A 93-year-old Ghanaian, Mary Soma Otoo, has narrated how Ghana's first president, Osagyefo Dr. , ensured that Ghanaians embraced their identity and culture.
According to her, Ghanaians stopped wearing trousers and the corporate look to work and instead flanked cloth to represent their culture under Nkrumah.
Narrating this to journalist, Kafui Dei, the 93-year-old woman said Nkrumah's instillation of values in Ghanaians also led to the eating of local foods instead of things like salad, which has become rampant in contemporary times.
She said, "He [Nkrumah] wanted the Ghanaian to be a Ghanaian; he wanted the Ghanaian to be proud of himself.
