It was Shagari in 83 and Buhari in 85... It happened twice...

The Ghanaians whose relatives were killed like dogs by Nigerian criminals should have met him with protests...

The Ghana Nigeria beef is dead. Many are simply too old to get into it anymore!

When Nigeria deported 3 million Ghanaians in the 1980's due to jealousy and greed where was the outrage?? Not only did Nigeria deport those Ghanaians but also killed those who would not leave quickly enough in addition to stealing. Lastly, in the 1985 episode, Ghanaians were not allowed to leave Nigeria with more than 20 dollars. Meaning if you had worked for 20 years and earned 30 thousand dollars the Nigerian government stole all of it and only allowed you to leave with 20 dollars of it...

How can you with any moral dignity complain about being deported??

Finally that criminal act is still celebrated in Nigeria as a good thing!! You do it anytime you joke about the Ghana-must-go bag! If it was your brother, father, uncle or sister who was killed and robbed I am sure you would not find that funny!!!

Those of you supporting this will one day find yourself facing a bullet coming toward your head and then it will be too late to know the error of your ways... Far too many Nigerians have paid the price in Indonesia just look online...

The Four men!

Before Indonesian president Joko Widodo honchos put 10 bullets in these peoples heads they were heard singing[b] Amazing Grace[/b] hopefully their "life" will be spared for eternity... but Joko Widodo must pay a price for killing them so cheaply and making a mockery of their death...

MKO4ever:
Shut up if you don't have anything to say

You must be an Indonesian killer!!!! Shame on you!!!

The amount of Drugs Martin Anderson was carrying was equivalent to this:

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zjA9CrQKA_M/hqdefault.jpg


That's it... and for that he was killed like a dog by the Indonesian criminals....A mistake he made at 35...probably something he did not think extensively about or know the true consequences of... This was not a big time drug dealer but a guy who made a small mistake and paid the price.. 3 grams, that's it, and after 15 years of reform they put 10 bullets in his head!! Savages!!!


If South Africa did this there would be outrage!! CUT OFF RELATIONS WITH INDONESIA!!! Recall the ambassador and END the 2 billion+ dollars worth of trade!! They clearly don't respect Nigerian life!!! To trade with such criminals would be enriching those who don't respect Nigerians or have compassion!!!

Nigerians are paying too heavy a price under these burtal indonesian laws... 4 out of the 8 executed were Nigerians. Nigeria could easily execute several Indonesians living in Nigeria under trumped up charges. Martin Anderson was carrying only 3 grams of Heroin... That is basically nothing... He committed the crime when he was 35 and was executed at 50 when he had changed his life. What is the point of prison? To reform or to store and eventually kill??


What these Indonesian animals are doing is they are killing the poor, the weak, the tricked, and the helpless while the main drug dealers who are making the big money are getting bigger and richer... Those type will never go to these airports, just the desperate and poor who make a mistake... The main drug dealers who are making Millions consider people like Anderson to be disposable... there will be several of them identified and used for these small jobs and it won't solve any drug problem to kill those who have largely been duped... Many of the people in these prisons are not bad people... they are good people who made a mistake and paid the price for it.


RIP to the four victims and may Indonesia, land of dogs, pay the price for their execution of them!!!

Nigeria is Indonesia's second largest trade partner in Africa after South Africa, in 2011 the trade value reached US$2.09 billion accounted for 21.66 percent of Indonesia's total trade with Africa.[6] In 2013, the bilateral trade volume between the countries hits $2.2 billion. There are over 15 Indonesian companies currently operating in Nigeria such as Indorama, Indofood, Kalbe Farma and Sayap Mas Utama. Indofood for example had established instant noodle factory in Nigeria since 1995 where Indomie has become a popular brand and have the largest instant noodles manufacturing plant in Africa. The two countries also planning a US$2.5 billion gas methanol and fertilizer plant in Nigeria with Pertamina of Indonesia and NNPC of Nigeria in collaboration with Eurochem Indonesia and Viva Methanol of Nigeria

Litmus:
Who is facing execution?

Three Nigerians not four. The other is from Ghana according to BBC



RIP

Brazil and Australia are considering severing ties with Indonesia. Nigeria should do the same. I don't see why Nigeria hasn't pursued a sterner line with that Nation. What's their use to Nigeria that we should be so apologetic and softly threading with them.

False. Martin Anderson is Nigerian who obtained a fake Ghanaian passport...
See here:

and Here:

http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2015/apr/28/bali-nine-andrew-chan-myuran-sukumaran-executed-indonesia-mercy?CMP=share_btn_tw


So you can call him Ghanaian because of his fake passport but he has no relatives in Ghana and has no relation to the country.


