Those motherfuckers in the NDC have even fooled their own Ghanaian citizens. Where is the so-called National ID Card which Atta Mills displayed his own to the public a few years ago?

The reason the NIA are enforcing this duplication of public records, apart from extorting $120 (in the non-Dollarized economy), is so that they can then sell your ID (and all associated data including passport details and fingerprints) to the highest bidder. One assumes the bids will be in USD, too.

I totally agree with the students. Isn't the same Ghana government that, about a week ago, tried to forbid hotel owners from charging US dollars from foreign guests? Double standards.

Get this, Mr Tobi: the only reason why the Ghana government is squeezing money (dollars) out of you is simply because, they know that parents, including Ghanaians who can afford to send their children abroad to study are very rich and will akways pay no matter what. Now, tell me if I'm wrong that your parents in Nigeria are among the poor folks.

Fool upon all the monies these guys have been paying, where are the infrastructures to show for it? Lights off everyday even for days at a stretch sometime.

No running water except if you have borehole., roads are fast becoming un drivable , sewage system is zero,,, open raw sewage everywhere .

Just to get a common permit from the authorities, you have to pay bribe. Police demands bribe so often it's unbelievable especially driving from Accra to Kumasi .

To get a meter for your electricity in your house needs a bribe or else they they bring some huge bill foy you. inflation are at the highest, with price for basic commodities are rising fast that salary.

Cedis have been falling fast against other currency...

Armed robbery now write letter openly to tell you that they will be coming to rob you. These are now common in Kumasi ...

Kwasia , I can go on and on and these are from real Ghanaians that live in Ghana not diasporians that haven't got a clue about what's go on.

I am ashamed that even students from African countries are being treated like this in Ghana of all countries. At the same time I am happy that they are all witnessing the type of government Ghana now has. Why all these cheating, corruption, and disgrace, NDC? Apart from taxing even condoms, cutlasses, hoes, and combs, you receive money from our numerous natural resources including now oil. You collect loans from outside. You have borrowed more than all government before you have borrowed combined, yet Ghanaians do not see any development during your time. What you have only achieved is you have made some few Ghanaians millioneers in dollars at the expense of the poor Ghanaian. What at at all would this small amount you are trying to dupe these students from our sister countries to pay do for you.. I am glad that they have also tasted the type of government Ghana now has (NDC) and they can tell a lot about the corrupt NDC government and the stolen elections in Ghana to their parents when they go back home. WHAT A SHAME NDC GOVERNMENT.

So these guys believes the way to win the sympathy of the government is to refer to the legitimate law of the country as scam! This is a very crude way to go. I'm a Ghanaian studying in the UK and i'm made the to pay similar fees, we pay for biometric id card, pay school fees and huge visa fees. Are these students saying that the are ECOWAS so Ghanaian tax payers should subsidise their education? Ghanaians pay less because their education is pay for by Ghanaian tax payers. The students should ask themselves why they are studying in the first place. Somebody paid for the to country to run. It is done everywhere. It is shocking the sense of entitlemet from these prima donners

Reponse to Prince about EU student, please do not misinform the public, for a an EU student to qualify as a home student they must have lived or worked in the UK for 3years to qualify for home fees, in any way the EU gives each member country billions each year to support their ecomomies, how much is ECOWAS giving to Ghana for anybody to claim the right to live in Ghana for free. The last time i checked Nigeria was deporting some Ecowas nationals because they are in their country illegaly. This idea that Ghana is trying to fleece Nigerian students is very nuseating! Why should Ghanaian tax payers pay for Nigerians to enjoy?

This students have a right as ECOWAS citizens not as Nigerian or otherwise, be wise to always debate issues within the context. How can an ECOWAS citizen be subjected to the law as other non-African or non-ECOWAS nationalities, its unfair. Nigeria supplies Ghana gas and other ECOWAS countries as a very subsidized rate, and we saw the effect when the gas pipeline was broken for months there was electricity shortage through out Ghana which is the reason why there's another tariff increase by ECG, yest ignorant Ghanians think Ghana can stand alone. ECOWAS citizens needs to be treated as second class citizens, that is the essence of the union.

