Nigerians should never have been seen as aliens in Ghana of all places. It was a great betrayal worse than being stabbed in the back by your own family. We married into Ghana and we had relatives we never saw again because Ghana broke families apart. It was 100% wrong and no excuse can be made for it nor for Nigeria’s revenge in the Ghana must Go saga. At least Nigerians who didn’t agree like me today stood up against our government to protect Ghanians who still lives in Nigeria to this day with 3 generations of them born as Ghanaian Nigerian citizens forever protected. We did that. What did Ghana do? Some of them many 30% of the country still dislike us to this day. The government of Ghana is anti Nigerian yet it needs Nigerian business and trade to survive. It just doesn’t make any sense why we can’t get along. Eventually we will choose another Africa country. Maybe far away Kenya even. Nigerians are like a great tsunami and can not be stopped by any race or people.

[@Ekowreelstudios]

Both the 1960s and 1980s expulsion was totally wrong and had the opposite unintended consequences we still see today. We must get along. I have to let you know also that Ghana and Nigeria still have greatly inter-married and its literally impossible to separate. Besides we ain't in the 19860s or 80s anymore to see some kinda "Must Go". We just needa get over it and move on.

And also Israel is the combination of Isis (spirit/feminine energy) Ra (mind/masculine energy) and El (Heru) which is the manifestation of God consciousness within us while the actual name is YISIR as a group of people. And it was Pharaoh Ahmose who expelled the Hebrews (Hyksos/Pa Heka-Khasut) from Kemet after their mighty rule and they used a biblical lie that biblical Moses who never existed was the one who saved them from the hands of Pharaoh Userma'atere'seteprenre (Ramasu/Ramases meaning Keeper of Harmony and Balance, Strong in Ra, Elect of Ra) and that they were slaves in ancient Egypt, Kemet which is no truth but a lie to promote confusion and hate amongst we as Africans, also we know the most high is Amun Re, Amon Re,Amin Ra or Amen Ra. The middle East was part of Africa and was once the then Palestine not Israel. We were never slaves of ancient Egypt, Kemet but we are actually the same people who later became Meroe. We still name ourselves the same way for example KuAME /kwAME is Amun or Amen for a boy born on Saturday and Ama or KwAMINa (Amin) for a girl born on Saturday and we call water as Nu or Nyu just like the primordial waters of Neter Nu and male is Nyumu/Obarima and female is Yoo/Obaa while a child is generally called Bi/Ba. We didn't have to name ourselves Isaac and the rest of the Biblical names which are European names. We know who we are once again and we also know the Biblical names of the Bible are plagiarized African/Nubian/Kemetic Kushite names which were corrupted and altered by the Roman Catholic church to confuse us into submitting into Catholicism and Christianity and remain mental slaves but in this age of Aquarius (Shango-HeruRakuti), which is knowing (I know I am) We are who we are, so therefore know thyself and you'll know the ancestors and the Neterus (Gods) within for we all in the All (mentalism). We Africans are the Black Christs and the true Black Messiahs because we are the (Heru who will become HeruRakuti, the inner suns-souls, the Saviours and masters within) not the Biblical Yahshua/Jesus of the outside who never existed. We left Kemet because of Arab invasion and conquest. The papal bull of 1493 was issued by Pope Alexander VI "Inter Caetera" in which he ordered both Spain and Portugal to colonize the Americas and it's Native people as subjects. It gave rights to both Spain and Portugal to colonize, convert and enslave. It also justified the enslavement of Africans.

My maternal great grandparents were Nigerians who moved to Gold Coast in the late 1800s. I have never been to Nigeria before but I wish to visit my ancestral village in Nigeria one day. I recently did my ancestry DNA and it proved that I'm 64% Nigerian and 32% Sierra Leonean and 4%other. I see myself as an Akyem from the Eastern Region of Ghana but I have no Ghanaian DNA in me. I know there are a lot of people whose history is the same as mine. We (Africans) are the same people! We are West Africans / Africans. One Love -True Son of the continent.

Excellent episode

[@ositamordi9799]

Thank you very much Ekow for this. Many countries at that time gave "Biafrans" (mainly Igbo) refugee status at that time. Ghana (I got to know this thanks to you), Togo, Benin (where they were given what would hardened as "Biafra" market (now Missebo, i think), Cameroon, Gabon (one of the countries that recognized Biafra), Cote d'Ivoire (where a section of Abidjan named Biafra still exists), Tanzania (where a section of Dar Es Salaam named Biafra exists), Zambia (recognized Biafra) the US, the UK and of course France and several other western countries. This migration sparked the wave of migration from Igbo land which still continues today though it is largely driven by economic interests. It is sad I must admit that despite the tragedy of the civil war in Nigeria, the political elites in Nigeria still treat Igbos as a conquered people. And any attempt by the Igbo to demand for their rights including to peacefully secede from the county is brutally crushed. And it got really bad under Buhari. In fact this was why Twitter was banned in Nigeria. The Ghanaian response to Jaja Wachukwu claims still sadly holds for Nigeria till this day. Those of them you see claiming to be pan-Nigerian are just fake nationalists. I never knew Ghana and Nigeria had a difficult relationship. Well it is nice to see the relationship much better these days. But I think it can still improve. The name is pronounced I-RO-N-SI not IRON-SI. It is not pronounced same as "Iron" in English. Thanks for this.

