I was a child when this happened in Nigeria. Many of my primary school teachers were Ghanaians, and I slso had several Ghanaians as friends. I had a very dear friend Kodjo, whose family had to leave. Yes, Ghana expelled Nigerians in 1969 before this happened but I think the lesson to be learned here is that it's easy for leaders to use selfish sentiments to rile the people against foreigners in order to cover their own short comings. It's a script as old as ancient Rome. From Hitler to Trump, its a simple strategy to blame others for your problems. I live and work in Ghana now and it's my honest truth that if Ghana amd Nigeria get their act together, individually and collectively, they will easily be Africa's giants.
@@Stantelook If they're in Nigeria illegally, or their labours are no longer needed, what difference does it make. The Nigerian govt must make its decisions for the benefit of Nigerian citizens, not foreign nationals.
One thing this disaster brought was the separation of families of parents who were Ghanaian and Nigerian. In 2010 a daughter of my neighbor who he left with his then Nigerian fiancé returned to Ghana to look for her dad, it was very sad to see my neighbor crying
Ghanaian destroyed Nigeria in so many ways, prostitutions, arm robbery, forgery, using Nigeria passport to move to other part of the world, drug dealing and many more, most Ghaian were criminals, obviously them our economy was good , no Nigeria wanna travel, our currency was 1 naira to 1 pounds, you can see influx of Ghanaian, Indians, Lebanese, Italians, people from all over the world
Great story but incomplete. You failed to add that the deportation order affected mainly Ghanaians living in Lagos which was then Nigeria's capital city. Large number of Ghanaians did not leave Nigeria but headed to other parts, mainly Eastern Nigeria. Once there these Ghanaians were welcomed with open arms and they formed large vibrant communities deeply integrated with local cultures in Aba, Onitsha etc. where they continued to thrive uninterrupted. Perhaps the impact of Ghanaian presence is felt most in the arts e.g. the rise of a new genre of highlife music featuring bands such as Okukuseku, artists such as Amakye Dede etc. who combined Igbo and Ghana traditions into a new style as enduring as the Ghana must go bags. No story of Ghanaian expulsion from Nigeria is complete without this angle. Sadly Ghana must go has since morphed into something else with ongoing demolition of homes in the country.
Always looking for means to discredit the South Western Nigerian states. You reek of bigotry. Alot of Ghanaians in the east also migrated. How old were you when this happened? Where you even born? Sheu Shagari made this decree on not only Ghana but ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS from West African countries. Ghana unfortunately we're the largest migrants hence the reason why they felt the hammer hardest Shagari's policy was bitter sweet, as it improved put economy as a nation, but damaged the existing relationships with Ghana. The music's you mentioned had origins from Ghana Yes, Alot of them resided in Lagos, and because this was a melting point, they made friends with Nigerians from Eastern Nigeria, and then it therefore influenced from thereon. Stop being bias. Till Now, alot of Ghanians live and relocated to Ogun State, and a large number in Lagos State. A very all number after going back, then coming back, decided to move to the South East. I am an ardent historian, and have learnt alot than to be bias. DONT FORGET THAT BEFORE THIS DECISION, GHANA HAD SENT AWAY A LARGE NUMBER OF NIGERIANS SOMETHING THEY COINED AGAIN IN 2021/22 WHERE THEY GAVE MANDATE THAT NIGERIAN TRADERS MUST HAVE AT LEAST MILLIONS BEFORE THEY CAN BE LEGALLY REGISTERED. STOP SPEAKING FROM ONSE SIDE OF THE MOUTH
'Ghana must go' applied in all the states of Nigeria not only Lagos. My father's gas station staff were all Ghanaian except a few locals, including home staff. Most of them left and some were given Nigerian identity as undercover to continue to live and work peacefully until they were ready to leave on their terms. It is always better to get accurate information before we share it with others.
@@Tefera-hf8fw He never said it didn't apply to other states. He said it affected most of the Ghanaians living in Lagos. And many of the ones who left Lagos wento Eastern Nigeria, which is a FACT. Now it makes sense why Igbo highlife and Ghanaian highlife sound almost identical.
It took me two sisters and my mum 4 days travelling in the bush with only elephant grasses paths to get to Kwara state , then we entered the northern part of Benin republic, then to the northern part of Togo travelling through Lamankara villages before travelling down to southern Togo , then we finally crossed into Ghana. I was 9 and I was carried by other passengers from one bus to the other since my mum couldn't handle all of us and we couldn't get our own seats. It was a time of anguish and turmoil for Ghanaian returnees because the borders were closed by the Nigerian government after a short notice. Some lost their lives trying to get out of Nigeria. We were literally being hidden from Nigerians by good neighbors because of the threats to our lives. Then when we finally made it to Ghana through hunger and thirst, we met a country who was hit by famine. Little or no food in Ghana. 😭😭😭
We the citizens of Nigeria are very sorry for what happened to you and others, infact we the students are crying when our Ghanaians teachers left us, Shagari advisers caused this mayhem to our Ghanaians, but bet me, this will never happen again. Sorry to hear this.
My father was displaced as a child in the chaos when Ghana 🇬🇭 retaliated and he didn’t make it back to Nigeria until he was about 19 years old, he always tells me about the horrible experiences he endured growing up in Ghana from his father’s relatives in Ghana because they didn’t leave he stayed with them and it got so bad that he left Ghana at the age of 19 went to Nigeria and did really well became rich through his fathers connections and settled in Lagos where me and all my siblings were raised..
Small correction. Ghana did not retaliate. Ghana expelled Nigerians first then Nigerian government retaliated. Let's tell the story correct, leave it all in the past and move on.
I appreciate your work on this platform! Many of us in the Diaspora need these historical documentaries for a better understanding of the Continent! Thank you for posting.
Thx for the in-depth analysis of one of the darkest period in the Nigeria Ghana relationship. The first though was in 1969 when Ghana deported illegal aliens including several Nigerians under the Alliance Compliance Order under Prime Minister Busia. These two similar policies are no doubt the saddest periods in our joint history as Africans. Interestingly, I was a Ghanaian expatriate teacher in Nigerian- and as a legal resident, I remember the sad faces of my students as they somehow felt we will all be leaving…..no sooner after that exercise, many of us disillusioned also left Nigeria.
Thanks for your service to Nigeria. I was trained by Ghanaian teachers in the 80s and still in touch with some of them. They made a huge and positive impact on us. God bless you
I would like to see a sequel on how Ghana first expelled Nigerians back to Nigeria while Nigeria was in a civil war. It's against the Geneva convention to send people back to a country or their country if war is going on there.

