Apparently there is a subtle debate going on about who takes the greatest african leader of all time - between Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and Dr. Nelson Mandela. the Editor-In-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako shared his thoughts on the subject. Read his full thoughts below:
“Maybe there is a little of a bias but the greatest African leader is Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah and the most famous leader is Nelson Mandela… Even though both of them are great”
Even though he decided not to give much priority to the issue, he stated that Mandela has done a lot for the African race; however, Kwame Nkrumah is the greatest.
He added that through Nkrumah’s effort, Ghana became the first black nation south of the Sahara to attain independence.
"Ghana’s independence had an electric catalytic effect not just on the continent but across the world," he said.
Meanwhile, he has commended Nelson Mandela for his peaceful nature; which even reflected after his death. According to him, because Nelson Mandela stood for peace, freedom and many more, his death was able to create cordiality between sworn enemies.
President Barack Obama shook hands with Cuban President Raul Castro, brother of Fidel Castro at the memorial service for Nelson Mandela.
Kweku Baako, who was contributing to a panel discussion on ‘Kokrokoo’, said: “Obama’s handshake with Castro; that is Mandela for you; that is the spirit of Mandela for you…”
My take on the issue: # kweku Baako is right# #teamghana#
