    The problem with so many people returning is they mainly reside in one of 2 cities - in this case Accra. You need to convince natives to accept strangers - you end up creating inflation with people having Euros,$,£ to spend whilst many others survive on weak currency.

    There is no ethnicity called black oe white or coloured.
    People are refered to as
    Black Americans and
    Americans
    The Caucasian never refer to themselves as Caucasian
    Americans.
    They just say they are Americans, everybody alse must have an ethnicity adjective added for description

    We are not interested in home coming ceremonies, we are primarily interested in FULL Citizenship (To include voting rights and competing for political office). Then and ONLY then could we say that we are, at long last, "welcome home". To move to an African county and not be granted equal citizenship is both an insult and foolish, for one can only pay taxes and be financially exploited by the Govt of that nation.
    The twisted Irony is that African immigrants can move to the U.S (for a better life) and obtain Full citizenship in a relatively short period of time, meanwhile, there are African Americans whom have lived in Ghana for more than 30-40 years and have not been granted "full" citizenship. These people have contributed to that country in ways that native born Ghanaians who left for western nation would never consider.
    This needs to change.

      While it might be true many lived there for many years without citizenship, they really could do almost everything local Ghanaians did except voting. Many Ghanaians apparently don’t vote! The Ghana government is working on streamlining citizenship for the diasporans but I understand Covid and economic conditions derailed the bill in parliament. Let’s hope the next government of Ghana picks up from wherever the bill was left off.