@user-wm9oz5nk3q How many Nigerians died in Ghana?. Nobody was brutalized or killed when the Ghanaian government asked Nigerians to leave Ghana. On the other hand, thousands of Ghanaians were brutalized and killed in Nigeria during the time foreigners mostly Ghanaians were asked to leave Nigeria. In short whtat happened in Nigeria was totally evil.
@@Geraldwalton-k6rstop your demonic lies. Nigerians who left Ghana in 1970 or 1971 left because they misunderstood the order that was given to all foreigners living in Ghana at the time. The order was foreigners without documents living in Ghana to regularize their stay by getting resident permits. Those illeterates Nigerians who misunderstood the order left. Nobody chased them away. I knew a Nigerian lady and a man who were working at State Construction Corporation in 1976, which was long after this permit regularization was ordered. It was Nigeria that expelled Ghanaians twice, and not the other way round. The first expulsion happened under Shewu Shaggari in 1982/83, and second expulsion was done by the military man who overthrew Shagari
@@kriskros1592 So in your opinion because no Nigerian died that makes it ok or diminishes to physical, emotional and even the economic impact the alien compliant order of Busia Government had on those Nigerians? Imagine your level of reasoning
As a boy growing up in Belgrade,Yugoslavia saw my Late Mum sob when it was on the television news of Nigerians brutalising Ghanaians in expulsion. Now Millions of Nigerians living in Ghana but Ghana tolerating them.
you mean the poor Ghana that is on debt default at the moment with ongoing IMF cleanup exercise or which of the Ghana??? online hype don't develope a nation,you can see that reality on ground in your poor Ghana is different from fake online narrative for clouts ..Ghana don't even have dual carriage highways linking it capital city to other towns .. you don't even know the level a country has gotten to before it can default on external borrowings agreements... Nigeria remain the number one country outside Ghana where most Ghanaian immigrants are living till date,you mugus will be shock if GHANAMUSTGO PART3 comes up ,you know anything Nigeria is always popular,now you have forgotten how your Ghana gov chased away Nigerians
This is how you mugu ghanaian write propaganda online , Ghana that is on debt default with IMF cleanup exercise ongoing.. Nigeria is the number one country outside Ghana where most Ghanaian immigrants are living till date,there are more than 2m ghanaian living all over Nigeria federation... Nigerians are everywhere in the world, don't forget that Nigerians control huge area of your ghana private sector, there are more Nigerian own banks than local Ghanaian own banks in Ghana ,the biggest Cinema house in Ghana is own by a Nigerian, in telecom,Nigeria has investment in Ghana ... Lagos state alone has more bigger and viable economy than Ghana
With three months notice.....Foreigners were given 3 months but Nigerians used less than two weeks. How many Nigerians died when they were evacuated from Ghana but the reverse is true.
@@Trigger_the_Spirit_man The method used doesn't matter, what matters is that you did it to us first. Exactly, as you have started with Banning Nigerian music Ghana, we would retaliate in a more extreme way.
@@ukokensington5811first and foremost it happened because of the increase in crime and distraction and like the above said these people were given time to sort their lives before they had to leave. Second no one said Nigerian music was being banned they said they want the radio station and entertainment industry to prioritise Ghanaian music especially in the Detty December period, if your going to bring these things up let’s speak facts.
@@benita5912 Stop being slow. The foreign music you were referring to is Nigerian music. Samini even mentioned Ghana's top 100 Apple chart; the only country's music on that chart which is not Ghanaian is Nigerian, so you were targeting Nigeria. We don't have an issue with prioritizing your content; but if you think you can prioritize your local content, we can also prioritize ours too.
Ghana and Nigeria should not travel to each other countries…Ghanaians should stay in Ghana and Nigerians stay in Nigeria…problem solved. If you are child born to Ghanaian & Nigerian chose which country you want to belong and stay there. Two countries separation and should not mingle together.
Really! I’m a Caribbean born person living in the US and these comments make me sad. How can Africans in the diaspora unite when African neighbors behave as described. I’m not taking any side. I’m just saddened.
His video is incomplete. Nigerians were sent out of Ghana years before Ghanaians trooped to Nigeria, under the Alien Compliance Order of 1969. People lost their homes, busibesses and their children had to leave school also. They sent people who had fled war back to Nigeria and those people lost what they had managed to build. Or is it that it doesn't matter if Nigerians are on the receiving end?
In 1969 my Grandfather and his family (including my dad) , my Grand ma and family (including my mum) along with over 300,000 Nigerians and west Africans were deported from Ghana by Kofi Abrefa Busia. Some were second-generation immigrants in Ghana. your country did it first then Nigeria did theirs too lol
Leave them and Yoruba’s where like a minority group there but during the civil war they introduced “Ghana Alien compliance act” whereby deporting generations of traders and refusing papers while simultaneously giving igbos at the refugee status
You did it even after signing to ECOWAS . Given Ghanaians 14 days ? You're now in Ghana . Tell us how many days Ghanaians should give you . Because then again it's Ghanaians turn to repatriate you !
@@joedankdank4306 Ghana man, don't start what you can't finish. Available record have it that there are more Ghanaians living in Nigeria than Nigerians living in Ghana. Nigerians don't discriminate, the reason Ghanaians are freely moving around unhindered. There are many Ghanaians farming, tapping palm wine, weaving baskets, selling donuts, meddling shoes and clothes, hawking, operating local restaurants as well as engage in tailoring and other menial jobs in Nigeria. Recall that your dark skinned complexion and local ascent easily gives Ghanaians away. The Ghanaian government under Kofi Abrefa Busia tried it and the repercussions were graver. Presently, the Ghanaian government introduced draconian policies targeted at Nigerian movie producers and businesses in Ghana. Unfortunately, those actions have rendered the Ghanaian movie industry comatose with a collapsed economy. Remember that whenever Nigeria reciprocate, it's usually very fatal. The famous "Ghana Must Go " should serve as lesson. Many Ghanaians not born in that era still carries the name " Ghana Must Go " wherever they go.
@@mercyikhena7352 If only you know the intensity of suffering in Ghana. Are you not aware that the Ghanaian economy has collapsed? Are you also not aware that the Ghanaian currency has crumbled? The Ghanaian currency is one of the poorest in the world today. Don't be deceived. It's unfortunate how Nigerians who crawled into Ghana with little or nothing, decided to open TH-camr channel due to joblessness and bashing Nigeria for miserable Ghanaian subscribers. I consider people like Lily Ogini and Mr Manager as traitors. You can't compare the hardworking Nigerian youths to those lazy Ghanaians. Even a Ghanaian Member of Parliament, KT Hammond, once referred to the Ghanaian youths as weak, docile, lazy, blocked and empty headed.
It’s disgusting that Africans do this to each other If we cannot be united, how can we develop UK and France have historic issues with each other but there is an understanding between them Yet we Africans invented the terms “Ghana must go” bags We are our own worst enemies
The last line is so true. And now they bring that mentality to the West. When WW3 truly happens the West will be so divided by immigrants that Russia, China and Middle East will easily destroy them all, ending the only region on earth where liberty, freedom and human rights exists.
@@rvrv7021 I don't think you are aware that those Ghana must go bags were made for Ghanaians by Nigerians and we're given to them to pack their things to leave the country. However those bags are still around and they're popular and still called Ghana must go based on the event that birth their existence. If not for these bags many Nigerian won't know this story because this part of history was never taught in schools.
Even in Ghana most of us call it Ghana must go bags. What was meant for evil is now free branding for Ghana 😄. Anyway may such unfortunate events never repeat themselves.
Respectfully, were you born during that time? I wasn't. Being Nigerian, I don't carry the burden of Ghana's history or how Nigerians treated Ghanaians then. Nigerian leaders also treated their own people poorly, and mentioning Sani Abacha illustrates that. Your perspective on Ghanaian trauma seems detached. Don't adopt a narrow mindset assuming you experienced it. Consider South Africa's treatment of Africans and Nigeria's expulsion of Ghanaians in the 1980s. In 2019, South Africans set them on fire on live television. Lastly, before commenting, ensure you've read and understand the story.
Because it’s ur ppl always trying to run there mouths trying to feel like u are better then Ghana but forget and not taught that we sent u out first for over running our country with ur population and a second time too but we don’t brag about it only u ppl always bring it up only to claim ur better then Ghana or claim that the reason why Ghanaians don’t like u is because of Ghana must go and that is not true
You white women, that is if that is your true picture, Ghanaian did first to Nigeria twice, because we do not make noise about it, Who cares if they died at other border as long as they didn't die in Nigeria, what killed some of them is hunger, because their then government refuse to allow them into Ghana
They expelled Nigerians during the war, my late uncle and his family returned from Ghana empty handed in 1969. Till he passed, he speaks Ghana fluently.
@xayhovan6814 Bwaaaaaaaaahahahahaha! Then, you need to take pre-indepedence expulsion of 54 up with the British. You can run and hide, slip and slide all you want but, this documentary itself states this fact - post-independence, Ghana expelled Nigerians at the height of our Civil War. FACT!
@@xayhovan6814 why are you lied, both Ghana and Nigeria are under British empire in 50s, Nigerians moved to Ghana after they gained independence in 1957/58 till 1969 when it was exodus.
@love-heartbamaiyi4258 where is the evidence Ghana expelled Nigeria? No written evidence, no photos, no videos to show Ghana truly expelled Nigeria first y'all just lying to cover ur xenophobic act.
Because history is repeating itself. South Africa’s number one problem is poor governance. Politicians are however putting illegal immigrants on the forefront to cover their tracks. Eskom scandal Phala Phala Rand manipulation Cadre deployment Had nothing to do with illegal immigrants. There were gangs before illegal immigrants invaded SA. Even if they somehow manage to get rid of majority of illegal immigrants their problems still wouldn’t be solved and worse still if they kick out or kill many white South Africans I don’t believe
I am Ghanaian. The point, I believe, is to learn and grow. Africans have the most resources, yet our currency does not back it up. We are jealous of each other, and would much rather see our own fall down than climb up, and in the event they do climb up, we are complacent in dragging them down. It's sad, but a united continent will undoubtedly hurt the bottom-line of some people, so they look down on us. Sadly, we have shallow and callow leaders, and even worse, the people aren't any better. God help us all.
And where did exactly did I say that Nigerians are jealous of Ghana? I said Africans are jealous of each other. If you would like to prove otherwise, then of course, do so. Please do not misconstrue my words.@@Titoscudd
@@Titoscudd yes I understand where you’re coming from, however, that particular behaviour is mostly found among Ghanaians. You people are so jealous and can go to any lengths to pull your brother down. Despite our differences in our country Nigeria, we believe in Team work. We rise by lifting others. We can have a healthy competition among ourselves but can’t envy or pull our own brother down. Though very few people might do it but it’s not common with us.

