Known by his stage name Bongo Ideas, Albert Nat Hyde has made fun of the previous Akufo-Addo Bawumia administration.

Bongo Ideas claims that the former Akufo-Addo Bawumia administration would have informed Ghanaians that the US mass deportation exercise had a negative impact on the country's economy.

He claimed that they would have imposed the deportation tax, a new charge that Ghanaians would have had to pay.

As the former NPP government upheld the COVID tax and attributed Ghana's poor economy to outside forces like the Russian-Ukrainian War, Bongo Ideas made these remarks.

"As you are probably aware, the deportation has had an impact on the economy, and we must pay deportation tax," he said on Facebook.


Meanwhile, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Minister-Designate for Foreign Affairs has revealed that only 156 Ghanaians are facing deportation from the US, not 6,200 as claimed by reports.

Undocumented immigrants in the United States Of America are facing mass deportation exercises following the inauguration of the Donald Trump administration.

The mass deportation exercise began immediately after Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration on January 20, 2025.

Trump has vowed to oversee the largest deportation programme in US history and has revealed criminals and gang members will be prioritised in such raids.

Meanwhile, the reports gathered from the Pew Research Center suggest there are approximately 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S.
