EXPELLED FOREIGNERS POURING OUT OF NIGERIA By The Associated Press
Published: May 5, 1985

LAGOS, Nigeria, May 4— Thousands of illegal aliens, carrying mattresses, clothing and cooking utensils, poured back across the borders to their homelands today, ordered out by Nigeria's military rulers.

The foreigners had been attracted to Nigeria in part by an oil boom in the 1970's, but now the West African nation has deep economic problems and an increasing crime rate, which it attributes in large measure to the immigrants.

On Friday, the Government of Maj Gen Mohammadu Buhari opened its borders to speed the expulsion of 700,000 foreigners. It was the first time Nigeria's borders with Benin, Niger, Chad and Cameroon were open since April 1984, when the Government closed them to combat the black market in the country's ailing currency, the naira.

The aliens, who were ordered out last month, were part of the second wave of foreigners to be forced from Nigeria by the Government in three years.

Reporters at the western border with Benin today said Nigerian customs officials were searching the departing foreigners closely and refusing to let tiem carry out more than the 20 naira, or $17.65, allowed by law. They also said bus drivers were doing a brisk business charging twice the normal fare to carry passengers across the border.

The illegal immigrants were among the millions of West Africans, mostly from Ghana, who flooded into Nigeria in hopes of benefiting from the country's oil-based economy.

But world demand for oil has waned and the price has dropped, sending Nigeria into a steep economic decline and swelling its foreign debt.

In January 1983, the civilian Government of President Shehu Shagari ordered out about two million foreigners, blaming them for widespread unemployment and crime. Roads to the border were clogged with people carrying personal belongings.

Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari overthrew Mr. Shagari in December 1983, and last month the Buhari Government announced it was giving the remaining illegal aliens until May 10 1985 to leave.

But until the Government opened the borders on Friday, only small groups were reported to have left on planes and ships.

The state-controlled Lagos radio reported Friday that Interior Minister Mohammed Magoro had met with ambassadors from neighboring countries whose citizens were affected by the expulsion order. The radio quoted ministry officials as saying foreigners would be driven to the borders in ministry vehicles or allowed to buy airline tickets with Nigerian currency. Ordinarily, foreigners must pay in foreign currency.

Ghanaian officials said about 300,000 of the 700,000 foreigners were migrant workers from Ghana. Officials said 100,000 were from Niger and most of the rest from Chad and Cameroon.

In addition to the attraction of Nigeria's oil boom, many of the non-Ghanaians came to Nigeria to escape drought and the threat of famine in their home countries. ---- BENIN BLOCKS HUNDREDS COTONOU, Benin, May 4 (Reuters) - Several hundred illegal aliens, expelled from Nigeria and barred from entering Benin, camped Friday night in a no-man's land between the two countries, witnesses said today.

Benin border officials, who turned non-Benin nationals away, said that Nigeria's opening of the border had surprised them and that they had received ''no clear instructions'' on how to deal with the influx of aliens.

Benin officials said they were justified in rejecting non-Benin nationals since many of the aliens might try to stay in Benin because they had no money to continue their journey.

No vehicles were officially reported to have crossed the frontier Friday, but witnesses reported that many minibuses and private cars with Nigerian license plates had entered Benin along isolated bush tracks.

Foreigners who went through the bush will now have to obtain permits to travel through Benin, a tightly controlled Marxist nation, if they are to reach their final destination.

Although what Buhari did was silly, Nigerians did not kill any Ghanian.
These are 2 different things.

Koffi Bushia asked Nigerians to vacate Ghana in 1969, so its payback not xenophobia.

The news is as fake as the op because the link is fake and the op is also.

Hmmm....That's history. Never knew that. And the sillly brits didn't even mention that.

Babalegba:
why are Nigerians so dull. Try and read books sometimes so that when you get to nigerian history you would know that shagari a democractically elected president kicked the Ghanaians out and moreover the ghanaians kicked out the Nigerians first. Ibo troublemakers, always out to destabilize Nigeria. Enemies of the Nigerian state.

so Igbos are working with bbc now?..Odeme

Ghanaians should know that yulobass were the ones who connived with shehu shagari to send them packing from Yulobaa land not Nigeria.

No Ghanaian was sent packing from Enugu, PH, Calabar and other Eastern cities.

thehannibal:
Yulobass were the ones screaming "Ghana must go" in the streets of lagos and ebadon.

They accused Ghanaians of initiating their kids into witchcraft societies, and taking their tiger claw faced wives.

lol
guy,u harsh oo.haha

Brilliant response.


Actually it baffles me the enormous energy being expended trying to cast the South African barbarity in light that would lessen criticism. When those students were lynched ALU Nigeria,youtube nearly crashed with world wide condemnation of Nigeria. Nigerians were cussing Nigeria the entire world were cussing Nigeria. Even when there was a post on Niraland claiming that a Liberian woman had killed herself because of ostracism, everyone cussed Nigeria in the harshest of terms. And yet this South African barbarity is indirectly being soften by trying to compare it to the expulsion of immigrants by Nigeria, such expulsions that happens to a greater or lesser extent all over the world. And one which Ghana even perpetrated against Nigerians and hardly anyone knows because Nigeria shrugged it off.


I'll return again like a broken record to the instance when two Nigerians were murdered in Guinea accused of child abduction. On every African forum i found the ugliest sentiments were being expressed by Africans including Ghana people. Nigerians should be killed, burnt, chased out of every country because we are uncivilized, no one likes Nigerians; kill them; kill them, i hate those people with a passion; etc etc


Even now, in spite of the fact that South Africans are doing the killing it is as if Nigeria is the country under attack.







AND even when Ivorian and Senegalese tossed Nigerian Christians into the sea the WESTERN MEDIA managed to turn it upside down and accused Nigerians of doing the Killing

Both BBC and most Nigerian Youths lack a sense of history! Buhari introduce history from Primary 1 to PhD level in Nigeria

Nigerians did not kill Ghanaians. So I don't see where the comparison comes in

So, the illegal immigrants Buhari expelled were not allowed to leave with more than 20 naira? I can imagine the immigration officers extorting the poor immigrants of their hard earned cash in the borders. Some people will never change.
