But to suggest that, a dictator and champion of nepotism-Kwame Nkrumah, who had no respect for the rule of law as it can be clearly seen in his enactment of the Preventive Detention Act,  by any means is GREATER than Mandela—is pure absurdity.

Again, Kwame Nkrumah and Nelson Mandela belong to different era of time with different political situations, it is therefore even wrong to compare the two men.  Even if you decide to go ahead of a comparison, I do not see how Nkrumah would ever be greater than Mandela.
