  1. I wish the article explained how this happened at all. Is it because Ghana is in the commonwealth? Did he have the right to reside in 1977, or something else? A valid visa to enter and never left again? Anyway congratulations to him! Hope to get mine soon as well

  2. Looks like he was told he isnt a citizen in 2019 but he ran a fund raising campaign that caught fire and forced ehe home office to change their mind. I can already see my uncle posting on Facebook about how Labour bent the law and let an immigrant skirt the rules. Good luck appealing to these people Labour.

  3. hasnt been back to ghana since the 70s and couldnt attend weddings, funerals and vist family, very sad.

  4. Did he abide migration laws at the time or not?

    Coming in as a student and living here for half a century doesnt strike me as a free pass to circumvent immigration rules.

    I just wonder what made is case ‘exceptional’.
