John Tsikalotis, a British citizen who speaks Twi, recently shared his views on immigration and economic issues during an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa’s “Daily Hustle Worldwide” show.
According to John, the UK government has spent over £1.2 billion to accommodate immigrants in hotels.
He highlighted the role of Kemi Badenoch, a Nigerian-born politician in her mid-30s and a Conservative Party leader, in the increasing number of deportations.
He suggested that her policies are aimed at strengthening her chances of becoming the Prime Minister.
John noted that some immigrants travel through Italy, Portugal, and Spain before arriving in the UK to seek asylum.
He also pointed out that foreigners, particularly Asians, Indians, and Pakistanis, dominate the health insurance industry in Britain. Without their contributions, the National Health Insurance system would struggle to function.
He criticized travel agents for exploiting immigrants, stating that their fraudulent activities have become excessive, prompting stricter deportation measures.
He also observed that many healthcare workers, including doctors and nurses, are Black, particularly at facilities like Hammersmith Hospital. Despite their crucial role in the healthcare system, he questioned whether Britain would be willing to dismiss them, considering the shortages in the field.
Comparing the UK’s deportation policies to those of the U.S., he argued that Britain is taking a different approach.
He referenced historical injustices, such as the transatlantic slave trade, when ships transported Africans from Lagos to work for white employers.
John attributed the current immigration crackdown to Kemi Badenoch, whom he accused of using these policies to secure political power. While he acknowledged that racism exists in the UK, he argued that it is not as extreme as in the United States. He questioned who would fill essential healthcare roles if all Black doctors and nurses were dismissed, pointing out that many British citizens prefer office jobs over manual labor.
Switching focus to Ghana, John stated that the country is rich, possibly wealthier than Britain, but mismanagement and ignorance are holding it back. He criticized Ghanaian leaders for corruption and misusing resources, lamenting that past industries, such as the factories built by Kwame Nkrumah, have collapsed. He also claimed that religious misinterpretations have contributed to Ghana’s struggles, noting that Jesus was Jewish, yet some portray him differently.
Finally, John mentioned that many white expatriates move to Ghana because they consider it the safest country in the world, appreciating the absence of harsh winters. He concluded that Ghana’s potential remains untapped due to poor governance and misplaced priorities.
