Ghana is finally flexing its muscle! I thought they said the whole African countries wont be requiring visa to travel - and given that Ghana is inside ECOWAS, this is just straight ridiculous, seems we are heading for Ghana must go version 2.0

Nametalkam,please stop spreading lies here.That Policy was made by Ghana on their last Independence celebration which was some months ago.The Policy was lauded throughout Africa as a good one,and for your information that Policy is for other African countries outside ECOWAS,it does not apply to countries in ECOWAS. For your information again ECOWAS is bringing out an ECOWAS IDENTITY CARD which will be issued to all ECOWAS citizens,with the new ECOWAS IDENTITY CARD you will not need your Passport to travel within ECOWAS and the rest of the WORLD,the ECOWAS IDENTITY CARD is coming out very soon and with it you can conduct your business in all ECOWAS countries.So please stop spreading lies,Nigerian will never need a VISA to enter Ghana,just like no other country in the ECOWAS region will ever need a VISA to enter an ECOWAS country.
