One of the two Nigerians claimed that they were only showing solidarity with Ghanaians who they consider brothers and sisters. He said they also found it imperative to join because the two countries have similar problems.

Two Nigerian citizens have been arrested by the Accra police for joining a protest against the government on Thursday.

According to the police, foreigners have no right to join in a protest of that nature. The demonstrators were protesting corruption and a high cost of living.

"It was not for other nationals to join," Joseph Obenefo Darkwa of the police CID told the press, but one of the two Nigerians also responded that they were only showing solidarity with Ghanaians, who they consider brothers and sisters. He said they also found it imperative to join because the two countries have similar problems.

"We are comrades from Nigeria. We are protesting fuel prices hikes. We have undergone similar things in Nigeria around January. We believe in a united Africa. Nigerians and Ghanians, we are brothers. Whatever affects Ghanians affects Nigerians. So we are here in solidarity with Ghana."



The police however did not take this for an explanation, calling their behavior “offensive” and an affront to national sovereignty, holding the two in custody.

The two held the Nigerian flag side-by-side with the Ghanaian one, singing their own songs.

Earlier, a security expert at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Centre, Dr. Kwasi Aning, had predicted the possibility of the demonstration being infiltrated by troublemakers, but it is not yet clear if the two represent any such constituency.

Police say they have begun profiling the two gentlemen and are investigating the matter further.

Stop it ebola is no joke, it is still killing people. As it stands Ghana hasn't recorded any death due to ebola but Nigeria has. So stop with the nonsense.

The police is wrong for arresting them no matter what flag they were displaying. They need to release them ASAP. Ghana is a free country. As long as it was a peaceful protest they have the right to protest.

No the police should send them to jail for embarrassing Nigeria, displaying Nigeria's flag with useless poor country like ghana is treason

why is your country always trying to gain relevance by arresting my people? What does that foolish policeman know about sovereignty. Shey if na american flag them hold those stupeed policemen for fit arrest them?or rather your news agency will take it up and say americans showing solidarity with their ghanian brothers, when nigeria have benefited ghana more than that country. But still yet all you have in return is unending hate and malignant jealousy for the finger that you once sucked from. That police seem to know so much about sovereignty but he seem to know little about the diplomatic implications of his actions, even mahama your president would consider his actions as a wrong move. But no, i do not expect a police man that is busy trying to protect his nations sovereignty by abusing peaceful foreign protesters to understand. I believe even if those guys were just walking on their own flying the nigerian flag, they still would have been arrested, cus this people we call our brothers have nothing but an insain hate and phobia for the green african Giant

Let them come home and protest taking drugs for another man's disease.

for all I care the guy is a LIBERIAN! So we haven't really recorded any death.

I watched a news show fom Ghana this moning.

They mentioned this story.

The interviewer was speaking on the phone to one of the Ghanaian officials who ordered the arrest.

She kept asking what they had actually done, that was illegal, what law did they break by joining the protest.

The man kept avoiding answering. He just kept saying that the demo was for Ghanaians only and they are investigating the guys, to see if they have committed a crime to charge them for.

This is why I, as someone with Naija roots can never live in Ghana, or raise a family there.

Their crime is that they are Nigerian.....Nothing more, full stop.


That should be a lesson to all Nigerians,in Ghana.

It can never be your home, because they will not accept you, no matter how they smile with you, or how long you have lived in Ghana.

^ which Nigerian in his right senses will even go to Gayna to Live?? C'mon, e never bad for us reach dat level na

Ghana should deal with those two ediots.

himkers: ^ which Nigerian in his right senses will even go to Gayna to Live?? C'mon, e never bad for us reach dat level na

I will visit there again. I am from London and at one point had to make a decision whether or not to live in Ghana, which came about for reasons I have mentioned here before.

After the xenophobia that was so obvious there, I knew I can never live there and feel at home or bring up my family there.

The anti-Nigerian sentiment is so strong and Nigerian ONLY means negative things to them. All they see of you is Nigeria (even though I'm British born and raised). I find the mentality in that sense very backward.

I heard they even imposed heavy taxes on Nigerians operating and doing business in that corner (ghana). They re probably scared of Nigeria; reasons I don't know.

can you imagine. what is the business of shitnigerians with what was supposed to be a wholly Ghanaian event? or did Ghanaians participate in any of your numeours protests in your country? what kind of nonsense notice-me attitude is that? are nigerians the only foreigners living in Ghana? and they even had the audacity to wave their nonsense flag? hahahaha I am going to the police stations where these eediots are being held to give them some 100 lashes of koboko power. after serving their 10-year term, they will think twice and know they are not in their dustbin country where animal life is even more valuable

trust the Ghanaian police, those alata ediots go hier am well well make I go join flog these modafakas sef chei bush meat don land fella don talk am abi, wahala dey sleep, MUMU don go wake am oooh

OXYGEN01: Not true.So how many times do u hear such news.Some things are natural but when it happens don't be in a rush to conclude.Do you know the number of nigerians in Ghana?.They live freely ok.

This is what I've experienced personally both on visits to Ghana and from Ghanaian "friends" in the UK/US.

Nigerians in Ghana don't live as freely as you think. The snide comments and negative assumptions on your person, just because you have Nigerian blood, is something they can attest to also. They are willing to put up with it, maybe because they went to Ghana for work or with their family.

There are Nigerians in many countries, it doesn't mean it is "rosey" living there, or that they are really welcome.

Edygrin: A country you call dumb, mumu and so on. Yet you can never outdo that country in any field. What does that make your country? Super mumu abi super dumb

so.mumugeria can outdo Great Ghana in any field??...Uve eaten too much eba today ryt.Relax ok becos u ain't making sense.

hahahahahaha your MUMU stinks to high heavens, mor0n! Ghanaians scared of shitnigerians? shitnigerians have "super high business skills" and yet your country is now a dustbin country and sinking faster than titanic?
