helinues:


They are deporting just 69 out of millions

You can all see that since in 1930s Ghana has been expelling Nigerians from Ghana. Even before the Ghana must go saga we were expelled in 1969. History repeating itself. I pity those who don't learn from history!

November 18, 1969: Kofi Busia's government announces the Aliens Compliance Order


As far back as the early twentieth century, Nigerians had been well-established in Ghana and had contributed immensely to the socio-economic development of Ghana before and after independence.

According to Cardinall, Nigerians constituted the largest single group of immigrants resident in Ghana as at 1931. Adepoju argues that Ghana’s relative affluence at that time had made her the “gold coast” for thousands of immigrants from West Africa, particularly Nigeria, Togo and Burkina Faso.2 The successful exploits of Nigerian migrants as traders, cocoa farmers, farm labourers and farm contractors, factory workers as well as menial workers in construction sites ensured a further influx of more Nigerians into Ghana between 1931 and 1960. Hence, the population of Nigerians in Ghana increased geometrically from 57,400 in 1931 to 191,802 in 1963.

It is not surprising therefore that beginning from the mid-1960’s, the overwhelming migrant stock of Ghana’s population became a matter of concern for the indigenous Ghanaian population who subsequently mounted enormous pressures on government for increased participation of native peoples in the economic life of their country .
The net result of this indigenization clamours by Ghanaians came to the fore towards the end of 1969 when the migrants became first-count scapegoats for the economic misfortune of large-scale unemployment that had befallen Ghana. These aliens, mostly Nigerians, were quickly accused of posing a threat to the economic survival of the country.

BIn order to deal with the problem of Ghana’s economic malaise, attributed largely to the presence and dominance of the migrant stock in Ghana’s economy, government decided to introduce a number of intervention policies aimed essentially at controlling the number of immigrant population and restricting the exercise of certain activities by non-nationals. One of such policies was the “Aliens Compliance Order” of 18 November, 1969. Though the Order affected some migrants from other West African Countries such as Togo, Burkina Faso, and Ivory-Coast, a majority of the victims were Yoruba’s from South-Western Nigeria numbering about 140,000, out of an estimated 191,000 Nigerian immigrant stock in Ghana then.
Ghanaians hailed the expulsion order which they regarded as “a patriotic move to garner jobs for Ghanaians and rid the country of crimes. It should be observed however that agitation for deportation of “aliens” or “strangers”, as the foreign migrants were referred to by Ghanaian natives, started around the mid-20th century.

In 1932, during the cocoa hold-up crisis, the Nigerian cocoa farmers in Akyem Abuakwa opposed the local cocoa hold-up led by the king of the town against the European firms10. This instigated a far-reaching resolution of the town at a meeting of Okyeman in 1935. Then, the traditional council urged the colonial government to ensure that “troublemakers” (referring to the migrants) were kept out of Akyem Abuakwa. The resolution reads as follows: Okyeman consider that it is now time that people from Nigeria and other places should be made amenable to the customary laws of the various states in which they reside and that any act of insubordination on the part of any such strangers should, with the sanction of Government, be punished by deportation. As a follow-up to the above resolution, local business people in the town formed the National Crusade for the Protection of Ghanaian Enterprise which opposed the foreign entrepreneurs.

Apart from these economically-instigated agitations for the expulsion of aliens from Ghana, championed by the citizens, there were also cases of officially-inspired deportation of individual Nigerians from Ghana between 1957 and 1961 for political reason. Under the leadership of Kwame Nkrumah, pressures for the expulsion of aliens from the country were initially repulsed by the Ghanaian government, until on the 23 August, 1957 when the Convention Peoples’ Party (CPP) government passed the Deportation Act which made it legal for the government to expel all foreigners who were deemed “a threat to the nation”13.

The axe of the Deportation Act fell on some wealthy Nigerians like Alufa Osman Lardan and Ahmadu Baba who were members of the opposition Muslim Association Party. The Ghanaian government deported them to Kano on 23 August, 1957. Other Nigerians expelled under the Act up to 1961 included Messrs. Samuel Faleye, Buliaminu Oni and Alhaji Raji Bakare. This period did mark the onset of expulsion of Nigerians from Ghana. But while these expulsions were targeted at particular individuals, the 1969 expulsion of aliens from Ghana marked the beginning of mass expulsion from the country. The expulsion order affected close to 200,000 aliens from Togo, Mali, Burkina-Faso and Nigeria.

