Pass the foreigner rental bill....also start sentencing these nigerian scammers, etc swiftly &publicly as a deterrent...
All Landlords renting to foreigners for stay must register their tenants details at the nearest police station. Invest in the infrastructure- you won't be disappointed. You did it with Ghana card.
This is done in China to prevent crime and abuse by foreigners in China. Failure to comply is 6 months in jail and a fine.
What foreign criminal wanting to do ashawo, scam, etc would want their details at the police station? So Ghana becomes unattractive for nigerian crimes.

-Gov't should fund monthly workshops to educate Ghana Immigration on WHY they must secure our borders-this is lack of education and ignorance. Our forefathers died for you to have a country and today you are selling GH passport for $5k and 20GHS for crossborder?shame on you.......Educating is important. Gh can work and prosper. We can do this

She does not have to apologize, but freedom of speech is not one way street. The people, also, in the name of freedom of speech have the right to be heard. Deal with it.

Nana Aba Anamoah what’s wrong with you? Do you have verbal diarrhea? Can’t you shut your diseased mouth a bit? Do you have to comment on everything? ARE YOU SURE ALL MEDIA PERSONNEL AND JOURNALISTS ARE INDEPENDENT IN GHANA? You must be mad, ignorant, seriously demented or plainly stupid or all of the above put together to think that way. We all have eyes, ears and brains. You must credit Ghanaians with common sense. If you don’t have any that’s fine but we do think properly and have proper brains. SHUT UP FOR ONCE. OSEBO BA MAAME.

You did it with free SHS..A booming economy is when consumers are able to spend and spend.....why are people spending, buying in Dubai, UAE? You get an organic economy not an artificial economy...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 to spend.
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

Citizenship as Strategy, Not Reward
An informed analysis starts by understanding that citizenship and passports are not only about merit or punishment; they are also tools of statecraft.
Ghana has, for years, positioned itself as:
a spiritual home for the African diaspora
a gateway to Africa (Year of Return, Beyond the Return, PANAFEST, etc.)
Within this framework, granting nationality or symbolic recognition to a high-profile diasporan is not unusual. Countries do this routinely:
to strengthen diaspora attachment
to create cultural ambassadors
to signal openness and identity leadership
The key question, therefore, is not:
“Has IShowSpeed built a hospital or road?”
But rather:
“Does this advance Ghana’s long-term diaspora and global identity strategy?”
A GHOne journalist who ignores this context is not analysing policy; she’s reacting emotionally.
2. Soft Power: Influence Is Not Always Immediate or Tangible
Soft power works through visibility, perception, and cultural pull, not instant material returns.
IShowSpeed:
commands tens of millions of young followers globally
reaches demographics traditional diplomacy cannot
creates organic, peer-to-peer exposure through content
His visit put Ghana in front of a global youth audience without a tourism budget or ad campaign. That doesn’t mean the policy is beyond criticism—but dismissing it as “irrelevant” shows a failure to understand modern influence.
A sane analysis would ask:
How does this compare to Ghana’s tourism spend?
What metrics should we use to evaluate cultural diplomacy?
How do other countries leverage influencers strategically?
Not asking these questions is intellectual laziness.
3. Media Framing: From Analysis to Performance. I Prof Steven Adei once stated that Ghana needs 50 or less to discuss national issues because it appears every body with a mic or camera is talking and insulting…that GHOne was just insulting, Borgaria is always insulting and this kojo Sheldon is always finding ways to politicize everything, the Abronyes etc
This is where Prof. Adei’s warning becomes painfully relevant.
Their criticisms focus on:
ridicule
tone
moral outrage
spectacle
Instead of:
policy rationale
legal basis for passport issuance
comparison with past cases
cost–benefit analysis
That is media as performance, not media as public education.
When journalists speak confidently while uninformed, they:
mislead the public
cheapen national discourse
crowd out thoughtful voices who don’t want to engage in insults
This is exactly why Prof. Adei says “you don’t hear people like Pro Frimpong Boateng etc with brains anymore.”
4. Where Criticism Would Be Legitimate
A balanced, informed critic could reasonably ask:
Was due process followed?
Does this set a clear precedent?
Is the passport symbolic or legal citizenship?
How does this fit into a broader, coherent diaspora policy?
Those are serious questions.
What we got instead was noise.
5. Linking Back to Prof. Adei’s “50 Sane Voices”
This episode proves his point.
When:
uninformed commentary dominates
social media rewards outrage
journalists confuse opinion with analysis
Then public discourse is hijacked by people who speak loudly, not wisely.
A country doesn’t need everyone talking.
It needs a few credible, informed, courageous voices who:
understand context
explain complexity
resist cheap populism
If Ghana had even 50 such voices consistently shaping debate, controversies like this would educate the public instead of embarrassing us.
Bottom line
The IShowSpeed passport issue is less about the influencer and more about:
the quality of Ghana’s public reasoning
the responsibility of journalists
and the silence of knowledgeable voices
So yes—Prof. Adei was right.
And this episode is a textbook example of what happens when sane voices retreat and uninformed ones take the microphone.

Right from now 2026 to 2035 African nations and all black nations worldwide must be extra extra vigilant on every little sickness and diseases and new scientific innovations that might start becoming current affairs internationally, especially in the countries of the evil white man and his gang of racist allies (Europe, US, Asia and the UAE) Africa must block and shut down every vaccination, medicine, food and tricky scientific technology that may be pushed by the United Nations, W.H.O, World Economic Forum, IMF, World Bank and all other affiliates of the UN, not forgetting all those foreign NGO's and their locally backed NGO's. African governments must send the Police or perhaps recruit the youth as agents to go to all the remote areas and villages in Africa in other to follow and monitor all those white people and non Africans claiming to be doing voluntary works in the classrooms and clinics. Let the Ministry of Information go to these remote areas and educate the populace not to accept any food/crops and medicine/chemicals nor give out any piece of information to foreign people about their health and wellbeing. African governments must let the Military Police (MP) and the Intelligent Agencies do random checks on all aspects of the Embassies and Companies of the evil white man and his gang of racist allies. African governments must recruit more Immigration officers and give them modern tools and gadgets to look into every importation whether by land, air or water.

The season and time for Ghana/Africa to be 20 years ahead of the corrupt and evil white man in terms of thinking, reasoning and implementation is now or never! The evil white man and his gang of racist allies are seriously afraid and panicking because they have seen the rise and serious awakening of the African people, that is why they are desperately pushing so hard with that fake scientific technology () so that they can catch up with Africa in other to continue being the lead in all aspects of life. There is no more time to sleep, than to be highly vigilant and suspicious on every little piece of international agenda the evil white man and his gang of racist allies may come up with, because whiles Africa goes to bed, the evil white man is seriously working around the clock to come up with different ways and tactics to weaken, destroy, kill and depopulate black people in other to stop every growth and advancement of all black nations worldwide. All the youth of African nations and all black nations worldwide must rise up and put severe pressure on their governments to be eagle-tiger eyed on their food and drugs board authorities and the educational ministry, because these are the main targets of the evil white man and his racist gang of allies, to get into the mind and body of the ordinary black person (especially the infants and children)

Do not be fooled and tricked by the evil white man and his racist gang of allies, because there is no such thing as International Standard when it comes to food, medicine and education in terms of HEALTH, WELBEING and SECURITY. African nations and all black nations worldwide must have their own standards in NEEDS and WANTS, PERIOD!
