Elizabeth Asantewa, who presented flowers to Nkrumah when a bomb exploded, tells her harrowing story
Elizabeth Asantewa was a young school girl, who was given the honour to present a bouquet of flowers to the former president Kwame Nkrumah. Unfortunately for her, there was a bomb, which exploded and injured her.
On Upside Down with Frema Adunyame and Nana Tuffuor Boateng, she tells her story, what her life has been like since then, and how she has been neglected.

Such wickedness ! This woman ought to be on state care for life.. for the simple fact that she survived a bomb meant for the president. Every government ought to inherit her. A house, doctors care , monthly income is too small for her. She deserves more. I weep for her.
Why don't you set up a GoFundMe or something for the public to donate
Her tears and gratitude at end brought tears to my eyes too. May she get the help that she deserves.

Now let the people of the world and the Government help her while she still alive. Big casket, beautiful flowers and big funeral are unnecessary when an intelligent and beautiful Mama like her could not get help that she needed. It's a blessing that she can talk and see and also what ever she will receive, she will praise the Lord and bless whom ever helps her out of this situation.❤👍📿🙇🙏☧

Even the kids now know that Kwame Nkrumah "has no size."
