"consensus-building was the most important endeavour politicians, trade unionists, academicians, civil societies and think tanks on the African continent must embrace to allow them to collectively agree on national and continental priorities."
Samia Nkrumah"All Africans across the globe must come together to prosper."
Samia Nkrumah"For me, the greatest problem we have as a country and continent is we are not able to marshal the best minds or skills in Ghana and Africa because of multiparty politics."
Samia Nkrumah"I wonder why we didnt think about five or six regional markets rather than one. I know the answer ."
Samia Nkrumah"I don’t think any government can perform to our satisfaction, without seriously taking up the challenge of working with other African governments. Our father wrote about this extensively. For our economic survival, we need to integrate with other economies."
Samia Nkrumah"I think the solution to our economic wars and challenges as individual African countries is to take this very seriously."
Samia Nkrumah"No government has delivered satisfactorily to the people of Ghana… The NPP government has not delivered satisfactorily. The NDC government has not delivered satisfactorily. Since we returned to multiparty democracy, we are floundering."
Samia Nkrumah"They were together for only 8 years. This young, beautiful woman was left with three children, but that’s how it was. That is the price we paid for our independence, and it’s a price we’re still paying to become economically independent."
Samia Nkrumah"There are so many things we could do easier and cheaper, including even borrowing, if we collaborate."
Samia Nkrumah"The world needs to be aware that this cant happen and we in Ghana, the people, must add our voice to the millions of people all over the world that there must be a humanitarian corridor enough, no more killing; war is never the solution; the solution is political. But before we get to the political, we need to stop the bombing, stop the killing, and stop the destruction ."
Samia Nkrumah"father died while their mother was still young was another painful sacrifice they had to endure while growing up."
