| In Ghana, the same story was repeated. President Nkrumah announced that he would rule the country with "African socialism." Ghana was doing well in 1960, largely because of its cocoa production; that year it produced 439,000 tons of cocoa. The government saw this as a gold mine and decreed that all cocoa must be sold to a government marketing board at prices well below world prices.
The results weren't felt immediately--they rarely are. In fact, cocoa production increased to 581,000 tons in 1964, but then the effects of the policies kicked in. By 1970 production was down to 406,000 tons, by 1978 to 270,000 tons and in 1982 to 225,000 tons. In other words, the socialist price controls and marketing board had managed to destroy over half of Ghana's cocoa production in just two decades. Ibid, pp. 110-111.Note The state farms created by Nkrumah were predictably a failure. Ghanaian economist George Ayittey writes: In 1965 the state farms barely produced enough food to feed their own workers, let alone the nation. After only three years of operation these government farms had accumulated losses of over $15 million. Between 1960 and 1966 local food prices doubled as a result of these shortages. The reaction of the Nkrumah government to rising food prices was one of paranoia. Instead of acknowledging the shortfalls in food production, Nkrumah blamed neocolonialist agents and economic saboteurs. Ayittey, Africa Betrayed, p. 168.Note |

March 6, 1957 Ghana became the first black African country to become independent from colonial rule.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/march/6/newsid_2515000/2515459.stm "The battle has ended," declared Kwame Nkrumah on March 6, 1957. "And Ghana, your beloved country, is free forever." Dr. Kwame Nkrumah became independent Ghana's first leader. 
In 1960, Nkrumah declared Ghana a republic and himself president for life in 1964. He banned all opposition parties. 
He was deposed in 1966 by a military coup while on a trip to Peking. He later died in exile in Romania in 1972. There followed a period of unstable government with one coup after another, culminating in 1992 in a referendum on a multiparty system. Flight Lieutenant Jerry Rawlings, who had already led two coups against the government, was elected president. His supporters credit him with stabilising a turbulent political scene and leaving a legacy of democracy. He retired in 2000 and President John Kufuor was elected.