What this indicates is that HALF of those executed for drugs were Nigerian....

The Australians put up a fight to save their 2 citizens but Nigeria basically did nothing... It would not have made a difference but the effort should have been made...

Lastly, I wonder why Indonesia is not getting the South Africa treatment... They actually killed 4 Nigerians on trumped up charges and under their corrupt judiciary but I guarantee there will be no request for compensation!!!

vfactor:
Everybody knows the collapse of the building was more of an accident cos Nigerians were involved too. For them to refer to it means the xenophobic attack is more of a repraisal on Nigerians.

The building collapse compared to Xenophobia is perhaps the highest state of stupidity I have read... The building collapse was due to poor development planning and had nothing to do with xenophobia!!!

That being said, the South African animals should stop trying to let this episode of shame go away!!!It will follow them for the next 1000 years!!

If they want to limit immigrants do it the smart way.. With paper work and other reasons... Not through burning and stabbing migrants!!!

Every country has a right to determine its migration policy but; killing of innocent people should not be part of it!!

Nigerians are the leaders of Xenophobia. In 1983 and 1985 Nigeria deported a total of 2 million Ghanaians from Southern Nigeria... If these deportations had not happened the Ghanaian population of Nigeria today would be no less than 5 million meaning 1 out of every 20 people you met in Southern Nigeria would be Ghanaian!!! Today the number is next to zero!!!


As you can see from the article all were kicked out a and had their properties stolen... If one had worked for 10 years and acquired 20,000 dollars they were only allowed to leave with 20 dollars... with the rest being stolen! The New York times recorded this!! This is Xenophobia...

In the 1983 episode there were confirmed DEATHS of innocent people... much more than South Africa has killed of Nigerians in the last 2 Xenophobic episodes... Yet today you continue to celebrate the killings, murder, and death of Ghanaians with your Ghana must go bag...

You have no dignity!! Leave the South African animals alone!!

Published: May 5, 1985

LAGOS, Nigeria, May 4— Thousands of illegal aliens, carrying mattresses, clothing and cooking utensils, poured back across the borders to their homelands today, ordered out by Nigeria's military rulers.

The foreigners had been attracted to Nigeria in part by an oil boom in the 1970's, but now the West African nation has deep economic problems and an increasing crime rate, which it attributes in large measure to the immigrants.

On Friday, the Government opened its borders to speed the expulsion of 700,000 foreigners. It was the first time Nigeria's borders with Benin, Niger, Chad and Cameroon were open since April 1984, when the Government closed them to combat the black market in the country's ailing currency, the naira.

The aliens, who were ordered out last month, were part of the second wave of foreigners to be forced from Nigeria by the Government in three years.

Reporters at the western border with Benin today said Nigerian customs officials were searching the departing foreigners closely and refusing to let tiem carry out more than the 20 naira, or $17.65, allowed by law. They also said bus drivers were doing a brisk business charging twice the normal fare to carry passengers across the border.

The illegal immigrants were among the millions of West Africans, mostly from Ghana, who flooded into Nigeria in hopes of benefiting from the country's oil-based economy.

But world demand for oil has waned and the price has dropped, sending Nigeria into a steep economic decline and swelling its foreign debt.

In January 1983, the civilian Government of President Shehu Shagari ordered out about two million foreigners, blaming them for widespread unemployment and crime. Roads to the border were clogged with people carrying personal belongings.

Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari overthrew Mr. Shagari in December 1983, and last month the Buhari Government announced it was giving the remaining illegal aliens until May 10 to leave.

But until the Government opened the borders on Friday, only small groups were reported to have left on planes and ships.

The state-controlled Lagos radio reported Friday that Interior Minister Mohammed Magoro had met with ambassadors from neighboring countries whose citizens were affected by the expulsion order. The radio quoted ministry officials as saying foreigners would be driven to the borders in ministry vehicles or allowed to buy airline tickets with Nigerian currency. Ordinarily, foreigners must pay in foreign currency.

Ghanaian officials said about 300,000 of the 700,000 foreigners were migrant workers from Ghana. Officials said 100,000 were from Niger and most of the rest from Chad and Cameroon.

In addition to the attraction of Nigeria's oil boom, many of the non-Ghanaians came to Nigeria to escape drought and the threat of famine in their home countries. ---- BENIN BLOCKS HUNDREDS COTONOU, Benin, May 4 (Reuters) - Several hundred illegal aliens, expelled from Nigeria and barred from entering Benin, camped Friday night in a no-man's land between the two countries, witnesses said today.

