- This video talked about t the volatile relations between #ghana and #nigeria.
The Alien compliance act that saw the expulsion of many foreigners in Ghana shifted the population of Nigeria's Yoruba people in favor of the Igbos.
in this video, I narrated how Ghana covered and protected the Igbos while expelling the Yoruba people in 1969.
Disclaimer: This video is meant to show us how far we have come as two neighbors from rivalry to brotherhood in the subregion.
Please this video shouldn't be treated as propagating who is better than who.
One love GHNG , One love Africa.
Ghana is small but mighty. The bitter truth Nigeria has always refused to accept.
Don't mind them Nd they are afraid of us but they don't know it's God who have choose us for that nothing can change it, and reason they are suffering
@@ekowvilasmens A consolatory oxymoron. Lol
@@alfalfred8722 What about Nigeria is bigger than Ghana? In what, if not land size and population?
How best do you match up to Ghana's legacies, in every reasonable sphere?
You talking trash. Ghanaians is mumus
Where nigeria are Ghana still local
Ghana brother, as an Igbo now I have read and understood, thanks for this masterpiece know is power
Don’t be deceived by this stupid history those with the real story is dead
@@yesohyes9198ur such a dumb guy😂😂😂 do research and Stop fooling, knowledge is power indeed😊
Whose brother deception
Very humble typical ghanian young man God bless you, you spoke very well politely and with respect keep it up you will climb to the top.
He really tried!!! I appreciate his effort!??
Don’t be fooled dearie…..he’s a dangerous snake 🐍. Ghanaians have always been.🙈☝️
@@omokaroojiire + Bhahahahahahahaha. He tried bawo? Ohwi……he tried to 💥 convince you with his drivel/ bonk. You guys let a lying Ghanaian feed you junk.🤮🤢
Ghana is small in size but does mighty things.
Mighty things like what??? SMDH!
Was about asking same question 😂 they keep deceiving them selfs
Facts
Facts
Mighty things like thinking ahead for the good of Africa and not just Ghana herself. Where were you when Ghana kicked the British colonialists out and started financing every other African nation to do same, including that Your generator republic. That Nigeria is the first west African country to oppose Nkrumah on his push for the unification of Africa. Today, how is Africa as individual countries? How’s Nigeria doing today? You people have never had foresights then, you still don’t have it. It’s always about now now now!
Do you even know your first ever President Nnamdi Azikiwe was a police man in Ghana?? I bet you don’t. How he became a police and the circumstances surrounding that, I can educate you on it if you’re interested.
Good day from the border town Aflao!
Youve tried giving us what even a 60 years old about the feud between Ghana and Nigeria is all about i in person have learnt a lot from your presentation thank you soo much for that piece acktually am Ghanaian Nigerian 50 50
Hello Eba-banku 😛
I really appreciate your effort because anyone who listen to this will know that you really worked hard on it. That is why it's very good to always choose the part of truth as Ghana did because it do pay for good. As we can see between little Ghana / little resources and almighty Nigeria / huge resources, little Ghana is progressing with their little resources in every ramifications while almighty Nigeria is going backward in everything with all their huge resources. And many people don't even know that the huge or little progress that is recorded or recording today by Nigeria is just an individual efforts, i mean her citizens has to try extremely hard to proof themselves in any field they found themselves all alone. May God continue to bless Ghana for me and help Nigeria realize herself. Thanks my dear.
@@chigozieosuoha7189 Thank you for your comment 🙏. I think both countries are doing okay in their own unique way.
@@Ekowreelstudios no, Nigeria is not doing ok by her government. I mean they are not giving their best at all.
Am happy to hear your speech ❤️🙏👍am igboman saying God bless you
I had no idea about this. This is why Diaspora who plan to live and or visit Africa needs to watch African News and commentary channels.
Igbo and Asante will always be one. Thank you for the great documentary. And thank you for supporting Biafra. Asante is blessed forever
Yes, Igbo and Ashanti are the worst West African ever, Both tribes are saboteurs, greedy and unreal. Birds of the same feather fly together, abi oo.
It is always good to hear the full story. I know about a bag called "Ghana Must Go", but did not know the origin until I read about the story. Then I realized why my sister's Math teacher; Dr. Prempeh left Nigeria. He was a Math genius in a little Igbo village in Eastern Nigeria. People always said "Ghana Must Go" because they did it first, but never told the story behind "they did it first."
Today, Biafrans are still being massacred in their thousands by the Nigeria govt, and Biafra must be free.
Don’t take what this young man is saying, people with the truth are dead not this man.
@@yesohyes9198 hahaha, apparently u now realize not all Nigerians are the same. Some like you have low IQ and deserve to watch videos from Ajim. Others with higher IQ watch videos from Ekow. Go take Ego pill from ajim and sleep.
This nok guy is an idiot, give us a link showing igbos been killed in thousands
@@samuels2454 wow. thnx 4 this.
@@samuels2454 Don’t disgrace yourself to this myopic people nor agreed to this cut and paste stories or any history that comes from Ghana
Ghana believes She is older but Nigeria is bigger and richer. Pride amongst both will never be thrown away
bigger not richer!!
You’re rich country but you’re suffering more than the poorest country in the world
@@abdulkadimosenye5050 even your oil was discovered by a Ghanian in the 70s , your Nigeria started getting rich in oil only in the early 70s which by then Ghanians we're already rich in gold & buxite, diamond so shut up & learn history
@@royalmajorone8943 Omo Ghana has lost it again. Ghanaians are running to Nigeria taking minor jobs such as shoe shining, shoe mending, palm wine tapping and all kinds of odds jobs and most live in Villages across Yoruba states..
Ghana is older it doesn't believe it she knows it
I am excited and educated as well. Thank you for the wonderful lecture. I would study more.
As at the time of writing this comment I am in Ghana.
It's a lively place to be .
Welcome 🙏
Well done brother Ekow. I learned something new today. One Afrika✊🏿
Thanks for watching
Thank you for this deep-dive. I have heard twice in the past that the Nigerian "Ghana must go" decree in the late 70s/early 80s was a reply to the "Alien Compliance Act" used in Ghana in the late 60s in ways perceived as against Nigeria. You linked this well by painting the backdrop of these events as dating back to independence struggle and the vision for Africa. Excellent take.
Thamk you very much sir.
Nigerians should never have been seen as aliens in Ghana of all places. It was a great betrayal worse than being stabbed in the back by your own family. We married into Ghana and we had relatives we never saw again because Ghana broke families apart. It was 100% wrong and no excuse can be made for it nor for Nigeria’s revenge in the Ghana must Go saga. At least Nigerians who didn’t agree like me today stood up against our government to protect Ghanians who still lives in Nigeria to this day with 3 generations of them born as Ghanaian Nigerian citizens forever protected. We did that. What did Ghana do? Some of them many 30% of the country still dislike us to this day. The government of Ghana is anti Nigerian yet it needs Nigerian business and trade to survive. It just doesn’t make any sense why we can’t get along. Eventually we will choose another Africa country. Maybe far away Kenya even. Nigerians are like a great tsunami and can not be stopped by any race or people.
