Ghana must go (1983)

- Over a million West African migrants, most of them Ghanaian, were ordered to leave Nigeria at short notice in 1983. The Nigerian economy was suffering a downturn. But hundreds of thousands of Ghanaians then found themselves stuck outside Ghana's border unable to get back home. Alex Last has spoken to one Ghanaian who took part in the forced exodus. Photo: Migrants leaving Nigeria wait at the border to enter Benin.
In 1983, when Shehu Shagari was the President of Nigeria, an executive order was given to immigrants without proper immigration documents to leave the country or they would be arrested according to the law. Most of the immigrants were West Africans and mainly Ghanaians. Over 2 million men, women and children were affected. Incidentally, in 1969 Ghana also expelled Nigerians from its country. In 1969, Ghana enacted the Aliens Compliance Order in which hundreds of thousands of immigrants, most of which were Nigerians, were forcefully expelled from the country.
We still love Nigerians because this was done by the same wicked Nigerian politician and not the Nigerians one love naija 🇳🇬 and ghana 🇬🇭
Well spoken my fellow africa brother / sister
We love Ghana with all our hearts..one of favorite musician is sarkodie
It is not u that said this but it was revealed to you by the spirit....
Nigeria is big enough to take everyone in it..
God bless you
One love, same ruler but same good pple.
As a teenager growing in my father's house, I remembered my mother protecting and housing a Ghananian man a brickyer against the hostility from neighbors. When asked why are you nice to this stranger? my mother, replied she has children overseas and would want them treated fairly. That generation of good and great hearted African mothers have passed away. ironically, Ghana is better off now. God bless Africa.
Im from southern cameroon My dear U just made me CRY
So I guess u understand whn some ghanaians show hate to Nigeria
@Micky Adbu shut up we happy here 😙
Good bless ur family ❤🇬🇭
Thank God they sent our Ghanaians back.. together we will build Ghana.
Don't mind them this Europeans won't to seperate us always why are they talking about it now, let back on bee back on.
@@oseitrixymaryna280 Osei, it is to remind us of what we went through and what we had done before to be so retaliated. We were the first to send the Nigerians back home in 1969. They deemed theirs a justified vengeance.
The most important thing for us all to consider, now, is whether similar actions could happen to us again. The Europeans may well have their own motive behind this new release of the story. But to us, we need to be grateful that such re-telling of the story could keep us on our toes to demand of our own Governments Policies and actions that would help prevent us from taking Economic refuge in other Lands and risk such a horrible forced return home.
This is why we should not dwell too much on our Ethnic or Tribal differences to undermine our national Unity, but instead encourage all to participate in our Nation's building with innovative ideas, new strengths and better ways to utilize our resources in the best interest of all. Our Politicians must be aggressively discouraged from looting our Funds for their personal selfish ends.
God be with us all!
Long Live Ghana!!!
Oseitrixy maryna u are right
Illegal immigrants.. Don't be daft
@@onweobinna2644 You've been worse than Daft in your responses. And, you say what? At first, I thought you could be just some pitiful puerile ignoramus pontificating. But as more of your comments kept streaming in, it became clear that you were deliberately obnoxious, and unwilling to concede to truth. Sheer wicked, I guess!
This story always inspires me. That was the generation of our parents, now it is our turn to take Ghana higher and global. We are no longer poor and destitute by God's grace 🙏
So is Nigeria too as a matter of fact they are richer than Ghana.
You can never break the spirit of the Ghanaian. In difficulty we dance and sing.
Ghana first deported Nigerians in 1969 during the height of the Civil War in Nigeria, against the Geneva Convention. A country is not allowed to deport persons to a country at war, even if they are illegal immigrants. Yet despite the egregious act Ghana committed against Nigeria, for more than 20 years thereafter, Nigeria helped Ghana financially, substantially and significantly, during decades of Ghana's economic collapse and hardship living. For some odd reason, Ghanaians don't seem to remember the good Nigeria did for their nation; they only remember the 1983 Ghana Must Go exodus from Nigeria.
While I don't agree with either Ghana or Nigeria, it's important to state the fact that Ghana is guilty of the first deportation exercise of Nigerians in 1969. Africans must stop hating themselves for their continent to heal and move forward.

