The visibly excited man said he is now a citizen of Ghana by choice and not by force.
He told Dentaa Amoateng that visiting Ghana as part of President Nana Akufo Addo’s call for African Americans to return home really opened his eyes and gave him a feel of what a true sense of belonging is like.
“The feeling of warmth and belonging in Ghana is tremendously overwhelming” he said. The middle-aged lawyer who spoke with passion remarked that it is nice getting to know that you move around Ghana feeling accepted by the people and not having to fear whether someone doubts your presence or feels uncomfortable when you are around.
He said that he will forever cherish the date he was made a Ghanaian citizen. “For me December 22 was the day I received my citizenship and that would carry tremendous meaning to me going forward.
I would acknowledge the day every year going forward” he said confidently.
