I think it is unfortunate that Nigerians very much hate their country like this with all the comments i have read here. If any, only few people are asking questions on why the Ghanians were deported. Are we all saying that all Ghanians are angels and incapable of committing crimes? By simply being neighbours, will you allow the man next door turn your room into a gutter? People should be constructive in their crititicm. Those who deported them won't ever do it for the fun of it knowing what the consequences of doing so will be on our international relation with them. Who told Nigerians that Nigerians are not been sent packing also from Ghana if you over stay your welcome or you're in the country illegally? Just take a look at the comments Nigerians have made here and compare them with the ones credited to them brought on this forum by a nairalander. Just look at the hatred they have for us even when 90% of Nigerian are condemning the deportation. While both countries belong to ECOWAS, that is not a license for nationals of either country to commit crimes and be left alone. It is a pity that most Nigerians have lost their self-worth because of what they'll eat. Its a shame!

@AK47Man, let me start with yours, first of all its not true GLO billboards were once destroyed, I used to live in NIG but i now live in Ghana cos i have dual citizenship (Nig & Gh and i have 2 passports), GLO, Mr Biggs, Chicken Republic, Zenith, GTBank, Intercontinental, Access Bank, Ovation House, and many other thousands of Nigerian companies are here and they are doing well, with no one pulling down their billboards, u said "i THINK there was a time when GLO, " please your source of info is untrue and if otherwise present link or editorial proof. Generally, Ghana is peaceful and very organized.

@lauretta12, You  are 65% correct, many Ghanaians are xenophobic, which is a very bad attitude; especially those of them who have never traveled, if they travel and understand what it means to be an alien in another country, they'll grow to change their attitude, and do u know they show such hatred even to other nationals like lebanese too? However, let me tell u a truth here Lauretta, in many cases, our own Nigerians disgrace our image in Ghana, about 26 who lived in the same neighborhood with me were arrested of minting Fake Ghana cedi a few years ago during the redenomination of cedi, besides, all of them who live close by ALWAYS dont live a calm, composed life, they open their stereos excessively loud and throw parties blocking minor roads without due authorization and legal backings, and i always call them and talk to them, look, many Nigerians deceive their parents that they r coming to school in Ghana, when they get here, they dont even school, some have stopped schooling and living big here with their school fees and the Ghanaians know and see it, (and Ghanaians naturally dont dare big things, either good or bad, they seem to be frightful and easily tamed). So basically, i tell u lauretta, their venom, suspicion and distrust for Nigerians is more than any other national becos our people too are too conspicuous and loud in most of the atrocities and illegal living here, Ghanaians too arent never saints, but Niger folks here makes theirs most times a red alert news cos of their modus operandi in doing the wrong.
Ghanaian Universities are for example, naturally not enlightened about occultism, unlike the way we have, Bucca, eye, Vikings, ,  blackbra, pink lady in our 9ja tertiaries, (which by God's grace is reducing now) etc, so i expect that, if a nigerian travel to a country like ghana, they shld live a comported life, especially since they know they are resented already, but they've been trying to establish it here and it keep failing cos the system here is not rightly enabled to make such occultism survive well althouggh there are faint traces.
I know of a few who are re-writing the story now by becoming good role models and representatives of ideal Nigeria here in Ghana.

@Proudigbo, yes, you sound unbiased. i like that. The Ghanaians may not be of good a character towards us, but we also dont have to give them more reasons to resent us. And believe me, there are very good Ghanaians, i'm a dual citizen and i'v lived both countries for over a decade each, i speak 3 languages very fluently from both sides, i believe i can tell a fair story on both ends.

Misplaced priority on the part of the government officials. I am typing this mail from an office in Accra, Ghana. I am a Nigerian and lives there but get to move around because of the nature of my work. This country, Ghana, is my adopted second country in the world. Having been to and work in many othercountries of the world that cut across all continents. Ghana is far better and more accommodating that some other countries of the world. I always feel at home whenever am in this country. So why should my own country not make Ghanaian feel the same way whenever they are in Nigeria.
We share common cultural heritage; the Ga from Greater Accra( have their origin from Ile-ife), the Ashatis (are believed to be related to the Ibos). We even inter-marry ourselves i.e Ghanaians and the Nigerians. So why are we deporting them?

For all you care to know, many Nigerian companies are here with a lot Nigerians working here both legally and otherwise. We should not use this to cause rift between 2 sister countries.  Among the Nigerian companies are GTB, UBA, Zenith, Intercontinental, Access Banks, AMAL Bank(90% owned by Oceanic bank of Nigeria). Even until recently, the MDs of Coca Cola Ghana, Guinness Ghana and Total Ghana were all Nigerians. Globacom, Oando and Sahara Energy are all operating here in Ghana. IEI Insurance company is also here. Many of us Nigerian come here regularly to stay.
Nigerian Airlines too come here, the likes of Aero, Air Nigeria, Arik and co. So we have come a long way as sister countires and so acts of deportation should not spoil the good relationships we have and we are still going to have in the future.

Also, according to the constitution and demography of Ghana, they recognised 1% of the Ghanaian population to be Yorubas who actuallyoriginated from Western part of Nigeria. So we are brothers and sisters and issue of deporting the law-abidding Ghanaians in Nigeria should not come up.

I know of Nigerians who own properties here and many of Nigerians students are schooling here.

Only the bad eggs who are found wanting should be sent packing, the peace loving ones should not be deported. The govt should fish out the black sheep from other countries and leave the peace loving ones alone.
