Hundreds of Ghanaians living in London took to the streets of London yesterday (12th April, 2013) to demonstrate against the current economic, social and political situation in Ghana.
They described the current economic hardship in Ghana and the delay in the election petition filed by some leading members of the NPP as unbearable.
The UK based Ghanaians expressed their frustrations with President John Mahama for his lack of actions over the recent strikes by public officials in the country.
The demonstration took place in front of the English prime ministers residence at Downing street and Vox Africa’s Jones Awuah and the crew were on hand to bring us the proceedings.

Hundreds of Ghanaians living in London on Friday morning poured out in their numbers to demonstrate over what they described as the current economic hardship in Ghana and the delay in the election petition filed by some leading members of the NPP
Looool I don’t get it can someone actually explain what’s going on? Why are they demonstrating in front of Downing Street, what will Cameron do about it? Oh someone please explain to me!
LOL @ the “nkonf3m” matter. But on a more serious note, i co-sign what she said. It still wonder, why the investment in nkonf3m. Lord have mercy on my beloved country.
I dnt think the real educated ones wld take part in this crap. this definitely made of homeless , paperless and jobless pple. NDC, NPP. no political party in Africa or Ghana gives a f*****k aba the ordinary pple. they are greedy bastards.
@kadiga, you’re are a fool are you making sense with your comment Ofui
These people are the Concerned Ghanaians against Electoral Fraud (COGEF). The demonstrators presented copies of petitions to the Ghana High Commission in London at 13 Belgrave Square all the way to No 10 Downing St. cause they want the international community to “support the outcome that produces justice and ultimately lasting peace remember 50 years ago there was a similar demonstration at the Ghana High Commission calling for “free elections” against Nkrumah
There is even rumours going around that Dr. Asemfoforo Calls on Mahama to Come Clean on Mills’ Death
@Dr. Miyagi, LMAAOOOOOO trust the bdoctor to form his own word (AKA COGEF) hahahahahaaa but as usual,i agree with u 2000%…….and lmaaooo @the akomfem lady,she knows daaamn well that the spot on her hand is nooo daaamn mosquito bite hahahahahaaa
@honey, looooool
@Dr. Miyagi, Lol I always read your comments and they always crack me up and I am compelled to comment this time. For a minute I actually thought COGEF was the name of the people demonstrating. You never cease to amaze me. Keep up putting smiles on peoples face.
@Naana, aaaaw thanks my dear
If these Ghanaian “citizens” really want to do something about the current government in Ghana, they should go to Ghana and demonstrate there. I find their demonstration very hypocritical because most of these people don’t care about Ghana, as a matter of fact most Ghanaians that travel abroad don’t care about Ghana, and I have my reasons for that. I’m wondering what do they expect the prime minister to do about the current situation in Ghana-they don’t rule over us anymore people.
@E-MAN, this is so untrue! my dear, i dont know where you got ur info. but check western union see how much transfers went home from all of us in the diaspora. Again we cry for documentation so we can go home. when we ship things home, customs don’t only over tax, but steal as well.
we care and wants a better nation so at most relatives will stop bogging or taging us!
tried sending ivestments home, and you will see fraustration!
@naadu, im a ghanaian living in Ghana bt I totally disagree wth tht guy…Ghanaians abroad hav every right to complain…wen the country is in crisis thy suffer a lot cos thy r bothrrd by family members here to send money home…
Akonfem republic lol
Cute! This is nice, its so much needed. With so eyes on the Government, I bet no Mahama or Akuffo Addo can play akomfem with our money!
hahaahaa i know this is serious but i can’t stop laughing @ the akonfem lady lmao. so i heard ghana is now an akonfem republic and the leading party is dumso dumso party. na wa o
those Ashanti apes in London are gud 4nofin ppl.they r trying to beg 4 money 4rm the PM.they should rather come back 4 their God given jobs,I mean our shoes are dirty.
@comptonsnoop, You sound very ignorant
These dudes demonstrating are the problem. After being trained in gh instead of staying in your motherland to develop the country, you run away with the skilled trained and now you are crying for who……..
They are so stupid.Hope all of them have their papers though.I mean how?They should rather go home and take positions and help to develop the country n stop washing dishes n brushing of horses teeth.
the Ashanti king wants black Ashanti goats to come nd fan him.some one tell those hungry demo’s cleaning albino’s toilet to apply.
@loicee, hàààhaaahààà French laugh u r one of them abi,west African dwarf goat lyk u.
Wow the level of ignorance is too much on here today wow it saddens me. I think some people need to be educated. GC help them enlighten them so they will know Ghana is not ruled by just Ghanaian government that’s why we have the United Nations n if the people do not inform the world of their problems, they will not be helped. And for those insulting, your insults highlights who u r.
who is the journalist? awful english why r they here for?? smh