Ghana deported Nigerians during Civil War when nigerian needed them most can not be compared with nigeria deported ghana because of crimes , however africa must not see this as obstacles, it happens everywhere , Europe America, Middle etc , we should know better now and learn from our mistakes and embrace the spirit of Ubuntu
Nigeria must go! Twice Ghana expelled Nigerians: one in the '59 and '67. The worst part of the '67 expulsion was that Nigeria was in a brutal war and Ghana aware that most of those expelled would be killed still went ahead and expelled the Nigerians and of course, they were mostly massacred by the Nigerian side.
One thing I know for sure was Ghana never deported all Nigerians..that u know is true .. the was a degree for them to get their papers done and those who don't will be deported.. there was an option. Some Ghanaians never left Nigeria other sort refuge in easter part of Nigeri. The issue was Ghanaians didn't take advantage over the situation .. Due to bad government we allowed ourselves to be treated like dogs to go barg at our neighbor and come for fake treat. After asking Ghaians to leave u had a couple. Let leave together ..
It's important to learn from history and find a way of going above it and making better choices. The west have also have had history and still do in some places but they have been able to unite and stand as a strong one. This story is to be learnt from and not taken as an excuse to be divided. It's a call to value economic inclusivity, understand the harm of xenophobia, and embrace regional cooperation in Africa. The question should be what we can do to be a better and brighter continent.

Ghana-Nigeria relationship has become toxic…Ecowas policy needs to be resolved so that each country citizen will live in their own country… There are two countries between Ghana-Nigeria and the two should not mingle together. A child born between a Ghanaian and Nigerian should be given to one of the parent choosing. Ghana government should recall their ambassador and citizen from Nigeria and Nigeria should recall their ambassador and citizen from Ghana….the toxicity must stop now.

So Sad for Ghanaians!:so sad that a few months ago that Ghana threw some west Africans foreigners to the border with no reason 😢 ! What a Shame! Did ghana learned from his past?
Nigeria's presence In Ghana dates back to 1931. Nigeria thrived and was successful In Ghana until this happened on the 23rd of August 1957 - The Deportation Act was enacted by Nkrumah targeting rich Nigerians in Ghana like Aufa Osman Ladan, Ahmadu Baba, Mr Samuel Faleye, Mr B Oni, Alhaji Dae Bakare. They lost their livelihood and homes On the 18th of August 1969, Dr. Koffi Busia enacted the "Aliens Compliance Order" against all Nigerians living in Ghana roughly about 600, 000 (Over half a million) to leave Ghana within 14 days. (14th of December 1969) Most Nigerians living in Ghana were from the Yoruba tribe and they lost their possessions, their home, and their fortune. Thousands of Nigerians died in the process. This was happening during the Nigerian Civil War which made it worse for Nigeria's economy. This carried on till the early 1970s . 13 years later. Nigeria did the same to Ghanaians who came during the mid-70s oil boom. I Think Ghana should tell this story to the world.
I had Ghanian teachers in primary school...they were the best and loved by our parents ❤️❤️ We also has a lot of them as teachers and the truth is that many of them akso didn't not leave...even in Lagos..I knew them growing up who even have property im Nigeria.
You failed to mention Nigeria must go which happened earlier than the Ghana must go which Nigerians were deported from Ghana, at that time u also failed to mention that Ghanaians prior to Nigerian independence from great Britain saw Nigerians as inferior beings.
All my primary school teachers where Ghanaians. Ghanaians where aweful towards Nigerians living in ghana pre 1970 when their economy was stable. My late uncle was born in Ghana around 1932. He said they were treated very very badly. This video is a very fair report of what happened. Well done
So why are Nigerians trooping to Ghana again, knowing expulsion can happen again especially because of the habit of their disregard for the law and the habit of kidnapping?
What goes around, comes around. The Ghanaians started it. They expelled Nigerians in droves first in 1954 and then in our most desperate moment in 1969. In the background, their was a civil war between Nigeria and some insurrectionist. Some Nigerians sought refuge in Ghana and their were already some Nigerians who had settled in Ghana long before the fracas doing well for themselves. All of them were still served the cold breakfast. So, in the grand scheme of things, the universe just had to bring some balance and some justice to the situation. The cosmic correction was necessary. That said, we are best friends now. Water under the bridge.we good now.
We’re not friends! You can’t kill thousands of Ghanaians in the name of repatriation! Ghana did it first however nobody was killed!.. you can deport without killing people! There’s no justification in killing innocent people! You thought we’ve forgotten about it, nope!
Ghana didn’t kick the Igbo’s out they were allowed to stay and categorized as special aliens and didn’t send them back it was mostly Yoruba’s that were sent out and only Nigerians who didn’t have anything to prove to be able to stay in Ghana and we didn’t use that to insult u and kick u out for no reason to many of u we’re invading Ghana u ppl sent Ghanaians out and to degrade and insult our ppl and accused us of taking your jobs along with other Africans and still to this day use Ghana must go to feel like ur above Ghana and u never been above us and use it to mock Ghanaians but Ghana is better place to be and to live freely then your country Nigeria u ppl still running to Ghana and bringing crime now and talk anyhow and want to provoke us still to this day
West africans have been slaughtering and slave trading each others in the tens of millions for 1000 years! This was bad but nowhere near the worst west african atrocity!

A very sad moment in my country's history. Political instability and border crisis led to our government expelling desperate Ghanians and that horrible term for a plastic bag becoming a norm.

The Ghanaian expelled Nigerians twice and was given a bitter dose. Ghanaians should stop it else they get another woto woto. I am a Nigerian-born Ghanaian.l have forgiven the basted, Dr. Busia because I am a better person now and successful as well.
@@kriskros1592You don’t expect anybody to tell you how many Nigerians died , go and read your history , 1969 Busia gave only two weeks ultimatum and Nigerians were expelled from ghana , their properties seized and most of them killed. In Nigeria most of us don’t know about this expulsion of Nigerians from ghana because our leaders wants to put the past behind but every new born Ghanaian will be told this history of Ghanaians expulsion from Nigeria and it only breeds hate.
I grew up hearing about “the Ghana must go term” & how the name came about. From the comments under this video I'm reading for the 1st time that Ghana did same to Nigerians in the 1960s can U throw more light on that please, would like to learn more.
Ghana did it 1954 twice when Nigeria was in civil war, but Ghanaians will never tell u that. The both government were wrong, Nigerians don't believe in hate nor painting others black to be white, u will hardly hear this in Nigeria apart from the bag name. Ghanaians keep rubbishing Nigeria/Nigerians name think is the best way to get at Nigeria 😂 but the more they try the more Nigeria is going higher, Ghanaians should learn from history and stop hating and spoiling Nigeria name cus if Nigerians should reciprocate same hmmm it will be had for them Ghanaians. When Ghana government were exploring Nigerians he never for once think there were also Ghanaians in Nigeria which birthed the Ghana must go issue they are still crying for till date.
It was a very sad story for Nigerian migrants in Ghana and it was also very sad for Ghanaian migrants in Nigeria. I like to thank you very much for your honest report. My ancestors migrated to the Colonial Gold Coast. Some of my relatives departed from Ghana even though their University age adult kids didn't know their ancestors' home in Nigeria because their parents never took them to Nigeria. It was a very sad story indeed for both Nigerians and Ghanaians. For Nigerians in Ghana since Colonial Gold Coast eras or periods, their properties such as houses, farms, lands, cars, and many different properties were taken away from them by some Ghanaians. Most of those Nigerian migrants had nothing left. So, they became very poor, depressed, and passed away in Nigeria due to the deportations from Ghana to Nigeria because they were not able to assimilate in Nigeria and life was unbearable for them.
For your information it wasn't all Nigerians who were deported. During the colonial era, the British brought in Hausas as policemen and soldiers. These Hausas are still in Ghana own lands and properties and have integrated into Ghanaian society. Now we have Hausas in every town in Ghana, We all now that Hausas are from Nigeria and not from Ghana. But they are now citizens of Ghana. My dad was part of those who were deported in the early 80s. Most Ghanaians lost their lives as they were attacked by Nigerians who took advantage of the situation. I know a family member who is still missing and up to now hasn't be heard of or found. Comments from mostly Nigerians seems to justify the repatriations of Ghanaians as tit-for-tat which I find absurd. Two wrongs doesn't make right and this history serves as a lesson for current and future leaders.
That was a disgraceful part of history it was shown.in western media .Ghana government need to do better to gain financial knowledge because Ghana AGAIN seem to be having severre financial issues.
They didn't just expelled Ghanaians they killed a lot my Auntie Esther Akosua Afi Mensah was murdered cold in the blood trying to escape leaving her children behind (children with a Nigerian man) because of this I don't see Nigerians as African brothers and sisters like I do see any African.forgetting their civil war accord (Biafra civil war )was sign in my hometown called Aburi
We don't care! You have killed Nigerians as recently as 2019, burnt their stores and imprisoned them en mass. Address that current barbarity and present any evidence of similar violence against Ghanaians in Nigeriain recent years.
My aunty Amaka, married to Ghanaian man also died in the Nigeria must go attack in Ghana, leaving her children with Ghanaian names: Koffi and Enyonam. Because of this, I don't see any Ghanaian as my sibling. Mumu
@@ukokensington5811 be truthful here Ghanaians didn't attack any Nigerian they were just asked to leave this the first time hearing this that Ghanaians attacked Nigerians woow very sad
I’m a Nigerian and I always feel embarrassed when I hear this story. I’m sorry on behalf of my country for this act and any other form of xenophobia or racism we have portrayed 😢
To my Nigerian brothers and sisters, advice your families and friends who are in other countries because they represent you badly. I witness a case where a Nigerian man chopped his Ghanaian girl friend into a fridge😢 and runaway. I personally helped more than 3 of them to establish their business but a little favor i asked from each of them, they all duped me heavily. This happened on different occasions. We love you, but you always betray our genue love for you guys. Now Nigerians are bitter in my mouth. I am yet to come across one good and sincere one. Their ladies are good and i learn a lot from them.
It is so sad that I can't speak freely on this. But some of our Igbo brothers the bad one among them are the problem. Even within Nigeria we are uncomfortable with their aggressive style they employ when money making is the topic. We all are now suffering the evil stain. I am Ijaw we are hospitable, kind, humane and social.
Sorry to hear your unfortunate experience with Nigerians. There are good ones and bad ones just like any other country. As for the love ❤️ you have for us. We love you too‼️
Sorry about that. Unfortunately the unscrupulous hustlers and aggressive ones are always spoiling our name. There are so many good Nigerians and I pray you meet many so that you will realize that the bad ones are the minority.
When your own country people does thesame thing we don't hear your noise , Eric Amoateng was an active member of Ghanaian Parliament when he was caught trafficking drugs into America, he was convicted for 10yrs in prison.. Nigerians are 20+ of black on the Africa continent,if 1% of Nigerians are bad that will be more than 3m population
If you want to be unbiased into the story about expelling of Ghanaians and Nigerians from both countries, start from the beginning and why both expel in different time frame.
@@onyourcoffeebreak2476 I noticed that too. Non-Africans or Africans who are unfamiliar with the history will think Ghana didn't expel Nigeria first! This is why it is important that the historical account is told from the beginning to the end without bias.

