So What if Nkrumah was a Thief?

I fully appreciate the kind and level of ire I am apt to provoke among fanatics of the Nkrumaist circles; and I am not the least bit perturbed to stir the proverbial hornet’s nest, since the caption for this article was practically foisted on me by an article that I read on Ghanaweb.com titled “Controversy Unlimited: Blay-Miezah’s Billions” (7/1/09), in which the author sought to validate the subject’s claim to having stashed billions of dollars in Swiss banks in trust for the Republic of Ghana, while simultaneously debunking a Blay-Miezah associate’s claim that he has the Abracadabra (Code-Word/Number) key for accessing the same.