True but this was done by the Nigerians in retaliation to what we did to them first, The Aliens Compliance Order.

You said it right but the inhumane way the Nigerians did it is what brings it the most attention.
Nigerians were ASKED to leave without violence. Ghanaians were tired of being Disrepected in their own country. Ghanaians were being insulted left right and centre. Nigerians trying to stop Ghanaians from even entering certain places in Ghana. After they were allowed to step up shop. There was a big difference.
@@ricolon-don7779 Stop lying, how old are you in 1969 . Ghanaian government deported Nigerians in 1969 because they occupied the economic hub in Ghana. Nigerians emigrants were very wealthy and owned many properties in Ghana then . The Ghanaian government gave them 48 hours to leave the country, many of them left their properties in Accra and other regions behind which Ghanaians now own illegally.
@@JoinOnasanya-pc8js you are Chatting shit all till now I'm surprised Ghanaians are letting Nigerians still enter the country as it was then Ghanaians were humble and allowed Nigerians to take advantage after allowing them into the country they got fed up of getting disrespected! Wouldn't you?
Tell me what Nigerians did for Ghana after being such a rich Country??
I am a Nigerian and that is the must shameful and disgraceful thing Nigeria ever done in retaliation of what Ghana did to Nigerians in November 1969.
I had Ghanaian teachers growing up.
We should have United Kingdom of West Africa (UKWA).
You know, we can't sometimes blame them. They made decisions they thought was best for their people......
This decision was taken by Fulani government, they didn't chase out Nigeriens, Chadians and other Sahelian countries.
They were afraid of Southern Domination.
Nigeria should have been the most powerful country in Africa but some people chosed to tie us down. We will deliver Sub Sahara Africans from modern slavery and the main one coming from the Eastern world. Nigeria is beyond repair without a war,. But who will lead? Will this current government just back down and let us be? We will be great again. Referendum or no referendum, we will go!
@@enockagyire7547 Ghana made the first mistake.
Stfu Ghana did it first
Action and reaction is equal and opposite: in 1983, Nigerians launch Ghana must go, in the year 2020, Ghanaians launch Nigerians must go. Always be good and be kind with your neighbour, if today is yours, tomorrow will be someone else, any position you find yourself today do it well because of tomorrow, no condition is permanent.
But we Ghanaians must remember during Dr, Busia regime, he passed a law for all Nigerians to go back. It was sad moment, because most Nigerians were brought to Ghana by their great grand parents which some of them were born in Ghana, and those who brought them some had passed away. Many of them didn't know which homes they were returning to. Can you imagine lived in Ghana probably over 60 years to be told to go back home. Many of Nigerians had then established very well in Ghana at that time, were forced to sell their houses and properties very cheaper to return to Nigeria. Some of my classmates were Nigerians which I didn't see them again. But we the Ghanaian citizens didn't have problem with the Nigerians at that time, but it was president Busia who passed that law in the late sixties. I was then 10 years of age, and within 2years I joined my parents in abroad. What president Busia did to them was very bad especially for those who were born in Ghana. The transition was so huge for them, that many of them didn't make it to Nigeria.
Thanks for this explanation it is great to have share this to make both countries learn from the past and make better choices for the future.