Great history though your tune and choice of words reveals the dangers in half truths. Nigeria and Ghana are both sovereign states and should remain so. Any narration that suggests that those who oppose territorial integrities are supposed puppets of western countries is erroneous. In Europe what they have is military and economic alliance which is NATO that doesn’t mean there are no borders between Germany and Poland, this is what Nigeria stood for and not the way you paint it making them petty with accusations of envy to little Ghana. Akinyemi’s citation from daily times 1960s does not represent the position of Nigeria but an opinion of an individual. It was wrong for Ghana to make such public accusations about a Zick’s speech without proof. Nkrumah had an idea, Nigeria rejected his idea. But making ascertains and unfounded conclusions based on your sentiments makes your presentation a half truth and biased.

Though I never heard the whole story from this angle bcos I was little then, and they've all passed away now that I am old enough to understand things. Now too the crux of the matter.. Nigeria is on that verge of collapse again . Now it's not only the igbos whom want to leave as ; the Biafra nation. The yorubas too want to leave to form our own YORUBA NATION. And from all indications it is highly probable this year 2022 or next year 2023 and a war might likely happen , because the British slaves from the north whom held Nigeria together have become unapologetical terrorists. Nigeria is a scam country forcefully put together by the British for their own selfish ambition, and the British are still ruling Nigeria by proxy, through the Fulani terrorist government placed as watchers over it.

Your analysis were very correct, what from my view happened was that the British used the government of Nigeria through Belewa the Prime minister to bring the African unity down,

[@olumuyiwaasunmo]

Thanks for this effort. There are lots of issues that were going on at the point of independence in both countries that were surely going to set the two on a collision course. First, Nigeria did not expel Ghanaians, those having work permits were allowed to continue their work while those having non were told to go and regularise their papers. You rightly pointed out that the unfortunate precedence was earlier set by Ghana, not once but twice with Yorubas seriously affected both times. Yorubas had stayed peacefully and law abiding in all West African countries in large numbers before these bad precedences were set. My main comment would be about Kwame Nkrumah's position at the point of independence of both nations as they relate to the mode of African unity. At this time Egypt and Israel were at war, and Israel had gained considerable influence in Africa particularly East Africa to which it turned in the face of a hostile Arab environment. The main ally of Egypt was the Soviet Union whose ambition was to win over independent Africa to its side from the West. Gammel abd el Nassir called Nkrumah, Egypt's son - in -law and wanted him to initiate moves to form a united African nation with the covert objective of expelling Israel from Africa fearing that Israel could use its influence in Africa to get Ethiopia and the other nations at the source of the Nile to cut off Egypt by damming the Nilein the event of a war with Israel. He was to specifically canvass the making of Ethiopia the Capital to compel Ethiopia to be receptive to the idea. Nassir now brought Nkrumah into Soviet Union's sphere of influence which would be the source of disagreement with Nigeria on the one hand and the polarisation of Africa on the mode of African Union on the other hand. This was also the source of Pro Soviet , and anti West rhetorics for which Nkrumah was well known. The OAU materialised eventually but not the model that Nassir and Arabs wanted. It must be pointed out that it was Israel's issue that brought Arab North Africans close to Africa to which they had hitherto distanced themselves.

[@Ekowreelstudios]

Thank you so much for this detailed analysis. North-Africa had their interest of which you are totally right. We should however also point out that Nkrumah also had its own interest with regards to the unification. He was paranoid and suspicious of the west in regards to the development of the continent. The West also had an interest in keeping Africa down because of the history of slave trade, massacres and genocides. They feared Africa certainly would pay them back if they become powerful and united. I can now think his gut feeling was right. He was using the Chinese model in Ghana and there is no doubt that it could have worked if it wasn’t for the serious interference from the West. He built more than all the predecessors in Ghana from education to huge infrastructure. i will say Nkrumah was way ahead of his time. The only Nation that has clearly stood with Ghana with Ghanaian interest at heart is interestingly China. yes, China. i mean the old China. I personally feel his agenda was overstretched and it made many states suspicious and uncomfortable. In Ghana, he was vilified and demonized after his over-throw but shortly after he was vindicated and many political parties decided to copy his development model but it was very difficult to execute since it somehow required some kind of iron fisted implementation. Nkrumah forced Ghanaian ethnic groups and tribes to unite or coexist using some kind of policies on education among others to bring all of us together. According to some Ghanaian historians, he was accused of force cultural imposition and assimilation which was seen as a threat to some ethnic groups or tribes who felt theirs were superior to the others and didn’t want any kind of inter-relations or mix with the other tribes., he forced so many things that back then he was seen as an evil dictator but now we have come to understand and appreciate it. It now makes a lot of sense. He wasn’t a saint but he was certainly not a villain either.

