NPP took money from people to make them part of a delegation and they never returned. Money hungry bastards. I still remember them disgracing Ghana by sending fake sport journalists in Australia during commonwealth games.

Ask Mahama the number of Ghanaians he has taken to U.K USA and Canada as part of his delegation. Some of them worked for the BNI and were my friends.Others too belonged to his Harem and their families. Yes, Mahama was equally guilty of Ghanaians overstaying their visas. So long as such Ghanaians are Hardworking and commit no crimes like our Nigerian neighbors who always try to portray themselves like Ghanaians when they travel outside Nigeria with genuine and usually Fake Ghanaian travel documents. Ghana Passport Officials should do their possible best not to issue Ghanaian Passport and other Travel Documents to Nigerians because a good Nigerian is a dead and rotten one. Even Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Modern Libya want to have nothing to do with them.

It's very shameful when a government delegation travel and some members of the 'delegation' fails to return. That's just unacceptable!

Ghana Government has no influence on people's decision to return or not. Do the Americans expect Ghana Police to come to the US roaming from New York to Oklahoma looking for illegals? We know Trump and his bullying tactics so we definitely know that something was traded. One day, everything will come to light because classified files even become public in America.

They overstay because they return home to be jobless.So many ghanaians who have completed their courses in the UK have also overstayed for lack of jobs at home. I dont blame them. Better to do a bad job here in the UK than to be unemployed in Ghana.Scarce foreign exchange is spent on Ghanaians to study here and when they successfully complete their courses there are no jobs for them to do back home. Just too bad for the nation.

This portrayal is wrong the Asians are even state sponsonsored.what they do well is to strategically place them in jobs to steal USA secrets in their jobs before returning. Ghana has no agenda to harness the talents of those who even go there at their own expense ( just to say it mildly). The Chinese and Taiwanese are stealing information on autonomous vehicles and chips making, patents. Even in Europe they photograph everything left right centre , particularly expired patents they clamour. We in Ghana need such info to assist industries like Kantanka , Ghana Railways information abounds but the state must be strategic and not see such individuals who go to study or work in any foreign country as a nuisance.From the days of Arthur Turk to Genghis Khan cultures have shared knowledge in building techniques architecture cooking mannerisms, etc. The Jollof that we pride ourselves in Ghana was introduced either by the Portuguese or Spaniards during their congquest of the coastal towns. We must rethink our economic diplomacy and unashamedly pursue to the benefit of Ghanaians.

Do you really trust Mahama on this? Once a liar it's always a liar. So nobody should trust Mahama. He was given money by accepting refugees to Ghana, and to glorify his foolishness, he was told they will give his citizens 5 year visa. This has been the norm for a long time, and you should ask yourself why was it changed from 5 years to 3 months? Americans are very smart. They set the trap, and he fell into it. They first of all changed the 5 year visa to 3 months. And then said if you want the 5 year visa, then we have to dump our refugees in your country. And as stupid as Mahama is, he readily accepted it. They just played on his intelligence and because he's so stupid, he didn't even realize how they were playing him. The white man will always see us as fools, by even fooling our Presidents.

Subject: Urgent Help Needed for My Mom in the Hospital.

Dearest

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out with a heavy heart and an urgent plea for help. My mother has been admitted to the emergency ward, and her condition is critical. While I strongly believe and trust in God for help, I know that our physical support as humans is crucial in this critical moment.

The hospital bills are mounting rapidly, and I am struggling to cover the costs. I am asking if you could assist me in any way—whether through financial support, sharing this message, or connecting me with resources that could help.

Every little bit counts, and your support would mean the world to me during this incredibly difficult time. My mother has always been there for me, and I want to do everything I can to ensure she receives the care she needs.

For details on how to support, please contact me at +233591682257 or +233202843240.

Thank you for considering my request. I am deeply grateful for any help you can provide.

With heartfelt thanks,

Absolute nonsense. Entering into a corrupt deal with corrupt and evil Trump isn't what Ghanaians expect their government to do. Obviously, no real details are forthcoming, but Ghanaians know by now that there was a quid pro quo in making that distasteful deal with Trump. What on earth does overstaying on visas have to with that deal? Nothing but lies to mislead Ghanaians on this stinking corrupt deal. Shame on Ghana government for stooping so low to work with tat evil and corrupt Trump. You lied about ECOWAS protocol and a so-called humanitarian grounds for entering into that corrupt agreement, and now too comes another claim of Ghanaians overstaying their visa in the USA. Pathetic. African leaders can 'ty be trusted.
