‘Nigeria Must Go’: Ghanaians Call for Nigerian Deportation, Reviving 1983 Memories

Public outrage escalated in parts of Ghana on Tuesday as hundreds of demonstrators marched through city streets, demanding the removal of Nigerian nationals.

 

The protests, fueled by claims of rising crime linked to foreigners, particularly Nigerians, have reignited long-standing tensions between communities.

 

Videos circulating on social platforms captured passionate scenes of local residents holding hand-written placards with messages such as:

 

“End ritual murders now,” and “Protect our children from foreign predators.” Protesters also accused Nigerian immigrants—particularly those of Igbo descent—of illegal business practices and moral decay, including running prostitution rings and participating in occult activities.

 

A woman participating in the rally expressed her anger on camera, stating, “They come here and disrespect our rules. Enough is enough. They must leave.”

 

Others voiced frustration over economic displacement, claiming Nigerians have overrun local marketplaces, set up unauthorized leadership structures, and taken control of land and commerce:

 

“They’ve installed their own traditional leaders and are acting like this is their homeland. We will reclaim what’s ours,” one protester declared.

 

The incident has stirred painful memories of 1983, when Nigeria expelled nearly two million undocumented immigrants, mostly Ghanaians, under President Shehu Shagari’s administrational move that birthed the iconic phrase and luggage style now known as “Ghana Must Go.”

 

At the time of publishing, officials in Accra had yet to make an official statement regarding the growing unrest or clarify any plans to respond to the protesters’ demands.
