Beaming with excitement, the young man flaunted his newly acquired passport, which officially confirmed his status as a citizen of the United States of America.

Although Nana did not indicate how long it took him to secure his citizenship, the excitement written on his face indicated how determined he was to get it.

The US passport is ranked as the ninth most powerful passport in the world, according to the Henley Passport Index.

Holders of the passport can travel to 186 destinations without the need for a visa.

Bearing this in mind and having secured his blue-covered passport, the newly conferred US citizen indicated his intentions to embark on globetrotting across the world.

"My favourite book, Let’s go travelling," he wrote in the caption.

He consequently asked his followers to help him choose which country to travel to first, between Ghana and Mexico.

"We got it. Where should I travel to, Mexico or Ghana? Let’s toss a coin. Hey, Ghana, it is," he said amid excitement.

After a few tosses, Nana settled on travelling to Ghana, his country of birth, as his first destination.

With the US citizenship in the bag, Nana Qay now has the same rights as any other American citizen.

This means that he has the right to vote, protection from deportation, access to government benefits, and the ability to sponsor his family members back home in Ghana to join him in the US.

It would also provide him with easier access to certain government jobs and scholarships.
