This is wrong information...

No one is paying anyone. Rather it seems the Ghanian government is the one bearing the cost from Ghana. Ghana isn't making any money.

I watched mahama say that out of the 14 sent to Ghana... majority of them were Nigerians and since the cost wasn't much they were put on a bus and sent to Nigeria.

He said they was a Gambian and since he couldn't go by road and required air flight they sent a message to the Gambian government and were awaiting their response. Meaning they didn't want to bear the expenses for the flight!

ChristineC:
Smart move by the president.
That's a whole lot of Forex inflow and human resources for Ghana.
if these returnees come in with an average $30,000 per adult, they will spend it or invest in Ghana.
I think Ghana got this one right.

DomPerignon:
The cost he is talking of is the cost of bussing them back to Nigeria.

The US paid Ghana just as the UK is paying Rwanda to accept deportees as well.

Do you expect the Ghanian govt to go into details on how much the US is paying them to accept taking in deportees?

Trump's govt is paying countries that are accepting not only deportees but also paying counties like El Salvador to take in violent criminals in the US prison system .

Onewazobia:
To what end, why not bring them directly home.
Certainly there's something about this matter of deportation

I would make more research on this...

But right now I doubt. Especially based on his comments. Because he specifically made it sound like they bore the cost from Ghana to Nigeria and he didn't want to spend Ghanian tax payers money on the expenses for the Ghabian.


But I am not arguing with you because I don't have the facts. But what I deducted from his comments!

DomPerignon:
The fact that he made mention of the Gambian citizen who had to be flown versus that of the Nigerians that were bussed back should tell you that Ghana was not ready to spend out of their budget.

Do you think the US govt won't have made provisions to Ghana to house and then repatriate the deportees back to their countries of origin?

In Rwanda, the British govt even built housing to accommodate asylum seekers whose claims are to be determined from Rwanda and not on British soil.

Make dem sha no see ur post before them go deport ur son.

Asylum seekers are also different...

To buttress my point this is what AI said:

"The US has agreements with several countries to accept deportees, but the terms of these agreements vary. While I couldn't find explicit information on whether the US pays countries like El Salvador to accept deportees, it's clear that these agreements are often tied to other diplomatic and economic considerations.

For instance, Ghana's decision to accept deportees from the US was accompanied by trade and visa restrictions imposed by Washington, including raised tariffs on Ghanaian goods and limited visa validity for Ghanaian travelers to the US ¹.

In the case of El Salvador, the country has agreed to accept non-national criminals deported from the US, but the details of this agreement are not publicly disclosed ².

It's worth noting that these agreements are often part of broader diplomatic efforts and may involve various forms of cooperation and compensation. However, without more explicit information, it's difficult to say whether the US is directly paying countries like El Salvador to accept deportees"!

DomPerignon:
The Trump admin paid the El Salvador govt $6mil to accept and house 300 Venezuelan criminals from the US prison system to El Salvador's mega prison .

That is a whopping $20,000 per prisoner and I am sure it will include other trade , diplomatic and military concessions benefiting El Salvador.

No way the US isn't going to pay Ghana something tangible upfront.

Can you please post the link...?

brain54:
You are saying a different thing now boss...

Ofcourse the US government would beat the cost of sending them to Ghana, the housing and every other logistics involved.

The point I was making is Ghana wasn't receiving any form of payment/profit from receiving the deporties.

Exactly why they didn't want to spend their "personal" money to finance flight expenses for the Gambian.

With the Nigerians they felt the sum was negligible.

So I was right to say Ghana wasn't benefiting "directly" from the arrangement!

DomPerignon:
Story.

The US govt always deploys their most powerful weapon - the mighty US Dollar as soft power

US that was even paying the Taliban and other warlords in Afghanistan despite waging a war with them?

America's greatest soft power is the USD

Ghana got paid but they are not going to say the did and they may even insist as part of the deal package that the US govt keeps the details of the deal classified outside congressional oversight.

brain54:
Ok boss...

But these are for violent criminals and extreme deporties etc.


They are some others that get deported by ICE for no other reasons than because they have no paperwork and so are illegal entities or entered the US illegally.

I think that is what this one covers.... not for violent criminals!

DomPerignon:
And I am telling you that there's no way the US govt won't pay Ghana to serve as a hub for dumping West African deportees from the US.

They chose Ghana because of her central position in West Africa and its political stability

Imagine the Tinubu govt accepting any such deal and how the opposition will tear at him for doing so.

Wonders shall never end is trump sick or wha why not just send ppl back to their respective country . Nah Ghana wey dey form big breda funny past

Most countries of the deportees have refused to accept their citizens back.
