This is absolutely nonsense. Send them back to where they come from without wasting tax payers money on them. Mahama has destroyed Ghana by disrespecting the sovereignty of Ghana by making Ghana as no man's land .

My question is that why are all these French countries so selfish.A Ghanain can't encroach any land of these French countries.They will kill him physically but ooooooh Ghana they will come beat us and jail us in our own country.I also blame the Akans .The Akans are so bias that even they go to the extent of betraying their own uncles and fathers.My point is that the Akans will give the land to the foreigners take their money and later report them to the police to be arrested.The is the main evil problems of the Akans.So greedy that they can do and undo ad far as 200 Ghana cedi will go to his pocket.Akans are the cause.

LIXO. I think you need more education. It is not your fault to be the way you are now. We can`t all be intelligent. I am sure you have forgotten how life was under Rawlings. If you say you enjoyed it, one must be sorry for you. Almost 20 years of our lives wasted for nothing. We sat down and watched Malaysia ,Singapore and Korea grow and what were we doing ? Senseless political infighting,corruption, destroying the progress achieved under Kwame Nkrumah. No matter what mistakes Busia,Acheampong, Afrifa, Gen Akuffo made J .Rawlings had almost 20 years to make things better and he failed.

My brother you said everything exactly the way it is, Rawlings slept on his job entirely whiles our institutions were not working e.g. Town council which checks our drainage n sanitation went underground no funding n npp brought zoomlion who are still looting Ghana.simple sanitation problems cannot be solved.
Come to ashaiman n see the mess going on at Presby area, the garbage is used to fill the stream killing the aquatic life where we used to catch fish when we were kids, the solution is simple fence the whole area and station two dump trucks which will be running to and from the dump site whiles the dumpsters are readily available always for every paying dumper to deposit their garbage.
But our non thinking officials are politicking on small issue as this and destroying our environment sad sad sad

How on earth can any sensible human being say he travelled to Ghana from his country to hunt for rats when the indigenous people themselves are master rat eaters ? According to a report filed by a reputable non governmental organisation called " Save the Rats , there has been a sharp decline of rat meat in ghana for the past twenty years. This is as a result of the inordinate desire to enjoy the delicacy by the locals themselves so for a foreign national to claim that he or she travelled to ghana to hunt for rats is not only laughable but also outrageous. The rat population in ghana is decimated almost to ninety-five percent due to its high demand by the foresters who can't live one second without rat meat and antelope entrails. The influx of chinese illegal miners into ghana is always affecting the dogs population. If the menace of these foreign rat and dog eaters are not curbed immediately, not a single rat or dog would be found in Ghana in the next two years.

@THE TRUTH, so u have the effontry to insult Muslims just bcos some foreigners have been caught in illegal mining. What has this to do with Muslims? Do u know the kind of conditions that some Ghanaians live in in foreign lands? They are from Niger and so u think they are dirty and u associate them with Muslims. Do u know the most dirtiest city in west Africa? It's Accra followed by Lagos. The capital city of the Nigeriens(niamey) that u describe as dirty is cleaner than Accra. Travel and open ur eyes.
