Cult of the Messiah
In the market place at Accra, capital of Ghana, you can buy for sixpence each a series of postcards which show Christ handing the keys of the kingdom over to Prime Minister Nkrumah. Every day Ghana’s only afternoon newspaper, the Evening News, devotes its front page to biblically phrased eulogies of “our great Messiah, Kwame Nkrumah.” Recently it showed him “in the hour of transfiguration” when “the whole being of the Hero was transported to the scene of suffering in South Africa.” It also reported that an Indian doctor had seen a vision of Nkrumah walking on the waters.
