, i.e. two sides of the same counterfeit coin) have the same anti-Nkrumaism roots and the same ethno-hegemonic lineage. The benign neglect of most of the institutions created by Nkrumah is a heartbreaking sight to behold.
See how GBC and Ghana News Agency were left behind by basking in mediocrity. What Radio Ghana meant to our friends and relatives in East, Southern and Central Africa during Nkrumah’s time has been lost by successive regimes that lip service to the ideals and practice of Nkrumah and the CPP. It is this propagated lie that the NDC is associated with Nkrumaism that has become a setback in the Pan-African struggle. This is the greatest deception facing Pan-Africa.
And to think that the KWAME NKRUMAH IDEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE has become a propaganda platform for the defenders of the Dukadaya cannot be breathtaking because President Nana Akufo-Addo, President Michael Ocquaye, Afari-Gyan, Ato Ahwoi, Elisabeth Ohene, Kwabena Duffuor, Kwesi Botchway and Kojo Boakye-Djan (the only strange one who, with conviction and at great risk, formed and organized the Movement for Free Africa in the armed forces of Ghana) who formed the bridgehead against the nkrumaism were all trained at the Kwame Nkrumah Ideological Institute between 1963 and 1964. At that time, in order to obtain a university degree, it was compulsory to complete a year of teaching at the Winneba Ideological Institute.
That these graduates of the Kwame Nkrumah Ideological Institute prefer, out of conviction, to place themselves under the armpit of the Washington consensus and be thus remotely guided is a revealing lesson. This is the enigma of Ghana. Ghana is under neocolonial influence. And it is this fact that must be denounced of the cover-up and cover-up faced by Dukadaya’s ruling elites and their Washington Consensus keepers. As Nkrumah would put it, they, by their own actions, trapped Ghana “in the gambling house of colonialism”.
This is the riddle called the Dukadaya Ghana