It's not same bro. Is 10milliin naira not 11000 dollars? Now Nigerians are asked to bring 1million dollar in Ghana! That's a whole 450milliin naira!

BuddhaPalm:
We actually have very similar laws.

A foreigner wishing to register a business in Nigeria needs to have a minimum share capital of N10,000,000.

A Nigerian citizen, on the other hand, needs a minimum share capital of N10,000.

The USA banning salons to foreigners...even a legal foreign resident? U r a Liar!

tribalmall:
You Nigerians love deceiving yourself when the truth stare you in the face kokoroko like this. What law did you enforce in your "Ghana must go" adventure ? Every countries even the USA as big as it as law barring non indigene from running biz such as salon canteen small stores etc, Most just chose not to enforce it till threatened to.

My brother Nigerian with a spare 1milliin $ to invest won't go to Ghana...but invest here in naija!




[quote author=Sakamaje post=92832920]I can't help but agree with the Op. I think Nigerians can generally have a high tendency to be very lawless in other countries if allowed. Maybe Ghanaians themselves encouraged the flouting of their own laws initially when they deemed it harmless. But apparently they are now feeling threatened that if something is not done

Settle? Give him money after serving him for all these years.
Kill him? How?

gypsey:
yea? so he should stay and keep putting up with all that harrassment till they kill him?

what does settle mean anyway?

I understand u. But on the flip side if the man had said they should stay in his family house n build their own house so as to save on rent.... I for gree. But he wants to be attached to his mum...which is a no-no. Even If he builds the mum go still move in!

REDBUNNY:
But why on earth would a man get married and move his wife into his family house, his father's house.
Any man who does that is not ready to be married.
I can't even imagine living with my parents right now talk more of getting married and living in his own family house with his family.
No way.

He is not serious. Ur sister is a visionary. She can see what will happen in that hse later on. That man will not build any house.

OluwaLina1:
he said he can't do without his mum

This is a lie na. Nothing like dis. It's like Kofi state organising big brother. I don't think it's even on the!

Championxxx:
They were doing all this to frustrate me I think she brought them to the house with a mission to frustrate me so I can leave , the funny part is they don’t come to clean only to watch tv and making all kind of noises to disturb my sleep and if I am awake they will go back to their room to sleep till noon. These girls has never help around the house when I am around , I do everything mopping , sweeping , washing dishes when they around pressing phone my brother doesn’t say anything to them. I asked him if he is right for me to do all these chores when we have his wife sisters at home , he said before he married I was the one doing it and why am now I complaining , I told because it doesn’t sound right for me to be doing chores when the girls are busy pressing phone, anyway there is more but not everything is good to say on social media. If he refuse renting a place for me I think I will go back to the village because I am short tempered I don’t want to stay in the same house with that mannerless small girl because I don’t want to do something stupid that will land me to prison for life . I prefer to be in the village than staying somewhere where I am not comfortable

At least we were not as primitive as they make us!



Here are some of the things we use almost daily that were either discovered or began in Africa before spreading to the rest of the world.

The brilliance of Africa is what is usually heralded whilst its innovations are kept under wraps. Africa is usually shown as a follower of world trends whereas it is responsible and led the way in a lot of ways. The African continent is responsible for being trailblazers in a lot of things that we do not acknowledge as often as we should.

