The Ghana Embassy in DC should be investigated as well they collect fees for Dual citizenship,passport renewal and don't deliver. They are corrupt just like the thieves in Accra
JOEATUA, hardship don't warrant disgraceful corruption, you twat. Shame on you.
I have many many African American friends in Ghana and I am so disgusted by their complaints during our conversations so much so that sometimes I feel like throwing up. I have always said Ghana is not a country that's because ...

I met many African Americans in Ghana and must be honest and say I am not impressed. In the US they constantly cry racism as they really hate whites. They blame the white man for everything. While in Ghana they look down on G ...

your stupidity is beyond belief; if they looked down on Ghanaians, as you stupidly proclaim here, it's because of uncivilized fools like you at the airport and Accra who accost and harass them for money
MAHAMA FOR YOU,TWEAAAAAAA CRIMINALS,CORRUPTION,DUMSOR DUMSOR NDC DOGS,GOD WILL PUNISH THEM ALL ONE BY ONE FOOOOLS

I would love to live in My Beloved Ghana and I have been there there twice and have families and many friends there.
You are so right... Same experience with them here in the states...rude and uncultured group of people
Nonsense - because the US is the most honest country on earth. Get your documents in order then no one tries to show you a backdoor. i'd like to hear more of this story and how it ends - but of course the lazy sensationalist ...

Dude, this is a special case - the return of African descendants to the continent. You can't bring an argument of reciprocity here. Ghana's parliament passed a law during the Rawlings administration (in the 90s) recognizing t ...

The only solution to this mess is unity. Father of Africa Dr Nkrumah and Bob Marley said it but it seems like is too difficult for us. Africa, unite and get organise. Put the church aside.
These GIS officials;
Marry which men?
The already Polygamous Ghanaian men?
To say Good Lock and Good Luck would surmise Sarpong!!
So the A,A's have forgotten that it was corruption which sold them into slavery? America Chinese go back to China and teach new technology. Please come home with your tech-know-how.

No A.A. can come back to Ghana or any part of Africa to teach technology...if the country can't keep the lights on! Now ask yourself, does China have blackouts for days across the country? If not, technology can be taught.

Sorry sisters and brothers, I am very saddened. Cant we show love and understanding. They are not corrupt as in Ghana.
ghanaian leaders should be ashamed. our leaders and the police officers are the most corrupt people in the world.
GHANAIANS HAVE BEEN KALABULE SINCE DAY ONE . GHANAIANS PREFER BOKO HARAM THE MUSLIMS FROM THE NIGERIA , MALI , CHAD , NIGER AND SOMALIA MORE THAN PEOPLE THAT EVENTUALY BROUGHT BUSINESS TO THE COUNTRY .
these ghanaian leaders should be ashamed.

We certainly must not loose sight of these trailblazers who have and continue to make life easier on the black race.
Would you like to marry one of these old women sitting there? O.K, leave your girlfriend and contact me because I have one old widow waiting for you.
Shameless Ghanaian. Don't feel for this elderly African Americans, some who may be coming with their dollars to invest.
Let me see them again. Who invited them to Ghana at all? Ghana is not America so if they don't feel like staying in Ghana, afterall they are Americans. Fuck them
We American taxpayers send millions of dollars to Ghana while your corrupt government steals it. Stop begging the west if you feel that way.
Nonsense, what is the unemployment rate in America? America has its problems as well
So they should stay in their country. I don't see what contribution they are bringing to Ghana. If they have spent their entire lives in American and want to retire, they should retire to Florida or some such place.
Yes, I agree with these complaints. I am born in Ghana, I am a GA and each time I return home, these officials wants something. Bribery is a hindrance to a civilized culture. Look at Russia.
GHANAIANS ARE CRIMINALS TRYING TO DUPED ANY FOREIGNER - AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE OUR OWN BLOOD . NKRUMAH TRIED TO BRING THEM BACK .
Ghana is full of thieves who are really interested in you because of your purse and how they can use strategies to milk the money from you via their funny stories. My advice never trust any one but yourself. Never trust anyon ...

I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE IN THE SAME PREDICAMENT IN GHANA.
we need to change our ways as quickly as possible.
As an African American I say the US government should stop giving money to Ghana until corruption is cleaned up.
USA please don't give our government a single dollar until we clean up our act.
Your own US government vagabonds are corrupt even before Ghana
Kwasia, African Americans have very little to say about what's going on in the U.S government. We from Africa are even treated better than them by the whites so stop your foolishness. This is why I regret being in the same co ...

it is good to see how we are viewed in Ghana. Not surprising. Just like Africans are viewed in the U.S. by us. some of us love them, others hate them. we all suffer the same sickness. lack of unity and togetherness.

Shut up and stop complaining. There is no perfect situation anywhere. Be grateful being allowed to be in Ghana!
Some people love passing through the back door into a room, thus they become aggrieved when the back door is closed to them. I had visitors in December, 2014 and none of them paid bribe to any immigration officer.
Well, well, well. This is the true bane of Africa. Nothing really works and yet we have demented and semi illiterates acting as a president and Ministers of State using our meager resources 'looking' for investors. This is a ...
