A Nigerian man in a viral video has confidently claimed that Ghanaians cannot send Nigerians back home, as they rule the people of Ghana in their own country.
According to the man, Nigerians are the giants of Africa.
He boldly claimed that Ghanaians can only try, but they cannot send them back home.
Speaking in the viral video shared on X, the Nigerian man claimed, “We cannot let Ghanaians send us back to our homes, and we cannot let them insult us. If they want to try to send us back to our home, we are the ones ruling them; they cannot send us back to our country.
We are the ones ruling Ghanaians; they cannot have the veto power to send us back to our country. They can only try to make it so, but it is not possible”.
“As a Nigerian, I am a giant of Africa. I am not saying anything bad against them; they are my neighbours”, he aded.
Some Ghanaians have reacted to the video, saying, “But it’s a fact. A Nigerian has every right to live in Ghana and vice versa. Because of the ECOWAS thing. It would be impossible for any government to deport all Nigerians, but it must be on record these two nations are sovereign states and no one rules them but themselves”.
“Ghainans would learn the hard way, allowing these foreigners to feel free to think that they’re part of us and even better than we, the citizens.
Very soon, they’ll start dictating, and more of them are already controlling some lands. No hope for the kantry”, another added.
One more Ghanaian wrote, “We no go mind am, if there is no justification to send Nigerians back to their country, why should we do so, but if he strongly believes that we can’t send them back, then they should sack our people from their country and see if we will stand aloof..kasa by heart nkoaa”.
Meanwhile, there is a growing tension in Ghana as some groups of Ghanaians gathered at Accra’s Obra Spot to stage a protest demanding the immediate expulsion of Nigerians from the country.
They accused Nigerians of being behind a rise in crime and social vices.
The demonstrators carried placards with messages saying “Nigerians Must Go,” “End Kidnapping,” “End Prostitution,” “End Armed Robbery,” and “End Ritual Murders.”
Also, Ghanaian traders have claimed Nigerian traders are violating the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) Act 865 of 2013, which bars non-citizens from engaging in small-scale trading. Many Ghanaian traders argue that they are increasingly dominated by foreigners.
Additionally, Chief Albert Baylor Ashaolu, the president of the All Nigerian Community in Ghana, has urged Ghana and Nigeria to come together and find a lasting solution to the dispute.
Speaking on GTV’s Breakfast Show, he stated, “This matter has lingered for some time now, and it will not help the long-standing relationship between Nigeria and Ghana. Our governments, the higher leaders of the two countries, should look into this matter and find a lasting solution”.
“The same consideration given to foreigners from the West should not be applied to West Africans, especially Nigerians. You can walk from Nigeria into Ghana without borders stopping you. Our forefathers wanted integration, and they would be disappointed to see Africans treating each other this way”, he added.
He added, “Ghana and Nigeria cannot be compared with other countries. We are brothers through business, marriage, and history. We should be finding ways to strengthen this bond, not weaken it.”
