Rastafari Council Of Ghana (RCG) Celebrates Nkrumah On His 114 Anniversary
OSAGYEFO DR KWAME NKRUMAH AT 114 YEARS, CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF A VISIONARY LEADER
On this occasion of the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day, whiles Ghanaians celebrate the first president of the Republic of Ghana and the world celebrates one of the founding fathers of the Organization of African Unity now African Union, the Rastafari Council Ghana join in this celebration, calling on all Ghanaians and Africans all over the world to revisit the ideas and vision of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah for a prosperous Africa.
The indelible imprints made by Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah to restore racial pride in the African, industrialize Ghana for economic transformation, whiles entrenching African Unity is worth reflecting on as we celebrate the 114th anniversary of his birth.
We must canonize our own saints, create our own martyrs, and elevate to positions of fame and honour, black men and women who have made distinct contribution to our racial history
In the words of Honourable Marcus Garvey “We must canonize our own saints, create our own martyrs, and elevate to positions of fame and honour, black men and women who have made distinct contribution to our racial history”. This enjoins I n I Rastafari to trumpet the works and achievements of Osagyefo whiles directing the younger generation to acquire the knowledge he espoused in his numerous books so as to orient themselves to carry forward the baton Osagyefo left.
The “African Man of the Millennium” Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah’s vision of a redeemed and united Africa is yet to be realized. The aim of his 7-year development plan; “to establish in Ghana a strong and progressive society in which no one will have any anxiety about the basic means of life, about work food and shelter; where poverty and illiteracy no longer exist, and disease is brought under control; and where our educational facilities provide all the children of Ghana with the best possible opportunities for the development of their potentialities” have still not been realized.
On this note the Rastafari Council, Ghana acknowledges that one of the best ways, we can honour him is to recommit and rededicate ourselves to the noble task of restoring the dignity we once upheld as a people by championing the vision of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
