@Ghanaman, thanks buddy. A lot of people don't know how the system works here in the advanced countries, especially here in the UK. It doesn't matter how long you have lived here for, or since when did you become a citizen, if one day they woke up and found out that you became a citizen through a deceitful way, your whole life could come crashing down. Does anyone remember Mo Farah - he was only pardoned because he was a national hero.

If you watch the video, you will realize that the refusal for her to return is not coming from Ghana. It is the UK that is refusing her the right to go back.

The UK government knows that the cost of chemotherapy treatment is very high and will put a burden on the tax payers and her insurers.hence the denial. I don’t think they will ever work things out for her. It’s deliberate, it’s a planned work . They simply can’t tell you why they are doing that but it’s all about the cost of her treatment.

The UK is different from the US, you don't need health insurance for any treatment. So far as you have worked there you would automatically be paying health insurance through a mandatory deduction called NI (national insurance) contributions including tax deductions so every British citizen is covered by this. I've lived there for 28yrs but now living in Ghana.

81-year-old woman, how many years has she left on this wicked earth? If she should die today, will those manning the 'system' that rejected her jubilate? Whether it the Ghanaian or the British government, they should consider her on age and health grounds. In her youthful days when she was very energetic nobody saw any discrepancies in her age; we are living in a wicked world!

The Windrush has been a controversial immigration in recent times. Those that are affected particularly, Carribbean decent and other Commonwealth Nationalities. Before 1973, anyone from these were allowed entry into the UK and we're considered citizens. Many affected did not seek to naturalise as British Nationalise, because they didn't need to. Many married had children and grandchildren even great grandchildren and their grandchildren travelled only for them to say you ain't British because your roots, mum or grandparents didn't have the right of abode in the country. It's a system error of the British authorities on immigration.
The woman needs a lawyer that understands the Windrush immigration laws to support her.....not just any immigration lawyer, over its discovery, there are good lawyers on that subject. I would advise, one checks with their immigration status before they travel to avoid some of this situation.

If she was white, they would do everything to get her back. Karma caught up with them when their white citizen was caught up in a similar situation in Sweden with medical problems. They urgently negotiated with the Swedish authorities to offer treatment to their citizen who had no residency status in that country, but they deported a Ghanaian citizen on a hospital bed receiving cancer treatment during Kufuor's time. The lady passed away not sooner than she arrived in Ghana

By the way did you read the story properly?
At her age you think she will be able to get all the support she needs without her own children.
It’s a pathetic story to read about her. She needs empathy and sympathy seriously. Let’s look her case from a humanely point of view. She needs help!!!

I am not being superstitious here,
But please someone get them a very serious prayers before it gets out of hand.
It seems the old lady is spiritually grounded by her own family members in Kumasi.
She has been traveling back and forth with same documents for nearly 40 years, so
why this time.
We were all here when Dr. Thomas Owusu Mensah, a Ghanaian - American Chemical engineer and a Global fiber optics developer came down to help Ghana develop modern
Sky train and other things during Akuffo Addo’s presidency.
This man could travel anywhere in the world as a global icon in the field of engineering.
He went to Ashanti and got locked down there in some village and could NOT get out
Until he died there and was buried like a nonentity.
A great mind of global status got wasted during Akan NPP administration here in Ghana ooh. Dr Thomas Owusu Mensah died just like that in his village in Kumasi somewhere ooh.
Please get this old woman some fast Hot and Intensive Pentecostal Intercession Prayers, before it is too late ooh.

A Ghanaian holding a British passport means a British though, born in Ghana. How can she gets her pension fund? Of course the British government pays her pension at her age 81 years old. I think something is wrong somewhere.
