And so what? What is the benefit for Ghana? We want roads, water, sanitation, refund of Akomfem, Isofoton, Woyome, Tehoda, National Lotteries, Ghana water company, tree planting, Gyeeda, STX, Ghana Ports, TOR, stolen monies among the many. Not panafest and one human being getting a dual citizenship.

I address Hua and King and tell them that this news as important as any other news on Ghana.

First, a nations development is not measured in in terms of physicals only, but also by intangibles such as relationships (the extent of which determines how peaceful the nation is). What satisfies the human soul more than re-uniting with long lost relations, which Sister Rita and all in the diaspora are?

Again, it is a well known fact that such returned relations have often brought along with them wealth - tangibles and intangibles.

So let's appreciate this granting of citizenship to our Sister and Mother AND ASK THE GOVERNMENT TO GRANT MANY MORE TO DESERVING DIASPORANS.

I, whom have been to GH many times, with stays up to nearly a year, know how important this is. Places like the US keep Ghana-born and other Africa-born, now living outside of Africa distracted. Never able to hold still for a moment and deal with the ideas of AWAKE blacks born outside of Africa. Right now I can take 12 Ghanaian-Americans that are diligent and teachable and show them how to create a $10,000 per week USA income (since 2007 I have known this blueprint). But since 80' I have tried to approach GH-Americans, especially the men folk, and NONE have time for me. I even tried to approach a paramount chief in GH to help me recruit Ghanaian-Americans to work with me. With his limited mindset educationally and fear of the Nigerian 419 scam, he thought I was trying to run game upon him. He never did go see his Ancestors so they could tell him I am not about games.
I tried to see a GH minister in 09' but he died just before we could meet.
I even know how to raise $100,000 in less than a month if I could find 5,000 adult AWAKE GH-Americans or black Americans to work with me (the city I live in has over 35,000 Ghanaians in it now). They would not need to donate or do fundraisers any money either. I know affiliate marketing and network marketing. So I know how to combine the internet and a network of people to create wealth (the 5,000 people would even make money). Unfortunately, most folks living in the US do not understand this is the Information Age and no longer the Manufacturing Age.
So imagine if I had dual-citizenship in Ghana? Me, a mere high school graduate, could teach your president and his cabinet ways to make global monies even Phds don't know about. I too am in a group that buys "bulk foreclosures" across the US. Meaning, a group of investors buying several income properties at once from banks that want to unload them. I am a new student in the group. Imagine what I will know moreover in the next 1 to 2 years. I traced both sides of my ROOTS back to GH in 1975.So those inside of Ghana know the importance of opening the door for the AWAKE blacks, born in the diaspora for over 500 yrs, returning Home. Now that Rita is a Ghanaian, I will try to reach out to her. Maybe she can get me tied into 5,000 folks in the US whom are AWAKE? There are black churches in the US with over 27,000 adult members. So if such a church is Africa-centered, i can teach it how to raise over $500,000 in less than a month to help Africa come up in this 21st Century. So asks yourself, is dual-citizenship important?
Asks the Africa-born, standing next to you...CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO CREATE A $10,000 PER WEEK US INCOME WITHIN A 6 MONTH WINDOW FOR 144 PEOPLE INVOLVED? Asks them...CAN YO TELL ME HOW TO TAKE 5,000 UNEMPLOYED OR EVEN HOMELESS PEOPLE AND CREATE $100,000 WITH THEIR PARTICIPATION WITHIN 3 WKS OR LESS? WHILE SUCH FOLKS TOO MAKE SMALL A INCOME ALSO?
Any smart black African country can not lie to itself and say blacks living in the Americas for over 500 years can't bring something POSITIVE back Home to Africa. Asks Rita if I am correct?

Hua, I'm not surprised at all how you see no significance in this. It has all to do with the slave mentality most of our citizens have............

Let me enlighten you abit here and I'm sure you will get the picture one day.

Do you know how much the name BOB MARLEY generates in 'dollars' for Jamaica? And with the foundations set by RITA MARLEY, on his behalf?

Apart from PANAFEST, we Ghanaians should seize the opportunity of her presence here, and by that I mean - Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Brand Ghana, our hotels, chiefs etc. to take advantage of everything about her husband's legacy to also generate funds for Ghana.

Ghanaians in authority and high positions should start thinking......by challenging their minds to be innovative enough to see beyond, just the issuing of citizenship to Rita Marley.

Hua, there's a lot Ghana can and should gain out of this to generate funds to construct for example - quality health centres with well paid doctors in every village in our nation. As the saying goes -
"A healthy nation, is a wealthy nation." In other words, a wealthy nation must have healthy people, a healthy environment and a healthy mindset......to think clearly and innovatively generate funds to do all that you've outlined.

I bet if this article was about NDC or NPP you would have had a lot of insults directed at your fellow Ghanaians. It's about time most Ghanaians steer away from their myopic
views and start thinking deeper than the usual mediocre way of thing and doing things.

