Nkroful
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Nkroful is a village in Ghana, located near Axim in the Western Region. It is inland 5 kilometers from the coastal highway, from the Essiama village junction turnoff.
Nkroful is famous as the birthplace of Kwame Nkrumah, the founder and first president of independent Ghana. Nkrumah was born there on September 21, 1909 and reared, and also buried after his death in 1972 — temporarily, it turned out, because his body was later moved to a grander mausoleum in Accra. Nkroful still has the original Nkrumah Mausoleum and monument, which continues to attract visitors.
The local language spoken in Nkroful is Nzema but Fante and English are also spoken.id:Nkroful no:Nkroful
