“Africa is a paradox which illustrates and highlights neo-colonialism .”

Capitalism is but the gentlemen’s method of slavery.

It is far better to be free to govern or misgovern yourself than to be governed by anybody else

Africa is one continent, one people and one nation

In communal society, where there are virtually no class divisions, man’s productive activities on outlook and culture is less discernible. Account must be taken of the psychology of conflicting classes.

All people of African descent, whether they live in North or South America, the Caribbean, or in any part of the world are Africans and belong to the African nation.

The result of neo-colonialism is that foreign capital is used for the exploitation rather than for the development of the less developed parts of the world.

Ghana must not, Ghana cannot be neutral in the struggle of the oppressed against the oppressor.

It is clear that we must find an African solution to our problems, and that this can only be found in African unity.

In reality its economic system and thus its political policy is directed from outside.

We all want a United Africa, United not only in our concept of what unity connotes, but united in our common desire to move forward together in dealing with all the problems that can best be solved only on a continental basis.

Long after i am dead and gone, the light will continue to burn and be borne aloft, giving light and guidance to all people

The forces that unite us are intrinsic and greater than the superimposed influences that keep us apart.

We prefer self-government with danger to servitude in tranquility.

It is only the ending of capitalism, colonialism, imperialism and neocolonialism and the attainment of world communism that can provide the conditions under which the RACE question can finally be abolished and eliminated.

It is far easier for the proverbial camel to pass through the needle’s eye, hump and all, than for an erstwhile colonial administration to give sound and honest counsel of a political nature to its liberated territory.

Countrymen, the task ahead is great indeed, and heavy is the responsibility; and yet it is a noble and glorious challenge.

It is only the ending of capitalism, colonialism, imperialism and neocolonialism and the attainment of world communism that can provide the conditions under which the RACE question can finally be abolished and eliminated.

The essence of neo-colonialism is that the State which is subject to it is, in theory, independent and has all the outward trappings of international sovereignty.

Investment under neo-colonialism increases rather than decreases the gap between the rich and poor countries of the world.

A State in the grip of neo-colonialism is not master of its own destiny. It is this factor which makes neo-colonialism such a serious threat to world peace.

Colonialism bred an innate arrogance, but when you undertake that sort of imperial adventure, that arrogance gives way to a feeling of accommodativeness. You take pride in your openness.

That has a particular history and I think we rather lost it in the 19th Century, we became so much part of empire and colonialism.

We are a muslim country. We don’t know something called colonialism and political parties.

The Soviets held to the tradition of colonialism. They raped the country and killed many people. But they also built dams, electrical power plants, streets, and technical schools.