Both the 1960s and 1980s expulsion was totally wrong and had the opposite unintended consequences we still see today. We must get along. I have to let you know also that Ghana and Nigeria still have greatly inter-married and its literally impossible to separate. Besides we ain't in the 19860s or 80s anymore to see some kinda "Must Go". We just needa get over it and move on.
Yea he is painting it as if it's a good thing they did
@@ajmotors3716 I know all storytellers speak positively about where they stand.
Thank you Africa especially Ghana, Nigeria, and the entire diaspora for the support shown to me in this video.
I truly appreciate this and don't take it for granted.
This video clearly helps us understand ourselves better and how far we have come as neighbors and also to let us know how two countries with very delicate relations after independence could now be seen as a country whose love for each other is envied by many despite their imperfect relations. These two countries have shown that love and willingness to work together can cut through any adversity and hate.
God Bless Africa.
You are so good, people like yourself can liberate Africa and bring us together with love and harmony, weldone brother
Well done, brother. Well done with the good work.
@@love-heartbamaiyi4258 Thank you so mcuh
@@hammanbanjiram1611 Thank you so much.
I would love to share this history with my friends but the problem i have is, you cannot pronounce the names of the Nigerian leaders so well. You can't even pronounce the names of popular Nigerian political leaders in history like Awolowo, Azikiwe ( Zik) or Tafawa Balewa?.
You've left me speechless indeed knowledge is power. Thank you so much for the insight
Thank you so much Mr. Agyeman
Love this.. Ghana and Nigeria should stand together.
When they come to kidnap and murder Ghanaians?
Yes . We definitely should.
Fight your own fight. Let Nigeria solve its own problems and Ghana solve its own problem.
It can't be possible we want to unite Africa they are not ready , Let there be separated , let them go Thier way, since day one we don't have the same mentality.

Well done Ghana 🇬🇭 very strong nation 👏
Ghana has been leading west Africa since time in memorial. This what most Nigerians don't know.
'time in memorial' how? The name Ghana was stolen from people whose empire didn't even reach the Gold Coast. The original Ghana empire was Islamic and to the northwest of the Gold Coast had and had more in common with The Islamic Nigerian empires of Songhai or Kanem-Borneo.
How or why Nkrumah decided to appropriate the name of a great empire that had nothing to do with his country we will never know.
Although a lot of Yorubas still left behind, bro Accra central British Accra have so many Yorubas descends there mix with Ga's, That's why they have market called anago market and I forgot the other market name where you can get all sort of herbal medicines around timber market...You hear names like Yaabor, bankorley, Aliu, akabey, Gbenga, shola, mokorla and many more
Ummm, my great uncle returned in 1969 with his family, many of them spoke Ghanaian languages till their old age
Its sad. We must make sure this never happens again.
@@Ekowreelstudios God bless my brother, the leaders caused the discord
That is not true. That market is called Anago market because during those days, a lot Nigerian traders were selling in that market. Get your fact straight.
@@benbo7042 Haha which one is not true? Even there's a town call ADABRAKA has a market called anago market and there's Also legos town/Malamata and do you know the history behind those names dumbfounded argument lol
History will continue to be kind to Dr Kwame Nkrumah for his push for Pan-Africanism and rightfully so. Thanks for a valuable education, Ekow.
Yes, the same history will always curse Dr Kofi Busia of the Progress Party. May his soul keep rotting in hell. Amen
😂😂😂🤣😂.
Thats wicked mate 🤣
@@nuridinadams9219 He must have acted against the pan-Africa movement.
@@nuridinadams9219Hmmm. Let him RIP, but I do understand your sentiments. You can trace Ghana’s downfall directly to him.
@@awula5385 He will never RIP, Insha Allah. He destroyed my education passion. My Parents were forcibly uprooted after living in Ghana for many years, even before Ghana declared independence my father(From Kwara State, Nigeria) was born in Accra, Ghana, while my mother arrived in Kumasi at a very tender age. May Busia's bones keep burning, Aameen. Remember that many Yorubas were into trading, and paying taxes while others were teachers, engineers, architects etc. You hardly see a lazy Yoruba person, our mother trading in goods and food. Just name it. The Igbos were into second-hand clothes called " obroni wawu". The Ashanti know all this but choose to follow the stupidity of the blind Dr Kofi Busia , a tribalistic idiot.
Yorubas are still dominant in Ghana but most of them have intermarried Ghanaian tribes especially Ga-Adangbe. I have cousins who are Yorubas but can’t speak and never been to Nigeria, I also friends who are Yorubas but can’t speak even though they are bearing Yoruba names. Igbos on other hand even if they have kids with Ghanaians they still make sure their kids speak the Igbo language or even once in a while take them to Nigeria. A lot of Yorubas in Ghana are Muslims so they stay in the Zongos where we don’t care about tribes. I don’t know which city has a lot of igbos in Ghana but I can tell u when u go places like Cowlane, Zongo Lane, Shukura, New Town there are a lot of Yorubas there but they don’t consider Nigeria their first home.
Thank you very much for this info. Well appreciated and grateful.
And that makes you proud
Larry Sq it is no secret that the Zongos are filled with Non-Indigenous Ghanaians.
You are so right. Growing up in Ghana as a Ga, I thought Yorubas were our relatives. And so much intermarriage until they consider themselves to be Ghanaian with Nigerian roots.
@@africantruth2539 who said so? If I said Yorubas are in Zongos doesn’t mean majority of people living in Zongos are non-indigenous. I said majority of Yorubas live in Zongos cus most of them are Muslims but if you go t places like Dome-Kwabenya, Awoshie, Gbawe etc there are more Nigerians and other foreigners than there is in Zongos. Tribes from northern Ghana are majority in Zongos including some southern tribes like Ewe, Fanti etc even with our tribal differences we all speak one language which is Hausa. Most of you ignorant folks always mistake anybody speaking Hausa as non-indigene forgetting Hausa is the most popular and common language spoken across west, central and some part of North Africa.
A lot of Yuroba people schooled in Ghana in the 50s and 60s and married Ghanaian wives and took them to Nigeria
I'm a Ga Adangbe from Ghana and the Yorubas are our people, our brothers and sisters and our history says we came from Ile-Ife (Yoruba) and we Africans came from Ancient Egypt, Kemet.
Yorubas can’t be trusted! That’s why you Ga people look suspicious..! 🤣🤣…joke!
Yes, we are the lost tribes of Israel. Not converts, but genetically descendants of Yakub!!! We were the people whom The Most High Liberated from Pharaoh, through the hand of Mose! Edom /Rome invaded our original land and we were displaced all over . Many of us came to the West Coast of Africa in 70 A.D through the East and some settled in Spain and thrived until they were later ejected to West Africa. The West Coast of Africa was then called the Kingdom of Judah, before they renamed it to Negro Land to confuse history!!!