1. Coffee
It is served as short and strong by the Italians, Americans serve it filtered but most people’s favorite stimulant was discovered by Kaldi an Ethiopian goat herder in the 9th Century. He noticed how his goats got excited after the nibbling on the coffee berries. He brought the berries to an Islamic monk in a nearby monastery. Today coffee is one of the world’s top stimulants that most people drink daily and it was first discovered in Africa.
2. Art


Madagascar Art

The oldest known artwork in the world was discovered in the Bombos Cave in South Africa. It consisted of two pieces of engraved ochre depicting abstract designs and symbols. The world also ignores the influence African art had on globally renowned European artists like Picasso, Matisse, or Kirchner. The early 1900’s African sculpture’s aesthetics became what was described by the Met Museum in New York as, “a powerful influence among European artists who formed an avant-garde in the development of modern art.”
3. Mathematics


Algebra

The history of maths can be traced to the Egyptians who created the earliest numeric system on record, and they were also the first civilization to solve arithmetic equations. Further evidence of early arithmetic was found in Swaziland ( Lebombo bone ) and the border of Uganda and Zaire ( the Ishango bone ) both baboon fibulas are the world’s two oldest mathematical objects – the former at least 35,000 years old. The Ishango bone is suspected to be the oldest table of prime numbers.
4. The Calendar


Egyptian calender

Ancient Egyptians are credited with inventing the earliest calendar system over 5,000 years ago. The calendar system is the one that broke down a year to 365 days. It was heavily reliant on the solar system and flooding of the Nile. It was used to mark lunar events and important festivals. African societies also had an immense knowledge of astronomy which assisted in presenting the movement of the earth, sun, moon, and stars into an organized system. The knowledge of the earth’s movement assisted in the formulation of the calendar. The basis of the modern-day calendar can be traced back to the Egyptian efforts over 5,000 years ago.
5. Architecture
One of the most complex architectural structures ever built is found on the African continent. The west was in awe of the Egyptian pyramids and could not understand how they were built in a time where there were no machines. To undermine the work of Africans they put forth a notion that pyramids were built by Aliens. One of the oldest buildings in the world the Pyramid of Djoser constructed between 2667-2648BC is arguably the earliest highly complex architectural structure in the world.

6. Heart Transplant
Impressive medical feats have been seen in the world, but it is important to identify where some of them were first successful. The first successful human heart transplant was performed at Groote Schuur Hospital in South Africa in 1967 by Christiaan Barnard. An estimated 3,500 heart transplants are performed annually worldwide, all following the footsteps of the first one performed in Africa.

7. Language
After analyzing over 500 languages Dr. Quentin Atkinson found compelling evidence that every language from English to Mandarin evolved from a prehistoric mother tongue first spoken in Africa tens of thousands ago. The findings do not just pinpoint the origin of language to Africa, they also show that speech evolved at least 100,000 years ago, far earlier than previously thought.

8. Medical School
It is common cause that all civilizations discovered how to use some form of medicine the Egyptians are known to be the earliest civilization to have recorded medical reports and a concrete medical training system. This led to Egyptians executing the earliest known medical surgeries.

9. Metallurgy
Although the later part of industrialization seemed to be slow on the African continent. Africans began iron smelting before the rest of the world. Archaeological evidence suggests that inhabitants of modern-day Tanzania were able to make carbon steel by at least 500 CE, if not earlier. The secret was in the advanced furnaces created by Africa people of the region which burned hotter whilst using less fuel.

10. Shea Butter
Most people have used soap, lip balm, skin lotion, or even shaving cream that contains shea butter. Shea butter grows in 19 countries across the continent from Senegal in the west to Sudan in the east. Skincare brand L’Occitane calls it “nature’s miracle beauty balm; the perfect quick fix for almost anything.” Shea butter has been in production in Africa in the village of Saouga as early as the 14th century.

These guys were something else man! If you are this fraudulent why even be on Instagram?





Olalekan Jacob Ponle, known as "mrwoodbery" to his Instagram followers, flaunted his wealth
The day after his 29th birthday in May, Olalekan Jacob Ponle posted a picture on his Instagram standing next to a bright yellow Lamborghini in Dubai.

"Stop letting people make you feel guilty for the wealth you've acquired," he admonished, wearing designer jewellery and Gucci clothes from head to toe.

A month later, the Nigerian, who goes by the name "mrwoodbery" on Instagram, was arrested by Dubai Police for alleged money laundering and cyber fraud.

The most famous of the dozen Africans nabbed in the dramatic operation was 37-year-old Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, "hushpuppi" or just "hush" as he was known by his 2.4 million Instagram followers.

