Nsɛmfun ara kwa. Why should Ghana have anything to do with the deportation of Sierra Leonians, Nigerians, etc from America? Reducing Nkrumah's Ghana to a despicable sell out entity because of visa and tariff favours, while at the same time purporting to be leading a pan African drive for the payment of reparations by the perpetrators of the transatlantic slave trade. Pan African leader cum Pan African traitors, selling out our West African brethren for roasted ripe plantain and groundnuts.

When it comes to such issues, the Hamas supporting duo of John Mahama and Sam Ablakwa conveniently forget that Ghana is a sovereign nation and turn Ghana into a helpless, bootlicking puppy, but make useless noise about Ghana's sovereignty over very light issues, when it concerns Israel.

I insist that in the formulation of Ghana's foreign policy, the interests of Ghana and Africa should NO longer be subordinated to pan Arab causes/interests. Issues that do not directly concern Ghana ( such as Israel - Palestinian/Arab conflict) should not influence our relationship with any nation. When it comes to state policies, people should learn to put aside their personal biases. How does having a frosty relationship with Israel help Ghana, Mr Baby with sharp teeth?

By the way, I hope the senseless policy of refusing to prosecute foreign nationals caught in destroying our rivers and forests through galamsey (because of China) has been reversed. Muntaka, Ghana is a sovereign nation, bear in mind. And let no programmed NDC fanatic describe me as NPP person because I criticised Mahama. After all, Mahama himself welcomes criticism, unlike the petty Akufo Addo, who would sever relationships with friends for criticising him and claim they are trying to collapse his government.

Subsidise petrol to reduce petrol cost not cedi dollar, it's still why things are so expensive. This is how China's economy grew.
Subsidise petrol to make it cost less, this will drive down prices and encourage alot and alot job creation, more consumer spend for you to make your money back through taxation.
Ghanaians will have alot to money left to save for projects.
It also strengthens the cedi against the dollar, inflation...so you don't need to artificially pump billions of dollars to create artificial strong cedi. Instead use it to subsidise petrol. Cedi will stabilise naturally.
5 yrs jail and a fine for smugglers. For benefit of Ghana and Ghanaians ONLY
They focused on dollar and not petrol and wonder why economy never worked.
You get 2 for 1 bargain..Ghana what are we doing struggling? lack of knowledge

Immigrant Visa Processing Updates for Nationalities at High Risk of Public Benefits Usage
Last Updated: January 18, 2026
President Trump has made clear that immigrants must be financially self-sufficient and not be a financial burden to Americans. The Department of State is undergoing a full review of all policies, regulations, and guidance to ensure that immigrants from these high-risk countries do not utilize welfare in the United States or become a public charge.

Effective January 21, 2026, the Department of State is pausing all visa issuances to immigrant visa applicants who are nationals of the following countries:

Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Bhutan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Burma, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Colombia, Cote d’Ivoire, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dominica, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Fiji, The Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyz Republic, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, North Macedonia, Pakistan, Republic of the Congo, Russia, Rwanda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, and Yemen

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my immigrant visa interview appointment?
Immigrant visa applicants who are nationals of affected countries may submit visa applications and attend interviews, and the Department will continue to schedule applicants for appointments, but no immigrant visas will be issued to these nationals during this pause.

Are there any exceptions?
Dual nationals applying with a valid passport of a country that is not listed above are exempt from this pause.

Does this affect my current valid visa?
No immigrant visas have been revoked as part of this guidance. For questions regarding admission to the United States, we refer you to DHS.

Does this apply to tourist visas?
No, this pause is specifically for immigrant visa applicants. Tourist visas are nonimmigrant visas.

Thirty years in the USA working as a Nurse? With all the huge amounts of money she was paid, and she couldn’t even “ marry “ to obtain her papers?

If she was bold enough to resist the deportation at the US before entering Ghana to continue her resistance, I wouldn't blame her, but to act cold in US and come to Ghana to start behaving like an idiot is way over the line.

Call him Bully on what he calls the shots.. There is more going on than we know.. Govt balls is being squeezed in this game if chese I think ndc choose a least worse to accept some deportees as favor while we build our country into a future when we can say no next time.. Don't blame govt too much they are not stupid if u can see the obvious this shouldn't have happened.. Blame successive govt not prioritising our country. We are weak. We have us air base here. We are already in thier hands. Play the cards well. This is govt is not the business as usually..

What a shame!!! Treating a fellow African like an animal? Even in the US, she was not treated this way. Is this what John Dramani Mahamah and his NDC government meant by reset? Reset my foot. Bcos of nokofioo from Donald Trump, look at how a fellow African and of course a woman was treated. If you can't do it, why should you agree to receive African deportees in Ghana?

Sorry, some of you Ghanaians are very preimitive, unknowldgeable, just talking thrash.
What has this story got to do with politics Even in the so called Democratic countries, you cannot stand up to the immigration officers. Can a Ghanaian in Liberie, Sierraleone, or Nigeria misbehave when you are being deported to your country?. Did you know the issues between the Ghanaian Immigration, and the woman? Everything Politics, Why, why and hatred. Fools think better, and use youe your heads.

I'm even shocked at some people here. This is the image of Ghana a certain useless witch is trying to drag in mud, and some hopeless party fools are here making politics out it just to damage their useless ndc counterparts, either forgetting or intentionally ignoring the effects on the country. To them everything is ndc/npp. Useless political morons. Ghana is bigger than those two useless parties which for years have done nothing better than stealing national resources and destroying businesses. NKWASEAFOƆ ASEFOƆ in block letters.

The United State paid for every non Ghanaian deported to Ghana. With Ghana promising to take care of them for a period nobody know. And after a week this woman was sent to her native where US Immigration could not send her. This woman was promised a settlement in Ghana but Ghana screwed her. This is a diplomatic falsehood. What a cheap trick to gain credits from the United States. Collect more money from the US for the deportees to pay our debts and deport them to the countries they are running from.
