    A Shithole country accepting shits from Donald Trump and John Mahama thinks it's a good image for Ghana.Build and develop your country such that other leaders will not be thinking of sending Deportees to you.

  • Why accept Nigerians when they could have been deported there? 1 year ago

    It is strange and funny how a flight to Ghana is shorter than a flight to Nigeria. Why couldn't the 13 Nigerians be flown to their home country?

    Yes, it's bad news! Why would Mahama accept citizens of other countries when they refuse to receive their own people? Aren't we already struggling to send Nigerians, Liberians and Ivorians away?

    Nigeria said no but we said yes to USA? Watch them send all Africans here since they see softness here....

    Tinubu is wiser than John Dramani Mahama and Ablakwa Okudjeto. The USA attracted those West African nationals to their country,so if they don't want them they shd let them leave USA voluntarily.

    Why should Ghana accept those nationals at the expense of the Ghana taxpayer? These people can be sent directly to their various countries. Or is another Guantanamo Bay refugees is in the making?

  • Misimilayi 12 months ago

    Ghana is being paid! Mahama and Ablakwah are silent about that.

    NDC is notorious for doing this dangerous shit. They accepted the 911 criminals sometime ago and they are doing the same now.

    I dont think most Ghanaians are aware that West Africans dont need visas to come to Ghana whether they are rappist or whatever crime they have committed anywhere. They can stay here for up to 3 months visa free. Thats ECOWAS ...

    Visa-free status is not the point. If USA knows their countries of origin, why not deport them straight there? What is the use of this "transit" arrangement?

  • Mr no nonsense 1 year ago