@@jcjohnson628 I concur! The Ghanaian Administration at the time was myopic, and lacked empathy. I still remember the emotional toll of seeing the evicted Nigerians torn with stress and fear of what they could not know awaited them upon return. Physically, many lost their lifetime cummulated wealth and property acquired in Ghana. Other families had their children's Education permanently disrupted. In fact, families comprising mixed couples of Ghanaians and Nigerians got separated.
Nigerians, also, might have not benefited much from their retaliatory action in 1983. "Ghana Must Go" could have helped the incumbent Government to retain Power. But the ultimate result was not economically advantageous to Nigeria, especially, as she lost many of the Teachers that she had courted from Ghana to bolster the success of her students.
If Ghana could honestly assess how that action really benefited her, I doubt that she would find any benefit at all, in the final analysis. The anticipated Economic boom to the Ghanaian Natives did not materialize. Eventually, the Busia Administration had to embark upon Devaluation of Ghana's currency as its ultimate solution to the Economic downturn, and subsequently got overthrown in a Military Coup for Economic failures.
I hope both Nations would learn some vital lessons from those actions to help them charter an new course for mutual co-existence and progress.
Long Live Ghana!!!

Thank GOD for the deportation, i was among the deportees, i remember those days when i came to Lagos and living in ijola swamp place for only about 6 months when they announced that alliens must go, then was working with Vanni int. security guard in the night shift at Adeola Odeku luxury flats at victoria island, then in the afternoon also roming as shoe maker/shiner inside lagos simens areas and through Nnamdi Azikiwe street, especially simens area behind the first tall building made with golden glasses where those igbo boys were selling shoes, i remember when the annoucement came whenever i go there those boys will warn me saying, *hay omo Ghana de go oo if the day reach you here you go see*, but thinks it was just a joke when they say so. Though in all i managed to left one week before the deadline. We thank to God once again for the deportation i am happy for that because if not the future of many of us was uncertain and because of todays overclouded population Nigeria we see. i have a Nigerian friend here in Europe who always says Ghanaians people opens his eye to traveled to europe because those days Nigerians do not travel much to the west but for some Ghana people Nigeria was a transit point a Nija friend say so.
thanks for sharing. i believe our leaders are the ones sparking between us cus if Shagari had not implemented it, the Nigerians would have been occupied with other matters. I'm glad the appellation was a fortune for you anyways
Am happy for them...... They are developing 🇬🇭❤️🇳🇬
He empowered Nigerians to harm Ghanaians but God in his wisdom knows the best.
Is so Awkward to see citizens here fighting themselves over what the military politicians did, it was not the whole people of Nigeria that was against the Ghanaians. I have been to several countries, and I still think Ghana is the safest country and they have the most caring people. I will rather have my investment in Ghana than to have it in my country Nigeria.
It wasn’t a military politicians instigators doing that but rather an elected civilian government led by no other than President Shehu Shagari .

I'm not in anyway justifying the action of the then Nigerian government. But before this action in 1986, the Ghanaians had in 1969 expelled Nigerians from their country.

and Ghana help Nigerians to gain their independence, go and learn about that too, Ghana help most of the African countries to gain independence, anyway, we are all the same people and together we can build a better Africa, peace brothers 🇬🇭
wow I was one of this people.Hmmmmm Oh My African.?
35 years later Nigerians rather ran to Ghana 🇬🇭 smh
Nigeria ran to ghana ? Dude stop deceiving yourself...that few Nigerians go there to do business...but even till today millions of Ghanaians run to Nigeria for greener pastures