Nigeria look at you now, you are not even allowed to enter Saudi Arabia for Hajj or Umran. You see you mismanagement, corruption and wickedness has ended you?

My teachers, Maths teacher was Mr Mensah, Agriculture was Mr Adjei, Account was Mr Wilson, English teacher was Mrs Ofosu, her husband was a doctor in our General hospital, and so on.
Most of our people died along the way especially at the Togo 🇹🇬 border and semer border most of our family didn’t make it back home and Nigerians killed a lot of our people ,the same people we helped gain their independence and even stop their Biafra civil war .we will never forget this sad horror
If only you listened to the commentary with open mind, you will know that Nigeria took the right decision. Ghanaians were constituting nuisance which includes prostitution, armed robbery, pickpocketing, burglary, car hijacking, petty theft, scam, drug trafficking, human trafficking and other criminal activities.

@@africanzone2646 ... and what do you know about the Ghanaian politics and economy? Since inception, it's on record that Ghana has suffered bad leadership. The reason for the consistent and persistent coup d'etat in Ghana. The reason JJ Rowling, a foreigner, toppled the corrupt Ghanaian government was basically due to large scale corruption and bad leadership. He went further to execute all of them. Prior to 1st July 2007, the ghc was exchanged for $1 = ghc 10,000. In order to reshape the Ghanaian economy, the then president introduced the redenominations of the Ghanaian currency. In doing so, 4 digits (0000) was removed to equate the Cedi and the USD. Unfortunately, no economy shrouded in falsehoods survives . Ghana is not a producing nation. It largely depends on imported goods and services for survival. Sadly, the Ghanaian government is presently going the way of pre- "Ghana Must Go " era. Recall that Ghana is officially bankrupt following the collapse of its economy and crashed of the Ghanaian Cedi. Today, the Cedi is exchange for around $1 = ghc 13 to 15. This simple means that if you add the 4 digits, the exchange rate for $1 will simply amount to ghc 130,000 or ghc 150,000. Either way, the Ghanaian economy is still in shambles.
Another deluded Ghanaian 🇬🇭! Go and read your history and appreciate how Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe mentored Kwame Nkkruna and educated Ghanaians on how to use the media to fight colonialism. He did that using his newspaper, 'The West African Pilot'. By the way, Ghana under Busia expelled hundreds of thousands of Nigerians in 1969 during the civil war in Nigeria 🇳🇬.
I'm watching From TEMA Ghana 🇬🇭 This story doesn't really matter to me. Because now Nigerians come to Ghana to enjoy freedom And Free Electricity. But some years ago Nigeria was better. These shows that we should forget History and love each other. We unite we process we divide we fall.
Don't forget that Ghanaians expelled Nigerians twice before we retaliated. In 1954 and 1969. I am not saying that mass expulsion of Africans by other Africans is wholesome, however, it is fair to enlighten those who might not be aware of this fact, so as to put this event in the right context.
I bet you conveniently do not remember when in 1969 Ghana expelled hundreds of thousands of Nigerians, many of whom were born in Ghana and had never set foot in Nigeria.
There is also 5 to 7 million Nigerians in Ghana now and it is too much they are invading us we must be careful they should do something about it before is too late
I remember this period very well. I also remember my uncles snd aunts sent back from Ghana losing everything they ever worked for including houses they built there. I remember my parents having to house some of our family members deported from Ghana with only there clothes on their backs, while we have Ghanaians neighbors
@@fesderi3933 you cant find a full ghanain community in nigeria as at now and till date i dont see none. i mean a community with a chief like how we have the igbo and yoruba community and chief in ghana. proof is on youtube and you can see them celebrating their yam festivals and others. i hardly doubt theres is such in nigeria for ghanaians

Anything Nigeria is always popular,even when Dubai decide to stop most African countries visa , everyone will tag Nigerians , when south Africans doing xenophobic against Zim , Mozambicans, Ghanaian, Togolese, Burundian, Tanzania everyone will tag Nigerians .. a Nigerian have the best chance to get any European,Asian, American visa than any African ,the records are there , Nigerians are the highest Africans getting visa access to the rest of the world than any other Africans
@@fesderi3933 what the guy is saying is true, nigerians did their wortst to ghanaians and other african countries. many ghanaians died in the sea and at the togo and benin border. you can see clearly what nigerians did and nigerians did it twice, 1983 and 1985. so clearly nigerians are being rejected. recently see what is happening in plateaur, over 200 people massacred. i learnt buhari deported ghanaians to bring more fulanis into nigeria. Glad those videos will be online to educate the younger generations fo what really happened. when these foregin countries ban africans, is normally nigerians who cause all these ban issues everywhere. is better nigerians learn to change their behaviours and mindset.
@@Arizonal87 so asky why even our own african country seychelles banned nigeria? and who or is the cause of this UAE vis ban to all the african country? there are a lot of nigerians using ghana pasport.

Thank you for this information, as heart-breaking as it is. Hopefully we can all learn from this and do/be better as an African people going forward. Sidenote. We need to find a way to keep our leaders engaged with the general population and those they serve. Political power separates the ruling class from the layman and they often have no idea of the extent of their decisions. I'm South African. We cannot have public servants using private hospitals, taking their children to private schools and commuting in private vehicles, they have no stake in the public services they are in charge of. Why would you care that the trains are perpetually late when you never take one, you cannot voucher for the quality of state schools because you don't even know where they're located. You hastily expel foreign nationals because you don't see the day to day contributions they make on the whole. You should punish crime as crime, where's the value of making a nationality distinction? It isn't better to be shot and robbed by my countrymen....
Poor Ghana people, they always start a fight that they cannot finish. They hit Nigeria people first and Nigeria people hit them back harder. What followed? Ghana Must Go came to stay.
What war we still winning we sent u ppl out twice and we will send u out again still ur ppl are running to Ghana and running there mouths while fleeing from that big for nothing country who don’t teach there ppl about respect and maturity u ppl keep playing ghana we left and made our country better ur ppl still be saying how when Ghanaians were there they taught u ppl sense and were ur teachers etc Ghana is still winning and Ghana is a better place to be we didn’t kill ur ppl when sending them out but u did it to us and we mature enough to let it go but u ppl love to talk about Ghana must go trying to talk rubbish but now Ghana is the place u still come to funny you

