BRITAIN SHOULD RATHER BE VERY FLEXIBLE ON CITIZENS FROM AFRICAN COUNTRIES WHICH ARE MEMBERS OF THE COMMONWEALTH ESPECIALLY GHANA WHO GAVE THEM A LOT OF RESOURCES SUCH AS GOLD, COCOA, DIAMOND, TIMBER, MANGANESE TO DEVELOP THEIR COUNTRY.

UK SHOULD RATHER HANDLE CITIZENS FROM THESE COUNTRIES WITH CARE AND STOP WORRYING THEM WITH VISA REFUSAL AND EXPIRED VISA. LET THOSE CITIZENS ALREADY IN THE UK BE GIVEN AUTOMATIC CITIZENSHIP.

THE QUEEN IS VERY GREEDY. SHE SHOULD HAVE ORDERED CITIZENS OF THOSE COUNTRIES TO BE AUTOMATICALLY MADE BRITISH CITIZENS WHEN SHE CELEBRATED A CERTAIN NUMBER OF YEARS ON THE THRONE. SHE SHOULD NOTE THAT GHANA'S GOLD WAS USED IN THE EMBELLISHMENT OF THE BURKINGHAM PALACE.

Blame the visa bond on the NPP toilet cleaners in London who are always demonstration against Prez. Mahama, who won a clean election last year. I hope they will impose the 3000 pound visa bond on Nana Addict who is gone to London to rally support for his 2016 flagbearership knowing well that he will be no match for Prez. Mahama.

WHAT NOTABLE THINGS HAVE GHANAIAN GOVERNMENTS DONE TO HELP OUR CITIZENS AFTER DE-COLONIZATION. NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. ALL WHAT OUR PEOPLE DO IS COMING TO SUCK THE NATION DRY AND LEAVE SATISFYING THEIR SELFISH INTERESTS. CONSIDERING DEVELOPMENT DURING THE COLONIAL ERA AND RECENT TIMES, I THINK GHANAIANS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF UNDER BRITISH RULE. GREEDY AND SHAMEFUL POLITICIANS WHO WANT NOTHING GOOD FOR THE NATION BUT FOR THEMSELVES. BASIC AMENITIES, WE DO LACK AT THIS PRESENT ERA. LEAVE THE BRITISH COLONISATION OF GHANA ALONE FOR THEY DID 100% BETTER THAN GHANAIANS.

Just us Europe invaded Africa, looted our resources to build Europe, took away our ancestors as slaves, Africa will surely invade Europe. What goes around comes around.

This is a sign that people should find alternative places to go rather than Britain. If it is business I am sure there are equally other countries (if not better) like Britain to do business. We should not wear blinkers.

I am however not in favour of the £3,000 deposit. The British Government should re-think it.

AU will bite on this discrimination or else we shall pull AU down as useless. The tit for tat war Britain will bring on herself will be terrible. Mind you Africa will alienate them as compatriots and we shall close down all their companies in Africa. No more investement from Britain will be tolerated for them to steal our resources. All their expats will be sacked from the related Countries.

Look, tell the British to pay whatever amount to secure tourist visa but how do you know if the money will be available when returning to their country? Do you trust our people can handle and keep these monies to be collected later? Tweakai.

I wish Nick Clegg renege on his promise to block implementation of that visa bond. Our people should be made to sit up and make sure they put structures in place to alleviate the hardship facing the average Ghanaian.

There is a clause and the possibility that those who will pay the money will get it back on returning.

Look at Australia, they have not stop accepting refugees on the main land. Any refugee going to that country will rather go to Papua New Guinea and settle there as a deal has been signed by the two nation.

Why can't our leaders stop their corruptible ways and develop our nation to stop migration. Imagine these nations are underdeveloped, who will love to go there? Britain is an Island and they are feeling the heat immigration is putting on them.

I think if they impliment then we shall also target brits through demonstartions to sack them from Ghana. If they do not need us we also dont need them either. They can keep the budgetary support and we can live our lives if only our governments stop their corrupt ways. Is Zimbabwe dead after snobing Britain? Mugabi is stronger after sacking them from the land and so shall we also do. No brit will be needed on our soil as well.

Dear His Honourable Mr. Clegg you need to know exactly what is happening in your own country. It appears as if you are out of touch with working. I thin you will shoot your self in your foot and non-one else.

This bond thing will only put British expats in danger and yet will achieve nothing significant for the economy.

In my opinion it must be abolished immediately.
