  Hello and welcome back to the episode of Panther Lawrence
• 0:06
  here. How are you all doing?
• 0:07
  Hope you're doing great. Well, today's episode don't talk
• 0:09
  about Ghanaian presidents. Ghanaian presidents have sold
• 0:11
  those out. Ghanaian presidents have sold W
• 0:14
  Africans out. Ghanaian president is collecting
• 0:17
  money from the United States right now to deport Africans W
• 0:22
  Africans back to their country. Now for some of you who don't
• 0:25
  know, Donald Trump since he resumed office has been clamping
• 0:29
  down of on immigration, illegal immigrants, especially the
• 0:33
  criminals, not just Africans, but Mexicans, everybody that is
• 0:39
  illegal in the United States, ICE agents are arresting them
• 0:43
  and deporting them. We all know the story of Simon
• 0:49
  Gubadia. Simon Gubadia is chilling in
• 0:51
  Nigeria and Dubai at the moment, but U.S.
• 0:56
  President, he just want to catch and deport.
• 0:59
  They approach Nigerians to say take back your criminals, so
• 1:03
  take back your illegal immigrants that in the US, we
• 1:07
  want you to take them back and we're going to pay you.
• 1:10
  The Nigerian government refused and said that if they have to
• 1:14
  deport them, they have to deport, go through the right
• 1:16
  process and deport those illegal immigrants or the Nigerian
• 1:21
  illegal immigrants. Now Donald Trump was not happy.
• 1:25
  He sanctioned Nigeria or Nigerians travelling to the US.
• 1:29
  There are different visa interviews that you have to go
• 1:32
  through right now to get to the US.
• 1:35
  Now Ghanaian president, he was approached and he was like, yes,
• 1:38
  how much are you paying? I paying in dollars.
• 1:41
  You know, Ghana, they like dollars.
• 1:43
  They don't really regard their CDs.
• 1:45
  If you're buying a house in Ghana, most of the houses are in
• 1:48
  advertising U.S. dollars. So we all know the story of
• 1:54
  comedian Michael Blackson, who decided to invest in Ghana.
• 1:58
  He brought about, I think, $10 million into Ghana to build a
• 2:02
  school and to run the school or Ghanaian government took that
• 2:05
  money and used it to pay loans that Ghana are currently owing.
• 2:11
  And they're still owing some money, but he's been battling
• 2:16
  Ghanaian government to try to get back those loans.
• 2:19
  I don't know if he's successful at the moment, but that's still
• 2:22
  ongoing. Now the Ghanaian president,
• 2:24
  Chechen dollars was approved by Donald Trump to tell him that.
• 2:28
  Listen, I need you to take African immigrants or African
• 2:32
  criminals the way they are called that are illegal in the
• 2:35
  United States. Nigeria, they've refused.
• 2:39
  What about you? We're going to pay you some
• 2:41
  money. We're going to give you
• 2:42
  incentives. Ghana said yes, now there are
• 2:47
  five other African countries that has accepted example
• 2:51
  Rwanda. Rwanda not just accepted from
• 2:53
  the US, they also accepted from the UK, although UK they've not
• 2:57
  started, they've not initiated that agreement with Rwanda, but
• 3:03
  the US president has actually started.
• 3:06
  Ghana President said, OK, that he's going to accept, but he's
• 3:11
  going to just accept W Africans because West Africans, they have
• 3:16
  visa free from ECOWAS. He wouldn't want them to come
• 3:19
  into the country and then he's trying to get visas to send them
• 3:22
  back to their country. But if they are West African
• 3:25
  countries, he can just put them on a bus and ship them back to
• 3:30
  their countries. So about 16 people arrived from
• 3:36
  the US and Ghana shipped about 15 of them to Nigeria.
• 3:41
  Now this is making rounds because people are thinking, OK,
• 3:44
  that that cannot be true. But Ghana, the Ghanaian
• 3:48
  president came out with his full chest and released the video.
• 3:51
  Let me just play that video for you.
• 3:52
  Now watch. We were approached by the US to
• 3:59
  accept third party nationals who were being removed from the US.
• 4:06
  And then we agreed with them that W African nationals, you
• 4:13
  know, were acceptable because all our fellow W Africans don't
• 4:19
  need a visa to come to our country.
• 4:22
  So if they decided to travel from US to Accra, they don't
• 4:25
  need a visa anyway. So if you're bringing our
• 4:27
  colleague W Africans back, I mean, that's, that's OK.