The actions Nigerian government took 1983 was retaliation of what happened 1969 Nigerian must go by Ghanaian government. Today both countries never learn from history. Ghananians continues to insult and humiliating Nigeria and Nigerians in their country, forgotten that Nigerians are watching. The treatment Nigerians are receiving from Ghanaians both home and abroad are alarming

While Nigerians moved on from the reciprocal deportations, Ghanaians stalled. A Ghanaian policeman slapped me at Denu in Eastern region for being in the country as a Nigerian after what his father suffered during the deportation. Lol 😂.
Wow so the Nigerians and Ghanaians actually did this to each other? Also when i read the comments below there’s a lot of fighting by Ghanaians and Nigerians towards each other. But when South Africans do this all hell breaks loose 😅😅😅
There is a big difference between the Naija/Ghana rivalry and the violent, vicious, murderous xenophobia of South Africans. Aside from the politics of our useless leaders, Nigerian and Ghanaian quarrels are like sibling rivalry. It rarely, if ever degenerates to hatred.
Ghanaians please stay in your country. You people lack shame. In 1969 you people removed 300000 undocumented immigrants from your country during the Nigerian civil war. Yet you people are always playing the victims all the time you guys are so irritating and when Nigeria deported 2 million illegal immigrants we are the bad guy.
You know the irony of this story? Nigeria is about to be what Ghana was then. The signs are all over the place; a rapidly declining currency, exodus of skilled young working population, corruption and a rapid erosion of the middle class.
Nigeria can't be poor as Ghana,you talking about economy and currency, the Ghana fragile economy has already collapsed with excess borrowing,Ghana is on another debt default with another IMF cleanup exercise ongoing, Ghana gov are broke ,they are signing deals with their resources to get back only 11%, ghana is among HIPC... you know nothing about Nigeria federation, Nigeria isn't like those small countries,there is no sector Ghanaian can compete with Lagosians talkless of the whole Nigeria federation, the local and foreign investments alone in Lagos is bigger than Ghana economy ... Nigerians are 20% of black people on the continent,the country can't lack professionals no matter who travel out .. just look for money and invest in your filed and stop your negativity, Nigeria offers more opportunities than any African nation ,the records are there .. person like you don't even know that Nigerians even control big part of Ghana private sector,there are more Nigerian own banks than local Ghanaian banks inside ghana
@@fesderi3933 what a load of word salad. What is your current balance of payments, purchasing power of your citizens, quality of life?

I was a child when this happened in Nigeria. Many of my primary school teachers were Ghanaians, and I slso had several Ghanaians as friends. I had a very dear friend Kodjo, whose family had to leave. Yes, Ghana expelled Nigerians in 1969 before this happened but I think the lesson to be learned here is that it's easy for leaders to use selfish sentiments to rile the people against foreigners in order to cover their own short comings. It's a script as old as ancient Rome. From Hitler to Trump, its a simple strategy to blame others for your problems. I live and work in Ghana now and it's my honest truth that if Ghana amd Nigeria get their act together, individually and collectively, they will easily be Africa's giants.

One thing this disaster brought was the separation of families of parents who were Ghanaian and Nigerian. In 2010 a daughter of my neighbor who he left with his then Nigerian fiancé returned to Ghana to look for her dad, it was very sad to see my neighbor crying
Ghanaian destroyed Nigeria in so many ways, prostitutions, arm robbery, forgery, using Nigeria passport to move to other part of the world, drug dealing and many more, most Ghaian were criminals, obviously them our economy was good , no Nigeria wanna travel, our currency was 1 naira to 1 pounds, you can see influx of Ghanaian, Indians, Lebanese, Italians, people from all over the world

@@Geraldwalton-k6rit's not hip or edgy to be an assh*le.
Great story but incomplete. You failed to add that the deportation order affected mainly Ghanaians living in Lagos which was then Nigeria's capital city. Large number of Ghanaians did not leave Nigeria but headed to other parts, mainly Eastern Nigeria. Once there these Ghanaians were welcomed with open arms and they formed large vibrant communities deeply integrated with local cultures in Aba, Onitsha etc. where they continued to thrive uninterrupted. Perhaps the impact of Ghanaian presence is felt most in the arts e.g. the rise of a new genre of highlife music featuring bands such as Okukuseku, artists such as Amakye Dede etc. who combined Igbo and Ghana traditions into a new style as enduring as the Ghana must go bags. No story of Ghanaian expulsion from Nigeria is complete without this angle.
Sadly Ghana must go has since morphed into something else with ongoing demolition of homes in the country.
STOP LYING TO LOOK GOOD. F NIGERIA
Always looking for means to discredit the South Western Nigerian states. You reek of bigotry. Alot of Ghanaians in the east also migrated. How old were you when this happened? Where you even born?
Sheu Shagari made this decree on not only Ghana but ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS from West African countries. Ghana unfortunately we're the largest migrants hence the reason why they felt the hammer hardest
Shagari's policy was bitter sweet, as it improved put economy as a nation, but damaged the existing relationships with Ghana.
The music's you mentioned had origins from Ghana Yes, Alot of them resided in Lagos, and because this was a melting point, they made friends with Nigerians from Eastern Nigeria, and then it therefore influenced from thereon.
Stop being bias. Till Now, alot of Ghanians live and relocated to Ogun State, and a large number in Lagos State. A very all number after going back, then coming back, decided to move to the South East.
I am an ardent historian, and have learnt alot than to be bias.
DONT FORGET THAT BEFORE THIS DECISION, GHANA HAD SENT AWAY A LARGE NUMBER OF NIGERIANS
SOMETHING THEY COINED AGAIN IN 2021/22 WHERE THEY GAVE MANDATE THAT NIGERIAN TRADERS MUST HAVE AT LEAST MILLIONS BEFORE THEY CAN BE LEGALLY REGISTERED.
STOP SPEAKING FROM ONSE SIDE OF THE MOUTH
'Ghana must go' applied in all the states of Nigeria not only Lagos. My father's gas station staff were all Ghanaian except a few locals, including home staff. Most of them left and some were given Nigerian identity as undercover to continue to live and work peacefully until they were ready to leave on their terms.
It is always better to get accurate information before we share it with others.
@@Tefera-hf8fw He never said it didn't apply to other states. He said it affected most of the Ghanaians living in Lagos. And many of the ones who left Lagos wento Eastern Nigeria, which is a FACT. Now it makes sense why Igbo highlife and Ghanaian highlife sound almost identical.
They are one of them same people, but knowing were Africans and their history, you can't trust them.
It took me two sisters and my mum 4 days travelling in the bush with only elephant grasses paths to get to Kwara state , then we entered the northern part of Benin republic, then to the northern part of Togo travelling through Lamankara villages before travelling down to southern Togo , then we finally crossed into Ghana. I was 9 and I was carried by other passengers from one bus to the other since my mum couldn't handle all of us and we couldn't get our own seats.
It was a time of anguish and turmoil for Ghanaian returnees because the borders were closed by the Nigerian government after a short notice. Some lost their lives trying to get out of Nigeria. We were literally being hidden from Nigerians by good neighbors because of the threats to our lives.
Then when we finally made it to Ghana through hunger and thirst, we met a country who was hit by famine. Little or no food in Ghana. 😭😭😭
Wow😢
Unfortunate , real shame what the Politicians can do to sibling nations. Good to see you made it, Shame on the leaders.
Wow, I a. So sorry you had to endure this because of ego by two presidents.
Very sorry for what you went through.
We the citizens of Nigeria are very sorry for what happened to you and others, infact we the students are crying when our Ghanaians teachers left us, Shagari advisers caused this mayhem to our Ghanaians, but bet me, this will never happen again. Sorry to hear this.
My father was displaced as a child in the chaos when Ghana 🇬🇭 retaliated and he didn’t make it back to Nigeria until he was about 19 years old, he always tells me about the horrible experiences he endured growing up in Ghana from his father’s relatives in Ghana because they didn’t leave he stayed with them and it got so bad that he left Ghana at the age of 19 went to Nigeria and did really well became rich through his fathers connections and settled in Lagos where me and all my siblings were raised..
They won’t include this narative
All Ghanaians acting the only victims
And act like it was the citizens fault not the government
Small correction. Ghana did not retaliate. Ghana expelled Nigerians first then Nigerian government retaliated. Let's tell the story correct, leave it all in the past and move on.