Police in the emirate say they recovered $40m (£32m) in cash, 13 luxury cars worth $6.8m, 21 computers, 47 smartphones and the addresses of nearly two million alleged victims.


End of Instagram post by hushpuppi
Mr Abbas and Mr Ponle were both extradited to the US and charged in a Chicago court with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and laundering hundreds of millions of dollars obtained from cybercrimes.

The two have not yet been asked to plead and are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

"I think there's probably a certain arrogance when they believe they've been careful about maintaining anonymity in their online identities, but they live high on the hog and get careless on social media," said Glen Donath, a former senior prosecutor in the US Attorney's Office in Washington, DC.

It is a spectacular crash for the two Nigerian men who extensively documented their tacky, high-flying lifestyle on social media, raising questions about the sources of their wealth.

They unwittingly provided crucial information about their identities and activities for American detectives with their Instagram and Snapchat posts.

They are accused of impersonating legitimate employees of various US companies in "business email compromise" (BEC) schemes and tricking the recipients into wiring millions of dollars into their own accounts.

On Instagram, hushpuppi said he was a real estate developer and had a category of videos called "Flexing" - social media lingo for showing off. But the "houses" were actually a codeword for bank accounts "used to receive proceeds of a fraudulent scheme", investigators allege.

"Our value system in Nigeria needs to be checked, especially the emphasis we place on wealth, no matter how you got it," the economist Ebuka Emebinah told the BBC from New York.

"It's a culture where people believe that results speak for you. We don't place as much emphasis on the process and this has built up over time."

English Premier League team targeted
In April, hushpuppi renewed his lease for another year at the exclusive Palazzo Versace apartments in Dubai under his real name and phone number.

"Thank you, Lord, for the many blessings in my life. Continue to shame those waiting for me to be shamed," he captioned an Instagram picture of a Rolls-Royce just a fortnight before he was arrested.

"Abbas finances this opulent lifestyle through crime, and he is one of the leaders of a transnational network that facilitates computer intrusions, fraudulent schemes (including BEC schemes), and money laundering, targeting victims around the world in schemes designed to steal hundreds of millions of dollars," the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) said in an affidavit.


In one case, a foreign financial institution allegedly lost $14.7m in a cyber-heist where the money ended up in hushpuppi's bank accounts in multiple countries.

The affidavit also alleged that he was involved in a scheme to steal $124m from an unnamed English Premier League team.

The FBI obtained records from his Google, Apple iCloud, Instagram and Snapchat accounts which allegedly contained banking information, passports, communication with conspirators and records of wire transfers.

About 90% of business email compromise scams originate in West Africa, research from American email security firm Agari shows.

'Yahoo boys'
The complaint against Mr Abbas and Mr Ponle describe tactics that resemble what the company calls Vendor Email Compromise tactics, where scammers compromise an email

"The bad actor would redirect emails to the bad actor's email account, craft emails to the customer that looked like they are coming from the vendor, indicate that the 'vendor' had a new bank account, provide 'updated' bank account information and the money would be gone, at that point."

Mr Ponle, known online as "mrwoodberry", used Mark Kain in emails, according to the FBI.

He is accused of defrauding a Chicago-based company into sending wire transfers of $15.2m. Companies in Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, New York, and California are also said to have fallen victim.

The cash trail allegedly disappeared after his accomplices, called money mules, converted the money into the cryptocurrency bitcoin.

Email scams have become so prevalent globally, and so deeply linked to Nigeria, that the fraudsters have a name in the country: "Yahoo boys".

They try to convince a recipient to wire money to the other side of the world or they go "phishing", stealing a user's identity and personal information for fraud.

The FBI warns against the Nigerian letter or "419" fraud - emails promising large sums of money, called advance fee scams. The "Nigerian prince" trope has become shorthand for deception.

