        The fact someone stands "taller" doesn't mean he's the only one there. You folks barely have a grip on what Ghana's Independence history is.

        You're confusing traitors with heroes! JB Danquah was a CIA asset. Which other "short" person is on your "heroes" list? Nkrumah stands tall!

        It is founder's day not founders day. Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah is the founder of Ghana. That is what history taught us.