Interestingly, I was a Ghanaian expatriate teacher in Nigerian- and as a legal resident, I remember the sad faces of my students as they somehow felt we will all be leaving…..no sooner after that exercise, many of us disillusioned also left Nigeria.
Thanks for your service to Nigeria. I was trained by Ghanaian teachers in the 80s and still in touch with some of them. They made a huge and positive impact on us. God bless you

@user-wm9oz5nk3q How many Nigerians died in Ghana?. Nobody was brutalized or killed when the Ghanaian government asked Nigerians to leave Ghana. On the other hand, thousands of Ghanaians were brutalized and killed in Nigeria during the time foreigners mostly Ghanaians were asked to leave Nigeria. In short whtat happened in Nigeria was totally evil.
@@Geraldwalton-k6rstop your demonic lies. Nigerians who left Ghana in 1970 or 1971 left because they misunderstood the order that was given to all foreigners living in Ghana at the time. The order was foreigners without documents living in Ghana to regularize their stay by getting resident permits. Those illeterates Nigerians who misunderstood the order left. Nobody chased them away. I knew a Nigerian lady and a man who were working at State Construction Corporation in 1976, which was long after this permit regularization was ordered. It was Nigeria that expelled Ghanaians twice, and not the other way round. The first expulsion happened under Shewu Shaggari in 1982/83, and second expulsion was done by the military man who overthrew Shagari
@@kriskros1592 So in your opinion because no Nigerian died that makes it ok or diminishes to physical, emotional and even the economic impact the alien compliant order of Busia Government had on those Nigerians? Imagine your level of reasoning

Ghana was the first country to deport Nigerians in 1969.
With three months notice.....Foreigners were given 3 months but Nigerians used less than two weeks. How many Nigerians died when they were evacuated from Ghana but the reverse is true.

His video is incomplete. Nigerians were sent out of Ghana years before Ghanaians trooped to Nigeria, under the Alien Compliance Order of 1969. People lost their homes, busibesses and their children had to leave school also. They sent people who had fled war back to Nigeria and those people lost what they had managed to build.
Or is it that it doesn't matter if Nigerians are on the receiving end?
Happy new year Tatenda looking forward to more riveting uploads 😊
In 1969 my Grandfather and his family (including my dad) , my Grand ma and family (including my mum) along with over 300,000 Nigerians and west Africans were deported from Ghana by Kofi Abrefa Busia. Some were second-generation immigrants in Ghana. your country did it first then Nigeria did theirs too lol
Leave them and Yoruba’s where like a minority group there but during the civil war they introduced “Ghana Alien compliance act” whereby deporting generations of traders and refusing papers while simultaneously giving igbos at the refugee status

@@joedankdank4306
Ghana man, don't start what you can't finish. Available record have it that there are more Ghanaians living in Nigeria than Nigerians living in Ghana. Nigerians don't discriminate, the reason Ghanaians are freely moving around unhindered. There are many Ghanaians farming, tapping palm wine, weaving baskets, selling donuts, meddling shoes and clothes, hawking, operating local restaurants as well as engage in tailoring and other menial jobs in Nigeria. Recall that your dark skinned complexion and local ascent easily gives Ghanaians away. The Ghanaian government under Kofi Abrefa Busia tried it and the repercussions were graver. Presently, the Ghanaian government introduced draconian policies targeted at Nigerian movie producers and businesses in Ghana. Unfortunately, those actions have rendered the Ghanaian movie industry comatose with a collapsed economy. Remember that whenever Nigeria reciprocate, it's usually very fatal. The famous "Ghana Must Go " should serve as lesson. Many Ghanaians not born in that era still carries the name " Ghana Must Go " wherever they go.
No one talks about the fact that Ghana did it first. They have started again because Nigeria is struggling.
@@mercyikhena7352
If only you know the intensity of suffering in Ghana. Are you not aware that the Ghanaian economy has collapsed? Are you also not aware that the Ghanaian currency has crumbled? The Ghanaian currency is one of the poorest in the world today. Don't be deceived. It's unfortunate how Nigerians who crawled into Ghana with little or nothing, decided to open TH-camr channel due to joblessness and bashing Nigeria for miserable Ghanaian subscribers. I consider people like Lily Ogini and Mr Manager as traitors. You can't compare the hardworking Nigerian youths to those lazy Ghanaians. Even a Ghanaian Member of Parliament, KT Hammond, once referred to the Ghanaian youths as weak, docile, lazy, blocked and empty headed.
It’s disgusting that Africans do this to each other
If we cannot be united, how can we develop
UK and France have historic issues with each other but there is an understanding between them
Yet we Africans invented the terms “Ghana must go” bags
We are our own worst enemies
The last line is so true. And now they bring that mentality to the West. When WW3 truly happens the West will be so divided by immigrants that Russia, China and Middle East will easily destroy them all, ending the only region on earth where liberty, freedom and human rights exists.

@@rvrv7021 I don't think you are aware that those Ghana must go bags were made for Ghanaians by Nigerians and we're given to them to pack their things to leave the country. However those bags are still around and they're popular and still called Ghana must go based on the event that birth their existence. If not for these bags many Nigerian won't know this story because this part of history was never taught in schools.
Even in Ghana most of us call it Ghana must go bags. What was meant for evil is now free branding for Ghana 😄. Anyway may such unfortunate events never repeat themselves.
Respectfully, were you born during that time? I wasn't. Being Nigerian, I don't carry the burden of Ghana's history or how Nigerians treated Ghanaians then. Nigerian leaders also treated their own people poorly, and mentioning Sani Abacha illustrates that. Your perspective on Ghanaian trauma seems detached. Don't adopt a narrow mindset assuming you experienced it. Consider South Africa's treatment of Africans and Nigeria's expulsion of Ghanaians in the 1980s. In 2019, South Africans set them on fire on live television. Lastly, before commenting, ensure you've read and understand the story.

Nigeria must go! Twice Ghana expelled Nigerians: one in the '59 and '67. The worst part of the '67 expulsion was that Nigeria was in a brutal war and Ghana aware that most of those expelled would be killed still went ahead and expelled the Nigerians and of course, they were mostly massacred by the Nigerian side.
They say 1954 now it's 1959 lies....lies ....lies. Bring pictorial evidence like there is in the case of Ghana must go.
One thing I know for sure was Ghana never deported all Nigerians..that u know is true .. the was a degree for them to get their papers done and those who don't will be deported.. there was an option. Some Ghanaians never left Nigeria other sort refuge in easter part of Nigeri.
The issue was Ghanaians didn't take advantage over the situation ..

It's important to learn from history and find a way of going above it and making better choices. The west have also have had history and still do in some places but they have been able to unite and stand as a strong one. This story is to be learnt from and not taken as an excuse to be divided. It's a call to value economic inclusivity, understand the harm of xenophobia, and embrace regional cooperation in Africa. The question should be what we can do to be a better and brighter continent.

Nigeria's presence In Ghana dates back to 1931. Nigeria thrived and was successful In Ghana until this happened on the 23rd of August 1957 - The Deportation Act was enacted by Nkrumah targeting rich Nigerians in Ghana like Aufa Osman Ladan, Ahmadu Baba, Mr Samuel Faleye, Mr B Oni, Alhaji Dae Bakare. They lost their livelihood and homes On the 18th of August 1969, Dr. Koffi Busia enacted the "Aliens Compliance Order" against all Nigerians living in Ghana roughly about 600, 000 (Over half a million) to leave Ghana within 14 days. (14th of December 1969) Most Nigerians living in Ghana were from the Yoruba tribe and they lost their possessions, their home, and their fortune. Thousands of Nigerians died in the process. This was happening during the Nigerian Civil War which made it worse for Nigeria's economy. This carried on till the early 1970s . 13 years later. Nigeria did the same to Ghanaians who came during the mid-70s oil boom. I Think Ghana should tell this story to the world.
What lesson? Criminals are not welcome to Ghana!!

So why are Nigerians trooping to Ghana again, knowing expulsion can happen again especially because of the habit of their disregard for the law and the habit of kidnapping?
I look at this video and a lot of the comments and one quote comes to mind: "An eye for an eye leaves the world blind."
What goes around, comes around. The Ghanaians started it. They expelled Nigerians in droves first in 1954 and then in our most desperate moment in 1969. In the background, their was a civil war between Nigeria and some insurrectionist. Some Nigerians sought refuge in Ghana and their were already some Nigerians who had settled in Ghana long before the fracas doing well for themselves. All of them were still served the cold breakfast.
So, in the grand scheme of things, the universe just had to bring some balance and some justice to the situation. The cosmic correction was necessary.
That said, we are best friends now. Water under the bridge.we good now.
We’re not friends! You can’t kill thousands of Ghanaians in the name of repatriation! Ghana did it first however nobody was killed!.. you can deport without killing people! There’s no justification in killing innocent people! You thought we’ve forgotten about it, nope!

