6. Nkrumah Gave About 10 Million Pounds of Ghana’s Money to Guinea When Ghana Needed It
A newly Independent Ghana needed money to erect infrastructure and define its economic future. The British left Ghana with a good amount of cash but apart from allegations of Nkrumah himself being corrupt just as his Ministers, he took about 10 million pounds of Ghana’s money and gave it out to Guinea when the country rebelled against France and lost its financial backing.
Many historians and political scientists agree that this was a reckless decision by Nkrumah.
£10 million pounds then would be about £500 million today, and if John Mahama took this and handed it out to any country, everyone would call his decision inappropriate. Such was Nkrumah’s kind gesture.
