Typical Ghanaian xenophobes. How can anyone call fellow Africans in Ghana foreigners? Don't we seek asylum on even Europe and America? Damn! We're just heartless.

And I guess you shouted xenophobia when your citizens wanted Nigeria out because of their ills against folks in the country, too? Frankie, what's wrong with you?

Ablakwaa is the worst performing foreign minister in the history of Ghana. His stupid decisions and irresponsible criticism of opponents makes him a big idiot.

For once I don't agree with MAHAMA and the ndc. If your reason is for a humanitarian, then why not accept only Ghanaian citizens and allowed the rest goes to their various country's? It doesn't make sense. You can't accept NIGERIAN CRIMINALS beeing deported from any part of the world. Ghanaians will punish you severely if it continues.

However it was reported that some of the deportees didnt want to go home. What about them mr. Abrokwa. By the way you are doing well. Many of those who say you are not doing well are jealous or are political opponents

Humanitarian? Ablakwa as a foreign minister don't think about Ghanaians, Donald trump always says American first why don't you tell trump ghana first before you make such decisions, Ghanaians tax payers money will be used to transport the deportees to their country, American and ghana who have money this is a common sense. If it happens NPP time I don't what Ablakwa will say about NPP government.

Illiteracy is a big disease! NPP made the same stupid accusations when Gitmo deportees were relocated to Ghana. Even, asofo took advantage to insult the president. But at long last these same party that made ugly noises came to power and they never turned them back. Ghana for you! By the way, Ivory Coast is currently hosting some Ghanaian refugees.

"NO WEST AFRICAN NEEDS A VISA TO ENTER GHANA" DOES NOT EMPOWER THE NDC GHANA GOVERNMENT TO BEG FOR OR WELCOME USA DEPORTEES who claim to be citizens of West Africa TO BE DUMPED INTO GHANA.

"PURELY HUMANITARIAN" could be a diplomatic expression for "enticing financial considerations".

The deal is "purely humanitarian" could be that President Mahama and Foreign Minister Ablakwa are footing the bills from their personal accounts. No taxpayers involvement!

The government should be transparent in this matter. It is public knowledge that the US Trump administration has set aside huge funds for this illegal immigrant deportation project that they are executing. The US government has special arrangements backed, not only by financial undertakings, with all countries were these immigrants are deported to. Take Rwanda as an example.
Is Ablakwah and friends trying to pocket some millions of dollars at our blind side or what? They better make full disclosure about this deal. Ghanaians are not that stupid.

The decision to take in the west African deportee from the US is a good idea because these people would have ended up in maybe Libya or Sudan . However this decision should have been debated in parliament for its approval prior to its implementation. Anything that is of national interest should be debated in parliament.

Liar, it is this same corrupt Ndc government who took money from the US government and brought two Yemen Terrorists into the country and when the news first came out, it was this same Okudjeto Ablakwa who was going from Tv Station to Tv station to defend the same Mahama government then and as Foreign Minister now he is still defending the government, Now he is trying to use humanitarian to buttress his point, but those deportees, don’t they have countries of origin also on which country Passport did they used to travel to America.Why are you politicians in Ghana so deceitful. You people have been given four years mandate to govern, so do the needful the country is not your family business.

Such foolish comment on the admission of convicts to Ghana. Humanitarian reasons? Wow!
Do you know their offences, fool?
There are more than enough criminals in the country and you bringing in more. These people are strangers or foreigners. Why in your right mind admit them to come to increase the number of criminals in the country?
It is a senseless act of unpatriotism.

Nonsense. You're making that false excuse for humanitarian reasons just because your corruption deal with crooked evil Trump has not been given the reception in Ghana that you were expecting. The ECOWAS protocol that you rely on in trying to mislead Ghanaians about this shameful corrupt deal does not address the dumping of America's deportees on in a West African nation that deportees have no ties to. All you've done is enable a crooked Trump to carry out his diabolical act of dumping his deportees on African soil just because he knows African leaders will easily fall for the dollar. Even the courts in the USA are condemning Trump's dumping of his deportees in African countries, yet here you stand using a lame excuse to justify your deal with a corrupt and evil Trump.