It was a very sad story for Nigerian migrants in Ghana and it was also very sad for Ghanaian migrants in Nigeria. I like to thank you very much for your honest report. My ancestors migrated to the Colonial Gold Coast. Some of my relatives departed from Ghana even though their University age adult kids didn't know their ancestors' home in Nigeria because their parents never took them to Nigeria. It was a very sad story indeed for both Nigerians and Ghanaians. For Nigerians in Ghana since Colonial Gold Coast eras or periods, their properties such as houses, farms, lands, cars, and many different properties were taken away from them by some Ghanaians. Most of those Nigerian migrants had nothing left. So, they became very poor, depressed, and passed away in Nigeria due to the deportations from Ghana to Nigeria because they were not able to assimilate in Nigeria and life was unbearable for them.
For your information it wasn't all Nigerians who were deported. During the colonial era, the British brought in Hausas as policemen and soldiers. These Hausas are still in Ghana own lands and properties and have integrated into Ghanaian society. Now we have Hausas in every town in Ghana, We all now that Hausas are from Nigeria and not from Ghana. But they are now citizens of Ghana. My dad was part of those who were deported in the early 80s. Most Ghanaians lost their lives as they were attacked by Nigerians who took advantage of the situation. I know a family member who is still missing and up to now hasn't be heard of or found. Comments from mostly Nigerians seems to justify the repatriations of Ghanaians as tit-for-tat which I find absurd. Two wrongs doesn't make right and this history serves as a lesson for current and future leaders.

Sorry about that. Unfortunately the unscrupulous hustlers and aggressive ones are always spoiling our name. There are so many good Nigerians and I pray you meet many so that you will realize that the bad ones are the minority.
When your own country people does thesame thing we don't hear your noise , Eric Amoateng was an active member of Ghanaian Parliament when he was caught trafficking drugs into America, he was convicted for 10yrs in prison.. Nigerians are 20+ of black on the Africa continent,if 1% of Nigerians are bad that will be more than 3m population
My dad told us this story how ghana expelled Nigerian in 1969 Ghana started this first but forgotten that nija nor dey carry last
If you want to be unbiased into the story about expelling of Ghanaians and Nigerians from both countries, start from the beginning and why both expel in different time frame.
I don't think they like to go there. They just want to play victim.
@@onyourcoffeebreak2476
I noticed that too. Non-Africans or Africans who are unfamiliar with the history will think Ghana didn't expel Nigeria first! This is why it is important that the historical account is told from the beginning to the end without bias.
@@onyourcoffeebreak2476 what victim we are talking about our side and he did speak about yours as well and mentioned it we are talking the history because many of u don’t tell the story well even tell today u ppl are always trying to use ghana must go to think ur superior then Ghanaians and talk down on Ghana we Ghanaians left ur country came back to ours and fixed it and didn’t cry to stay in Nigeria now still to this day u ppl are running to Ghana Bringing crime and having the audacity to insult ghana u ppl better be careful
@@julianaansah6367exactly. Its is an old history, it was good Ghanaians came back, it was a blessing in disguise.
History is really sad. As a Nigerian i will say i dont think we have become any better since then.
Nigeria look at you now, you are not even allowed to enter Saudi Arabia for Hajj or Umran. You see you mismanagement, corruption and wickedness has ended you?
And where is Ghana in all these? No where to be found.
There are more Nigerians accessing those countries mentioned than any other Africans
Exactly they must fix that dump they call a country and correct their bullshit behaviour.
@@Menre-Ayeslol you must be joking
Poor Ghana ,you can't even afford ticket money to Saudi... Stop your propaganda, there are more Nigerian in Saudi than the rest of west African nationalities
My teachers, Maths teacher was Mr Mensah, Agriculture was Mr Adjei, Account was Mr Wilson, English teacher was Mrs Ofosu, her husband was a doctor in our General hospital, and so on.
Most of our people died along the way especially at the Togo 🇹🇬 border and semer border most of our family didn’t make it back home and Nigerians killed a lot of our people ,the same people we helped gain their independence and even stop their Biafra civil war .we will never forget this sad horror
If only you listened to the commentary with open mind, you will know that Nigeria took the right decision. Ghanaians were constituting nuisance which includes prostitution, armed robbery, pickpocketing, burglary, car hijacking, petty theft, scam, drug trafficking, human trafficking and other criminal activities.
@@lukoadams1995 what do u know about Nigeria politics, it’s a tactical move ,that’s why your political leaders keeps playing with your mind till date ,learn about your country looks like u really don’t know the country Nigeria 🇳🇬

@@africanzone2646
... and what do you know about the Ghanaian politics and economy? Since inception, it's on record that Ghana has suffered bad leadership. The reason for the consistent and persistent coup d'etat in Ghana. The reason JJ Rowling, a foreigner, toppled the corrupt Ghanaian government was basically due to large scale corruption and bad leadership. He went further to execute all of them. Prior to 1st July 2007, the ghc was exchanged for $1 = ghc 10,000. In order to reshape the Ghanaian economy, the then president introduced the redenominations of the Ghanaian currency. In doing so, 4 digits (0000) was removed to equate the Cedi and the USD. Unfortunately, no economy shrouded in falsehoods survives . Ghana is not a producing nation. It largely depends on imported goods and services for survival. Sadly, the Ghanaian government is presently going the way of pre- "Ghana Must Go " era. Recall that Ghana is officially bankrupt following the collapse of its economy and crashed of the Ghanaian Cedi. Today, the Cedi is exchange for around $1 = ghc 13 to 15. This simple means that if you add the 4 digits, the exchange rate for $1 will simply amount to ghc 130,000 or ghc 150,000. Either way, the Ghanaian economy is still in shambles.
Another deluded Ghanaian 🇬🇭! Go and read your history and appreciate how Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe mentored Kwame Nkkruna and educated Ghanaians on how to use the media to fight colonialism. He did that using his newspaper, 'The West African Pilot'.
By the way, Ghana under Busia expelled hundreds of thousands of Nigerians in 1969 during the civil war in Nigeria 🇳🇬.
Thanks for this brother
I'm watching From TEMA Ghana 🇬🇭
This story doesn't really matter to me.
Because now Nigerians come to Ghana to enjoy freedom And Free Electricity.
But some years ago Nigeria was better.