• 4:31
  And so I think that agreement has been activated and a first
• 4:36
  batch of 14 national scheme, several of them were Nigerian
• 4:41
  brothers. Several of them were Nigerian
• 4:44
  brothers. Ghana, Ghana.
• 4:49
  What is going on? Ghana?
• 4:52
  I think Ghana is tired of immigrants.
• 4:56
  I don't even know. I don't understand what's going
• 4:58
  on in Ghana because Nigerians are complaining about Ghanaians.
• 5:02
  Ghanaians are telling Nigerians to go back to Nigeria.
• 5:05
  This whole thing started when I think the major problems started
• 5:09
  with trades in Ghana. Ghanaians, I don't think they
• 5:13
  are known for business now. Nigerians arrived Ghana and
• 5:17
  literally took over. According to some Ghanaians,
• 5:22
  they said that that all Nigerians do is business and
• 5:27
  they don't even allow their they sell cheaper rates than their
• 5:31
  Ghanaian brothers, so they couldn't make much profit.
• 5:34
  So they had to sometimes, most times leave the business for
• 5:37
  Nigerians to run. So what happened was that the
• 5:40
  Ghanaians had an agreement with the Nigerian communities or the
• 5:45
  Nigerian government. I don't know who they had the
• 5:46
  agreement with to say that Nigerians are only going to
• 5:49
  supply Ghana with whatever goods that they want to sell and then
• 5:54
  the Ghanaians are going to do the retail business.
• 5:57
  But some of the Nigerian traders are saying that once they supply
• 6:00
  Ghanaians with maybe goods, all the goods that they need, the
• 6:04
  Ghanaians will retail resell and they will not remit the money to
• 6:08
  to them. So they were like, OK, what's
• 6:10
  the point? Why don't we go into retailing
• 6:12
  So that some of the the Nigerian traders said that was how they
• 6:15
  got into retail or got back into retail.
• 6:18
  So that became a problem. Now most times you know that the
• 6:23
  traders are mostly from the east.
• 6:25
  My IBO brothers, they like business.
• 6:29
  So they were now clashing with Ghana and the Ghana, some Ghana
• 6:33
  authorities, the government, they now decided to appoint SND
• 6:38
  bona Ghana. He was appointed I think in 2000
• 6:42
  and he said in 2011 or 2013 or something like that, he's been
• 6:48
  the king. He said he's settled so many
• 6:50
  disputes, He's done so many things.
• 6:52
  Now Ghanaians are angry. Ghanaians are angry that
• 6:56
  Nigerians are they? They have a king in Ghana.
• 7:01
  They said that that is against their constitution, that is
• 7:04
  against their rule. And then the Ghana SND bona
• 7:07
  Ghana is saying that he is not a king.
• 7:10
  He is just kind of a political head appointed by his IBO
• 7:15
  brothers to help settle disputes.
• 7:19
  And if you see this man's throne, I'm like, come on,
• 7:22
  that's too much. How can you go into some of this
• 7:26
  country and intervene them? His throne, his throne is
• 7:30
  actually very you can see lion, you can see gold.
• 7:34
  He's sitting on the throne, his foot raised.
• 7:37
  I'm like, you guys know what you're doing.
• 7:41
  If it's just as any Buna Ghana, you don't have a kind of a
• 7:44
  throne or a palace, maybe that would have made sense, but
• 7:48
  Ghanaians are not having it. They said that Nigerians must
• 7:51
  go. This is no longer Ghana must go,
• 7:53
  but Nigerians must go. So my point is that Ghana
• 7:58
  itself, they are saying Nigerians must go, but Ghana has
• 8:02
  also signed a, an agreement with the United States to say all
• 8:08
  Nigerians in, mostly Nigerians in the US are going to be
• 8:13
  deported back to Ghana and then Ghana who in turn ship them or
• 8:18
  put them on a bus back to Nigeria.
• 8:20
  So my brothers and sisters, my Nigerian brothers, if you're in
• 8:25
  the US and you're thinking, OK, Nigerians, they can't deport it
• 8:29
  to Nigeria. Ghana has accepted and if you
• 8:35
  are not, we've not travelled and you have plans to travel, to
• 8:39
  travel to the US or to travel to the UK or to travel.
• 8:42
  Make sure that you're travelling legally.
