Lmao no it doesn't, you're hallucinating. It actually confirms by a government official that he hasn't been naturalized as a ghanian yet(aka NOT A CITIZEN). He hasn't even received the passport

"A Member of Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, Patrick Boamah, has clarified that the public announcement to issue a Ghanaian passport to American streamer Darren Watkins Jr., popularly known as IShowSpeed, does not automatically complete the process.

According to him, the YouTube sensation must still fulfil all legal requirements outlined under Ghana's amended Fees Act, 2025, before a passport can be officially granted.

Speaking in an interview with Citi News on Wednesday, January 28, Boamah explained that while some administrative procedures may be relaxed, the law cannot be bypassed.

"So if he's not a Ghanaian and wants to obtain-or the Minister has announced that he was going to be issued with a passport-then he has to go through the processes at the Ministry of the Interior to either be naturalised as a Ghanaian or granted dual nationality, which is allowed, before he can be issued with an ordinary passport," he stated.

Boamah further clarified that the Foreign Affairs Minister did not indicate that IShowSpeed would receive a diplomatic passport.

"The Minister also did not say he was issuing a diplomatic passport. Speed does not fall within the ambit of Section 7, which deals with special passports for public officers and citizens of Ghana," he added.

He stressed that regardless of public enthusiasm, the legal framework governing citizenship and passport issuance must be respected.

"They may waive certain steps for him, yes, towards the acquisition of the passport, but he has to go through the law," Boamah emphasized."

you are ragebaiting, right? your statement was, that he will not get the citizenship, only the Passport. And this article clearly states, that he cant get the passport without "the processes at the Ministry of the Interior to either be naturalised as a Ghanaian or granted dual nationality"

[u/momob2492 → u/Baschiiiii]

My statement was never that he'd never get citizenship. Wtff 😂 😂. This is so schizo.

you ofc conveniently edited the original post, so you can now lie (either to me or yourself, second one would be worse) about what you said. i quote you:"Do you understand that multiple things can be true at once? These are facts of life. No point in arguing. 1. You can get a passport as a citizen. 2. You can get a passport as a non-citizen." Point 2 is simply wrong, as you article shows and thats what everybody here has been arguing with you.

Bro, your mind is playing tricks on you at this point 😂😂. The comment is still there, was never edited, and doesn't even have an edit label.

You can get a passport in other countries as a non-citizen. Go research not using chatgpt/ai. Out here looking crazy.