The Atlantic Slave Trade centered in the West African region, because the slave traders knew that we were the ancient Israelites who were enslaved in Egypt. We are the people of The Book, The Bible, so don't let anybody deceive you that the Bible is the white man's book. No, it is NOT; it is our history Book. They stole our history and repackaged it back to us in their own image. DO Your research, the truth is stranger than fiction.
@@omokaroojiire I am sorry to disappoint you my friend but we are not descendants of Israel. We know who we are, we still do what our African ancestors of the Nile did. We are Nubians/Kushites who were once the Kemetic people. We are not Hebrew Israelites, Hebrews were referred to the Hyksos who we anciently called the Pa Heka-Khasut. And also Israel is the combination of Isis (spirit/feminine energy) Ra (mind/masculine energy) and El (Heru) which is the manifestation of God consciousness within us while the actual name is YISIR as a group of people. And it was Pharaoh Ahmose who expelled the Hebrews (Hyksos/Pa Heka-Khasut) from Kemet after their mighty rule and they used a biblical lie that biblical Moses who never existed was the one who saved them from the hands of Pharaoh Userma'atere'seteprenre (Ramasu/Ramases meaning Keeper of Harmony and Balance, Strong in Ra, Elect of Ra) and that they were slaves in ancient Egypt, Kemet which is no truth but a lie to promote confusion and hate amongst we as Africans, also we know the most high is Amun Re, Amon Re,Amin Ra or Amen Ra. The middle East was part of Africa and was once the then Palestine not Israel. We were never slaves of ancient Egypt, Kemet but we are actually the same people who later became Meroe. We still name ourselves the same way for example KuAME /kwAME is Amun or Amen for a boy born on Saturday and Ama or KwAMINa (Amin) for a girl born on Saturday and we call water as Nu or Nyu just like the primordial waters of Neter Nu and male is Nyumu/Obarima and female is Yoo/Obaa while a child is generally called Bi/Ba. We didn't have to name ourselves Isaac and the rest of the Biblical names which are European names. We know who we are once again and we also know the Biblical names of the Bible are plagiarized African/Nubian/Kemetic Kushite names which were corrupted and altered by the Roman Catholic church to confuse us into submitting into Catholicism and Christianity and remain mental slaves but in this age of Aquarius (Shango-HeruRakuti), which is knowing (I know I am) We are who we are, so therefore know thyself and you'll know the ancestors and the Neterus (Gods) within for we all in the All (mentalism). We Africans are the Black Christs and the true Black Messiahs because we are the (Heru who will become HeruRakuti, the inner suns-souls, the Saviours and masters within) not the Biblical Yahshua/Jesus of the outside who never existed. We left Kemet because of Arab invasion and conquest. The papal bull of 1493 was issued by Pope Alexander VI "Inter Caetera" in which he ordered both Spain and Portugal to colonize the Americas and it's Native people as subjects. It gave rights to both Spain and Portugal to colonize, convert and enslave. It also justified the enslavement of Africans.
@@unapologeticmystic1703
There are other gentile tribes with different lineage in Africa.
I speak for the negroes. History documents that we negroes are NOT Africans. We, of the negroid race are the descendants of Yakub, and we migrated to West Africa from Judea. It's a highly documented historical fact, so I am not here to debate with you, or anyone else. West African region is complex; the descendants of Ham are in the region as well.
We, the negroes were the ones targeted in Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. Many in Brazil and Cuba still retain their West African language and culture till this day in the land of their captivity , or in the Western Hemisphere! You gentiles also know yourselves as we, the originally "circumcised" people know who we are!!! You can look around anywhere on the globe today and you will be able to identify the people of the Book, by the persecution and the oppression. But we the people, whom "The Book" is written for, understand that the injustices and the oppression are temporary. I will sum it up like this:
If the comment doesn't resonate with you, carry on, because that means it's NOT for you!!!
@@unapologeticmystic1703 Thanks for this ancient of histories. I feel the more we know about our ancient history as Africans the more we'll hopefully get along and exercise some of our original values. Thanks again.
One military guy in Ghana indicated that the Ghana security officers took Gowon's gun, but secretly had Ojuwku keep his.
Today, the yorubas now demanding for what was agreed by both parties in Aburi that would have prevented the war.
Secondly ojukwu was a superior officer, a Lt colonel, while Gowon was a major,a junior officer in the army.
Long live Ghana.
In the 80s the only music I hear in igbo passenger buses when I used travel from the east to the north was always Ghana high life music.
Thinking that , may be those musicians live in nigeria.
Kudos to you, you did a fantastic job!
Herrr King David Ghana 🇬🇭 God bless motherland, gud job.
Thanks for going back to history. .Aye koo
I seriously commend you having done a good job with your report or video and for allowing us to know how the bad blood between the two countries started. It was a very detailed and interesting video that students of higher learning can benefit from as not everyone would have the time to carry out such research. Please, keep the good work.
Thank you so much sir/madam.
Buddy boy you just too malleable. How are you able to get convinced by this Ghanaian hack. SMH 🤦♀️
Look, time is not on our side to be picking up lengthy debates. whether we like it or not, African Unity is imperative and comes first!!
Compare this to a broom in an African Village: "it is impossible to break any part as long as the bunch is bind together. The contrary is the case." Thank you for your participation and be blessed.
I am listening to this for the second time. Your analysis is substantially correct. At the government, both countries are at ease with each other. But there are issues at the individual level among Nigerians and Ghanaians. I am very busy right now. I can't elaborate, I will be back here or via email. Well done for the efforts you put into this.
Thank you!
What you are saying relate to me ,my parents are Yoruba from ede osun state,my father was the only remainant in my village in central region because he was working for CMB in 1971, today 2 of my sister are in Nigeria and I and my other sister are in Ghana.We the Yoruba built mokola,tudu ,adabraka and Accra Newtown, our third generation will assimilate fully into other culture and our Yoruba lineage will be lost, I understand Yoruba the oyo and osun accent but can't flow well,omo Yoruba ni mi eledumare egbe mi oo
Now You are Ghanaian-Nigerian . One love
My maternal great grandparents were Nigerians who moved to Gold Coast in the late 1800s. I have never been to Nigeria before but I wish to visit my ancestral village in Nigeria one day. I recently did my ancestry DNA and it proved that I'm 64% Nigerian and 32% Sierra Leonean and 4%other. I see myself as an Akyem from the Eastern Region of Ghana but I have no Ghanaian DNA in me. I know there are a lot of people whose history is the same as mine. We (Africans) are the same people! We are West Africans / Africans. One Love -True Son of the continent.
History is always spoken to favor the narrator. Other sides of the narrative must also be considered to draw a better and strong conclusion. Ekow is narrating his side.
Thank you so much for your comment but I care to know what makes you think am saying my side ?
