description: "Emmanuel Odarkwei Obetsebi-Lamptey was a political activist in the British colony of the Gold Coast. He was one of the founding fathers of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) known as \"The Big Six\". He was the father of NPP politician Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey. He played a vital role in the Big Six. He was recognized for his leadership. He was bold, confident and inspired his people to have hope. His leadership role being played well brought a change to the political, economical and social standards required to pronounce Ghana as an independent country from its colonial masters.\nMany argue that together with the rest of the big six with the exception of Dr. Nkrumah didn't contribute enough to the independence of Ghana to merit the recognition given them in present day Ghana."
