Drum Magazine social history photographs, Ghana edition 53

Nigeria, 1959. What a Welcome – Lunch with the Oba. Nkrumah with Oba Adeniji Adele. Dr Nkrumah and his party were too charming, too sunny to be resisted by the Nigerians. And his speeches, Dr Nkrumah proved himself an able statesman to say the least. He was clever enough to constantly remind the Nigerians that they were one with Ghana in culture and in national ambitions.