Benin border officials, who turned non-Benin nationals away, said that Nigeria's opening of the border had surprised them and that they had received ''no clear instructions'' on how to deal with the influx of aliens.

Benin officials said they were justified in rejecting non-Benin nationals since many of the aliens might try to stay in Benin because they had no money to continue their journey.

No vehicles were officially reported to have crossed the frontier Friday, but witnesses reported that many minibuses and private cars with Nigerian license plates had entered Benin along isolated bush tracks.

Foreigners who went through the bush will now have to obtain permits to travel through Benin, a tightly controlled Marxist nation, if they are to reach their final destination.

This is Xenophobia:

will Ghana and Nigeria go back to the "Alien Compliance" and "Ghana must go" era with Buhari back


I must say these two worked well together!!

were there any protests when Nigeria did "Ghana must Go" and told Ghanaians that they could not leave the country with more than 20 Naira(18 dollars at the time)?

If a Ghanaian had worked for 10 years and made 20,000 dollars the most he could leave with was 18 dollars! A Nigerian xenophobic policy!!! Nigerians are the biggest Xenophobes in Africa!!

Being born a Ghanaian!!

cap28:
"Immigrants have nothing to do with the success of the UK" - so slavery contributed nothing to the UK's wealth, how about the wealth that was stolen from Nigeria during colonialism and the wealth that is still being stolen by way of extortionate foreign loans with inflated interest rates, the exploitation of our crude oil, brain drain, unfair trade agreements, aiding and abetting of corrupt regimes, the list goes on and on and on.........

That is criminality not immigrants.

JiggamanGh:
That's a dumb question because how many countries in Africa are successful, so with or without immigrant involvement most of african countries are still poor.

On the other hand I just provided countries that are doing extremely well with large amount of immigrants. Usa, uk, Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Netherlands, Norway, Dubai in fact in Dubai immigrants outnumber the citizens.

Maybe due to poverty there should be no immigrant involvement... Immigrants have nothing to do with the success of the UK, Germany, South Korea, Netherland, Norway etc etc I am not promoting Xenophobia but asking you to use proper facts.

JiggamanGh:
Bullshit, America is the way it is because of immigrant, look at all the top countries around the world they all have large amount of immigrants. Why are they not attacking whites, Indians and Chinese that are in the country.

I asked you for an African example.

JiggamanGh:
I agree that nigerians need to stop calling that bag Ghana must go and I have argued about it with many nigerians, but that's not the topic at hand.

Ghana must go happened long ago so let's leave it in the past. What's going on South Africa is just wrong and many South Africans are saying the same thing. The world is now a global village so it baffles me as to why they expect no foreigners in the country.

If you live in the richest country in Africa and are living on 28 dollars a month you may become xenophobic... The real solution is everybody developing their own country. Migration within Africa has never helped any country and has historically only caused problems. Can you give me a case of successful migration within Africa?? Africans are generally xenophobic so it is best for one to develop their own country and avoid being killed by criminals lacking empathy.

JiggamanGh:
Leave Ghana must go alone and stay in the present. Yes Ghana must go was horrible but this a new day the world has evolved and that's what makes what some South Africans are doing horrible.

When people alive today continue to say things like Ghana must Go, it should not be left alone... People died and it is disrespectful to make fun of them by even saying it... So as long as it continues to be a joke then it should be remembered over and over. RIP to the victims of Ghana Must Go and may their killers face justice either here on earth or in eternity!!!

Never forget Ghana must go. which was worse than South Africa. Why do you continue to laugh at that? Change your ways and leave the poor people in South Africa alone!

In Ghana must go some Nigerians stole Ghanaians food and watched them starve to death.

Thank you so much for the NYtimes story... Nigerians are very xenophobic and even today continue to celebarte the death of Ghanaians... If South Africans are animals Nigeirans are very big animals. Now go grab your Ghana must go bag while calling South Africans Xenophobes you hypocrites!! Killers and criminals!!

These are the lowest kid of animals you can find in the world.

This 3 year old boy born of Nigerian parents has his head smashed with a big stick and was left for dead after his parents were killed but he miraculously survived

[size=55pt]Okay, now I am angry!!! [/size]

m1500:
Please how can they go to the extent of killing their neighbours for no reason at all; there is no justification for these killings!! Are these people humans There is a govt in SA who they are supposed to channel their frustrations to.

I agree but they lack education.

[size=30pt]Xenophobia- intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries.

Many of these poor people are living on 28 dollars a month. They see foreigners succeeding in their country with capital they brought from outside and get jealous. This is not a government policy but a poverty and lack of education issue.
