A recent protest in Ghana has seen citizens expressing anger towards Nigerians, accusing them of engaging in mass prostitution and ritual killings. The demonstrators were seen holding placards with messages such as “Armed robbery and violent attacks must stop” and “Nigerians are kidnapping and using people for rituals.”
In a viral video, protesters voiced their frustrations, with one woman stating that “Nigerians must go” due to their perceived disruptive behavior in Ghana. Another protester claimed that Nigerians have taken over major markets and are involved in various illegal activities.
This protest echoes sentiments from the past, particularly the 1983 “Ghana must go” directive, which led to the expulsion of many Ghanaians from Nigeria. The current situation has yet to elicit a response from the Ghanaian government regarding the potential return of Nigerians.
Critics of the protests argue that such actions promote exclusion and intolerance, recalling the historical context of the earlier expulsions. As of now, there has been no official comment from Ghanaian authorities on the matter.