How a 419 and romance scam works
Media captionOnline scamming: 'If it doesn't look right, don't trust it'
An individual may contact you via e-mail, explaining he needs help to transfer money
Will tell you that political turmoil or a natural disaster makes it difficult for him to make the transfer
Will ask you to give him your financial details so that he can transfer the money into your account
This allows him to access and steal from your account
Be careful what you post on social media and dating sites as scammers use the details to better understand you and target you
A Washington, DC-based attorney, Moe Adele, finds it frustrating as a Nigerian because it ignores the "systemic failures that have led to brilliant Nigerian youths engaging in these scams", in the country and abroad.

"They see it as an easy way out in a country that offers them limited options and, in many cases, no options at all," she says.

"But there are also many brilliant Nigerians are represented in world stages from education to pop culture."

How Nigeria suffers
Last month, the US Treasury Department blacklisted six Nigerians among 79 individuals and organisations in its Most Wanted cybercriminals list. It accused them of stealing more than $6m from American citizens through deceptive global threats like BEC and romance fraud.

'We Nigerians are not all criminals'
Ayò Bánkólé, founder of a Nigeria-based firm Bootcamp, faults the international attention on Nigeria alone.

"A lot of Nigerians are doing fantastic things all over the world, but they don't get as much media mileage as the guys doing bad things. It affects all the guys doing legitimate stuff especially in the tech space," he said.

"A lot of foreign companies don't ship to Nigeria, many payment platforms don't accept payments from us because it has ruined our image."

In its internet crime report for 2019, the FBI said it had received more than 460,000 complaints of suspected cyber fraud, with losses of more than $3.5bn reported. More than $300m was recovered, it said.

However, many online fraudsters don't get caught and even fewer end up going to jail.

Mr Donath says the cases are challenging because they happen overseas and tend to be quite sophisticated.

"They're time-consuming, highly document-intensive, and in many federal criminal cases, you have the difficulty of walking a jury through a chronology of relevant facts," said the partner at law firm Clifford Chance.

If convicted, Mr Abbas and Mr Ponle could be locked up for up to 20 years.

He can't be a betrayal! He is disloyal! Maybe his actions against oshiomole is a betrayal. But he as a person can't be a betrayal as betrayal is not a noun!

Lipscomb:
Obaseki is a betrayal.

Don't listen to that divorcee. He is from a broken home!

ollins:
hmmmm

This carpenter na how? He wants to fix the whole thing and probably rezinc the house? A while year's rent?
Just tell him to fix that particular spot where the rain water comes in and not fix the whole ceiling!
Personally I will lay a complain with the nearest police post. Not that he be arrested but that when u deduct the amount from rent he would not intimidate u with police. Or go to a civil court so they be a file! That landlord is vile

Mama4dworld:
I have done the accessment....it will take up more than a year's rent.

Don't marry that girl. She n the mother will frustrate your live especially when kids stay coming.

The mother will encourage her to flirt with other men.

She will encourage her to disrespect you if you can not provide.

They will liquidate your small business.

I can also decipher the mother is a flirt...this the reason the father left.


Please guys am I in a healthy relationship cos I'm just a small business owner trying to grow up.[/quote]

My dear she has no right to maltreat u when u r sick. But as soon as u regain your strength u continue doing those chores. Don't try to be stubborn or indifferent.

Bid your time. Since there are more opportunities in ABJ you should endeavor to start searching for jobs. Ask your inlaw to also help you. As soon as you get a job you save some change and leave.
Maybe your sis is also scared that you mite try something with her husband. She does not want to tell you outrite to leave her house as this mite anger your parents. Thus she wants you to leave of your own volition! She mite be playing smart to save her house.




My question is this, does she have the right to be so angry at me because she is doing her house chores? I feel its her house and so she doing her house chores herself shouldn't be a problem since am not too strong to help her do it. She herself just sweep and doesn't mop, but she expects me to sweep and mop everyday.

Should i just go back to my parents house and get a job there? Me renting my own house is not an option because am a lady and am just 22...

Please i need you guys advice, what can I do?[/quote]

Keemsleek005:
How did they collect samples from it? Does pawpaw now have blood samples or nose swaps. We dont need to believe all these stories, these is a pure lie about the pawpaw. You do test base on blood samples, swaps on saliva, mucus, semens etc, so its pure lies.

This particular president does not believe in covid19 so he is doing all he can to discredit the existence of the pandemic.