I;m sure if you sat down quietly in a room somewhere you can think about ways and means Rita Marley's presence in Ghana can help our dear nation.

However, we should not issue them to criminals either.

GOD BLESS GHANA!

I really am happy for you ma'am. You are back to where you belong and please feel at home. I know you've be residing in Ghana, the Black Stars of Africa, for a decade or so , living somewhere on the mountains at Akropong, and it's proper for the authorities to grant you this request. My heart was not at peace when I read that your house in Ghana got burnt some years back. I hope everything is okay now.

This is food for thought for some of us in the diaspora. While some of us don't find anything good about our country, others like Lebanese, Nigerians, Liberians, Sierra Leoneans, etc are yeaning to acquire Ghanaian citizenship.The name Ghana evoque respect among people of Southern Africa. They respect Ghana for it's intellectuals scattered all over the world, (they see Ghanaians as hard working, intelligent, and good people, skills in football and for our thriving democracy. We really command huge respect outside.
I have lived in a good and properous country down south for more than a decade, but they have refused to grant me PR or citizenship, despite my immense contribution to the human resource development of that country.
I think it's high time I return home to help my develop my country and people. Because there's no place better than your own country.

Kwame, come home. Ghana still remains a peaceful and progressive country.

Look at the beauty of our politics, for example. Just last three days there were some NDC lawyers and Senior officials who were pleading for leniency on the part of the Supreme Court, for Sir John and another, both top opposition NPP members destined to be sentenced to jail for contempt of the SC.

Our economy, though challenged is not that bad; and our beautiful cultural flourishes.

An excellent idea to grant Rita duel citizenship. It is consistent with Dr. Nkrumah's Pan-Africanist vision of all Africans together. Some Ghanaians played a negative role in encouraging the enslavement of our own people. It is about time we offer atonement and welcome to those we may have sent into European enslavement.

This must be extended to all Africans in the Diaspora who wish to be Ghanaians.

The criteria for duel citizenship should be: of sound mind, follow all Ghanaians laws, must have no major criminal record (we have to be careful about imposing mandatory laws against anyone with criminal record. The system in the west imprisons our people recklessly) have transferable professions or skills, have clear proven plans to set up profession (which must include arable farming, teaching, medicine, engineering, business, etc).

Unproductive religious settlements must be rejected. If religious sects have massive verifiable plans for industries or even commercial farming, then a special case must be made.

Ghana is trying to develop and modernise. All efforts must be made to encourage qualified Diaspora Africans to return to help us. But we must discourage stagnation in religious idealism.

Regards.

With her children fully grownup and she herself a grandmother why MUST she marry again?

If your "wisdom" is not aware, let me remind you that most women (especially in Africa) re-marry because they need a man to provide financial support and also play a father's role for their children.

For a successful person like Rita Marley and a grand mother, there is no NEED for her to marry again. The best she may do is to have a boy friend, and even there IT IS NOT A MUST. She can do so, if she wants.

The Government should grant dual citizenship to all Ghanaians abroad irrespective of when they acquired their citizenship in the countries they are residing. I heard the NDC gov't has put measures in place to only accept applications from Ghanaians who became citizens of other countries after 1996. There is no sense in this. If Rita Marley can be offered dual citizenship then why should the government deny a "real" Ghanaian living abroad this opportunity

If we get rid of the looters and unproductive parasites in politics, and invite our brothers and sister in diaspora to come back to their roots,Ghana will make a lot of progress in her development.Ghana needs people who are not work shy,people who can use their brains and work to help the disadvantage in the society.Many of our brothers and sisters in oversea will not sit down unconcern while the poiiticians-especially those at the helm of affairs plundering the couffers with impunity.Ghana needs civic minded politicians who will protect the little assets we have and not dispose of them.Rawlings and Kufuor sold the nation's assets and pocketed the proceed with their cronies.Shame on you all-the unpatriotic nation wreckers.They are in politics to rob the people,-you are prisoners in your own bodies.May the wrath of Allah visit all the greedy bastards who are denying the basic needs of the people.Education without common sense is more dangerous than a drunken driver.-Nana Egyir Aggrey Snr citizen

Politics is the fastest way to wealth in Ghana.. Just compare the ratio of salary of the congressman in US to a school teacher, to the same ratio in Ghana..It is ironic how high the multiple is in the poorer Ghana..And the politicians are not satisfied with their fat salaries, they steal lots more....

.As far as I know, Mahama is yet to declare his assets....At least we have not heard anything publicly that he has declared his assets...This is supposedly a constitutional requirement.

Use your new citizenship to preach and spread the virtues and tenets of rastafarian religion in Ghana...It is not about smoking weed but preaches afro-centrism, self-determination, self-confidence and being your brother's keeper.

Ghana is a country without a philosophical direction...Our politicians are not patriotic but educated robbers in suits. The population is still mentally enslaved. The philosophy preached by the likes of Haile Selassie of equality, dignity and self determination remain timeless and relevant to the situation in Ghana today...You do not need to get involve in politics about educate the believers about the movement.
