@TheManBrooks I don't know why y'all keep pushing this narrative because majority couldn't care less. In fact 300 is too little.

@i_am_nunya Exactly!! We are a third world country! Not in any position to accommodate a huge influx of illegal immigrants.

If there’s no 300 jobs created then what businesses were the Ghanaians doing in the country ?

[Top notch𓃵 @Odi_theG]

Now that you have witnessed the difficult living conditions faced by many South Africans, I urge you to inspire your fellow countrymen to return home. South Africa’s challenges are severe and worsening 👀

“Attacks and mass deportation of foreign nationals is not a South African invention. Ironically, Ghana wrote the template in 1969.

In November of that year, the government of Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busia issued the Aliens Compliance Order, requiring foreigners without proper documentation to leave Ghana within weeks. What followed was one of the largest mass expulsions in postcolonial African history. Hundreds of thousands of West African migrants were forced to leave. Not the 300 that were reportedly flown back to Ghana a few days ago. We are talking about at least 500,000 people sent packing without any prior notice. The majority were Nigerians. Others came from Togo, Niger, Upper Volta (modern day Burkina Faso) and Côte d’Ivoire. These were not recent arrivals. Many had lived in Ghana for years, some for decades, even before the Gold Coast obtained its independence to form Ghana in 1957. Let us ask the right question. What led to this mass deportation of Africans by Ghanaian authorities?

Ghana in 1969 was facing rising unemployment, economic stagnation and growing social discontent produced by governance failures that the Busia government had neither the capacity nor the political will to honestly address. And so it reached for the instrument that governments in economic difficulty have reached for across centuries and across continents: the foreigner. If citizens are struggling, immigrants must be part of the problem. It was a lie, and it was a politically effective lie, which is the most dangerous kind.

What it was not was an accountability for the actual sources of Ghanaian economic difficulty, which had far more to do with the structural conditions of a commodity-dependent economy, the terms of Ghana’s integration into international trade, and the governance choices of successive Ghanaian administrations, than with the presence of Nigerian traders in Accra’s markets and Togolese farmers in Ghanaian plantations. Nigeria would follow a similar path a little more than a decade later.

Nigeria, 1983: The Expelled Become the Expellers

A little more than a decade later, Nigeria expelled approximately two million migrants during its own economic crisis. Among those expelled were Ghanaians, some of whom belonged to families that had themselves been displaced by Ghana’s 1969 expulsions and had relocated to Nigeria in search of the opportunity that xenophobia had stolen from them.
Nigeria in 1983 was experiencing the consequences of oil revenue mismanagement on a scale that should have produced a fundamental reckoning with how the country’s political class had governed its extraordinary resource wealth. It did not produce that reckoning. It produced an expulsion order. The billions that had moved through Nigerian state accounts during the oil boom years and arrived in private hands rather than public infrastructure were not the subject of the national conversation. The Ghanaian mechanic and the Cameroonian trader were.”

@ntsikimazwai Not you dali. Now you care about WMC companies?

[Farida Bemba Nabourema @Farida_N]

Last year, the US government said some African governments refused to participate in its forced deportation programme for illegal migrants. Ghana volunteered to collect them and help dump them.
In 2022, the British government decided it no longer wished to host asylum seekers on its own territory and needed somewhere to offload them. Rwanda raised its hand.
In 2016, the United States decided it could not keep certain Guantanamo Bay prisoners in its own facilities. Ghana openly agreed to receive them on African soil.
And now the United States has decided it cannot repatriate its own Ebola patients to its own vastly superior medical infrastructure. Kenya has offered to build them a treatment centre.

Every time a Western government identifies something it considers too dangerous, too embarrassing, too legally complicated or too politically inconvenient to keep on its own territory, there is always an African government somewhere ready to collect it.

Deportees, asylum seekers, terror suspects, infectious disease patients. The willingness of certain African leaders to position their countries as the world’s surrogate waste management service, in exchange for whatever diplomatic or financial token has no visible floor.

There will always be morally bankrupt opportunists in government who will not look at the safety of their people, the dignity of their flag or the solidarity owed to the oppressed, and will instead compete to be the most useful to the powerful.
