LOL my brother Nigerians are generally nice whether yoruba , igbo or hausa it all boils down to individuals. You need to visit Nigeria to see for yourself.

I have had the best part of my life with an Igbo man saving my life. Hausas and Yorubas are even better.

In Nigeria we don't look at who is Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa. All this craze we do here is all on the internet. smiley

I have quite some good Ghanaian friends as well. Very accommodating and hospitable people also very humble.

Keep it up and I wish Ghana the very best. smiley

Africason: Cherrs for the acknowledgement. Let me tell u one thing though. Ghana gained independence in 1957, and i will admit from that time till Sept. 1961, the British officers were still manning those top military positions.
Read this snippet:

That tells u that @ least from 1962, Ghanaian officers were manning those positions and the first attempted coup was made on Nkrumah.
Another snippet: Till 1961, British held those positions but after that time, those positions went to the Ghanaian officers and it must also be noted that those Ghanaian officers had already being to the Sandhurtsa and Dartmouths of this world.

I am just a student of history in my idle time and I just don't attempt to throw dust unto people's eyes. I give praises when due. I give what belongs to Ceasar to Ceasar. If naija as the 12th largest producers of oil gets their priority right, they could rival the biggest economies in this world, but until that, they would be a green big chicken with mere potential.
Tnks for the research, but am afraid its still of no use, cos Ojukwu graduated form the sch' in 1958, while Obasanjo was also commisioned into the nigerian army in 1959, in other words they were taught by the british..... Once again u tried, one love......

to NigeriaFilms.com that, as far as the

Nigerians should not pay attention to

“Ignorance and illiteracy are obviously
not synonymous; even illiterate masses
can cast their ballots with intelligence,

“If this group should know what benefit
the Ghanaian movie and music industry
have gotten from the Nigerian music and
movie industry, I am sure they will not
be bold enough to sing this music.” He
added “I will not blame them because
not even one of them has spent most of
their life in Ghana to know much about
how far this industry has come” he said
“They said thank God they are not
Nigerians, but Nigerians don’t even need
them because if they were to be in
Nigeria they would have been useless to
the Nigerian society. Even here in Ghana
where they claim they come from, they
are one of the useless music groups this
country has ever seen” he scornfully
added
He lamented that even their name FOKN
BOIS which in actual terms means
bleeping boys should tell you that they

Re: Ghana To Deport Illegal Immigrants by londoner: 3:51am On May 22, 2012
londoner: There is nothing wrong with ANY country deporting illegal immigrants and all countries do this. Whether Busia with Nigerians. Nigerians with Ghana must go........ deportation of illegal immigrants is a good thing, it upholds the laws of immigration in a country.


I must mention though, when there are reports of Nigerians deporting Ghanaians, like a few months ago.

Nigerians here tend to paint it an evil deed against Ghanaians.....probably the same ones applading Ghanaians now.....

It can never be wrong to deport an illegal immigrant unless it breaks international laws of asylum, which that country has signed up to.............

Nigeria needs to do the same to illegal immigrants of all countries including Ghanaians in Nigeria.



@Nayah.......you didn't read it properly, applying the same to illegals from ALL countries is CLEARLY what I said.

You were incorrect.........simple.You should be upfront enough to acknowledge your oversight rather than trying to defend it.........

Na inferiority complex be there problem. We had figured out the social problem ghana had and thats INFERIORITY COMPLEX.

If you don't see the sense of humour in that then too bad. Humour is relative... go find yours elsewhere. Now, what is bad is Africans using the word "black" (skin colour) and "n'igger", etc. against fellow Africans as a way of denigrating them. It demonstrates a level of ignorance and worthlessness I'm yet to encounter on any African forum. I joined this forum during the 2010 world cup because I hoped to find solidarity with my fellow African neighbours. I wasn't disappointed, even though the anti-Ghana sentiment was also quite strong. Can't win them all, can you?

Since then I have hung around to witness every thread about Ghana, negative or positive, quickly devolve into the most asinine statements attacking the people and nation of Ghana. It is also from people who are clearly ignorant of Ghana. I have been to Nigeria before; in 2000 for bilateral games between the University of Ghana and University of Ibadan. The journey took us to Lagos, en-route to Ibadan. The experience was mixed, but you won't hear me trumpeting the negatives, which were many mind you, on this forum. If and when I choose to blurt these out, they'll come in the form of constructive criticism, not a razor-sharp burst of insults.

I try to stay away from topics like this because as much as our individual experiences and lives have been shaped by it, as much as we have imbibed, indeed, lived it, our collective 'nations' and borders are accidents of European convenience. An arbitrary line drawn at whim to give some semblance of fairness to European rivals with a common mindset - the systematic plunder of Africa. The short-sightedness displayed here by some is stomach-turning and painful to watch. I am of the view that the European figures who met in Berlin in 1884-85 to carve up Africa did not in their wildest dreams think it possible to conceive a more sinister plan to sow division among us and thereby keep us from presenting a more formidable, united force against the world economic order. Sad, sad, sad.

Africa has problems. They are bigger than us. We can no longer look on while the ripples created by others steers our ship. We have to take control of our own destiny by harnessing our population, mineral, cultural, and numerous other resources for our own development. "[Independent nations] now, Tomorrow, the United States of Africa."

Re: Ghana To Deport Illegal Immigrants by AdeCharity: 1:31pm On May 28, 2012
jookco: Ghana plans to deport illegal immigrants who were drawn to the country by its economic growth and prevailing stability.

Most of the foreigners are into retail business and illegal gold mining while others are in the oil sector.

Some citizens from the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) have, however, read xenophobia in the plans.

Despite this, the Ghanaian authorities seem resolute, and have set a June 30 date to flush out the illegal immigrants engaged in the retail business.

This, they say, is line with the country’s investment regulations. The rules restrict retail businesses to Ghanaians only.

A task force to implement the directive has already been put in place by the Ministry of Trade and those to be worst hit are Nigerians and Chinese who have set up shops in Accra city centre.

On May 16, officials of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) arrested two Chinese for engaging in commercial activities.

After the arrest, the officials said: “It was in line with the Ministry of Trade and Industry’s national policy to get rid of foreigners in the country’s retail business.”

The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre Law, Act 478, Clause 18, stipulates that “the sale of anything whatsoever in the market, petty trading, hawking or selling from a kiosk at any place is a wholly reserved activity for Ghanaians”.

A number of Chinese have also been busted over the past few weeks for engaging in illegal mining in some parts of the country.

Last month, the police had to step in to avoid a blood-bath when youth groups in the northern region went on the rampage to flush out Chinese they claimed were destroying the environment with their illegal mining activities.

Addressing immigration staff in Accra, Interior minister William Aboah ordered the director-general to conduct investigations into how some immigrants entered the country illegally, while others were able to be issued with work permits though they did not have any arrival stamps in their passports.

“There is a growing perception and reports that the country is being flooded by illegal immigrants,” said Aboah, adding: “The issue of their entry into the country is being questioned. Some managed to acquire work permits through the back door while others continue to stay in the country illegally.”

He said some of the illegal immigrants who were arrested were found with weapons. Investigations showed that most of them did not have the required work and residence permits while others had fake permits in their passports, he added.

“These are serious issues which undermine the security of the country,” said Aboah.

As the authorities try to tighten the laws on immigration, some of the Ecowas citizens engaged in retail trade have complained about unfair treatment.

“The Ecowas protocol is clear on citizens from the community and their rights of abode in member countries and, therefore, what the Ghanaians are doing border on xenophobia,” said Lucky Eze, a Nigerian trader.
