FELLOW AFRIKANS,

I think the review of the biography of Nkrumah would now help shed some
light on the life and the circumstances of Nkrumah, and give us a better
understanding of how it was like for him and Afrika. It will help enlighten
those also who think Nkrumah is all about dictatorship and nothing else. I
have a slight disagreement with June Milne about socialism and why Nkrumah
pursued that system of governance. I am really surprised that with all those
years working with Nkrumah she could not distinguish socialism from the
Soviet Union! Even as an intellectual I thought she should have noticed
that, especially being a White she should have studied their systems and
ways. Anyway I will write an article soon to show that there is nothing like
Afrikan socialism, that socialism does not belong to the Soviet Union, that
it was not invented by Karl Marx, and even that Marx was not a full fledge
socialist, that socialism is not alien to Afrika, in fact I will show that
if Socialism has to belong anywhere then it is to Afrika it should belong.
In other words I will show that socialism is a universal concept.