I just narated a documented history . I don't think I can be smart enough to fake OAU docs and force words in the mouth of azikwe and nkruma . Am I that smart ????🤔🤔🤔
Great history though your tune and choice of words reveals the dangers in half truths. Nigeria and Ghana are both sovereign states and should remain so. Any narration that suggests that those who oppose territorial integrities are supposed puppets of western countries is erroneous. In Europe what they have is military and economic alliance which is NATO that doesn’t mean there are no borders between Germany and Poland, this is what Nigeria stood for and not the way you paint it making them petty with accusations of envy to little Ghana. Akinyemi’s citation from daily times 1960s does not represent the position of Nigeria but an opinion of an individual.
It was wrong for Ghana to make such public accusations about a Zick’s speech without proof.
Nkrumah had an idea, Nigeria rejected his idea. But making ascertains and unfounded conclusions based on your sentiments makes your presentation a half truth and biased.
Hello, thanks for your comment. Its important to note that I didn't draw my own conclusion. I just told said what happend base on verifiable facts.
Exactly my brother…. This brother is such a liar 🤥. You are smart to recognise his embellishments and spin. The relationship between Ghana and Nigeria is not even that good as we speak.☝️🙈
I now understand why Yorubas are many in togo 🇹🇬.infact almost half of togo 🇹🇬 are Yoruba
They are in Benin Republic calling Ajase and in Sierra Leone calling Eku people, the language of Yoruba were now introduced in Benin Republic
@@love-heartbamaiyi4258 Yoruba are not introduced to both Togo and Benin Republic. They are indigenous to both countries,not only Nigeria. Yoruba land extended to both countries before the Europeans under Berlin Conference in 1800s divided it amongst themselves. Yoruba,although not known as Yoruba in Benin Republic and Togo are indigenous people there. It is like the Wolof. The Wolof are indigenous to both Senegal and Gambia or the Ashanti,who are also indigenous to Ivory Coast and Ghana.
Yoruba as a tribe, is not peculiar to Nigeria. They are spread across Nigeria, Ghana, Benin Republic, Togo, Sierra Leone and Gambia. They're known by different names Yoruba, Anago, GA, Karo Ojire, Aku/Eku, etc. Nigeria itself is an artificial creation of Lugard after the Berlin conference, same as other African countries. It was not well thought through. Northern Nigeria should have been one with Mali, Niger, Chad. Slave coast i.e. yoruba land should have encompassed Nigerian yoruba land, Benin Republic, Togo, Sierra Leone.

I've learned something from it.
Good to hear . Kindly share .
Hi Ghanaian, the wicked Nigerian Government is still hating the Igbos. Yes Yorubas sabotaged the igbos during this war sonif u expell yorubas thats fair. cos of the yoruba Biafra war was won, and who did was Obasanjo the soldier. but today yoruba starts to understand that they slaves to the wicked tribe of you know who. Say no to tribalism.
You know a lot of us read this stuff and keep quiet because we don't even know where to start the debunking from
Your analysis were very correct, what from my view happened was that the British used the government of Nigeria through Belewa the Prime minister to bring the African unity down,
This very video just hit the nail on the head what is wrong with Africa. I am even surprised that Ghana understands that Nigeria is a contraption of different people held together by violence and duct tape. And, sorry to say it, Nkrumah was right. If Africa was united, we wouldn't be pushovers on the global stage. And Ghana was right again in recognising Biafra. That's why I'm not mad that Ghana is going to the world cup ahead of Nigeria, lol.
Have you seen the contradiction in your comment. On one hand Nigeria is a contraption of different people held together by violence and duct tape, on the other hand if Africa is one... The Nigerian experience made Nigerian leaders more realistic than the selfish ambition of Nkrumah who wanted to be the dictator of Africa just as he was in Ghana. If it has been difficult keeping Nigeria together even till today and you think Africa with much more diversity will be easily controlled by only one dictator.
@@amosadewuni460 I know how it looks but what I am talking about is a united Africa not under a leader but a body like the OAU. The army that would protect the borders would be more effective, and economically, Africa can be self-sufficient, and safe from sanctions.
@@mindloci What Nkrumah wanted was united Africa under one leader. This coming from Nkrumah who has changed Ghana constitution to one party state was very dangerous, especially after he has imprison all his opponents was started the freedom battles before they invited him.
@@amosadewuni460 Anyway you may have a point when you talked about the one party system. I saw it as a major red flag. I was just hoping that the situation of the time they lived was necessary that Africa operated as a unit. I also see the opposition from the west whenever Africa wants to unite.
@@mindloci The end does not justify the means
Very interesting video. I now understand the "Ghana Must Go" issu better. I never had these background information.
Thank you sir. there is always a background to what happens. Ghana and Nigeria are definatly not a saint . We have all made our mistakes and our politicians truely undertsand thats why they work very hard to maintain cordial relations with eachother. God bless Africa.
When I visited Nigeria once a person I was with saw some Ghanaians at the airport. He said Omg! They need to go! This was in the 90s. I was baffled as to why he was not so nice about this. I never asked why. I just thought he was ignorant. But now I know.
@@Ekowreelstudios Amen!
Ghana deported Nigeria first
Though you gave good historical background but the major reason why it seems that the Igbos are dominant now has nothing to the Aliens Compliant. It affected my parents, a huge population of Yorubas return after the Alience compliance was called off. Yorubas were still visible much more than any other Nigerian ethnic group into the early 2000s. When Yorubas came back, they started integrating into the Ghanaian system in addition to being in Business. Most parents sent their children to school in Ghanaian schools, who passed through the education system into several professionals. The huge populations of Igbos who came in the early 200s have been in the retailing businesses like spare parts, electricals which has made them to be easily recognised and can easily be segregated from the Ghanaians while there are more Yorubas who you can hardly knows are Yorubas. About 40-50 % of Yorubas are muslims who only use Islamic Surnames who can barely be distinguished from the muslim communities in Ghana.
Nice
You are right, we are easily assimilated people, we marry Ghanaians, our children speak Ghanaian languages, and eat and dress like the majority of the inhabitant. We are loved all over the world because we do not try to take over other' people's land like the Igbos.
@@nuridinadams9219 As an Igbo person am almost offended Nuridin.
@@nzeadidnazi8410 I am glad you said almost. Truth is Hausas and Yorubas don't cause trouble where we go. Fulas and Igbos do. That said, I am very fond of Igbos (I know that sounds wrong llmao)
@@nuridinadams9219 This is very silly and petty. Name which land or place in the entire world that Igbos took over? Some of you can't really shake off your deep-seated Igbophobia.
So u see ! it is clear now 😮 Thanks for sharing with us .
My brother, it's simple huge percentage of Ga tribes of Accra and it surrounding are actually the Yoruba people of Ghana you are asking for. The Yuruba muslims among them also became Hausa. If you want to understand it better just go to Tudu, Nima, Mamobe as well as Adabreka.
