    When we have our leaders running to take care of themselves in the UK and forgotten about the masses, why will the masses not seek any opportunity from any Country.

    Tell your leader first to solve our problems and the huma ...

    This is a wake up call and I'm glad the Brits have exposed their sycophancy to show their true colors. All they want from us is our wealth. If our leaders are listening, it is about time that we gear up to build our country t ...

    The decision is purely based on statistics i.e. % who enter the UK and never go back to their native country and staying in the UK illegally. Those guys you are asking to represent Ghana to stop this policy cannot change this ...

    Omo I hope you know how Ghanaians look at the government of Ghana. If the government has that crazy money, there would not be the need to float bonds to build our infrastructures.

    It was Nana Akufo-Addict who caused all these. Nana pretended he was sick and left for London. His main purpose was to organise London Toilet Cleaners Union,Ghana chapter, spearheaded by Rockson Adofo to demonstrate against ...

    There's got to be something wrong with a nation when its youth and intellectuals aspire to leave for other nations in search of a better life. Ghana yearned to be free from the British and we did get our freedom. But the work ...

    That is the truth. Selling everything we have, frauding everyone one in our way, just like oyibo has done. We are following oyibo footsteps.

    Unless "we cease from man and look above" either for blame or for comfort we will not find answers.

    This stupid, draconian, racist, discriminatory policy will hurt UK economy in the long term. Visa fees they rake here and the targeted countries will go down. Let us educate our people that there is nothing special in the UK ...

    Are you saying we should go and dialogue? Dialogue with someone who looks down upon you and makes racist decision? I think we should rather say fuck them.

    IF you apply for visa to Afghanistan, instead of paying, they rather give you $3000.00

  • Neb Nosidda 10 years ago

    Every nation has a reserved right to determine who and how many visitors it can accomodate. Britain is bursting out. This is visible in London; hence, this segregational approach to immigrantion. Eventually, other countries i ...

    The article says that "It is also fact that several overstay their visa". The current figures are that there are around 400,000 Ghanaians in the UK who do not have a visa or valid residence permit.

    400,000 !!!! That is aro ...

    Ras. Not a bad article but half baked and lacking one major aspect. The UK is rammed packed with Ghanaians. Over 300,000 are already there. Although some are working legally and of benefit to Britain the rest are there simply ...