I am ghanaian and i remember these days
Oh is it? Interesting
Don't forget that Ghanaians expelled Nigerians twice before we retaliated. In 1954 and 1969. I am not saying that mass expulsion of Africans by other Africans is wholesome, however, it is fair to enlighten those who might not be aware of this fact, so as to put this event in the right context.
I bet you conveniently do not remember when in 1969 Ghana expelled hundreds of thousands of Nigerians, many of whom were born in Ghana and had never set foot in Nigeria.
@@Geraldwalton-k6r you are twisting the story, nigeria rather did it twice, 1983 and 85, show me a full ghana community in nigeria?
@@Geraldwalton-k6rwere Nigerians killed? Nope! So why killed the Ghanaians!
Beautiful Documentary
There is also 5 to 7 million Nigerians in Ghana now and it is too much they are invading us we must be careful they should do something about it before is too late
We are not arm robbers
there isnt even up to 1 million nigerians in ghana stop lying
Even 100 Nigerians in Ghana should also leave simple just like what South Africa did.@@samiroanya4085
you are crazy, anything you do will always bounce back at you
do what
No African country will be able to develop without the help and support of other African countries.
But now look at Gh thriving as they should ❤
And always will
Now I understand why growing up folks use to say God is not like a Nigerian.
I remember this period very well. I also remember my uncles snd aunts sent back from Ghana losing everything they ever worked for including houses they built there. I remember my parents having to house some of our family members deported from Ghana with only there clothes on their backs, while we have Ghanaians neighbors
A Ghanaian building house in Naija with shoe maker job lol, bring another story
@@fesderi3933what you fail to understand those building were usually teachers. There were skilled and unskilled immigrants
@@fesderi3933 you cant find a full ghanain community in nigeria as at now and till date i dont see none. i mean a community with a chief like how we have the igbo and yoruba community and chief in ghana. proof is on youtube and you can see them celebrating their yam festivals and others. i hardly doubt theres is such in nigeria for ghanaians
@@fesderi3933Wu mama tw3
Have you interviewed Ghanaians how they were treated in Nigeria? Please stop that.
But today more than 6 million Nigerians living in Ghana. Time is change. Long live mother Ghana forward ever backwards naver 🙏
Damn this is low-key sad to hear
very very sad dear
@ African Biographyics thanks for this video but to be 💯 fear between the two countries, it is only fear you equally make a video on how Ghana first expelled Nigerians from Ghana both in 1954 and 1969. And be honest when doing that … thank you
What happened to Ghana in Nigeria is now happening to Nigerians around the world for about 2 years now no visa for Nigerians in Dubai
Anything Nigeria is always popular,even when Dubai decide to stop most African countries visa , everyone will tag Nigerians , when south Africans doing xenophobic against Zim , Mozambicans, Ghanaian, Togolese, Burundian, Tanzania everyone will tag Nigerians .. a Nigerian have the best chance to get any European,Asian, American visa than any African ,the records are there , Nigerians are the highest Africans getting visa access to the rest of the world than any other Africans
@@fesderi3933 what the guy is saying is true, nigerians did their wortst to ghanaians and other african countries. many ghanaians died in the sea and at the togo and benin border. you can see clearly what nigerians did and nigerians did it twice, 1983 and 1985. so clearly nigerians are being rejected. recently see what is happening in plateaur, over 200 people massacred. i learnt buhari deported ghanaians to bring more fulanis into nigeria. Glad those videos will be online to educate the younger generations fo what really happened. when these foregin countries ban africans, is normally nigerians who cause all these ban issues everywhere. is better nigerians learn to change their behaviours and mindset.
The thing dey tire person!! everytime Nigeria Nigeria.@@fesderi3933
So you don't know that Ghanaians are denied visas in the UAE, You thought it was only Nigerians
@@Arizonal87 so asky why even our own african country seychelles banned nigeria? and who or is the cause of this UAE vis ban to all the african country? there are a lot of nigerians using ghana pasport.
Ghana started expulsion.
Nigeria and Nigerians had no regret of Ghana must go.
Now is Nigerian must go😅😅😅
Knowing politicians as I do now, I have no doubt that this was indeed an attempt to divert attention from the failings of politicians.
Nigerians are now migrating to Ghana for better living .such is life 😊😊
The first though was in 1969 when Ghana deported illegal aliens including several
Nigerians under the Alliance Compliance Order under Prime Minister Busia.
They don't migrate. They stay temporary. Trust me no Nigerian want to waste thier life in the harsh environment of ghana
But today more than 6 million Nigerians living in Ghana time changes all the time forward ever backwards naver long live mother Ghana
Thank you for this information, as heart-breaking as it is. Hopefully we can all learn from this and do/be better as an African people going forward.
Sidenote. We need to find a way to keep our leaders engaged with the general population and those they serve. Political power separates the ruling class from the layman and they often have no idea of the extent of their decisions. I'm South African. We cannot have public servants using private hospitals, taking their children to private schools and commuting in private vehicles, they have no stake in the public services they are in charge of. Why would you care that the trains are perpetually late when you never take one, you cannot voucher for the quality of state schools because you don't even know where they're located. You hastily expel foreign nationals because you don't see the day to day contributions they make on the whole. You should punish crime as crime, where's the value of making a nationality distinction? It isn't better to be shot and robbed by my countrymen....
Poor Ghana people, they always start a fight that they cannot finish. They hit Nigeria people first and Nigeria people hit them back harder. What followed? Ghana Must Go came to stay.
What war we still winning we sent u ppl out twice and we will send u out again still ur ppl are running to Ghana and running there mouths while fleeing from that big for nothing country who don’t teach there ppl about respect and maturity u ppl keep playing ghana we left and made our country better ur ppl still be saying how when Ghanaians were there they taught u ppl sense and were ur teachers etc Ghana is still winning and Ghana is a better place to be we didn’t kill ur ppl when sending them out but u did it to us and we mature enough to let it go but u ppl love to talk about Ghana must go trying to talk rubbish but now Ghana is the place u still come to funny you

I pray this video makes it to South Africa.
GhanaMustGo…was good..! Ut hardened Ghanaians to rebuild their nation to be attractive, Ghana is today one of best African countries and Nigerians today enjoy Ghana even seeking Ghanaian citizenships. Almost 7 million Nigerians have resettled in Ghana.
JJ as Ghanaians call him is one of the best military heads of states Africa ever had. JJ came at the right time, to stop coups in Ghana, stabilise, and lead Ghana to become one of the best democracies in Africa. His soul RIP.!
This is how you mugu ghanaian wrote propaganda,what is the population of EWE,GA people,Asante people in Ghana that you having 7m Nigerians in your poor Ghana, so 1 out of 6 people in Ghana is a Nigerian.. even the Ewe aren't even up to 7m.. at the moment Ghana is on debt default with IMF cleanup exercise ongoing,ghana debt to GDP ratio is 120%, Ghana is among HIPC highly indebted poor country... Nigeria still remain the number one country outside Ghana where most Ghanaian immigrants are living,there are Ghanaian living all over Nigeria federation.. GHANAMUSTGO PART3 will surprise you

You are not educated. That’s why You don’t know the economic problems of Nigeria.
Poverty in Nigeria is more than Ghana. 43% of total population of Nigeria live under poverty line. That’s about 94 million Nigerians are extremely poor. Do you know what that means?
The Fuel subsidies scrapped by Tinubu has even increased poverty the more. Poor Nigerians live under one dollar a day.
Ghanaians come to Nigeria to do business not to stay there. It’s dangerous to live in Nigeria, too much insecurity…kidnappings, robbery, tribal and religious fights, Fulani headsmen, yahoo yahoo etc etc.
There are 7 million Nigerians living in Ghana 🇬🇭 and they enjoy the freedom and 24 hours electricity and peaceful night life. Most are applying for Ghana citizenship. No matter how bad Ghana economy is, it’s good for Nigerians living here. They enjoy Ghana.
GhanaMustGo made Ghanaians Strog to build a Ghana better than Nigeria. Abi..and you know it. Ghana we love our small peaceful Great nation which gave Nigeria independence from colonialism. That’s Ghana 🇬🇭 a blessed nation.

Thanks for proper research that is factual and even better…the narrative
The first though was in 1969 when Ghana deported illegal aliens including several
Nigerians under the Alliance Compliance Order under Prime Minister Busia.
The actions Nigerian government took 1983 was retaliation of what happened 1969 Nigerian must go by Ghanaian government.
Today both countries never learn from history.
Ghananians continues to insult and humiliating Nigeria and Nigerians in their country, forgotten that Nigerians are watching.
The treatment Nigerians are receiving from Ghanaians both home and abroad are alarming
Both are as bad as each other.
Ghanaians aren’t doing shit to u it’s rather u ppl bringing it upon urself and constantly looking for our trouble not the other way around it’s rather u that we are watching the two expulsion are not that same and for different reasons but yours was done in humanely and with disrespect if u do ur research well we Ghanaians don’t talk about it because we don’t use it to put u down but u ppl are constantly using Ghana must go to attack Ghanaians and talk us down u ppl are rather the ones who need to learn the history and shut up

True spiking am feel sad bcz i was thinking this happen only in south Africa. Then they happen before South Africa 😭😭😭
There is a big difference between the Naija/Ghana rivalry and the violent, vicious, murderous xenophobia of South Africans. Aside from the politics of our useless leaders, Nigerian and Ghanaian quarrels are like sibling rivalry. It rarely, if ever degenerates to hatred.
Your channel is teaching me that most of recent African history can be summarized as Coup d'état --> Brutal tyrant --> Misery --> Rinse, repeat. 😢
Nigeria sounds like a basket case country.
Ghanaians please stay in your country. You people lack shame. In 1969 you people removed 300000 undocumented immigrants from your country during the Nigerian civil war. Yet you people are always playing the victims all the time you guys are so irritating and when Nigeria deported 2 million illegal immigrants we are the bad guy.
😀😀😀😀 second do they pain pass.
#Ghanamustgo# beautiful bag 😂😂😂😂
You know the irony of this story? Nigeria is about to be what Ghana was then. The signs are all over the place; a rapidly declining currency, exodus of skilled young working population, corruption and a rapid erosion of the middle class.
Nigeria can't be poor as Ghana,you talking about economy and currency, the Ghana fragile economy has already collapsed with excess borrowing,Ghana is on another debt default with another IMF cleanup exercise ongoing, Ghana gov are broke ,they are signing deals with their resources to get back only 11%, ghana is among HIPC... you know nothing about Nigeria federation, Nigeria isn't like those small countries,there is no sector Ghanaian can compete with Lagosians talkless of the whole Nigeria federation, the local and foreign investments alone in Lagos is bigger than Ghana economy ... Nigerians are 20% of black people on the continent,the country can't lack professionals no matter who travel out .. just look for money and invest in your filed and stop your negativity, Nigeria offers more opportunities than any African nation ,the records are there .. person like you don't even know that Nigerians even control big part of Ghana private sector,there are more Nigerian own banks than local Ghanaian banks inside ghana
@@fesderi3933 what a load of word salad. What is your current balance of payments, purchasing power of your citizens, quality of life? Is the sign of a strong economy the one where 70% of its young skilled population emigrate to other countries annually?
I am an employer of labour and I know how difficult it is for SMEs in Nigeria today. I also know for a fact that the middle class has been completely eroded. What are you on about?
Ghana will never go back like that again God will continue to rise
