I suppose the name "Tettey" made you think he is a Ga. Yes, it shows he has Ga-Adangme origins but the writer is just as Ewe as Fiifii Kwetey. It is a long story.

Everybody is complaining bitterly but very few dare speak the truth . We shall never move forward until the undeclared war against the Akans, discrimination of the majority and anti Akan propaganda hate agenda is resolved. One must fight fire with fire , war with war not kisses or playing ignorant to the reality . the northerners , ewes , Muslims and other traitors of the Akan interest are systematically destroying the future of the Akans . There is no democracy or govt of the people and by the people but the slow establishment of the caliphate of pepeni murderers using a system of corrupt govt that makes irrelevant all institutions of state in the form of a Saudi style monarchy of mahama and his brothers . Despite our huge potential and the fact that any true patriotic nationalist govt can definitely turn the economy around in less than 6 months , we are bogged down in this situation of undeclared war of the ayigbe and pepeni mafia who have hijacked all institutes of state . only a bloody revolution will set us free . everything we have predicted over the past few years has come to pass and there is more evil to come until we stand up accept that we are at war and must fight back. Even Obama now realizes this caliphate is a serious threat to mankind's peace and unity . All religions are from God but over time the devil ensures the good is interpreted by the wicked and used to cause harm , the righteous know religion is meant to ensure unity and goodwill amongst men not pain and suffering or discrimination. On one hand we have the mafia ndc killing our people's future and around the corner nana chooses as his closest allies northerners who will continue the agenda of hate , wait for the clarion call for freedom and spare none of these criminals in the political oligarchy of corruption and evil . JJ and his ayigbe criminals started this process and God will continue to punish us with hardships and pestilences if we do not stand up

I can almost hear you telling this story...so familiar to many of us!!! It reminded me of when they took my "tiger fruit"...and all I could say in horror was "can't you at least look at it?". They disrespected my fruit by taking it with a glove and dumping it in a trash bin in such a cold manner.

By the way Immigration officers do not check Luggage let alone food stuffs and condiments,Customs officials do that job.

Is your story made up???

Your point noted - but to the uninitiated, the border guard security, immigration and customs all prowling around at the airport can be difficult to distinguish, especially when is protecting his gari contraband!

You didn't read the piece properly. The writer didn't write that Immigration checked his food items. See the paragraph starting thus:

"With this first immigration hurdle cleared, I was soon reminded that I had a second, less ominous one – that of passing declared food through agricultural security checks...."

See, he did that at another check point! Customs or whatever, but he was very precise.

It's not a big deal, I sometimes confuse the immigration and customs, they all work in proximity. All diasporians have our own experiences with customs and immigration.