I’m Ga and my roots run centuries wishing Ga-Adangme. We also have Yorubas who intermarried decades and centuries ago. So there is a definite Ga-Yoruba connection. However we have our own history.
You really nail it very well, i always wonder what really was rival between Ghana and Nigeria. At the end, we were divided by the west till now and Kwame Nkrumah was right. Africans must learn from history and be united.
As a football fan am just imagining united States of Africa football team. Wooow.
Igbo man is a type that you can have as a brother whom is open in all an God bless you more
This is true. Due to this, my grandparents told me many of this yoruba and Ifé people have to far away. And till date, most of them live in villages for safety.
I have an akan tribal mark just to disguise me.
Wow. that is crazy. so sorry. this shouldnt have happened in the first place.
infact i enjoyed this history. you makes me to understand something important in Africa especially Ghana and Nigeria relationship
I am glad you enjoyed it. please share with others.
I deleted my comment you reacted to. Let me explain better. The reason why it looks like Igbos are the dominant Nigerian ethnic group in Ghana now is simply because most of the Igbos in Ghana are first generation Igbos in Ghana while most of the Yorubas in Ghana are now in their second, third, or even fourth generation. I grew up in Ghana in the eighties, both parents were born in Gold Coast, my sister married to a Ghanaian, this is the trend with most Yorubas. A lot work already in the civil service and several Ghanaian establishments, so the outlook of most Yorubas in Ghana is not different from any other Ghanaians unlike the Igbos were started coming into Ghana in mass in the 2000s.
O ok. I get you now sir. Thank you very much. u summarized it all. Thank you.
i believe there are strong integrations btw Ghanians and Yorubas. There are Ghanians who identify as Yoruba who live in Yoruba land. I met one of them who I have always thought was a Yoruba lady. She spoke fluent yoruba and married to a Yoruba. But she told me she is originally Ghanian.
@@visiontv657 Yes there is indeed a very strong integration, especially with the Ga people .
@@visiontv657 As Yorubas are very accommodating in their land so are they like in other countries, because they are lovely people and easy to adapt
@@nuridinadams9219 Yes am aware they are one of the most hospitable tribes in Nigeria.
Guy this your video deserves a billion views 👍👍👍👍
Thank you bro.
Thank you very much for the Video, it is rich in history. What baffled me was, the fact that the Igbos never had a particular place in Ghana from way back that they inhabited like New Town that can be tied to this history. As a matter of fact, the Igbos are everywhere you can not even imagine on the face of this earth irrespective of the refuge status they were granted at the time in Ghana. They are wonderful and industrious people.
God's favored people the Igbos, always find favor where others don't.
Soy Abraham God loves everyone equally. He does not have favourites.
@@rotimikayode1072 How do you know that? You think God is a social communist like Kwame Nkrumah? Why did Jesus have 3 closest disciples then?
If you draw closer to God, God will draw closer to you. That is the rule in the Bible. You reap what you sow. No favouritism. Belief in ethnic superiority is evil. It was the cause of slavery, intertribal wars, racism and tribalism.
@@rotimikayode1072 And that is the reason I used the term social communist. With economic communism, belief in financial superiority is evil. These two ideologies fit well into ideas that sound good on paper but are horrendous in practice. If you are reading the same Bible, there is a concept of first and last in heaven, in addition to archangels and angels of levels of ranking. What is ethnic superiority is sometimes nothing more than merit for a civilization that has made better decisions and now has the benefit of reaping its rewards, just like the first in heaven, or the angels, or those as you say that have come closer to God, but then you have the communists of all sorts who insist that superiority is evil, without regard to the reality of merit. They always sound the same; "unless you are regarded as equal, you are bad," but there is nothing in this universe that is regarded equal, not the archangels and not the habitable zones of galaxies in our universe, stop kidding yourself
Excellent episode
Thanks for this video.
I am yoruba, my grandparents too were those whom moved back to Nigeria from Ghana back in those days.
Though I never heard the whole story from this angle bcos I was little then, and they've all passed away now that I am old enough to understand things.
Now too the crux of the matter..
Nigeria is on that verge of collapse again . Now it's not only the igbos whom want to leave as ; the Biafra nation. The yorubas too want to leave to form our own YORUBA NATION. And from all indications it is highly probable this year 2022 or next year 2023 and a war might likely happen , because the British slaves from the north whom held Nigeria together have become unapologetical terrorists.
Nigeria is a scam country forcefully put together by the British for their own selfish ambition, and the British are still ruling Nigeria by proxy, through the Fulani terrorist government placed as watchers over it.
Remember you heard it first from me.. A terrible war in Nigeria is Imminent.
Hello, thank you very much for this comment. In my humble opinion, war hasn't been and will never be a choice of solution to the plight of the people. Please with all due respect, try and never let that happen . Africa doesn't need this. Nigeria torn apart will be Africa's craziest tragedy of this century.
@@Ekowreelstudios yes..I agree with you..but we've passed the Rubicon. The dissolution of Nigeria is sure
@@nylnyl. Hello dear by your analogy then a Majority of Africa is a scam because the British drew the border lines for a Majority of West African Countries. Just know that Lagos originally belongs to the Old Benin Empire, go read youR History!

@@Mkym365 ..well , Benin and Yoruba are Very close relatives . And yes, the borderlines are scam
What l would like to know is before the colonialization, who were the people today call Nigerians and Ghanaians then and what were their relationships.
I am a Ghanaian by birth and Nigerian by blood, precisely a Yoruba. I witnessed every minute of the issues. Yorubas were given 14 days( aliens compliance order, ko u,krom) to leave Ghana and many were killed along the road between Ghana and Togo. Most of us suddenly turned into enemies of the Ghanaians mostly from the Ashanti and Dagomba ethnic groups, while the GAA received us kindly, and treated us nicely.
Many of us made it and are now living all across the globe but we shall and will never forget or forgive Ghanaians and Dr Kofi Busia, the architect of evil. Mr Ghedema leader of the Alliance Party warned my people of Busia's evil intention, but my people refused to heed his (Dr Gbedema's) advice and evil falls on us. Dr Busia dies lonely and blind in a state home in London.
Thank God most of us (Yoruba Ghanaians) have made it. I am an example of that.
Awwww. Love you Sir, and glad you survived .
.. but if you shall and will never forgive and Ghanaian what about those suffered from Ghana must go including Stephen who was a teacher , built a house, married a Nigerian with two kids yet was chased out not by Nigerian police but citizens under the police command to flee his home and leave his kids and wife behind and run to Ghana in a very cruel journey just to make it.? You both (Gh and NG) messed up and you all need to get over it and beging to build. You forgiven or not is not a question, its we forging and build bridges not to burn the new ones that our politicians burnt right in front of ur own eyes.
No Yoruba or Nigerian died or is reported to have died from what records show on this expulsion. You've twisted the narrative as a lot of young people do from Nigeria. Remember the expulsion for only 'undocumented' foreigners. Those with citizenship or rights to reside didn't go anywhere.
