🚨Breaking🚨 Today In History🇬🇭

Today marks exactly 60 years since the first president of Ghana 🇬🇭, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, was overthrown by a military coup led by Gen. Ankrah, Col. Kotoka, and John Harlley (then IGP).

Before the coup, there had been several assassination attempts on the life of Dr Nkrumah by his own presidential guards.

One such attempt occurred on 2nd January 1964, when a presidential guard named Seth Nicholas Kwami Ametewee had his gun pointed and ready to fire at the president.

It had to take the heroics of the then ADC to the president, Salifu Dagarti to save the president. Ametewee shot his rifle but Salifu was that timely shield 🛡 between the bullet and the president...

Unfortunately, Salifu Dagarti’s name had been lost in the pool of heroes of the nation... sad😢

🚨Breaking🚨Supt. Kanjarga-The Unsung Hero of 28th February 1948 Shootings. 🇬🇭

On 28th February 1948, a peaceful march by unarmed World War II veterans changed the course of Ghana’s history forever. The ex-servicemen were heading to Christiansborg Castle in Accra to present a petition to the colonial Governor. They were demanding better treatment, unpaid benefits, and fair conditions after risking their lives for the British Empire.

But at the Christiansborg crossroads, they were stopped by colonial police. The officer in command ordered his men to fire on the peaceful protesters. What happened next sparked nationwide riots and became a turning point in the struggle for independence.

Three brave veterans lost their lives that day. Their deaths ignited anger across the Gold Coast and intensified the fight for freedom, eventually leading to independence in 1957.

Yet, hidden in that tragic moment was an act of courage that many rarely talk about. Inspector Issa Kanjarga, who was second-in-command at the scene, reportedly gave a counter-order instructing officers not to shoot directly at the unarmed crowd but to fire into the air instead. His decision is believed to have prevented an even greater massacre.

For standing against an unlawful command, he faced disciplinary action. Over time, his name faded from the spotlight of history.

As we remember 28th February, let’s honour not only the fallen heroes but also those who showed moral courage in difficult moments. History is shaped not just by loud revolutions, but by quiet bravery too. 🙏🏾🇬🇭

🚨Breaking🚨 The death of J. B. Danquah at Nsawam Prison on 4 February 1965 remains one of the darkest and most debated moments in Ghana’s political history.

By the mid-1960s, tensions between Danquah and President Kwame Nkrumah had reached a breaking point. Once political associates in the early nationalist struggle, the two men became fierce rivals. Danquah was an outspoken critic of Nkrumah’s government, particularly after the passage of the Preventive Detention Act (PDA), which allowed individuals to be detained without trial on grounds of national security.

In 1964, Danquah was arrested under the PDA and sent to Nsawam Prison. He was 69 years old and reportedly in fragile health. Accounts from critics and later commentators claim that while in detention, he repeatedly requested medical attention as his condition deteriorated. It is alleged that adequate care was either delayed or denied. On 4 February 1965, Danquah died in his cell.

Official reports at the time attributed his death to natural causes. However, many Ghanaians believed that his prolonged detention without trial, coupled with the alleged refusal of proper medical treatment, directly contributed to his passing. Because Nkrumah was Head of State and the architect of the PDA, some have held him politically and morally responsible for creating the circumstances that led to Danquah’s death.

Decades later, the controversy endures raising difficult questions about executive power, civil liberties, and the cost of political rivalry in Ghana’s First Republic. 🇬🇭⚖️

🚨Breaking🚨 President John Dramani Mahama has dismissed a series of petitions seeking the removal of the Special Prosecutor and the leadership of the Electoral Commission, following advice that no prima facie case has been established.

The decision comes after the Chief Justice reviewed the allegations and determined that the petitions did not present sufficient evidence to warrant further constitutional proceedings. The petitions had called for the removal of the Special Prosecutor as well as the Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa, and her two deputies.

