59 years of so-called independence and we still live primitively. We are only just living at the mercy of our slave masters. We catch cold when they sneeze or cough thanks to our 'dopey' so-called leaders whose only ambition is to steal our monies with impunity.

Mismanagement of Ghana is gradually getting to a point of no return. Comparing Ghana to a man who is 'broke' and facing dire financial situation, the man's car breaks down, he is unable to repair. Then it comes to non payment of his bills, then finally to little simple things as his belt and shoe laces which he cannot replace. Ghana is tragically in this situation. We are broke like hell, nothing gets done and nothing gets fixed! Well who gives a damn anyway. Each for himself and God for us all. LET THE LOOTING CONTINUE!

Perhaps, the Embassy personnel and some Babylonians may be having fun with this disgraceful situation (schadenfreude in German—having fun in somebody’s mystery), while several Ghanaians traveling to Ghana for funerals, business and short times are suffering. How could they get back quickly to back to work?

I've been to the Embassy three times to help a few out of town Ghanaians to "renew their passports" only to be repeatedly told to come back in 6 weeks.

Yes, the actual REASON why there aren't passport books available is still a damn mystery to us. Folks, this started in November/December 2015 and the damn Negroes haven't resolved the problem yet. Unfortunately, only Delta Airlines accept those Traveler's Certificates.

Questions:

1) Are the passport books printed in Ghana and shipped to the various Embassies around the world or some larger embassies (e.g., USA, England, Germany, Russia, Canada, France, China, etc.) PRINT THEIR OWN PASSPORT BOOKS?? If so, then why can't the Ghana Embassy & Ghana government "subcontract this important project" to some American companies to print the passport books for the meantime?

2) Anyway, are the passport book printing machines in Ghana working and can quickly process applications from visiting Ghanaians, since they can't stay in Ghana for too long?

3) So, after some 60 long years, the Negro still can't take care of his own affairs? Why disgrace Ghana's founder, Dr. Nkrumah, this way having said that "the Blackman is capable of taking care of his own affairs—during Independence in 1957?

4) What about if the “Almighty Cedi Printing Machine” also breaks down, Negro????

**To our friends and families in Ghana, “these passport renewal and new passport books” are causing a huge problem here in the United States and in other countries and I hope the FAT ASS at the ministry of Foreign Affairs would urgently do something about it.

Confusion at its worst. They don't even know the difference between a Visa and a Travel Certificate. Why would a Ghanaian need a visa to go to his own country? I know as a fact that at some point in our history a Ghanaian needed an 'Exit Visa' to travel outside the country. That was in the early 60's.

Passport forms are in short in Accra and elsewhere.

Passport booklets are in short world-wide?

So what can Ghana DO BEST, apart from the usual blah-blah on TV and radio?

Mahama MUST go with his incompetence SHOW

Shame onto to you the ruling NDC Government. I have not seen this before. It is being happened in Europe also. Shame onto you with your bad ideas that people will go home to register and vote for which party do you think person belongs to. That primitive ideas must be avoided. Some people have sent their expired passports for new ones for a long time when you phone to make enquiry,what they say is they have technical problems. What kind of technical problem which takes long period of time to solve? and five years duration is so short,and should be extended to former ten years. I want to tell those with bad ideas that people want to register and vote is a wrong decision because most of us in diaspora don't have time to waste and register and vote as some people with bad ideas thinking.

I wonder why they even celebrated 59yrs of WHAT? All the monies they used in such nonsense can be used to purchase a machine and passport books. How can someone's travel be curtailed by a mere passport from their own country. The country must be ashamed of itself.They don't even care because they know they would rig the elections again. Useless government. It's just crazy.

Gh is broke right now. Didnt you hear Bawumia on his nation wide tours? The NDc govt has mortgaged our oil to China. Also we noe need 6x our oil revenue to py just the interestc componebt of our gargantuan debts. Think about that; so making money available for passports is secondary to the govt.
