        That is what it means to be an African in this age. Slavery must have ended but the sufferings of blacks in other ways is continuous

        I’m sure they still charged her visa fees. Modern day slavery. You pay for a visit visa. They deny you. For whatever reason but never refund your money.

        Home Office should tamper justice with mercy so that the woman's life is saved.

        Africa would have been better if they were colonized by the French. France wouldn’t have denied a Malian or an Ivorian visa if they were going for something like this. But Britain. Sigh.

        But they had the nerve to colonize Ghana and root it’s natural minerals and now they can’t even help somebody because he doesn’t earn enough? What makes these people think their country is the best and/or that everybody is desperate to live there???
