Incredible figure. Togolese refugees alone are more than 4 million so how do they came by that figure.

Yes, Togolese who have become a force to reckon with, are over two million living in Ghana as if they are Ghanaian Ewes so, where from this 20,809 figure?

A poor nation like Ghana should not entertain such huge influx of refugees. The question is if we are so stupid like those countries who cannot reason but love to invite havoc on their nation, will these refugees come to Ghana?

There are no jobs to absorb these people and in the end, they will end up uniting with gangs to terrorize law abiding citizens for no apparent reason.

Why will armed robbery not be on the increase in Ghana? Most of these refugees come from war torn countries, and I can bet on my million dollar ass that, some of them are "fleeing military personnel" and rebels who have complete experience of the use of arms and ammunition. ( Have each one of them been properly screened be granting them permanent residence? )
I, as a Ghanaian, don't give a dog damn how UNHCR is gonna take care of these so called refugees, but did Ghana cause their plight wherever they're coming from?
No more wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone and the ravaged countries, caused by their own greedy leaders. Why don't UNHCR seek to
resettle them back in their own countries rather than someone else's country?
President John Mahama and Ghanaians, let's look at something well oooooh?

Ghanaians open your eyes oooooooh , these are one of the ndc rigging machine to stay in power come 2016.They are intergrating these people so they can vote for them, you need not allow them to vote, I don't understand why Rawlings allowed these refugees into ghana whilst other countries didn't take them, why didn't they go to Nigeria,Senegal, Mali, Guinea but Ghana ? I'm telling you Rawlings has made ghana no man's land, which means anybody at all can come and reside here and be ghanaian automathically hence we have a lot of non-ghanaians in the ndc who are ministers and ghanaians are suffering whilst they are enjoying.Ghanaians, I'm telling you if you don't stop that tribal talks, you will wake up and find other nationals enjoying your wealth.NDC is full of non - ghanaians so they don't want the unity of the country, always using the tribal talk to divide us so they will have their way to steal our resources.I feel pity for Ghana.Ghana is now being managed by people from Niger, Burkina Faso, Togo and Bennin. Ghanaians STOP THE TALKING AND RECLAIM YOUR LAND, your forefathers fought for this land for you.

In South Africa, refugees and asylum seekers are being killed, beaten tortued by south africans each and everyday. Especially our brothers and sisters from Zimbabwe, Moqzambique, Malawi etc. If the home affairs gave you asylum paper, in attempt to renew the sme paper, you will be arrested and send to a place known as DENDELA.These Home Affairs people treat others africans like animals. South African are not complying with the UNHCR rules, they do what they want to these refugees and asylum seekers in their country. They should know that NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT.

My brother ! They are protecting their country, you ghanaians are being ruled by people from Togo, Bennin, Burkina Faso and Niger bcos you haven't protected your country and non-ghanaians are in charge now.South Africa doesn't want this to happen to them, these refugees are being intergrated into ghana for them to vote for ndc so as to continue with their incompetency and thievery and real and true ghanaians are quiet about this? Are we fools or what ? These people are taking over ghana not by war but by our idiocy, bcos we are not united we are divided by tribalism and that is what they are using against us to climb to the top.Ghanaians need to stop that idiocy called tribalism to reclaim your country.Ghanaians need to stop voting for ndc as that means voting for non-ghanaians.Vote for cpp, ppp, npp or pnc for GHANA.
