WilyWily: @Citizen Y. Now i noticed you support Evil, You are supporting Yorubas for carrying out this inhumane treatment against our fellow African Brothers Ghanaians. Even Ghanaians that didn't want to go back because their Children knew no other place than Lagos which they called home, Yorubas draged them out on the street and beat them up, Ghanian women and their Children were Crying but these people didn't show no mercy. All were documented. P/z Citizen Y, Don't support Evil so that it will not come to you. Tell me if there behaviours against our African Brothers are right. Check this out, In Nigeria today Hausa/Fulanis has shown to everyone openly that they are Savages for life, but what people don't know is, in the western Nigeria exist the most secret Dangerours poisonous Savages of all black race.

Bennyboy11: That is very far from the truth. I think Ghana takes its Ecowas commitments very seriously contrary to popular belief. One poster talked about Ghana not contributing anything and looking to be isolated which is completely false. Ghana and Nigeria are particularly important members and have worked together on several issues not least peace keeping which is debatably the most pressing issue within the region certainly in recent times. I think there might actually be the need for intervention in Guinea soon if things don’t calm down again Ghana and Nigeria will stand shoulder to shoulder as in Liberia, Sierra Leone and elsewhere.
The truth of the matter is bodies like Ecowas, United Nations in recent times, and the commonwealth and so on should be seen for what they are. They are bodies that signify solidarity and our common interests, a tool for dealing with crises when they arise like they do in our part of the world. Actually I think our biggest achievements collectively as West Africans have happened through Ecowas, but Ecowas will never have the power to dictate on important political or economic issues.
ECOWAS is not a cumbaya organisation however I believe it shouldhave the power to influence mutual economic goals witin a region.
