No one is opposing John Mahama. The result of the last election is what is being challenged. Now, listen. Mahama is not the first Northerner to be elected as president. Limann, who Rawlings overthrown in 1981, was a Northerner and ask who opposed him. None. Asante/Akyems/Kwahus etc are not enemies to the Northerners and these tribes, do not hate Mahama as he is NOT the first Northerner to be president.
If the Supreme Court rules in favor of Mahama, that is fine and no one will challenge him.
Remember that Mahama is not the first Northerner to be president.

Mr. Palmdetti, you disgrace yourself with the article you wrote here.. how?
1. first all you should know by chinese activities in ghana,,that any chinese to come to ghana has no good intension therefore should register at the nearest police station and report every 36 hours to the police to renew his registration until the time for him to go back.
2. ghana immigration is loop holes: invitation to every foreigner entering ghana,, should be done or issued strictly from ghana immigration services as chinese do. no individual is allowed to invite foreigners into china..anyone who wanna invite anyone to china MUST first completed an invitation form at the exit and entry administration service of the police force,,then they examine and investigate,then transfer the information onto official form from their office,,copies of the letter bears: name,,nationality,,age etc and finally the duration of visa issued from home office to the chinese embassy in ghana before the sticker is put in the guest's passport to come to china..even putting the sticker doesn't guarantee the entry into china. at capital airport Beijing,,the guest will face another interview and scrutiny and if possible denial of entry or reduction in the number of days in the visa..when the guest enters, he has to report to the nearest police station and register within 24 hours to avoid arrest and deportation.. to register,, you must provide proof and address and written contract of your residency,if hotel,, you must complete alian form for temporary residence duration stated and room number and address and telephone number..for immigration to come to check you in the hotel..even every hotel in china has a police officer attached to them,so there is no way anyone can just get to hotel here..
3. your statement is so disappointing,, you should know by now and never in your life trust the chinese when they get to kotoka due to behaviour of few who have played your intelligence and found themselves in galamsey...how can you say,, it's difficult getting their intension? are you a magician to know their mind? you wont know so you have to have a very harsh rule at all points of entry..
4. look, check the source and how chinese acquire the visas at the embassy in beijing before they enter ghana.. this should tell you,,they might probably be visa proliferation and racketeering at the embassy,,making jobless and street chinese to acquire visas and flock into ghana for their nefarious activities.Chinese enter ghana and even poses guns,, how? foreigners posseing guns in ghana means invasion.. kofi wayo said it,, how can foreigners own arms in ghana? are you mad? see how they turn the arms on Ghanian's? it is an invasion. look,, i wrote and mapped out some ways to deal with the issue,to minstry of foreign affairs and castle..i compiled 35 page-long article to ghana government,advising them about how to deal with the foreign influx into the country and even aviced on how to have a secluded open market for foreigners who wish to do business in ghana.. if you need copies,, send me your email: [ interbizibec@gmail.com ] how? try singapore with visa free for ghana passport and see what you will smell at the changri international airport,singapore...even though it is visa free... try... very very interesting,,you dan't deduce from their face what they have in their mind when they get to kotoka? it means your security is lose and weak....it pains to be a ghanaian.it really pains

Our Immigration officers are jolly jokers. Are they able to discern genuine passports/Visas from fake ones? Considering how we, genuine Ghanaian travellers are grilled at points of entries of the various countries in the developed world, it makes me cry out my heart for my country. Even when we return home, we are treated very badly by Immigration in fact worse than the expatriates coming into the country. This is something the Government must check.

If you are really the Public Relation Officer of the Immigration Services, make a U-turn and stop allowing "rats carrying plagues" to invade our dear nation.
Most of armed robbers are foreigners and there is a clear evidence to support that.

A policemen stops a car crossing the border between Ghana and Ivory Coast.
Driver asks : “Is anything wrong, officer?”
Policeman says: “No, we just wanted to reward you for being the 100.000th car driving this way. You got 500 cedis What will you do with the money?”
He thought for a minute and said, "Well, I guess I'll go get that drivers' license."
The lady sitting in the passenger seat said to the policeman, "Oh, don't pay attention to him - he's a smart ass when he's drunk and high on Marijuana."
Grandpa from the back seat said, "I TOLD you guys we wouldn't get far in a stolen car!"
At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and a muffled voice said, "Are we over the border yet?"

Go tell this lies to your children and your retarded minded family with your incompetent misfit.
Mr. Palmetti has lost his head and professional credibility for his outrageously despicable and disgusting comments here. As a professional immigration officer, you must expert these unscrupulous racist Chinese criminal neo-colonialists to convinced you beyond all reasonable doubt with documentary proves and guaranteed traceable addresses as to why they apply visas to visit Ghana.
With visas or no visas, it's the duty of the immigration officer at the point of entry into the country to make sure that, the visas given at our missions abroad or shown in the foreigners passport are not fake or with supportive document to get satisfied to allow or disallowed entry into the country as visas are not automatic entrants documents.
Ghana's immigration and national security is the most unprofessional, incompetent, unconcerned and the weakest of all in the entire world over whose immigration ignorancy have contributed hugely to turned our once peaceful, safe and quiet enjoyable nation into a safe havens of all manners of foreign criminals.

The pro is not efficient;he has little knowledge about his job.The immigration service can deny visas at any flimsy excuse.
The should learn America and other western countries.
The issuance of their visas are great financial source to them.They will find every excuse to deny visas so one that reapply and pay more fees.
They have trained their personal to apply both intelligence and psychology at their work.
Ghana immigration service should train their personal in the same manner.
There is a way to determine the intent of anyone applying for a visa.
I hate to suspect that either there is corruption in the service or paranoia of white skinned people being always honest.
So if the pro does not have the requisite skills he should tender in his resignation letter and allow trained and serious people to take over.
His excuse was damp and annoying,to say the least!

I am surprised and disappointed at the immigration boss`s reason for allowing these Chinese people into our country in their numbers. He should know that one chinese city`s population may be equal to the total population of Ghana and so if this continues unchecked, chinese population in Ghana would be more than Ghanaians. We would be minority and the chinese would be our lords because they are given money to go out by their government to colonise weaker countries in Africa and other places. Immigration Officers should start checking their visas and if they are roaming the countryside and cities with expired visas, they should be arrested and deported.

How does anybody account for the state of unusal influx of the illegal Chinese men, women and children into Ghana? And yet these Chinese are not the only illegal entities that enter Ghanaian cross borders without proper entry permits - the Indians, Fulanis, Nigerians, Pakistanis the lot - in this case anybody with ready cash in hand to bribe his/her way in can freely cross the border and allowed in to settle and do business in Ghana. The 419 Nigerian crooks top the bill for paying their way in at the borders. No wonder the popular Ghanaian immigration officers at the borders always seem to be in perpetually well "looked-after" condition. Similarly those officers lucky enough to work at the main sea-ports are normally seen driving the best automobile cars in town. The clinical position of the Ghana immigration service is shamefully well tainted, blackened with undeniable institutional corruption and this is a well-known fact the whole world over, especially by drug dealing mafia gangsters in South America.
