Stop being stupid. If Nigerians are capable of acquiring Ghana passport, whose fault is it? Is it for US to determine that they are Nigerians instead of Ghanaians?

I suspect that all of these people will permanently vacation in Ghana very soon, if Trump carries out his xenophobic agenda.

This is what happens when you have a country without a leader. The leadership we have is so corrupt that they breed corruption. Ordinary people copy their criminal ways of doing things, and this is the result. Ghana’s name has been severely tainted abroad and many Ghanaians are no more proud of their country. Let’s do the right thing and stop this decay. Vote for a change. Vote for the NDC and Mahama.

This is entirely correct. Ghanians who abuse the privilege of being granted a US visa by overstaying their granted period of stay only make it more difficult for other Ghanians to apply for and be granted US visas. The visa application process and requirements are defined by US law and apply to all nationalities but there is nothing to prevent the incoming Trump administration to deny ALL visas to a particular country with a high rate of overstayers. Trump is the very definition of a fascist. That includes a large dose of racism and xenophobia. He has already stated his number one priority is to deport as many aliens as possible and is focused primarily on black and brown people. Remember, Trump has referred to the "sh*thole countries" of Africa the first time he was in power. There is no indiction that he has seen the light and changed his bigoted attitude. While the law is he law as far as immigration goes, fascists always find a way to ignore the law by finding some excuse to do so. Thousands of visa overstayers from Africa is likely to give him that excuse.

Really?

Look, I personally have proof of this when I worked at the Airport in one West African country. I had security clearance, so I was able to get to them when they got off flights. I had to tell the local police how to identify Nigerians holding Ghana passports. Eventually, I clashed with one of our lethargic Embassies for refusing to take action, especially when some of those Nigerians were drug traffickers.

Most of the Ghana passports Nigerians held at the time were made directly at the Passport Offices in Ghana, and some made for Nigerian prostitutes in Italy during Akufo-Addo's tenure as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

This is why black people from impoverished countries in Africa,find it difficult to get any sort of visa, into
Australia, based on non-compliance
to visa requirements. Immigration officials don't have time to run around the country trying to catch overstays.....They have more important things to do......That's why African Countries are classified as a HIGH RISK.... to enter Australia. And visa's hard to get ,even a tourist visa.
Because people don't do the right thing,and leave when they are supposed to..

@atuguba frafra, he was convicted but not sentenced yet, that makes him a convict.
A person can be convicted of a crime and won't spend a minute in jail but would have it on his records as a criminal unless reversed.