Let us always do the right things by eachother in each other's spaces and I'm sure we'll get along and improve eachother lives while doing so. Let's be law-abiding as much as possible, wherever we go. Land is plentiful in Africa but we must respect each other and eachother lands.
@@dan.S5050 You know nothing or care not to know. I am probably more of a Ghanaian than you. As a young pioneer member of the Old Dr Kwami Nkrumah party, I am more into history than you. Many Yorubas, particularly from (I know many who were never seen again) Kumasi died between Koforidua and Nkawkwo Nsawom roads. Shame on you if you believe in lies fed to you by your hateful Ashantis. Ashantis and Igbos are the most hatefull people in W/Africa.
Thank you for this history lesson. 👏🏽 truly enjoyed it. I think we need to educate each other about each other especially those of us in the diaspora. I really loved the exchange between Ghana and Nigeria….the insults😂😂 But I’m so glad to know Ghana still and has always had that independent and Pan African spirit. Ghana 🇬🇭 ❤️Nigeria 🇳🇬 I ❤️both countries.
We love you too.
Though appearing to be a struggle between Ghana and Nigeria, between Kwame and Azikiwe, it was actually one between Africa and external domination. Sadly Nigeria and its Monrovia group won and what could have led the African on a united road to chart our history was derailed. Isn't it ironic that Nigeria now has come to symbolize the dissipation of our collective effort? A country at odds with itself sitting at the heart of the African's struggle.
They have their reasons and its even better who want to be with bitter souls anyways
Even Ghanaian political class couldn't tolerate the obvious authocratic and dictatorial tendency of Nkrumah and you expect him to be the President of Africa just coming out of colonialism? Replacing white colonial master with a black leader in a far away country?
@@amosadewuni460 Pls go and read more about Nkrumah. Nkrumah was centuries ahead of Azikwe.
The colonial masters left their puppets in places like Nigeria who helped to usurp and malign genuine leaders like Nkrumah.
Why do you think Nigeria is still messed up today? And what drove the civil war? Azikwe was a puppet for colonial masters, who was used against Awolowo.
The picture with Haile Sellasie is him mediating with both the Casablanca and Monrovia groups.. that is not the Monrovia Group alone
Thank you very much Ekow for this. Many countries at that time gave "Biafrans" (mainly Igbo) refugee status at that time. Ghana (I got to know this thanks to you), Togo, Benin (where they were given what would hardened as "Biafra" market (now Missebo, i think), Cameroon, Gabon (one of the countries that recognized Biafra), Cote d'Ivoire (where a section of Abidjan named Biafra still exists), Tanzania (where a section of Dar Es Salaam named Biafra exists), Zambia (recognized Biafra) the US, the UK and of course France and several other western countries.
This migration sparked the wave of migration from Igbo land which still continues today though it is largely driven by economic interests. It is sad I must admit that despite the tragedy of the civil war in Nigeria, the political elites in Nigeria still treat Igbos as a conquered people. And any attempt by the Igbo to demand for their rights including to peacefully secede from the county is brutally crushed. And it got really bad under Buhari. In fact this was why Twitter was banned in Nigeria.
The Ghanaian response to Jaja Wachukwu claims still sadly holds for Nigeria till this day. Those of them you see claiming to be pan-Nigerian are just fake nationalists.
I never knew Ghana and Nigeria had a difficult relationship. Well it is nice to see the relationship much better these days. But I think it can still improve. The name is pronounced I-RO-N-SI not IRON-SI. It is not pronounced same as "Iron" in English. Thanks for this.
The problem if Africa started with Nigeria. If Africa had united like no other country would be able to challenge us. Imagine a combined military, resources and power .
Thank you for the correction 🙏 ☺
Literally called him an Iron . My Ironsi sound like some kind of science elements.
May take on this is that Nkrumah's ambition was to be the defacto President of Africa and Nigeria derailed his ambition.
I went into history books as well and that's my conclusion.
@@oluakinwale4859 Nigeria didn't raise the question of "who then wud be the president ?". Nigeria has been jealous of Ghana from day 1. They didn't understand why a small country had so much influence in Africa .
@@proudlyafrican3373 They were particularly vexed that "small Ghana" was granted independence first by the Brits.
It was Zik's writing as an editor of a newspaper African morning post that inspired Kwame Nkrumah and made him leave Ghana to America to study in the same Lincoln University that Zik attended in 1930's
Thanks for this effort. There are lots of issues that were going on at the point of independence in both countries that were surely going to set the two on a collision course.
First, Nigeria did not expel Ghanaians, those having work permits were allowed to continue their work while those having non were told to go and regularise their papers. You rightly pointed out that the unfortunate precedence was earlier set by Ghana, not once but twice with Yorubas seriously affected both times. Yorubas had stayed peacefully and law abiding in all West African countries in large numbers before these bad precedences were set.
My main comment would be about Kwame Nkrumah's position at the point of independence of both nations as they relate to the mode of African unity. At this time Egypt and Israel were at war, and Israel had gained considerable influence in Africa particularly East Africa to which it turned in the face of a hostile Arab environment. The main ally of Egypt was the Soviet Union whose ambition was to win over independent Africa to its side from the West. Gammel abd el Nassir called Nkrumah, Egypt's son - in -law and wanted him to initiate moves to form a united African nation with the covert objective of expelling Israel from Africa fearing that Israel could use its influence in Africa to get Ethiopia and the other nations at the source of the Nile to cut off Egypt by damming the Nilein the event of a war with Israel. He was to specifically canvass the making of Ethiopia the Capital to compel Ethiopia to be receptive to the idea. Nassir now brought Nkrumah into Soviet Union's sphere of influence which would be the source of disagreement with Nigeria on the one hand and the polarisation of Africa on the mode of African Union on the other hand. This was also the source of Pro Soviet , and anti West rhetorics for which Nkrumah was well known.
The OAU materialised eventually but not the model that Nassir and Arabs wanted. It must be pointed out that it was Israel's issue that brought Arab North Africans close to Africa to which they had hitherto distanced themselves.
Thank you so much for this detailed analysis.
North-Africa had their interest of which you are totally right. We should however also point out that Nkrumah also had its own interest with regards to the unification. He was paranoid and suspicious of the west in regards to the development of the continent. The West also had an interest in keeping Africa down because of the history of slave trade, massacres and genocides. They feared Africa certainly would pay them back if they become powerful and united. I can now think his gut feeling was right. He was using the Chinese model in Ghana and there is no doubt that it could have worked if it wasn’t for the serious interference from the West. He built more than all the predecessors in Ghana from education to huge infrastructure. i will say Nkrumah was way ahead of his time. The only Nation that has clearly stood with Ghana with Ghanaian interest at heart is interestingly China. yes, China. i mean the old China.
I personally feel his agenda was overstretched and it made many states suspicious and uncomfortable.