It affected my parents, a huge population of Yorubas return after the Alience compliance was called off. Yorubas were still visible much more than any other Nigerian ethnic group into the early 2000s. When Yorubas came back, they started integrating into the Ghanaian system in addition to being in Business. Most parents sent their children to school in Ghanaian schools, who passed through the education system into several professionals. The huge populations of Igbos who came in the early 200s have been in the retailing businesses like spare parts, electricals which has made them to be easily recognised and can easily be segregated from the Ghanaians while there are more Yorubas who you can hardly knows are Yorubas. About 40-50 % of Yorubas are muslims who only use Islamic Surnames who can barely be distinguished from the muslim communities in Ghana.

A very good narrative with facts, but you overemphasized some points and de-emphasized some very important points. The threat Nigeria made to take over Ghana was true and that made Ghana so worried. Ghanaian leaders thought the only way Nigerian take over Ghana is through the help of the Yorubas who were very much present in Ghana, well established and controls a chunk of Ghanaian economy at that time. It was that fear that made the Ghanain president to come up with the Alien Act targeting the Yorubas.

[@sunnyyande378]

@@Chainbreak2023, if you are honest to yourself you will know that the Yorubas were rich, had properties and were becoming very influential in Ghana at that time. Even the guy in the video said it too. If they did not have any influence on Ghana's economy, why did the economy collapsed after the Yorubas were driven out? I am not suprise at your comment because some of you Ghanaians live in denial.

@@sunnyyande378 This your own phantasy. Yourubas were petty traders mainly from Ijebu, Ijebu ode, Ilesha etc, mostly illiterate Muslims who did not see the value of education. Remember Ijebu Kobo? They were not rich but had small one man shops mainly in the markets. My own father employed several dozens who bought cocoa from farmers with advances from him. Most of their kids who were my classmates dropped out of school to trade in the markets. Their aggressive behavior incurred the wrath of Ghanaians who were happy to see their backs.

Kudos!Fantastic research done except you still did not say why there is so much rivalry between the two States.My respect to Osageyfo Kwame Nkurumah but his ideas about Africa was not original to him.There were already discussions about the unity and formation of the African States in Monrovia, Liberia.You know Liberia was never colonized.They had Africa Americans who had come to settle even before the now acclaimed year of return that happened in Accra recently.Nigeria went along with Liberia because despite the hijacking of the idea by Kwame Nkuruma he also wanted the Capital of the African States to be in Accra.Many Africans nations did not like it as they found him too ambitious.Ghana wanted Nigeria badly to be on the team but Nigeria was willing to go with Liberia.I am open for more discussions.

To always ascribed Yoruba to only Nigeria is wrong history. Yoruba people are not only indigenous to Nigeria alone. Yoruba land and the people are also indigenous to Benin Republic and Togo where they are called Anago and Nago. Yoruba are like the Ashanti and Wolof or Hausa. The Wolof land extended into Gambia and Senegal. It was during the Berlin conference of 1884 that Yoruba land was divided between Germany-Togo,France-Benin Republic,British-Nigeria. Inorder to weak the Oyo empire. The relationship between Akan speaking people like the Ga,Fanti and Ewe with the Yoruba could go as far back. The most recent recorded history of Ga,Fanti Ewe and Fon was in 1764. The Battle of Atakpamé was an armed confrontation between the Ashanti Empire and neighboring Akan Allies under the leadership of the Kingdom of Akyem who joined up with the Oyo Empire and the Kingdom of Dahomey in and around Atakpamé in Togo. The Oyo empire,which was Yoruba led Empire formed an alliance with the Ga,Fanti,Ewe,Fon to stop Ashanti expansion Eastward. The relationship between ethnicities in Ghana and Yoruba from the East is beyond modern times. And that relationship is inclusive of Fon,Ewe and Yoruba from Togo and Benin Republic,not only Yoruba from Nigeria.

There is no point, don't waste your breath; all these people from Ghana (and I'm seeing a lot of Kwa/Kwe.. in the names ... cough cough.) know is "Nigeria is bad, Ghana is good" and they don't want to know deeper than that. Please don't waste your breath but I really enjoyed reading that though 😊

Kofi Bissau and Archempong in 1969 Ghana drove out millions of Nigerians that have been in Ghana before colonization. It affected Togolese and people from Benin republic also. Millions of Nigerian were sent packing and they lost their homes, land , and businesses. This lead to Ghana must go in 1983 And now, a new Nigeria must go is on the pipeline again .

How can you even call him a king? Ghana is a republic and has no king. You need to study the constitution before talking about issues you have no knowledge of. That so called ' Igbo king' in Ghana can be deported back to Nigeria if he starts any trouble in Ghana.
