    You are very very stupid man with no brains.Can you tell us how many Britons or Americans who obtain Ghanaian visas to come to this country can speak Ga,Akan or any of our (Ghanaian)languages

  • Atoklo 7 years ago

    Despite your insults I'll not relegate myself to your level. But I think you're missing the point I was trying to make. What I meant was it was these Ghanaians who have no business coming to the UK because they have no qualif ...

  • KENNEDY AGYAPONG 7 years ago

    Shut up. Your face like bofrot.

  • couselor 7 years ago

    Atoklo has a point there. There may be a genuine reason for checking and rechecking information submitted by Ghanaians' visa applicants by such foreign embassies.

  • Mojo Lee 7 years ago

    Obviously this Atoklo man is what we call in Ga. ONUKPA BUULU. Fraud and corruption is a symptom of desperation. It does not necessarily reflect the character of my beautiful Ghanaian brothers and sisters.

  • Atoklo 7 years ago

    Sometimes it breaks my heart when I see my own people so ignorant. For lack of knowledge my people perish. Most of our people are corrupt let's face it. If you don't know it by now then it means you are one of them. I accept ...
