A new theory! Must he be yellow or white before he can be considered a British?

There's this Ghanaian wrestler in WWE who tried to deny his ancestry by claiming to be a Jamaican. His thick Ghanaian accent gave him away and he was disgraced on the stage.

grin grin grin
Is that not Kofi Kingston?

He later went to Ghana to present the WWE belt to the president

the concept of sending money to parents doesn’t exist for children born abroad. His current legal fees that he cant afford, did you hear any of his children assisting?

He don’t know 😂

The responsibilities of a parent is not on the shoulder of a child in most foreign countries. He lived his own life, wether he planned it well or not is his damn business.

If he travel to Ghana 🇬🇭, the kids may never visit to see him ever again 😏

that’s abroad for you.

His kids will be sending him what? Think again.

Foreign kids don’t see their parent’s responsibilities as their own.

Get your findings straight. If he leave there, he’d better put things in place to help me cater for himself, else. Na shege pro max.

The kids may not even come Ghana if he die and it’s normal to them. Any silly excuse is enough for them, school, vacation, sick or battling depression 😂

The man sef no visit his parents after his studies but busy living his life in UK and getting married to two women and giving birth. 44yrs, you never visit your parents or siblings. Until the parents die.

70+ people still work for themselves in most foreign countries. If you can’t work again and take care of yourself, they’ll take you to care homes. No child will take your full care and all that.

Tax payers money is used to take care of those in care homes. No one puts his life on hold to cater for older parent abroad (some countries esp US).

So, live right and take care of your health when you can ✌️
I am in awe with this insight. I don learn. So the concept of family support system based on the African culture is not applicable over there. Nawa o.

State/Govt own every individual. Even here, that’s why you have limited rights over your kids. You have no right over another child.

As the man can’t pay the 10k pounds, the children no even send him and the government.

Na home training dey make care so much about family over here. It’s fine though.

But it’s getting slim this days, no more interdependency between extended family members. Unlike before.

Just know that WWE is scripted. Except you watch a Hollywood movie and think people are truly dying.

Him denying his ancestry may actually be part of the show.

Okay but I don't like the family system over there. Civilization really has a negative impact on core family values over there.

See this charly, using coup that happened a century ago as an excuse not to go back to Ghana. It took his mum's death to awaken his brain and remember his home country.
He better go to ghanaian embassy and obtain ghanaian passport.

But if you don’t have a passport of a country, then how do you claim to be a citizen?? You can reside and work in a country and enjoy every benefit that citizens enjoy but that doesn’t make you a citizen! For more than 40years, you didnt apply for passport because you thought it was your country, when nor be say na there dem for born you! You are an immigrant that has stay and work permit! That’s all
he's even lucky they didn't bundle him into one airline and send him back to Ghana. Or to Rwanda where UK now send illegal migrants.

He can relocate to his homeland and enjoy the rest of his good life, since he has grown up sons in the UK who are British. For one thing, he won't suffer material lack cos his sons will always send him money for upkeep.
If I were him at his age I will say "Bleep British citizenship" then I will head back to my homeland where I will likely die and be buried in peace and with honor.
none of his children will send him shishi

Law was made for man not man for the law. Common sense and good morals help to keep the society sane even as we apply the law! This is an obvious injustice.
which injustice? Did he apply for British visa after his studies and they didn't give him? Or Britain print passports and start sending them to the homes of upright migrants? The guy is ghanian, let him visit ghanaian embassy
Re: Ghanaian Man Told He Is Not British After 42 Years In UK by Pennilessword1: 12:55pm On May 17
Well he should have been in the process and not waited for anyone to ask him . The law is the law.
As soon as he got married he should have began his pathway to be a legal citizen. You don't just suppose that they will grant you citizenship like that.
Because you painted and tiled a house and made it right while you are a tennant doesn't make you a landlord.
Same thing happened to Charlie Chaplin.

Most citizens of any given country don't have passports. People only apply for passport when they want to travel. Having a passport is not a requirement for citizenship. It is a requirement for travel though.
but he is obviously not a British citizen. He's ghanaian, he should visit ghanaian embassy.

how many friends will he know/Have at 77yrs? as uneasy as it is,let his British children fund his comfortable resettlement back to Ghana..
Since the coup affected his education,I guess his parents were possibly one of those corrupt civil servant/contractor converting 1000 to 100000 back in the days grin
So much for karma
which coup? Last coup in Ghana was in 1981 by Jerry Rawlings. 43 years ago. And this man has not stepped foot into Ghana since then.

He is a Ghanian citizen who for the last 30 years or more believed he was a British citizen.

Not for an immigrant!!! After spending the required years and meeting the citizenship requirements, you are to apply for citizenship and when you pass, then you become a passport holder, which makes you a citizen of that country!

In this scenario though, we don't have an individual who sees himself as an immigrant. He sees himself as a citizen. Back to the post you quoted. Most citizens of any given country do not have passports. They only get it when they need to travel.

He made a mistake. But that's not to say he should be happy with where he is from. Not everyone Japa because they are looking for greener pastures. It's just unfortunate for him.
