"By far the greatest wrong which the departing colonialists inflicted on us, and which we now continue to inflict on ourselves in our present state of disunity, was to leave us divided into economically unviable States which bear no possibility of real development...

." Kwame NKRUMAH (Ghana)

"We must be ever mindful that our greatest weapon is the ONENESS which we share as Afrikans. But it is not enough to be Afrikans. That which pulls us apart and divides us must be pursued relentlessly and inexorably. We must expand yet further communications among the Afrikan nations, we must come to know one another better. We must increase student exchanges and visits to one another's countries. Our GREATEST ASSET is our UNITY, and we MUST exploit it to the fullest.

"Emperor Haile Selassie I (Ethiopia)

"Common territory, language and culture may in fact be present in a nation, but the existence of a nation does not necessarily imply the presence of all three. Common territory and language alone may form the basis of a nation. Similarly, common territory plus common culture may be the basis. In some cases, only one of the three applies. A state may exist on a multi-national basis. The community of economic life is the major feature within a nation, and it is the economy which holds together the people living in a territory. It is on this basis that the new Africans recognise themselves as potentially one nation, whose domination is the entire African continent."

Kwame Nkrumah (Ghana)
