Sekou Nkrumah's brain is defficient

Some of the veins of Sekou Nkruma’s brain are blocked.

It is very obvious that that man’s senses are not that intact. As a man you need to know who you are, what you want, where you are heading to, you need to know your mark, where and when to stop. Sekou as a son of the first president of the republic of Ghana should be seen and heard making sound and meaningful comments at least if not for his ambition to become a president, his late father’s hard earned reputation he has left.

Dr Kwame nkrumah has achieved a lot for the country, he made Ghana a country with a lots of respect in Africa, but he is a human and has his negative sides too, that is normal, since he is human, As it is being said, ‘’Bema beyee bi, na wam be ye nenyinaa’’ So ghanaians kept the respect high even though Dr Kwame Nkrumah failed Ghana in different aspects.

Dr sekou kept on lashing on the reputation of the past and the present presidents, calling them names, discribing them with some awkward names, praising only his father as the only president who performed for Ghana, he went ahead bashing the late professor whose achievement in two and halve years he reigned as an unprecedented, simply because, he (DR Sekou) performed abysmally bad and the same time misbehaved and that led to his dismissal from NDC governement . If he has some attack to make, he should have done it, when the humble man was alive, not when he is late and people are remebering him for his sense of humor, then he (sekou)is trying to spoil people’s good memory. He Sekou himself is known to be spoiling discussions that is why he could not go with Cpp, they could not tolerate him, for his confused behaviour. Right after his dismissal from NDC, instead of him to know that, when you are hit with tragedy, for example, your wife divorce you or you lost your child etc, there is no need to rush for replacement at that very moment, you rather have to take time to put your pieces together or you will only mess things up. That is exactly what the confused Sekou did, he rushed to join NPP spewing lies about the late prof. Of peace, he Sekou was in the end exposed by any of NDc members refusal to respond to his recalcitrancy, he was ashamed and did not know what to do.

After joining NPP few weeks before the election, this confused man turned around attacking the flag bearer of NPP Nana Akufo Addo for which reason he is doing that,only God knows. Kwasi Pratt was right when he said it is difficult to differentiate between high fever and prophecy, though Dr Sekou did not prophesized anything but one could not tell if this kind of behaviour is not much of a high fever. He will only push people who feel sympathy for the late prof, Mills to also dig deep into the negative side of Late Dr Nkrumah to attack the hard earned reputation of Dr Kwame Nkrumah and who caused it ? Common sense did not seem to Sekou to be common .

It is believed that notoriourity attracts attention and in the end gives power but not today and where Ghana has grown to, that will only lead to people ignoring you. The way and manner Ghana play their politics, so dirty that, any kind of notoriority or recalcitrancy you play would be kept on record and when the need arises, would be used against you. Dr sekou should know what he wants and play it according to how he wants the future to look like. But if one lacks character, that is what happens. He Sekou should be seen now building his reputation rather than behaving like a kid talking anyhow.

It is even better to avoid stepping in a great man’s shoe, you will only expose yourself to dangers and think twice before saying anything, then play it according to how you want the future to be.
