"How to kill a woman without leaving a trace" was googled 163 million times in 2025. But it's okay let's talk about alimony and the male loneliness epidemic.

The conversation cannot begin and end with the rights of migrants. It must also include the rights of citizens, the capacity of the state, the availability of resources, and the impact on communities. Anything less is an incomplete and dishonest discussion.

“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.”

So I must pay TAX on my income earned, then pay VAT and LEVIES on items purchased using my already taxed income, then pay DUTIES if I save enough and purchase a house, but pay GAINS TAX if I sell same house, then still pay TAX on any remaining amount I have left when I retire? 🤨

Conquest is when during armed conflict, the winner takes the loser’s land. Theft was when the governments of the Cape used the law to steal land and livestock of indigenous Africans using the Glen Grey Act, pol tax and pound laws and gave that to whites. Theft was when the government of South Africa stole land from Africans through the 1913 Land Act and gave it to whites. Theft was when through the Group Areas Act of 1950, the government stole land and other movable property from Indians. coloureds and Africans and gave it to whites. We still have some of that in my University. Theft was when on the eve of democracy, land belonging to the state was quickly siphoned away in 99 year leases to state functionaries and proxies. The list goes on⚖️=🕊

Before Gadaffi was killed, Libya was among the fastest growing economy in Africa, the per capita income of a Libyan was $11K; education, health care, housing were all free. Yet, the people who destroyed Libya are walking freely today, giving us lectures.