In a statement, the Presidency indicated that due process was followed in line with constitutional provisions. After careful consideration and consultation, it was concluded that the threshold for initiating removal processes had not been met.

The development is expected to calm tensions surrounding the controversy, which has sparked political debate in recent weeks. Supporters of the decision argue that it upholds institutional stability, while critics insist accountability concerns remain.

For now, the Special Prosecutor and the Electoral Commission leadership remain in office. 🇬🇭⚖️

🚨Breaking🚨 In the early 1960s, relations between Ghana and neighboring Togo shifted from cautious cooperation to open hostility. At the center of the tension were Kwame Nkrumah and Togo’s first president, Sylvanus Olympio.

Nkrumah was a leading voice of Pan-Africanism, pushing for rapid political union among newly independent African states. Olympio, however, took a different path. Having led Togo to independence in 1960, he prioritized national sovereignty and cautious economic management, maintaining close ties with France. He resisted Nkrumah’s vision of federation, fearing it would compromise Togo’s autonomy.

Tensions deepened over border and security issues, particularly concerning the Ewe population living across Ghana and Togo. Olympio accused Ghana of harboring Togolese dissidents and interfering in his country’s internal affairs. Diplomatic relations deteriorated sharply by 1962.

On 13 January 1963, Olympio was overthrown and assassinated by a group of Togolese soldiers led by Gnassingbé Eyadéma. The coup shocked Africa—it was the first successful military overthrow of a post-independence government in West Africa.

In the aftermath, suspicion swirled around Nkrumah. Critics alleged that Ghana may have supported Togolese dissidents or maintained contacts with coup plotters. Some accounts claimed that the tense rivalry and Nkrumah’s regional ambitions created an atmosphere that emboldened opposition forces. However, despite decades of debate, no conclusive documentary evidence has proven that Nkrumah directly ordered or orchestrated Olympio’s assassination. Most historians attribute the coup primarily to internal grievances within Togo’s military, particularly among former French colonial soldiers denied integration. 🌍⚖️

🚨Breaking🚨Akufo-Addo’s Government is Better than Mahama’s Second Coming- Farmer

“I'm not a politician, I'm a farmer.

Under Akufo-Addo, if I engage a labourer to work on my farm for a day, I paid 50 Cedis; today, it's 120 Cedis.

I used to sell a bag of maize at 1,000 Cedis, and cement was 100 Cedis, so I could buy 10 bags.

Today, a bag of maize is 400 Cedis, and with the slight reduction in cement prices, I still have to find additional cash to buy 10 bags.”

🚨Breaking🚨
HOW ASANTE CHIEFS SELECT THEIR OFFICIAL NAMES (Stool Name).

There is a lot of misinformation circulating in our communities about how an incoming chief selects his official name (Stool Name).

The sad aspect of the miseducation is the fact that an incoming chief selects his Official Name (Stool Name) by going to the Stool Room blaindfolded to touch any of the Black Stools in the Stool Room, so that the name of the past chief (ancestor) associated with it becomes his Official Name.

THIS IS NOT AND CAN NOT BE TRUE; for as a rule, a royal is prohibited from entering a Stool Room (Nkonwa dan mu) until he becomes a chief.

It is also important to note that if selecting an Official Name by blindfolding and touching a stool were true, then it would be reasonable to say that the name of the first chief shall run through to the new chief. That is to say that Opoku Ware I would have touched Osei Tutu I's stool to become Osei Tutu II on and on and on.

THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH IS THAT; after selection, nomination and vetting of the incoming chief, he is given an Official Name in consultation with the Queen Mother, Abusuapanin and Abusuabaapani of the Royal Household in camera.

Before sitting in camera, they would have consulted with but very few of the elderly members of the household.

The First Choice Name is often the name of a departed chief with all the ingredients of bravery, had work, diplomacy and tact.

The names of two great chiefs may be combined ie. Atakora & Amaniampon, hence Atakora Amaniampon. The incoming chief may choose to use his own name or combine part of his own name with other names or even coin a name.
