The Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park (KNMP) has asked the Bank of Ghana (BoG) to replace the image of Ghana’s “Big Six” on the country’s currency notes with an iconic photo of Ghanaian Founding Father Kwame Nkrumah taken during the country’s first day of independence, March 6, 1957. The KNMP made this proposal in a November 6 press release, as the BoG prepares to launch a new and improved set of Ghanaian banknotes.
For those who know the true history of Ghana’s independence struggle, this proposed change to the country’s currency design is long overdue.
The idea of a Ghanaian “Big Six” has no basis in historical fact, and is itself an insult to the memory of Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah.

But we know better.
Spearhead’s @sannario_ breaks down the dishonesty behind Badenoch’s viral X post of 31 October.
Many African Elites Secretly Consume The Spearhead’s Content