In Ghana, he was vilified and demonized after his over-throw but shortly after he was vindicated and many political parties decided to copy his development model but it was very difficult to execute since it somehow required some kind of iron fisted implementation.
Nkrumah forced Ghanaian ethnic groups and tribes to unite or coexist using some kind of policies on education among others to bring all of us together. According to some Ghanaian historians, he was accused of force cultural imposition and assimilation which was seen as a threat to some ethnic groups or tribes who felt theirs were superior to the others and didn’t want any kind of inter-relations or mix with the other tribes., he forced so many things that back then he was seen as an evil dictator but now we have come to understand and appreciate it. It now makes a lot of sense. He wasn’t a saint but he was certainly not a villain either.
ghana expelled nigerians first in 1963
Nigeria expelled all Ghanaians and gave them 1 week to leave Nigeria. This included those with work permits. To add salt to the injury, some banks that were keeping the savings of Ghanaians refused to let them make withdrawals because they knew that the Nigerian government had given the Ghanaians limited time to leave the country. Not only that , some employers intentionally delayed in paying out salaries to Ghanaians and these Ghanaians left without getting their salaries. Some Nigerians physically chased out Ghanaians and ransacked their rooms and stole their belongings. Some of these Ghanaians who went through this ordeal are still alive and they tell their stories.
@@benbo7042 there are good and bad people in both countries. God is for all of us. Be blessed.

This is most interesting. A few hours before watching this, I had been watching a video about John Adams, the 2nd President of the United States, who enacted four *Alien and Sedition Acts* - two of these expired under a time limitation, Jefferson replaced one with a more reasonable act, and only the Alien Enemies Act, applicable in times of war, is still in force.
But back to Africa. I have learnt a lot from this, but above all that concerns about immigration, etc, are basically the same in Europe and Africa.
Sadly even the igbos who we shielded and protected are ungrateful and against us and say we deported them all. I blame Kwame Nkrumah. He should have minded our business and develope Ghana instead of thinking about greedy and ungrateful Africa. This video is one of the most thought provoking videos I 'd watched on youtube . Thank you Ekow for this.

You're a dummy. No Igbo ever said you deported them.
The most people affected are the Yorubas and they retaliated back by deporting Ghanaians out of Lagos.
From what I heard, Kwame Nkrumah did mind Ghana's business. Factories, improved education, dams and roads that last to this day. His ambitions were derailed by others controlled by outsiders and the child of one of these "controlled ones" rule Ghana to this day.

To always ascribed Yoruba to only Nigeria is wrong history. Yoruba people are not only indigenous to Nigeria alone. Yoruba land and the people are also indigenous to Benin Republic and Togo where they are called Anago and Nago. Yoruba are like the Ashanti and Wolof or Hausa. The Wolof land extended into Gambia and Senegal. It was during the Berlin conference of 1884 that Yoruba land was divided between Germany-Togo,France-Benin Republic,British-Nigeria. Inorder to weak the Oyo empire. The relationship between Akan speaking people like the Ga,Fanti and Ewe with the Yoruba could go as far back. The most recent recorded history of Ga,Fanti Ewe and Fon was in 1764. The Battle of Atakpamé was an armed confrontation between the Ashanti Empire and neighboring Akan Allies under the leadership of the Kingdom of Akyem who joined up with the Oyo Empire and the Kingdom of Dahomey in and around Atakpamé in Togo. The Oyo empire,which was Yoruba led Empire formed an alliance with the Ga,Fanti,Ewe,Fon to stop Ashanti expansion Eastward. The relationship between ethnicities in Ghana and Yoruba from the East is beyond modern times. And that relationship is inclusive of Fon,Ewe and Yoruba from Togo and Benin Republic,not only Yoruba from Nigeria.
There is no point, don't waste your breath; all these people from Ghana (and I'm seeing a lot of Kwa/Kwe.. in the names ... cough cough.) know is "Nigeria is bad, Ghana is good" and they don't want to know deeper than that. Please don't waste your breath but I really enjoyed reading that though 😊

A very good narrative with facts, but you overemphasized some points and de-emphasized some very important points. The threat Nigeria made to take over Ghana was true and that made Ghana so worried. Ghanaian leaders thought the only way Nigerian take over Ghana is through the help of the Yorubas who were very much present in Ghana, well established and controls a chunk of Ghanaian economy at that time. It was that fear that made the Ghanain president to come up with the Alien Act targeting the Yorubas.

Most of their kids who were my classmates dropped out of school to trade in the markets. Their aggressive behavior incurred the wrath of Ghanaians who were happy to see their backs.
That Akinyemi picture was actually Yusuf Maitama Sule.
Ekow let me give you a quick history for you to research about Ghana and Nigeria. Which started long before the 1950's.
Still in the earlier 17th century, 87% of Ghana's land space was known as the Ashanti Empire. It took almost 100 years of war before the Ashantis empire fell in the hands of the British. Many of these wars the British lost to the Ashantis.
Then the final fall of the Ashanti Empire due to advancement in British weaponry and especially with soldiers from Nigeria mostly the Yorubas, Hausas and other (coastal tribe like Fanties who wanted monopoly over the coastal trade with the Europeans) came to Ghana to fight the Ashantis.
Most of them remained in places now most of you know as (Zongos) as direct Labour force for the British colonialist cos the Ashantis didn't want to be part.
Through these wars most people were taking to the carribians as slaves to the extent of kidnapping the Ashanti Royal families into exhile and demanded slaves, golden stool for ransome. If you'll know most of the rebel slaves in the carribians were mostly Akans or Ghanaians.
So it's how come we have Hausas in Ghana but not a tribe. Some Yorubas intergerated into the Ghanaian society cos of similar religious spirituality, but most who were Muslims also disguised as either Hausa or northerners still remained in the the zongos. For those who were affected by the aliens compliance order were the people who came to seek greener pastures in Ghana.
If you should know why the Ashantis in particular have some reservations for the Nigerians it's because they partook in the enslament and colonisation of the Ashanti Empire...
@Rockefeller I'm half Ghanaian and half Nigerian..

@@AlkebulanJahmiah misleading, do tell me which part is the truth...
@@myztroogeegibson3568 I bet you this nonsense you wrote there only knows to you and not rest of Ghanaians
This history is true, The Ashantis don't befriend former enemies , even Ewes (Mainly in Ghana,Togo and benin) and Gas are still seen as enemies by Ashantis and this plays in Ghana politics with Npp being the Ashanti party and Nsc being the part for the rest of Ghana.
Thanks for doing/sharing this beautiful work👍
Mixing up Balewa and Azikiwe though.
Tafawa Balewa was the prime minister/head of government and had the executive powers.
Nnamdi Azikiwe was the ceremonial president/head of state in the same way as the queen of England. But that was when Nigeria practiced the parliamentary system of government.
Today, executive powers lie with the president.
Quite confusing ☹
Okay, look to the British government where they have prime minister Boris Johnson and Queen Elizabeth then place Tafawa Balewa and Nnamdi Azikiwe in those positions in that order.
