E-Lecture - Nigeria Hareton Earnshaw: Oil Boom
  • 1983 deportation order “Ghana must Go”
  • Other Africans are being treated as slaves due to the post-colonial slavery mentality all in the name of nationality
  • Nigeria is obviously under a military junta, presumably General Muhammadu Buhari’s regime when illegal immigrants, chiefly Ghanaians, were thrown out of the country in large numbers. From Nii Tackie’s viewpoint, this is a payback for a similar thing Ghana did some fourteen plus years before when he became separated from his family
  • Foreigners are treated as nothing and always on the run
  • The deportation of illegal immigrants called “aliens” led to high loss of lives and properties

To make matters even worse, over 1 million Ghanaians were sent home from Nigeria.
