Nkrumahism is a political ideology based on the ideas of Kwame Nkrumah, the first President of Ghana. It emphasizes pan-Africanism, socialism, and the importance of self-determination for African nations. Nkrumah believed that African countries should unite to achieve political and economic independence from colonial powers. The ideology advocates for a strong, centralized government to promote social justice and economic development. Nkrumahism also stresses the need for African unity to combat neocolonialism and foster cooperation among African states. This approach aims to empower the continent and improve the lives of its people through collective action and solidarity.
