Nonsense and so what? Does $10,000 come anywhere close to a human's life. You people are blind. I witnessed the many South African youths who were gunned down in the struggle. Name one Ghanian who died in that fight. One. None. Zilch. So, enough with the ignorant, parasitic mindset. No Ghanaian will tolerate such in a reverse situation. We live to see. This is indirectly galvanizing Nigerians to flood and occupy Ghana. Are you ready? - A true Ghanaian.

@ Dr Goodfellow. You are an uncultured person and a lier. Even if the man had donated $5 to Nelson Mandela, the gesture alone speaks volumes of goodwill that 99% of South Africans - then and now, could not offer.

Your rificulous reaction suggests that you were either too young or you are naturally too mentally retarded to know the full details of what went on during the anti-apartheid struggle. The whole world - well of course, except the West and their local puppets the antecedents of the NPP, gave moral, financial, military, diplomatic, political and logistical support in every possible way to force the racists out of power.

Even though I vehemently oppose people turning their backs on their own developing countries to go elsewhere and benefit from what they have not sown, I likewise frown upon violence being meted out to them in those other countries. An insignificant number of migrants have good reasons for "running away" from their countries of origin.

What is happening in South Africa today, creates a dent on the need, the enthusiasm and the aspirations for African unity.

Damn nasty and disgusting ignorant twerp. Ghanaians did a lot for Liberians when Charles Taylor did the unthinkable and unimaginable on Africans in Liberia, especially to Ghanaians and Nigerians. Finally, when issues got settled, Liberians trooped and settled in Ghana because no other African country will accept them, not even Nigerians. Ghana created a whole city where Liberians settled. The city is called Gomoa Budumbura in the Central Region of Ghana. My uncle was was a seasoned Police Officer was the Commanding Officer of the Police there.
The Liberian refugees became a havoc and a threat to Ghanaian travelers from Accra to Winneba. Many of the Refugees had become heartless criminals, especially Armed Robbers in Accra and many other cities in Ghana. They hated Education and honest good jobs. The Government of Ghana did not force them to leave their country but encouraged them to leave for their country because the war was over. Some, especially the young ones had no profession but engaged in violent crimes to become rich overnight. This brought in the Ghana Police into the turmoil and the Refugee Camp was closed down. Some Liberians were forced to leave for their country because no other West African country was prepared to receive and welcome them. They spoke no French so they had to flee back to Liberia and melt into their country but because of their criminal and violent nature, their own people did not want to welcome them. Why do our own Ghanaian Politicians always bring Refugees problems on Ghanaians that makes the people in Ghana suffer.
Now, Nigerians have virtually taken over Ghana and obey no rules. They engage in all criminal activities, including Cyberattacks. Why should Ghana accept them when South Africa deported them? Our Politicians and Ghanaians should not accept Illegal immigrants from Africa, Middle and far Eastern countries. Those from Europe and the Americas are less violent and can be easily controlled.What do we need any Arabs from the Middle East in Ghana for. Let Ghana be first for Ghanaians alone first. Dispatch the Military, the Police, and form Community Police to make all illegal immigrants uncomfortable in the country. The Community Police should help to arrest illegal immigrants, especially from Nigeria, North and Central African countries in Ghana. They should not be welcomed at anywhere in Ghana so long as they are illegals. Burkina Faso does not welcome any illegal immigrants into their country now. Why should a small country like Ghana bear the burden of Illegal foreigners in the country. If Ghana is having problems in handling illegal foreigners, they should bring Benjamin Netanyahu and Grandfather Trump to help her do it. Netanyahu can help Ghana to do this easily.

@Yaa Dua. Good submission. I can not agree with you more. Well said. Ghana is so poorly runned by our leaders. Politics has become a means of enriching oneself. The examples are there for us all to see. Those who looted the country are not arrested, prosecuted and jailed. Just look at ORAL which is now dead. South Africans have every right to claim their country for themselves (but I do condone their violence against immigrants). It is high time we start developing Ghana to avoid migrating to other countries for job opportunities, etc.

@Yaa Dua. You nailed it. A whole 69 years since we gained independence and we are still extremely underdeveloped as a nation. Poor leaders all along except Kwame Nkrumah. No wonder our citizens are looking for greener pastures elsewhere. I urge all Ghanaians/Africans to watch the YouTube channel called the "Bantucitydiaries" to understand why the African continent is as it is. It all boils down to poor leadership.

Thanks for sharing this historical document with us. Unfortunately, South Africans have forgotten how African countries stood by their side and fought for their liberation. It is especially disturbing to see the Zulu King (who should know better) stood in front of a crowd sometime last year and asked African immigrants (using a local derogatory term to describe them) to leave South Africa as soon as possible. The violence against African immigrants which we are seeing now emanates from the words of the Zulu King.

Whether educated or not, South Africans are very intransigent. Though, I haven’t crossed the 60th year, but I saw them in Accra housed at International Students Hostel at the airport. They had been there throughout the apartheid regime. They enjoyed Ghana to the fullest. Today, look at them, got the mouth to tell Africans to go home and fix their countries. Useless and greedy bastards.

Kofi Anku is a hypocrite. I am Dr. Vincent Anku’s only daughter. Kofi tried to put my Dad in an illegal conservatorship (falsely deem him incompetent and strip him of his human rights) to steal all of his money, then my Dad suddenly died.

Now, Kofi is trying (and failing) to steal everyone’s inheritance.

Kofi Komla Anku and his wife Maame A.S. Mensa Bonsu are very corrupt and greedy people.

They don’t care about what is happening in S. Africa.

Kofi is trying to brag, using my Dad’s generosity (which my Dad never publicized).

Visit www.GhanaianLandFraud.com to learn about Kofi’s criminal behavior.

Please celebrate my Dad.

But as for Kofi, he and his wife are absolute garbage.

Albert,

I find it deeply concerning that individuals who attempt to raise legitimate concerns are dismissed or disrespected publicly, while others continue to receive recognition for actions that are, at best, questionable.

In my personal experience, I entered into a property transaction with Kofi Anku regarding a land at Pokuase Heights. During the process, due diligence raised serious concerns about the legal ownership and authority over the land. Specifically, it became apparent that the land in question was not properly vested in his name, and the necessary legal documentation to support the transaction could not be provided.

As a result, the purchase did not proceed. However, my deposit has not been returned, and this matter is currently subject to ongoing legal proceedings involving both Mr. Anku and Maame A. S. Bonsu, his wife.

Given these circumstances, I believe it is both reasonable and necessary for individuals to speak up when they have been affected in this way. Raising concerns should not be met with dismissal, particularly when there are unresolved i

I feel compelled to share my experience in the interest of transparency.

I entered into a property transaction with Kofi Anku regarding land at Pokuase Heights.

Given this experience, it is difficult to reconcile the public recognition being given with the issues I encountered. There also appear to be inconsistencies in publicly stated claims regarding developments attributed to him, including varying figures cited for projects such as Ayi Mensah.

This is shared to encourage accountability and ensure that recognition is aligned with verified actions and integrity. Matters of this nature deserve careful scrutiny.
