Ghana has a programme of 'Return Home' targeted at Afro-Americans and Caribbeans, and other descendants of enslaved Africans.

They have actively pursued this policy, and even their president has been to the US and spoken at seminars welcoming Afro-Americans back 'home' to Ghana. They offer them land and other support when they come to settle.

So it's no surprise the AAs gravitate to Ghana when considering returning home to Africa.

Nigeria, like the article said, has a more standoffish policy of ''welcome home if you want to come, but if you don't, no wahala. We won't go out of our way to attract you''.

IhateYouMan:
Because Nigeria is a shit hole.

Rossikk:
Ignorant comment.

Living standards in Nigeria and Ghana are similar. Business opportunities in NIgeria are far more extensive, abundant, and lucrative, than in Ghana, which explains why business-minded Afro-Americans choose Nigeria over Ghana, as the article stated.

Ghana is showing progress in mankind. Even most Nigerians abroad do not want to come back to the shithole called Nigeria. It is one of the reasons I support disintegration of Nigeria. Required course of action must take place!!!

IhateYouMan:
Ghana does not have Boko Haram, ISWAP, IPOB, herdsmen, kidnappers, bandits etc etc etc

SlyDev:
The few that are coming in are even staying in Yoruba land, why?

Why don't you go and form your own Bi.afra forum somewhere and quit disturbing us with your misery?

Nobody cares what inconsequential riffraff like you think about Nigeria.

Idiko1:
Lagos!!!!!

The USA has millions of gangsters, rapists, drive-by shooters, serial killers, neo-nazi racists, killer cops, and other social degenerates, plus a [b]murder rate of 50,000 plus a year, [/b]

Kaduna crime stats:

Est. 8.9 million population according to Wikipedia.

1192 homicides ~ 13.39 homicides per 100k
The number Homicides increased by 245 which is a 20.55% increase.
3,348 kidnappings ~ 37.62 kidnappings per 100k
891 assaults (injuries) ~ 10.01 assaults per 100k

Name one such business
Self hype.

It's a country where you can walk into a shop and legally buy a gun plus bullets with no questions asked.

That hasn't stopped anyone flocking there, or you from kissing their butts.

Dsalvo:
Too, too many dear lady.....and they are delivering business models and successes Ghana's socio-economic reality and limitations cannot facilitate. Nothing like "self hype".

Lets tone down the self-hate and educate ourselves. Your fortune could be here in Naija but you'll miss it because you're too hateful of your own country to see it.

They are no different to diasporans - especially those who were born in the West and grew up there. If you want to be specific and pedantic , there are AA's moving to Nigeria also.

The traffic may be higher to Ghana but that is due, in my opinions and personal experience, to how the Nation resounds well, sentimentally and ideologically, with AA's as a "motherland" destination.

Pragmatically, in terms of opportunities, business start-up potentials, returns on investment and overall lifestyle choices on offer, Nigeria is superior and more complete in comparison to anything Ghana can offer.

GodHatesBigots:
Nigeria has a serious problem with terrorism and crime.

There’s no way to know how many African-Americans are in which countries abroad, because the US Government does not track that information.

Emigration from the United States is the process where individuals from the United States move to live in other countries, creating an American diaspora (overseas Americans). The process is the reverse of the immigration to the United States. The United States does not keep track of emigration, and counts of Americans abroad are thus only available based on statistics kept by the destination countries.
Host countries might track it, but I doubt that they are tracking the racial numbers.

Ghana is most loud about its African-American population there, but I’ve seen estimates that range from 3,000 to 10,000 — a huge gulf.

I’ve also seen a report put out by the Congressional Black Caucus that says that most African-American businesses in Africa are actually located in Nigeria. However, a few issues with that, namely: Does that number count Nigerian-Americans as African-Americans? Perhaps, perhaps not. I don’t know. But either way, it would seem to mean that there are more African-Americans in Nigeria than is assumed.

The reality is: no one knows how many African-Americans are in which African countries. The host countries themselves would have to better track that data.

I think Ghana is more apt to promote its African-American population, which lends credence to the idea that African-Americans prefer Ghana to other countries. It might be true, but I have no way of confirming. Nigeria seems to be rather blasé about it — the attitude seems to be “African-Americans can come if they want, or they could not. It’s all good.”

African-American Youtubers seem to be more focused on Ghana and Gambia as well, which probably adds to it.
