Is Ghana A High Risk Country?
We
now live in an “Animal Farm” world indeed. Ghana, Nigeria and India
have been tagged as high risk countries by the UK Government. Therefore,
any one from the aforementioned countries planning to visit the UK
should be prepared to cough out an amount of 3000 pounds as deposit to
serve as a bond to prevent such a person from overstaying his visit. If
he overstays the amount will be used to defray the cost of overstaying
in the UK. The UK Government is simply telling us that we are not
welcome anymore in their country. If it is a matter of the UK Government
needing money to shore up the economy, they should not be shy to let us
know so that we contribute generously, for even the Holy Bible says
that “God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). What goes into
the term “High Risk Countries”? The UK Government should give us a vivid
explanation of how they came by that term. They colonized us, exploited
us, sold our ancestors into slavery and made us producers of raw
materials and we have remained like that ever since they set foot on
African soil. They used our resources to build their country and now
that they have seen that Africa is rising up, they want to find all
means possible to take the little money that we have from us. This
immigration policy must be reviewed as all the countries targeted are
likely to respond appropriately. When did Ghana become a high risk
country all of a sudden? Our government should review her foreign
policy relations with the UK Government and make sure the interests of
her citizens are fully protected. All the countries targeted by the UK
in their new immigration law are countries that had been exploited by
the UK in the past, Ghana, Nigeria and India. They exploited,
impoverished us and now they say we can’t even visit what was built by
our resources!!!!!! What a world?
