Nigeria's, Kwame Nkrumah, led Ghana to Independence and became her first Prime Minister - unfortunately, he was a socialist.
Under his leadership, Ghana became one of the most enlightened African States - he opposed tribalism and introduced an unrivaled Education system
He promoted pan-African culture, calling for international libraries and cooperative efforts to study history and culture. He decried the norms of white supremacy and Eurocentrism imposed by British textbooks and cultural institutions.   
Under his leadership The Gold Coast became among the wealthiest and most socially advanced areas in Africa, with schools, railways, hospitals, social security and an advanced economy.
In 2000, he was voted Africa's man of the millennium by listeners to the BBC World Service, being described by the BBC as a "Hero of Independence", and an "International symbol of freedom as the leader of the first black African country to shake off the chains of colonial rule."[117]
His leadership was deposed by the combined efforts of Britain and the C.I.A.
"According to intelligence documents released by the American Office of the Historian, "Nkrumah was doing more to undermine [U.S. government] interests than any other black African."[118]"
In February 1966, while Nkrumah was on a state visit to North Vietnam and China, his government was overthrown in a military coup led by Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka and the National Liberation Council. President Nkrumah himself alluded to possible American complicity in the coup in his 1969 memoir Dark Days in Ghana, though he may have based this conclusion on falsified documents shown to him by the KGB.[112]
In 1978 John Stockwell, former Chief of the CIA's Angola Task Force, wrote that agents at the CIA's Accra station "maintained intimate contact with the plotters as a coup was hatched." Afterward, "inside CIA headquarters the Accra station was given full, if unofficial credit for the eventual coup.... None of this was adequately reflected in the agency's written records."[113]
KWAME NKRUMAH
Around the same time, Congolese independence leader and the first democratically elected leader of the Congo, Patrice Lumumba, began to bring about similar reforms in the former Belgian Congo - he died in a plane mysterious plane crash.
Is supporter in the United Nations, Secretary-General, Dag Hammarskjöld suffered a similar fate
"During a thirty-five-month period from January 1961 to November 1963 the politics and foreign relations of southern Africa were drastically altered by the deaths of Patrice Lumumba, Dag Hammarskjöld, and John F. Kennedy. Aside from Kwame Nkrumah, these three men were at the time arguably the most polarizing figures in Africa, adored by African nationalists and despised by the racist white settlers who dominated the politics of the southern half of the continent. Each of these three men, from separate continents yet all champions for the idea of self-determination in Africa, died violent deaths, the details of which remain shrouded in mystery to this day."
That crash has been put down to sabotge too.
Democracy eh?
