"No matter what, home is sweet home. Be appreciative; it is the Ghana passport that made you. We are still third-class citizens even with the passport! Ghana, my motherland, any day. Yankee is about work, work till you die. Chairman, you forgot to tell them the passport comes with a lot of responsibilities, anaa."
@Busia Emmanuel commented:
"Live and die here; don’t go to Ghana. We are all in the US here. Even the citizens of the US don’t show their passports and they see nothing with that. Appreciate your country. I'm proud to be a Ghanaian!"