• 8:45
  If you have to go back to school in Nigeria to gain some
• 8:48
  qualifications, to make sure that where you actually going
• 8:51
  to, you can get jobs and extend your visas.
• 8:55
  If that is not the case. My brothers, my brothers, my
• 8:59
  sisters about mission because this is this is like Ghana has
• 9:05
  set a precedence whereby, OK, right now they're just accepting
• 9:09
  W Africans. But the truth is, is going to
• 9:12
  they're going to offer him more money.
• 9:14
  They're going to give him more incentive.
• 9:17
  Donald Trump might even say, listen, we're going to waive
• 9:20
  visa fees or we're going, they're going to do something
• 9:22
  that would encourage the the president to start accepting
• 9:27
  every, every African nation, every African national that is
• 9:31
  in the US or in the even in the UKUK right now.
• 9:35
  There was a 1,000,000 March yesterday.
• 9:39
  What was the March for? They are tired of illegal
• 9:43
  immigrants. They said that illegal or just
• 9:46
  even legal migration, not even illegal immigrants, although one
• 9:51
  thing that they were complaining about were the boats coming from
• 9:55
  France, it coming illegal into the UK, But that is also morphed
• 10:00
  into something else. People are marching on the
• 10:03
  streets. They said that they want to take
• 10:05
  back their country. They don't want immigrants.
• 10:08
  If you're black, if you are, if you look Asian, they just look
• 10:14
  like it's it's, it's a bad situation.
• 10:17
  And they are saying that these people are coming in, even the
• 10:19
  legal ones are coming in and seeking asylum.
• 10:22
  And then they're giving them, you know, special treatment.
• 10:26
  Everywhere is hot right now. There's this other lady that
• 10:31
  somebody mentioned that she had about 30 million in Nigeria and
• 10:35
  she's looking forward to do with the money.
• 10:37
  She's seeking advice. She's saying that we should she
• 10:41
  use that 30 million and do business in Nigeria or should
• 10:44
  she use that 30 million to process her papers to travel,
• 10:48
  process her visa to travel. And I'm thinking 30 million if I
• 10:53
  was in her shoes. US OK, You want to go to Usus is
• 10:58
  on fire. You want to come to the UK?
• 11:00
  Yesterday there was a 1,000,000 match against immigrants.
• 11:04
  You want to go to Canada? Canada is they they they they
• 11:08
  are tired. They are literally closing down
• 11:10
  their borders. Where exactly do you want to go
• 11:13
  to? Everywhere right now is it's not
• 11:16
  just Nigeria. Everywhere is tight.
• 11:19
  Everywhere is tight. Nepal overthrew their
• 11:22
  government. So sometimes people think, OK,
• 11:26
  where you know you are things are not working.
• 11:31
  Once I get to the other place. If you go there, if you have a
• 11:35
  plan, are you able to travel legitimately and you're able to
• 11:40
  get a a job where or you get a job even before travelling.
• 11:44
  That is fantastic. Don't go and suffer. 25 is
• 11:49
  remaining about less than four months to, to, to, to, to, to be
• 11:53
  over. Don't say people did not tell
• 11:56
  you if you go to the US without proper documentation, Donald
• 12:00
  Trump is going to deport you to Ghana and Ghana is going to put
• 12:04
  you on a a luxurious bus, nice bus and ship you back to
• 12:07
  Nigeria. Let's be guided.
• 12:10
  Let us be guided. Before you travel, do do your
• 12:14
  due diligence. Don't just go and collect
• 12:16
  somebody collecting COCOS money from you.
• 12:19
  You can actually go online and get a job.
• 12:21
  There are so many people in Africa working any money AAI
• 12:26
  machine prompt is something that you lots of people are doing
• 12:28
  right now to make money, to earn dollars.
• 12:33
  I think the problem is people don't want to upgrade people.
• 12:37
  There are so many jobs that AI is going to wipe out.
• 12:41
  If you're not constantly updating and upgrading yourself,
• 12:44
  you're going to land on the chopping block.
• 12:47
  And if you do, or when you do, make sure you're able to
• 12:51
  transition. And if you're in Africa and you
• 12:55
  want to travel, do your due diligence anyway.
• 12:59
  What do you think? Do you think that Ghana sold us
• 13:02
  out or do you think that they are doing the right thing
• 13:05
  helping their citizens to to travel to the US without much
• 13:09
  restrict restrictions like their other African countries
• 13:13
  counterparts? Let me know what you think.