The Foreign ID card is not a scam...It's a head tax. There is no reason to have this card other than for the government to take an additional $120 off of foreigners. This is the law of the land...and I have abided by it. However, the politicians are trying to dress it up to make it something that is a benefit to foreigners. It isn't. Instead of implementing a whole additional level of beauracracy, why not just increase the residence/work permits by 200 more ghana cedis? I think the reason is that this money is going to another ministry. It's another ministries idea of getting more funds.

Ghanaians need to think through these things. Don't put so many barriers for foreigners to come and work/invest in your country. Most people don't like nigerians...and there are a lot of bad ones...but the Nigerians who are coming for higher education are benefiting the ghanaian economy. They buy food, lodging, transport, books, entertainment, etc. Ghanians should want more people to come and spend/invest in Ghana...so why put up more and more roadblocks?

The issue concerning the ID card should be addressed properly, why the ID card- Most migrants come to the country to change their Identity, Ghana is not having a system to identify its own citizen and acquiring Ghana passport is as easy as ABC. I think the ID card is a way of protecting both Migrants and the citizens as a whole, can you be carrying your passport every where you go? the ID card is the best way to go about this issue. if you talk about the amount being too much, its well explained but the ID card should be given to foreign student in that way it will help stop crime and promote better integration.

i study in china as a foreign student and i must say that foreigners don't need any id card of that sort. All foreigners have your passports and must have a valid and appropriate visa on it. The immigration office must enter all needed information onto their database when given a visa. Banks, hotels,house owners, tickets agents etc are required to demand passports with valid visa before granting services. what will be the use of foreigner id card when it doesnt contain the visa?? Can't we integrate all the id cards(voter id card, ssnit id card, nhis id card, nia id card,) into one electronic database (networked)and issue just one eCard to be accessed by the police, immigration,BNI, birth/death registrar, Electoral c'ssion, banks, NHIA, SSNIT, IRS, etc?? Why do we create soo many institutions with thousands of Directors,CEOs, managers, Board of Directors and many workers trying to solve the same problem of Identification?

Bla bla bla typical nigerian nonsense! Abeg all nigerian students should withdraw from Ghana and let the Ghanaian economy collapse! what arrant crap is that? who cares about nigerian students studying in Ghana? did any one beg nigerian students to come to Ghana? Ghana is doing you nigerians a great favour by admitting you into their educational institutions. your mates back in nigeria are at home as I type because of ASUU strike. if nigerians don't want to respect Ghanaian laws, then they are free to leave Ghana. is there anything wrong in saying nigerians (whether students or not) can leave Ghana if they are not prepared to abide with our laws? or can Ghanaians go to nigeria and dictate to your govt? what kind of nonsense is that? if Ghana implements a law stopping foreigners from retail trading, nigerians will rise up and say they ate being targeted. when the foreigners registration exercise started, every foreigner in Ghana has been complying. only nigerians are complaining because perhaps they think Ghana is one of the states in their country. meanwhile, the same nigeria conducted its own foreign registration exercise a few years ago, which Ghanaians in nigeria complied with.now that Ghana is doing its own, nigerians have the audacity to complain. what rubbish is that? and you said nigeria helped Ghana in the past- what specific help are you talking about? how much money has the nigerian government given to Ghana. Give me all the details. I am curious to know. and if indeed nigeria helped Ghana in the past, then I will say you and your government are the most stupid people on earth. your country nigeria needs all the help it can get. what is life expectancy in nigeria today? 52 years. your roads are terrible. look at the state of the seme badagry road! it is the worst road in the world today! what is unemployment level in nigeria? 80% for graduates! that is why kidnapping,boko haram and armed robbery are all over the place. so instead of using your resources to improve conditions in your country, if you use it to 'help' a country like Ghana-which is doing better than nigeria on the UN Human Development Index- then you qualify to be called a fool.

This is a reflection of Ghana's BLACK NEO-COLONIALISTS' greed and blatant disregard or ignorance of Black History. Still upholding borders drawn by Europeans (see "Scramble for Africa").

Ghana's identity card is a slap in the face not only to other continental Africans, but more so DESCENDANTS OF AFRICANS WHO WERE ENSLAVED. It's known many Africans were sold into chattel slavery by certain Western African tribes for trinkets --today for 120 USD?!..wth.

Foreigners Identification Card is a Scam - Foreign students in Ghana
