1..His father never worked at the Embassy and has no links in the embassy
His alleged deportation came when he became an informant to the Israeli immigration and reported and got many Africans to the authorities to be deported
When he was not having more to give because his cup was full he was apprehended by the immigration to deport him.
He then contacted one of the the Israeli Tv stations and cried for help
He was aired live on Israeli TV several years ago and he said all what he has done.
Then the government decided to keep him here
His son may he be BETTER and make Israel proud of him and by so doing his fathers bad deeds could be forgotten
But his fada Kwabena Teng suffered many africans

May Almighty Allah forgive you and convert you to Muslims. There is no true religion in the world than islam. Jesus Christ, may peace be upon him, recommended the Holy Prophet Himself. So, you better become a Muslim and stop this hatred because you can't do anything about that.

This is a litany of lies. His father indeed worked at the Ghana Embassy and the records are there. How can you be blinded by jealousy, hatred, etc and spew such lies? I wished Akwasi Afrifa represented Ghana, but this is what fate has made him. Please stop your misinformation and misrepresentation.

I do not know where people get the idea that when you are born in country you automatically become a citizen of that country. Many children of diplomats and missioanries would have been citizens of shit-hole countries

You would think that a nation whose people were victims of the holocaust will at least show compassion to others. Israel is a racist country which discriminates against its black citizens and treats them with contempt. The guy was born and bred there, yet he was denied citizenship and nearly deported until he joined the army ready to die for a country that treated him like dirt, before they granted him citizenship. Ethiopian jews had to fight, beg and plea for Israel to recognize them as jews, yet any white person can move from Europe to Israel and be granted automatic citizenship and land that they have ceased from the Palestinians.

The world always expects the reasonable beings to always sacrifice while the idiots who initiate the mass killings are sympathised with. Would Israel have just invaded Gaza if it had not been invaded?

The issu÷ here in this article is about Afrifah and his parents. Stick to the script and stop making references t. tHe hilocaust in germany and ehays going on between Isreal and Palestine. The parents were in Isreal illegally and I'm glad the constitution has been amended for children born in Isreal to live there. It's no fault of their own where they are born. I'm happy very happy for Akwasi Afrifah and hope his genuine opens more doors and opportuniti÷s for good Ghanaians over there in Isreal

Bro. The fact that Israel is committing atrocities in Gaza does not mean you should deny the holocaust.

Those accusing Israel of maltreating foreigners, why don’t they go live in Gaza or Syria or any of these Arab countries?

Really. You should ask Ghanaians who are residents in Israel. His father was the immigration informant and a thief who was telling immigration officers where Ghanaian citizens live so they can be deported. I’m an Israeli resident. Secondly his father was stealing from Ghanaians families when they are out working. Do you know a number of people who his criminal dad help deported and end up dying in Ghana with nothing? He and his family don’t deserve any headlines because they have many victims blood on their hands. Anyone can cross check from Ghanaians in Israel
