The age old saying that �Nkrumah never dies� seems to carry much more weight than many may think. Just when almost all Ghanaians have come to accept that Ghana�s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, has four children, a fifth child has surfaced and says he is a true son of Osagyefo. His name is Dr. Onsy Anwar Nathan Kwame Nkrumah, a Saturday born (Kwame), whose birthday fell on March 17, 1957 - 10 days after Ghana attained independence. He has granted an exclusive interview with Citifmonline.com about his life. Born in Egypt to an Egyptian mom by name Isis Nashid, the 55-year-old son of Osagyefo told Citifmonline.com he has been in and out of Ghana for the past 30 years and has now �decided to settle here in Ghana.� At an �unveiling� ceremony in the capital, Accra, several family members who had trooped in from Dr. Nkrumah�s hometown were full of praise for the new �Dr. Kwame Nkrumah� who according to them had renovated and refurbished the family house which had been in a deplorable state for years. Conspicuously missing from the program were all the known children of Osagyefo. Dr. Francis Nkrumah, Gamel Nkrumah, Samia Yaaba Nkrumah and Dr. Sekou Nkrumah absented themselves for unknown reasons.
