Why accept Nigerians when they could have been deported there? 3 months 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?

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.

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?

Cheapand unguided comment. We are not addressing free movement of decent law abiding citizens in W. Africa under the ECOWAS treaty.

We are speaking of deported people with shady background whose own countries of origin are refusing to accept, and Ghana is accepting them just for the immediate gain of a small amount of American dollars.

And for your information, such arrangements (ie Ghana accepting these deportees from the USA),are done against the background of some gain (financial or otherwise) for the recipient country.

So my first question is what did Mahama/the NDC government get in exchange for accepting these deportees?

Nothing but a crooked and corrupt deal with an evil and corrupt Trump. President Mahama should be ashamed of himself for entering into this corrupt deal. Ghanaians must be appalled at Mahama's action., for this isn't the first time he has quietly entered into a dirty deal with the USA in exchange for dollars or thousands of visa lotto annually for Ghanaians. Why condone Trump's evil act of dumping his deportees in African countries? President Mahama is wrong, for this is nothing but a corrupt and crooked deal. Shame on President Mahama, and even more shame on that evil and corrupt Trump. It's sad to see Africa's visionless leaders falling for the dirty dollars that Trump dangles in their faces to sell off their countries.

Hi folks! Why blame Mahama alone? Okudzeto Ablakwa, the idiot who never worked before he became one of the babies with sharp teeth should also be blamed. He might have negotiated the deal as a foreign minister and brought it to Mahama. Ablakwa was easily fooled into accepting the deal because of his deficiency on international deal making.
The opposition should press for more details. If they don’t, they should be blamed for complacency.
