We have on several occasions stressed and elaborated the evil Islamic pepeni criminal mafia and the callousness of the hegemony ayigbe ndc. What the ayigbe and pepeni have in common are their intrinsic evil , wickedness devoid of humanity and hatred of the christian dominated Akan majority. Winston Churchill in 1899 then a journalist noted the most retrogressive ideology/religion know to humanity is Islam and now we see the day is coming when the whole world will have to ban that fake religion and go to war to wipe them out from the face of this earth. Islamisation has intensified over the last 3 decades with mosques now in every village or hamlet , we even have a a copy of haya Sofia the blue mosque in the center of Accra. We shall know the tree by its fruits and the fruits of islam are hate ,deceit, lies, murder , destruction, mistrust , hypocrisy and retrogression never fellowship or the the spread of goodwill to your fellow man. Mankind will sooner or later begin a proper war against Islam instead of this botched up miserable attempt to show off their new weapons and toys we see today. Look at our pepeni/ayigbe infested govt and know they can never develop or do anything right as their hearts are black and consumed with hate. Common sense and practical solutions can never be implemented . Chairman Mao Zedong said it doesnt matter if the cat is white or black as long as it catches mice . Our non effective govt can never learn from the experiences and lessons of those nations that have succeeded . The essence of development is the ability to mobilize and unify the majority of the positive elements in our society toward the progressive targets of acquiring technology for the industrialization , increase productivity , secure or create new markets . This is basically what the Japanese , Germans , Koreans , Chinese have done but our govt is focused more on deny the Akans freedom , discrimination and undermining every initiative or effort of the Akans . Fifi Kwetey was one minister in charge of economic planning and development but not once did he open his mouth to outline a strategy or encourage investments in key sectors rather all we heard was propaganda bullshit. . It rotten and stinks to high heaven that true Akan statesmen and intellectuals of proven achievement such as Kofi Annan or Sam Jonah have distanced themselves . Any Akan who has made the naive mistake of joining has been hounded like a dog like Mills , or been setup to take a fall or ended up being falsely accused. Yes there is no party politics rather tribalism and an ongoing undeclared war against Christians , Akans and any who dare think with a free mind. Only a fool believes that a regime born in the blood of the innocent will end with the ballot box , it can only end in war. Our election is going to be rigged with the help of the treacherous traitor Nzema EC and the violence that follows will be used as another opportunity to kill more Akan intellectuals or potential leaders .The revenue of the govt is over 80% used to pay wages that are on the level of pocket money for a teenager anywhere else in the world but still they refuse to do what is necessary to raise the standard of our people because they believe the people weakened by poverty also loose the will to fight back against oppression and injustice , a collective Stockholm syndrome where the victims become willing perpetrators of crimes together with their captors . A miserable state of affairs indeed . As usual these pepeni /ayigbe criminals and their satelite allies such as the some Gas , Adas etc will try to insult me instead of challenging the truths , lately i laugh since they have progressed from calling me a madman , vulgarities against my ancestors or parents to openly calling me NDC . Today in Ghana the biggest insult is to call someone NDC not so long ago we had to whisper we were Akan today is booming from the highest levels and we are proud. A word to the NDC beware of the wrath and fury of a patient man as we Akans are patient until the time is right

In law crimes are classified as misdemeanor and felony. Felonious crimes are serious crimes such as murder, rape, incest hate crimes and treasonable offences if committed in any country the criminal do not qualify for exchanges. To be qualified for transfers the victims or their representatives must agree.

Remember of the prisoners are subject to deportation why waste tax payers money keeping such a person.

It is all about cost cutting.(full stop)

That’s strange. Are we talking about the same country? The Ghana Prison Service is mandated to perform three main functions as shown below. Can it possibly be that they have failed to ‘produce the goods’? Surely not!

1. Ensuring safe custody of prisoners and execution of sentences in a humane manner.

2. Ensuring the welfare of prisoners through protection of their rights and providing them with good health care, clothing, bedding, feeding, recreation, and library facilities, among other amenities.

3. Ensuring the reformation and rehabilitation of prisoners by offering them opportunities to develop their skills through trade, training and moral education.

Ghana prisons are in very bad shapes: mosquitoes, termites, and total filth. At least prisoners are treated by the law in Britain; they pack them like sardines in Ghana, and they are neither fed as well in Ghana.

I just hope that this is not an attempt to set Nayele, the drug dealer free. We still don't know how she and her friends accessed Ghana's VVIP lounge. Her friends have waked free from the authorities.

What is wrong with our leaders. So if someone is convicted for refusing to marry gay and lesbian people in the UK, he would come and serve his sentence in Ghana even though gay and lesbianism are not legal in Ghana? Are the British going to build new prisons in Ghana or they are going to use the same old dilapidated prisons?God have mercy on Ghanaian politicians.

What is the brouhaha about? If you are an emigrant and instead of focusing on amassing wealth and return to help build your nation, you decide to commit crimes then where should your place be ?I am really astonished by all those comments made so far. Don't you lot know that it is the passage through a Ghanaian prison that these criminals could change to be better citizens. Here in the UK, prisoners are even encouraged to become more professionals than reformed and I ask the question, are those Ghanaian citizens in this country here to commit crimes to shame us all?
If you really care for these criminals then let them face the real music and learn to be good dancers.

Folks this is a revise news to deceive Ghanaians that it was not president John Dramani Mahama who actually sign the warrant from Ghanaians repatriation from Britain.The first news was that president John Dramani Mahama and David Cameron UK prime Minister has sign prison exchange.Folks as you may recall president John Dramani Mahama talk to the president about migration and not Dr Ayine folks the media is deceiving you and shifting what president John Dramani Mahama has done to Dr Ayine.To all Ghanaians living on UE countries to all your relatives and tell them not to vote NDC and president John Dramani Mahama because has wickedly sign for your repatriation.As Britain a member of UE when you leave to another country Interpol can hunt you and deport you so tell you relation not to vote Mahama for he careless about you.My prove is that it was BBC news who gave comment to insult Nana Addo.

That is the right move to free petty criminals and save money.
Incarcerating a foreign national any where in the world is very expensive and risky. The prisoner has certain rights and is subject to more protection in prison than their native counterparts.
Some of their crimes could be very petty such as selling some drugs to make money (survival enterprise), Not paying a traffic ticket, shoplifting, Living in the country illegally, prostitution, having multiple wives or husbands. To name a few. All these are crimes that are no crimes in one country but a crime in another country.
These people deserve to be swapped to make room for serous offenders.

Ghanaians are so naive my God,do you guys even know why the British government is so keen to send these prisoners back to ghana to serve the remaining of their sentences?It is because it costs them almost a million pounds the last time a survey was conducted in Britain.So in other to save their tax payers they sending these guys some of whom are die hard criminals for we to foot the bill.These guys committed their crimes in Britain so why should the poor tax payer be asked to foot the incarceration of these criminals?Is thebBritish government going to foot a percentage of the cost to keep these guys in ghana?Did the govt of ghana benefit from the prisoner exchange because there are Ghanaian prisoners in Britain than in ghana.The ratio us not in our favor.Also when the British prime minister came to Jamaica he promised to help build a new modern day prison,why is that proposal not extended to ghana?Our stupid govt dont even ask questions they take any bait that is thrown at them with no reservations.May God one day open the black man's eye to see how the white man is able to manipulate us to his advantage.
