Can you even read atall? Visa free for Nigeria is a West African initiative nothing to do with Nana. This this news is about diplomatic passport between Ghana and Angola diplomats like ministers.
@ NPP THIS ELITES VISA FREE : good show bro, that is waste of our reading time. diplomatic and service passport holders doesn't do much to enter, what they must do to get credit is HELPING THE ORDINARY PASSPORT HOLDERS to acquire the visa free or be visa free. so how will minister of finance struggle to get Angola or south Africa visa?, does he needs S/A , Angola or they need Ghana. get the ordinary holders the free visa entry so they can move to work as others come to Ghana to do same. next time if it isn't ORDINARY PASSPORT HOLDER VISA FREE, don say it. it isn't news if a dog bites a human but NEWS if human bite a dog
If care is not taken before nana addo dies or betterstill leaves office any criminal from countries all over the world can came to Ghana without Visa, rape our citizens, rob our citizens, kidnap our citizens and kill them freely. So far he is the only president you has been waiving Visa for any country's citizens. Even weed smoking jamaicans are waived for Visa. Nigerians are kidnapping and killing your citizens yet he keeps waiving visas for other nations. Does this man care about the safety of his people. Ghanaians have peculiar way of life, if you allow all these persons in your nation freely, you start seeing all sorts of behaviors that we were not used to. I think the NPP government under nana addo is the worse ever. I don't think Alan or addai nimo or any smart person will allow this nun sense. Interestingly, all these countries are very poor countries too whose citizens don't add any value to ours. Already our streets are invaded by all forms of vices and he is inviting more.
MR PRESIDENT I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU STAND FOR THE ORDINARY CITIZENS, WHY IS IT THAT WHEN YOUR GOVERNMENT IS ONLY INTERESTED IN VISA WAVER FOR THE ONLY DIPLOMATIC PASSPORT ?SO WHO CARES ABOUT THE ORDINARY CITIZEN? HMMMMMM NPP
