  • Get rid of Nigerian child prostitutes all over Ghana 7 months ago

    Go to any pub or drinking spot and you would see 13 year old Nigerian children lured to Ghans to engage in prostitution. What are you doing about that?

    I have seen some of the scenes on TV and it appears only women and children are being rounded up. Where are their men? The men are the scrap dealers causing so much destruction all over Accra in their search for scrap metals. ...

    @ Dying Elephant, all these immigrants were brought in by the demonic NDC party just to vote for them during elections. It's been going on since the 1990s, and some of them have even become MPs and MMDCEs in the devilish NDC ...

    Ghana and copycat. So if America didn’t exist, how will we govern our nation? Just because ICE is raiding undocumented immigrants, Ghana had to do the same.

    @Obaa Sima I think something must be wrong with your logical reasoning. Is it wrong to emulate good practices from other? People like you don't learn

  • Begging business 7 months ago

    The children are brought to Ghana by mafia crooks to beg and the grown ups collect the money and render accounts with a commission. Modern day Slavery. It is done in many countries. The children are brought from very poor wa ...

    Great move, it should be sustained.

  • Kwasi 7 months ago

    It’s long overdue. Their presence on our streets is both an eyesore and a nuisance, especially at the airport junction. They are either taken off the streets and catered for as refugees or sent back to their home countries. ...

    Why not put a price on them? Anyone who can round up 6 of the children will be paid GHC1000. They're all over, not only in Kaneshie.

    This exercise by the GIS is really commendable. But why has it taken too long for you to act? Still better late than never. Please rid our streets of them and arrest their senders. Thank you.

    Extend the operation to cover Nigerians, Cameroonians, the Chinese and others who have overstayed their visa expiration date. Too many jobless Nigerians doing nothing in Ghana. They have the audacity to insult Ghana.