I remember first watcing the news segment at the 10 pm news in London, England.
Ghana must go...name of bag in Nigeria
The bag was named after this event. It was a cheap and affordable bag that many of the Ghanaians used to carry their stuffs back to their country. Hence the name Ghana must go.
Nigerian must go back to home
@@louiswersiy275 when Ghana chased Nigerians out first , they did not even give them time to take their spoons. Their properties are still wasting in Accra. The country should declare those properties tourist site.
Somebody came and drew a line saying this is Nigeria, this is Ghana and look how we’re fighting and retaliating against our own African brothers and sisters. This is a sad state of affairs. I live in England UK and I see what is happening and it is ridiculously sad.
You live in UK. No wonder. You guys with the brotherhood mentality. Right. We don't do that here. African countries consider other Africans as foreigners. We have different realities unlike what most of you think
Ghana will still Ghana for everyone despite bad treatments faced years ago
Where was I when all of these happened , perhaps I was at the bosom of the Lord waiting for who to father or mother me......wasn't born in 1983 therefore I had no idea 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣 ! Was born 8yrs after Ghana must go ,but per what I heard we really suffered as Ghanaians, I was also suffering in heaven 😂🤣 , God is super wonderful 👏 😀 ❤ 💙. Proudly Ghanaian here 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭👍❤😀
Ghana also did this to Liberia in 1964!!!
Yes I remember that but then it's all in the past let's leave in love
@@majorusa7498 Absolutely! ❤️☺️ I love all my African brothers; let’s love one another and never live in the past
U forgot to add that the same Ghana received Liberians during their civil unrest
Lmao so Ghanaians do this to everyone. Wow
The west will used propaganda to divide us; I wonder what the reason or etiology of posting such a video. I am a liberian and Ghanian did the same thing to us despite their higher population in Liberia as compared to Liberian in Ghana. However, this will not make me to hold grudges against them. I believe we are all African and we should see each other as brothers and sisters.
Please get your fact right ! There was a refugee camp in Accra called Liberia camp which was initiated bcos of the Liberia war.....However the Ghanaian government only told the liberians the place is no more a camp and therefore they should get themselves somewhere to stay! You can be living as a refugees for all these years ! It was an honor on to the liberians to live freely on their own in Ghana but not refugees but they took it wrongly!......how can you continue to live as a refugee for all this years, is it wrong to habour you as a refugee? There's a saying that people will forget thousands of good you've done for them because of one thing you didn't not do !! Ghanaians didn't sack liberians the government only said they should look for residence because they are no more refugees.
Thank God for my life , l am one of them but l am still alive. To God be the Glory

So what happened in 1969 in Ghana to West Africans?
They were not asked to leave but rather to register as a foreign living in the state like other people are doing in their current country.
They were deporting foreigners especially Nigerians yet nobody talk about it, fuck up
@@albertamensah2285 who told you that lie?
@@dani051000 When i was in School. My best friend father was a Nigerian called Mr Abraham. We were living in Takoradi by then. His father used to informed as how his mothers and father got permit to stay in Ghana. Some people will say what will benefit them. Some will also speak what will benefit them, so please dont decent on me. Because as foreign living in other Country one is deseved to register as foreign.
@@albertamensah2285 I am just telling the fact, the story is there , how Nigerians where deported into war zone. Which was against UN low, you don't deport people into war zone but Busia still went ahead and deported Nigerians into zone .

Prior to Ghana must go there were killings dead bodies on the streets of Agege Oshodi Mushin Ajengule Ogregu countless Ghanaian bodies left on the streets of Lagos the famous is the Black Maria deaths 27 people dead by heat and expiation Nigeria did nothing we were omo Ghana sole bata and so on

Not that Nigerians are running to Ghana or Ghanaians running to Nigeria. What has happened has happened.. This bulshit was caused by the corrupt Leaders of both Ghana and Nigeria. The future matters a lot..
There are loads of them in Ghana now
And loads of Ghanaians have made their way back to Nigeria since 1983. I see absolutely no issue with West Africans migrating to other parts of West Africa.

