The Nigerian politicians hoped the expulsion would prove popular. Across Nigeria, up to two million migrants heard the warnings of arrest, prosecution and forced deportation if they didn’t comply.
Shagari’s policy strained relationships between the two countries and it took years for mutual respect to be reinstalled…………

I was a child when this happened in Nigeria. Many of my primary school teachers were Ghanaians, and I slso had several Ghanaians as friends. I had a very dear friend Kodjo, whose family had to leave. Yes, Ghana expelled Nigerians in 1969 before this happened but I think the lesson to be learned here is that it's easy for leaders to use selfish sentiments to rile the people against foreigners in order to cover their own short comings. It's a script as old as ancient Rome. From Hitler to Trump, its a simple strategy to blame others for your problems. I live and work in Ghana now and it's my honest truth that if Ghana amd Nigeria get their act together, individually and collectively, they will easily be Africa's giants.

One thing this disaster brought was the separation of families of parents who were Ghanaian and Nigerian. In 2010 a daughter of my neighbor who he left with his then Nigerian fiancé returned to Ghana to look for her dad, it was very sad to see my neighbor crying

This is why many older Ghanaians hold Nigeria in bitter contempt.
I am glad younger Ghanaians are changing.

Great story but incomplete. You failed to add that the deportation order affected mainly Ghanaians living in Lagos which was then Nigeria's capital city. Large number of Ghanaians did not leave Nigeria but headed to other parts, mainly Eastern Nigeria. Once there these Ghanaians were welcomed with open arms and they formed large vibrant communities deeply integrated with local cultures in Aba, Onitsha etc. where they continued to thrive uninterrupted. Perhaps the impact of Ghanaian presence is felt most in the arts e.g. the rise of a new genre of highlife music featuring bands such as Okukuseku, artists such as Amakye Dede etc. who combined Igbo and Ghana traditions into a new style as enduring as the Ghana must go bags. No story of Ghanaian expulsion from Nigeria is complete without this angle.
Sadly Ghana must go has since morphed into something else with ongoing demolition of homes in the country.

I would like to see a sequel on how Ghana first expelled Nigerians back to Nigeria while Nigeria was in a civil war. It's against the Geneva convention to send people back to a country or their country if war is going on there.

It took me two sisters and my mum 4 days travelling in the bush with only elephant grasses paths to get to Kwara state , then we entered the northern part of Benin republic, then to the northern part of Togo travelling through Lamankara villages before travelling down to southern Togo , then we finally crossed into Ghana. I was 9 and I was carried by other passengers from one bus to the other since my mum couldn't handle all of us and we couldn't get our own seats.
It was a time of anguish and turmoil for Ghanaian returnees because the borders were closed by the Nigerian government after a short notice. Some lost their lives trying to get out of Nigeria. We were literally being hidden from Nigerians by good neighbors because of the threats to our lives.
Then when we finally made it to Ghana through hunger and thirst, we met a country who was hit by famine. Little or no food in Ghana. 😭😭😭

My father was displaced as a child in the chaos when Ghana 🇬🇭 retaliated and he didn’t make it back to Nigeria until he was about 19 years old, he always tells me about the horrible experiences he endured growing up in Ghana from his father’s relatives in Ghana because they didn’t leave he stayed with them and it got so bad that he left Ghana at the age of 19 went to Nigeria and did really well became rich through his fathers connections and settled in Lagos where me and all my siblings were raised..

Thx for the in-depth analysis of one of the darkest period in the Nigeria Ghana relationship. The first though was in 1969 when Ghana deported illegal aliens including several Nigerians under the Alliance Compliance Order under Prime Minister Busia. These two similar policies are no doubt the saddest periods in our joint history as Africans.
Interestingly, I was a Ghanaian expatriate teacher in Nigerian- and as a legal resident, I remember the sad faces of my students as they somehow felt we will all be leaving…..no sooner after that exercise, many of us disillusioned also left Nigeria.

Y’all should also do a video on “Nigeria just go”

I look at this video and a lot of the comments and one quote comes to mind: "An eye for an eye leaves the world blind."

Ghana was the first country to deport Nigerians in 1969.

All Ghanians in the comment sections should he proud. Ghana is far better than Nigeria now.
