Ibrahim Adjei, former Assistant Secretary at the Office of the former President, Nana Akufo-Addo, has appealed to foreign nationals seeking to enter Ghana to do so through legal means, stressing that while Ghana remains a hospitable country, illegal migration poses serious challenges to national order and security.

His remarks follow a round-up by the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), which led to the arrest of over 2,200 undocumented foreign beggars from various parts of Accra. In the operation, a total of 2,241 foreign beggars, including 384 adult males, 525 adult females, 577 male children, and 755 female children, were apprehended across eleven high-traffic areas in Accra.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s Breakfast Daily on Monday, May 19, Adjei supported the government’s efforts to enforce immigration laws, but warned that the problem could persist unless entry through Ghana’s borders is properly regulated and continuously monitored.

“When they come back and they are arrested and sent back immediately, eventually, they will get the message. No one is saying Nigerians or any other nationals cannot come to Ghana. But please, come legally, so you can enjoy the hospitality that we are known for,” he stated.

Mr. Adjei emphasised that illegal immigration cannot be completely eradicated, but consistent enforcement would serve as a deterrent over time, expressing concern over the repeated re-entry of undocumented migrants, pointing to systemic weaknesses in border management.

“You can’t cure every single illegal migrant; that’s not realistic. But with repeated action, over time, the impact will be felt. Ghana loves you. But come the right way,” he appealed.
 

In 1969;
"Ghana deported over 3 million Nigerians and other African and non-African immigrants in 3 months"

Imagine what a Western industrial nation could achieve leveraging every power at its disposable.

But no, we must have infinity niggers and dunecoons in perpetuity
The problem was always the ruling class of the West. I don't blame the dunecoons and Niggers nearly as much for taking a golden ticket.
It is the fault of our own politicians, media and academia, never forget them and never forgive them.
 
Ghana demonstrating what to do with liberal migrant policy:
 
One of the five successful African countries, and they enforce their borders, wonder what that could mean?
Ghana is interesting because their population has sussed out agriculture. Their cocoa industry is a huge part of their exports.and good for them. They've managed to sort their shit out,and make it work. I don't begrudge them it. It makes you wonder, if they can,why can't other countries?
 
I've sung the praises of Ghana before. Nice country. Very poor but lots of people doing what they can to make life better with very, very limited financial resources available. Friendly to tourists and plenty safe for women traveling without men, at least in the coastal areas (there's always some weird shit happening inland in Africa, the further you get from a coast the more indigenous religion etc. is present). Food isn't great but not a big deal. Very easy to use local transit and get out of the tourist areas. Beautiful local handicrafts (especially Ashanti goods) at prices that made me wish I had some kind of international shipping connections.

One thing that's interesting about Ghana is that it's a country where the women do a huge amount of the work. Ghanaians are almost like lions, where the male in the relationship does as little as possible while the female(s) do most of the work of providing. There's a fair amount of polygyny in the country and women's workforce participation levels are high, with long hours. Ghanaian women are also more likely to start their own business than Ghanaian men. There are a huge number of Ghanaian men who have some "job" they claim to work at but who mostly spend their time sitting around doing jack shit, while they're actually supported by their wife or wives. Benin, next door, is very similar in terms of gender roles.

I've often thought about this somewhat unusual arrangement when considering the plight of African-Americans descended from slaves.

Africa is not a country. Each area of Africa has its own unique cultural fingerprint. But Ghana, particularly in the Cape Coast area, is the place where the largest transits of African slaves specifically bound for North America were from, as well as Benin.

Today we see that in African-American slave descended populations, women are the dominant force behind cultural and economic life. Women in the black, slave-descended African-American population are more likely to participate in economic life and are the primary drivers of this population, while the men are shiftless, with more of them than any other race's males happy to rely on their various baby mamas and actual mothers and state institutions rather than economically supporting themselves.

The trade winds and Islamic slavers made the Slave Coast an attractive prospect for the transcontinental slave trade, but the culture of the very specific areas where slaves most commonly came from may have had a significant and ongoing influence on racial dynamics and workforce participation for centuries.

Maybe they are at the better end of African countries because they sold off their useless, venal, and deviant populations to the Americas?