Where were you when ghanaians first deported Nigerians in 1969
Ghana woman i still can remember like it was yesterday i call her "ghana woman" cause that was the name she was being called but not in a derogatory form tho. I grew up knowing her during my time in a local village where my great grand parents had flea to during and after the "biafra war" unfortunately she died in the year 2009 with no kids, I'm glad the ghanians went back to build their county back, still we shall have our biafra !!!
What Nigeria did to Ghana was so right. This actually lead to their victory in their home
Its just the same way when ghana sent all Nigerians packing in 1970s.
Yes, but I think so many people don’t know this oooo
I am a Nigerian. It was a wrong and economically unwise decision to have asked our neighbours including Ghanaians to leave Nigeria. Ghanaians were working and contributing to the economy of Nigeria. The Ghanaians were qualified teachers teaching in high schools and universities, they had bakeries, faculties manufacturing soaps, toiletries etc and employed Nigerians. When they left there were no people who had the experiences and skills to fill the vacancies. That was the beginning of bad economy for 🇳🇬 Nigeria.
Again, the benefits of ECOWAS were were defeated. No country is an island. Whether Nigerians or Ghanaians we need on one another to build stable economies in West Africa. People said Ghana expelled Nigerians in 1969 and Nigeria expelled Ghanaians in 1983. Now Ghanaians including their police are maltreating Nigerians in Ghana.
These retaliations are not helping any one but the politicians in both countries whose children are in various best universities in Europe and America. I would like Ghanaians to come and invest in Nigeria and Nigerians to invest in Ghana.
When our friends in South Africa asked Africa foreigners to leave their country both Nigerians and Ghanaians businesses were looted and 🔥 burnt down.
For any country to build strong economy it must need foreigners' experiences and skills to participate to build its economy and development.

I am a Ghanaian and I can say, the repatriation of Nigerians from Ghana in the early 1970s was more inhuman
How old were you by then? Stop your rubbish. I was old enough to witness what Dr Busia said and did. You sound stupid
@@MrDerby63 l was old enough to remember that the Nigerian Civil war had just ended. Lost homes and a Country in shambles. How can a Ghanaian Leader do this.

Were you educated on history. In1957 Ghana got his independent. During colonial time what Nigerians doing ghana. Even though I don't think Nigeria had independent to travel in big numbers to other countries. Even the presenter said 1969 Ghanaian deported Nigerian. You are too lazy to listen and put the right information out.

🚨Nigeria’s black mark, and horrible mistake that has painted them until today!
Ghana started. Just the way they started chasing Nigerians away from doing business in Ghana. When this is retaliated 30 years later, Ghanaian will start claiming innocence.
Ghana first deported Nigerians in 1969 during the height of the Civil War in Nigeria, against the Geneva Convention. A country is not allowed to deport persons to a country at war, even if they are illegal immigrants. Yet despite the egregious act Ghana committed against Nigeria, for more than 20 years thereafter, Nigeria helped Ghana financially, substantially and significantly, during decades of Ghana's economic collapse and hardship living. For some odd reason, Ghanaians don't seem to remember the good Nigeria did for their nation; they only remember the 1983 Ghana Must Go exodus from Nigeria.
While I don't agree with either Ghana or Nigeria, it's important to state the fact that Ghana is guilty of the first deportation exercise of Nigerians in 1969. Africans must stop hating themselves for their continent to heal and move forward.

JC Johnson typical African mindset just because someone started it doesn’t means you should also repeat it
@@KofiO-vm8po Yes, hopefully, you read my entire response. I do agree with you that two wrongs don't make a right. My point was to clarify factual events chronicled in history. This way Ghanaians would understand that their country first committed an egregious act of deporting Nigerians back to their country while a civil war was ongoing. Hopefully, once the vast majority of Ghanaians know the truth, they might become more humble and less hate-filled towards Nigerians. Ghanaians are highly xenophobic towards Nigerians, and majority always reference the 1983 Ghana-must-go incidence, and never the preceeding 1969 Nigeria-must-go saga. Perhaps, there are other reasons Ghanaians appear to hate Nigerians. However, I marvel at the level of disregard and ingratitude for decades of financial and other assistance Nigeria rendered to Ghana and Ghanaians during the most difficult seasons of the nation. By the way, it's not just to Ghana but many African nations. I'm just stating verifiable facts.
GOD BLESS you!!!
@@KofiO-vm8po I went to Ashaiman to Pay 1000 cedis water rate , money that I helped my Landlord with because previous tenants ran up the bill. The moment they noticed who I was, they became deaf and dumb and refused to attend to me. I left with my money and later told my landlord I was no longer interested, because they depressed me. Who lost? That’s what hate can do.
