Answer:

Because he believed that african indepence would solve colonial rule hardships, and bring opportunity and prosperity

Step-by-step explanation:

Kwame Nkrumah was a former Prime Minister and later President of Ghana. He is considered as one of the best politician and revolutionary leader in Ghana history. He played an important role in the Gold Coast route to independence from Britain in 1957.

He opposed colonialism which he sees as a cousin to imperialism because, he believed that, colonialism brings hardship to its subjects. Hence, he supported independence and self government, which he perceived to be the solution to Africa, and that it will lead to opportunity and prosperity while transforming the economy of the country for better.
