Timoleon: It’s not about how he sees himself ! It’s about who the govt recognizes him as! He is not a citizen !!! Passport are for travels, true! But it’s also an identity carrier! You are a citizen of any country you possess their passport! And as an immigrant who came into the country for over 4 decades, if he doesn’t have his passport, then he’s just An African immigrant who resides there! 1 Like |

Kellie069: Please I'm tired of unnecessary arguments. Go back to the original post I quoted and understand the context of my submission. Don't just create a context that suits you. A context already exists. The original person I quoted asked "if you don't have a passport of the country, how do you claim to be a citizen?' Which I answered most citizens do not have passports. It's pretty straightforward. |

To those who travelled looking for citizenship, you don't get what you don't give. The white will take all they gave to you |

Kellie069:Not every British citizen has a passport, many do not intend to travel out of Britain till death. But his argument his that, given his length of years he has spent with unblemished records, he has married British British ladies twice and have two successful adult kids who are doing well for themselves and the country, if he does not get special award for that, the least the home office can do is to hasten up and issue him a passport. He probably does not know anyone else in Ghana or the way of life. Going back to Ghana when he left as a student almost 50yrs ago will be a quick way to die. He will be like a fish out of water. A total stranger. He will only live a lonely life, more so when he has no money to pay £7,000pounds. Ghanaians will only respect and welcome him back if he is loaded, not a liability. So, in my opinion, his children should fight for him. 1 Like |

The system is rigged against black people Trump said it clearly that they prefer immigrants from white countries One of the highest levels of illegal immigration in America, for example is Canada. But everyone is focused on South American immigrants while the Canadian border is wide open Same with the UK. Eastern Europeans messed up their welfare system, that’s why they left the EU, but it’s the Africans that are in the news. But America is even better than the UK. America has a continuous stay law from a cut off date that allows you to stay as long as you’re law abiding If you live abroad remember to file your necessary papers in a timely manner. No one will remind you, even your taxes until case wan start |

Length of stay does not guarantee you an automatic citizenship, you must apply for it,sir .You should know this since you lived there for so long and also read the tabloids. |

Very irresponsible man. He has not seen his mother for atleast 42 years. Now she is dead, he wants to go for burial. |
Re: Ghanaian Man Told He Is Not British After 42 Years In UK by KTiana: 4:35pm On May 17 |
He is a foolish man and should be deported to go stay in Ghana and learn his culture. So, since 1977 he has not stepped foot to see his family. That was all I saw. Mchewwwwww! |

I don't understand why some of these older Africans don't like going home, even after working for years abroad. We have one that has been in UK for 47 years and has not set foot to Nigeria and our village. His brother recently died and he never bordered. My mum said when his parents died in the 90s, he didn't come. His only brother just died last month, and was recently buried, he didn't come home |

Eriokanmi: I think it is largely because no black-dominated country is developed and measures up to Western countries. Chinese in the West know that there exist Chinese-dominated enclaves they can return to if the discrimination gets too worse (as it is currently happening). That said, having foreign citizenship can be good for employment and travel, but one should not forget his/her roots. Our people have this belief that by having British or American passports, they become an integral part of both countries' histories. No be so. 3 Likes 1 Share |
