Because when he came to the UK.. back then, the world and the globe only had around "60 countries"... back then... today, it has around "200 countries".... And even back then, many countries were part of the British Empire... so Ghana was a British Colony. When the colony's countries were detached, around that, time, the structures of governance were being built. This gentleman must have been somebody pretty important if he was able to leave his country back then, on a passport. Cos most Brits that could commute this way back then, would have been diplomats or the sons or the daughters of diplomats.. kind of like HK were. So... that is why he would have had the visas or the paper work to enter into the UK. It is afterwards that would've been complicated.. Because, what would've been the decisions then ? If you were building something "in a grey area"... back then.. and neither party have made decisions, you don't want to be the first one to make it. He might've been stuck this way, because of that... Whereas people like my family... with regards to HK.. we kept going back home to visit... (this increased those trades, for a start)... and it also built up the banking as well... and therefore the visa processes etc. But this didn't happen for ALL Countries. And those processes that are built back then. Is NOW being abused.. by so many internet savvy individuals... and scammers...
His story is really fascinating. That fact, I got recently from BBC Chinese... about the 60 to 200 countries... And to be fair, you don't want to lock down on policies, cos somebody on the internet stated so. Individuals, NEED to think for themselves.. and go to their own government to state their cases of how they wish things to unfold... But many people doesn't do that. So.... In the UK, we do do that, but it got so complicated.. we can't even implement processes that keeps the status quo any more... Cos lives move faster than processes...

@matildakwofie3538 : People like yourself, should indeed support this gentleman by voting correctly and rightly as well in your own country. Cos he came in as a Brit. He must've been somebody pretty important.. but of course, you don't see that, of him and in him as well.. So many of you are already in positions of powers... so... and he has ended up living in fear abroad. Is this correct ? Trade only happens, when you handle such issues delicately as well... When he left Ghana, the globe only had 60 countries. Today, in 2024.. you have 200 countries.. And so many people, citizens across the globe are being "trapped by continually changing policies".....
There is also another citizen from China as well.. I don't like that woman, she is putting my votes at risk as well.. She came in on a visa.. but then she is testing those boundaries... of the Northern Ireland being in the UK.. and then Ireland being in the EU... and what her passport is controlling.. i.e. overlapping immigration statuses ? THIS.. woman is causing OUR policies into a mess !!! I don't like that woman. She also married a Brit as well.. so it makes it even more complicated. To me, I only consider two areas as home.. One is the UK. The other is maybe HK. That is it. Everywhere else, I class myself as a tourist. I like this gentleman, he only see the UK as his home, and then Ghana as his ancestral home. He isn't making other people's lives at risk... by indirectly forcing policies to take place, before the will of the voters. I like him. At least he is HONEST !!!!!! You guys should be proud of him to go on TV like that.

@matthewwilliams4168 : UK doesn't have the green card system that some countries have, like the USA... UK is different, and it worked under a specific monarchy-led constitutional model. So... what he should've done is applied for a BC passport when he is allowed. In fact, I don't even know why he doesn't even apply for one now, since he is fully qualified to do so. So I don't get this "temporary visa thing".. I bet that the passport office, deliberately is now stating that "it is applicable from the point of your application"... i.e. He has to be monitored since day one... I thought that he could. In fact, he should be able to do so etc. When he came into the UK, Ghana was a British state... So, technically, he didn't enter the UK as a non-Brit. But the question is now, why he is being considered as a "non-Brit".... He shouldn't. I bet that, if he didn't go to the Home Office to check.. then, they wouldn't have forced him to become a "non-Brit"... in their database. Cos he came, before the system was built. He came.. when his condition was correct. It is not in his role and his job as a citizen.. to follow the politics, and literally apply every single policy to himself.. when it doesn't necessarily applies to him ? It is like scapegoating, isn't it ? Using a time-lapsed way to get people into trouble and messy situations...