Again, I'm truly thankful for this beautiful piece of work that you have put out 👍👍👍
Ooooo, I get you.
Thank you sooooo much sir.
United States of Africa can't work every country is better alone but what iknow is we should unite as black people cause people from West Africa are Europe puppets nothing can change that.
Months ago, I read a piece of research on the activities of Yorubas in Ghana in the 50s and late 60s.
The gist of the papers is: as sociological calculations go, when the economic fortunes of a country shrinks, the common people look around, spot the alien/strange face, blame them for their reversing luck and thus birth an intolerance for the foreigner.
If their economic situation worsens, they get physical, dangerous and eventually instigate an exodus or a mass expulsion of the immigrant group, as the culpable failed ruling class who inflame such populist thoughts would eventually execute it for political gains/leverage/popularity.
So apart from the political rhetorics playing a part, that period was economically and socially stressful for Ghanaians. Wikipedia has some details. Eventually, when the Yorubas were expelled back to their homeland, Ghanaians soon followed. And that made possible the disgraceful revenge expulsion of Ghanaians. And guess why that happened? Because the Nigerian economy was taking a bashing due to poor management. The political class was falling, the immigrant became 'the problem', a possible revenge made for a good show and the rest is history.
Ditto for 1920s Germany that led to the killing of Jews etc, the Perennial South African Xenophobic attacks, etc. All stem from populist ideas, the result of a failing/failed economy and political class.
Thank you so much for this. its a great point we couldnt ignore . Thank you again!!
@@Ekowreelstudios Thank you very much for spending time and resources on the video. That reflects your passion for the topic. We've all learnt from you. I hope to gain enough confidence to do the same soon.
Thanks a lot.
You have tried my brother but there are lots of mixed up in ur History about da both countries
Thank you for your comment sir. Kindl share what you know or add what you think was missing . We are all learning. Thank you so much.
This is such a lopsided story. Ojukwu was controlling the Eastern region of Nigeria.
Hello, thank you for sharing. I remember saying this vividly in the video unless perhaps u skipped that part. Also I needed to eliminate details of the whole thing cos it would take a lot of time to cover everything. The interest of the whole story was to land on the Yoruba ,igbo population in Ghana so anything else was just a prelude or the flesh to the main thing.
I hope u get me now?
@@Ekowreelstudios You did a good job to acknowledge the deportation of Yorubas. It showed that Ghana did it first. We can all agreed on that.
So you are expecting to hear Nigerian history from a foreigner? lol
Clearly they had a country called Nigeria so what might had prevented them from going back to their own country when the situation was normalised?.
Ghanaian shouldn't be too closer towards Nigerians, because their existing would undertreat, Ghana is a smaller country, therefore if they push their country towards Nigerians its would create competition. It will come to appoint Nigerians populations would overwhelming Ghanaians small populations.
We can see Nigerians getting more influenced on Ghanaians through their musics and movies, and their accents in English speaking.. Even to extend some Ghanaians a copy Nigerians characters in Temperament aggressiveness.
Ghanaians must find a way to control Nigerians populations in their country, when they pay visit, Ghanaians officials mus5 return them back.
I don't agree . Ghana have its own style. Ghana pidgin has been there since and its not a Nigerian influence . Ghanaians are very cultural-centric and can't be override by nigeria . Mark my words.
Don't be deny, because as things stands Nigerians has over take Ghanaians in many fields in their own country..
You can ask must of your musicians.. Nigerians don't buy Ghanaians music or listen to Ghanaians music..
Must Ghanaians try very hard to copy Nigerians way of life.
Note: Ghana is very small country, therefore inflows of Nigerians in the country would create serious tension as time goes on..already there are serious competition in Ghana small retail market place.
@@healthylifestyleletshareid6060 Nigeria has nevertheless overtaken Ghana! Stop with this BS that you got a huge influence on Ghana! You don’t! We develop Ed our country our own! Our English is completely different from yours! Our music before Afro beats became a trend originally was highlife music from Ghana
@@Chainbreak2023 I edge you to do a real research.. To find out How many Ghanaians musicians are known in the Global. And also how many are award won.
The inflows and influence about Nigerians Ghanaians would slowly overwhelming the citizens.
If you to know the difference, then travel to Nigeria and ask them about Ghanaians musicians.. I bit not single person would remember any of Ghanaians musics.
Just recently Ghanaians musicians were complaining when they try to host concert in Nigeria.. But not single person support them.
@@healthylifestyleletshareid6060 stop the lie, VIP was know in Nigeria here unless you're born today 😏🤷🏾♂️
Waaaw, very Intelligent young man good job
Thank you Mum/Sis.
You telling the story that favors you. You and I know this not the true story. Stop trying to buy people to Ghana side.
Kindly point the lies in it and provide the truth.
@@Ekowreelstudios go make your research very well. One sided story will not help the narrative about how ghana people see Nigerias. I like what you are trying do but the fact is obvious that anywhere Ghanaians see Nigerians, they already see enemies. Now you come to Nigeria and hear from the people who where deported from Ghana during the nigerian civil war.. My I know you're passionate and want defend your country but do it in all fairness and honesty.
I am listening.
Lol Nigerians are funny people. See them battling over whether there are more Yoruba or Igbo in Ghana like there’s a prize to win.
Say that again. They should use that energy to fix their country instead.
Yes it is been fix, 3 refinery and Dangote own are working, i invest almost $5 million USD, 2 weeks ago
They are NOT a tribe of Ghana and as such , he has no kingship in Ghana. Don't start trouble in Ghana.
Boss you have done well but it's not good enough,yoruba have been here since the 19th century,they have assimilated and don't look anything nigeria for the ibo and even their king ,it's a recent phenomenon,even historically ibos don't have kings,they are acephalous,
There have been yoruba ministers ,members of parliament and the likes,
Yoruba are cool people and not domineering,
Tribes such as the the Gas and ewe people of ghana ,benin and togo share some cultural similarities and have roots from ile-efe.
There are Yorubas in Tumu in the upper west t of Ghana and you can't tell the difference between them and the native sisalla.
new town ,in the heart of Accra was "founded "by illorin Yorubas who have been here since the 18oo, the Brimahs and the likes.
One can hardly point to a yoruba if sighted on the street but ibo yes ,too loud,strange language and domineering attitude.
I love Yoruba people ,very resilient and have retained most of their traditions , assimilate well and are proudly African
God bless Yoruba nation.
From a Ghanaian Fan..
You are correct in that Igbos didn't have kings vastly. When I thought back to that clip of the Igbo king I was like somebody just got got.
Actually I just looked it up and there were kings but it's kind of complicated. I just want to correct my comment and state that Igbos did have kings, particularly around Anambra and Onitsha if what I read was correct
You're not from Fan. You're racist Yoruba. Who are very tribalistic. No Ghanaian can be so subtly racist when trying to address a message
