We are one people you fool. No wonder you are NPP bastard of Busia . We NDC supporters are friendly to Nigerians. President Tinubu ordered WAPCO to delay the maintenance of the gas pipeline to save us from dumsor which you NPP fools were praying for. Please my dear Igbos, write a letter to the ECOWAS court in Abuja to throw out Justice Gertrude Araba Torkonoo's appeal to be reinstated. Her NPP party and Busia brought the alien compliance order in 1969. No Nigerian should support NPP. They are devils

Nigerians just have to follow the law. You do not negotiate on matters related to territorial integrity. Did Nigeria negotiate before they said "Ghana must go"?

You MUST be a FOOL If you think we will rely on Mahama to drive your CRIMINAL kind out of Ghana: The POWER is in the hands of the CITIZENS of Ghana. "Nigeria Must Go" will happen, and it will be made POSSIBLE by the PEOPLE of Ghana. There is a good REASON why NO COUNTRY wants Nigerians in their space!!!

Your Mahama is very foolish. Did you hear him addressing the Igbo man as "Your Royal Majesty" and when did that man become a royal in Ghana? Also, when NPP was in power, did you hear about that man till NDC and Mahama came? According to credible sources, the man came to Ghana and bought land when NDC was in power and he funded Mahama's campaign. If you are not aware of the dangers Mahama is leading Ghana into under this Igbo fool, the Igbos in Nigeria were agitating for a separate homeland in Nigerian which resulted in the Nigeria civil was fought for three years (1967-70) in which the Igbos were defeated.

So, tell Mahama that Nigeria is five times the size of Ghana and if the man has no place in a huge country like Nigeria, there is no land for him in Ghana. If you are a normal person, think and stop that stupid nasty politics you are engaging in.

Rebuild what? Has anyone asked you to rebuild anything for them? Meanwhile what makes you think that people only migrate for greener pastures?

Official sources from your own minister has it that at least 500,000 Ghanaians are resident in Nigeria, and yet some of you on this platform spew nonsense as though your country is so much better than anyone else's, which is why people come visiting or choose to stay.

Anyway, I'll just hold my peace here, given that officials from both nations - those who really matter, and not the nonentities in this platform - have asked for decorum so as not to further escalate things.

NIGERIANS' BEHAVIOUR IN GHANA IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO OUR GHANAIAN SOCIETY.

THERE ARE KIDNAPPING, SCAMMING, CYBER-SCAMMING, HUMAN TRAFFICKING, VIOLENCE, ETC.

THE 2028 ELECTIONS WILL HAVE NIGERIA MUST GO AS THE MOST URGENT VOTER NEED SO ABLAKWA MUST BE AWARE OF THAT.

THE PARTY THAT PROMISES THE SEND UNDOCUMENTED NIGERIANS BACK TO THEIR LAND WILL DEFINITELY WIN THE ELECTIONS IN 2028, MARK IT ON THE WALL.

PAN AFRICANISM DOES NOT MEAN ALLOWING OTHERS COME AND DESTROY THE VERY FABRIC OF OUR SOCIETY----OUR HUMAN VALUES.

Lol they? I've lived in Ghana for 3 decades and I have neither killed or kidnapped anyone, not to mention defrauded, so whom exactly are you referring to when you say "they"? Why don't you report this same 'they' to the appropriate authorities and have them arrested, since you 'obviously' (pun intended) have firsthand information about this.

Meanwhile, I can name at least 5 Ghanaians I personally know who have defrauded people (myself included). And this doesn't even include the popular ones like Hajia4Real and the other dude who was recently extradited to the US, or even the car smuggling syndicate in the US.

FYI, the reason why some Nigerians living in Ghana don't respect some of you is because of attitudes and comments such as this one. In any case, I don't expect you to acknowledge, let alone change your ways, so let's just let you continue wallowing in your folly why don't we. I, like most of my other Nigerian brethren living in Ghana, will simply sit back - popcorn in hand - while we watch the likes of you continue making fools of yourselves pointing an accusing finger at people when at least three are pointing back at you.

@Dauda. Do not distort history because Busia did not "Kick out Nigerians". What happened was, as Prime Minister, he introduced a legislation telling the Nigerians to register for their stay in Ghana as foreigners and those who refused to obey that were told to leave.

He gave them time to do that and those who willfully refused to obey the government directives, were told to leave, and that had nothing to do with "They were kicked out".

Why is Ghana and Nigeria working together to address this "Igbo" nonsense in Ghana? Is the Nigerian government aware of this Igbo stuff that was hatched up by Mahama and that Igbo fool?

When NPP was in government, did we hear anything about this Igbo whatever, no, so why all of a sudden it had become national news when NDC and Mahama came to power? There was a video in which Mahama was seen addressing the Igbo man as "Your Royal Majesty" and the question is why?

Does Mahama understand Ghana's constitution at all, and if yes, why is he entertaining this Igbo man in Ghana as a royal? If that Igbo has no land in Nigeria, which is five time the size of Ghana, how can he have a place in Ghana?

I am asking Ablakwa if he has any idea about the Nigerian civil war which was fought between 1967/70? That war was the result of the Igbos in Nigeria agitating for a separate country known as Biafra. They were defeated and still, some of them harbor that sentiments which John Mahama is quietly entertaining them to come to Ghana and establish their Kingdom.

Informed sources say that the funded Mahama's campaign and parliament should look into that. We cannot allow this Igbo man to come to Ghana and disturb our peace, and if Mahama is happy to have him as a King, he should get out and head into the unknown with the Igbo man, and nobody cares about that.

Lastly, Ablakwa should not play with our minds that the man hasn't acquired any land in Ghana because there is evidence to support that claim.

The Ghanaian Banks were destroyed by Akuffo Addo leaving the Nigerian banks to operate and control our economy. Now, kicking them out will hurt our economy. The Ghanaian politician prefer to render the Ghanaian impoverished as the plan is he or she is only needed on voting day. The poor Nigerian now grew horns and want a Kingdom to operate because the crazy Ghanaian politicians were fully bought. My advise to them is this. When the Ghanaian youth strikes, it will be brutal and war.

How Can Nigeria and Ghana Live in Peace Together?
Two West African giants, bound by history, culture, and struggle — but peace must be nurtured, not assumed.

Here’s a thoughtful breakdown of how Nigeria and Ghana can live in peace and grow stronger together — from the street markets to the highest offices:

1. Mutual Respect, Not Superiority
Both countries must stop comparing who is “better.”

Ghanaians must not stereotype Nigerians as arrogant or dishonest.

Nigerians must not dismiss Ghana’s sovereignty or assume dominance.

Peace starts with seeing each other as brothers, not competitors.

2. Stronger ECOWAS Integration
Strengthen regional cooperation under ECOWAS: open borders, shared currency plans, and anti-xenophobia policies.

Create joint Ghana-Nigeria business councils, youth exchanges, and media collaborations.

3. Responsible Media and Social Media Use
Stop promoting hate or stereotypes online.

Encourage content that celebrates cross-cultural unity.

A single viral video can either ignite division or inspire peace.

4. Protect Migrants on Both Sides
Both governments must protect their citizens abroad:

Ghana should protect law-abiding Nigerians from harassment.

Nigeria should protect Ghanaians in cities like Lagos and Abuja.

⚖️ Peace is built when laws are fair and migration is respected.

5. Celebrate Shared Culture
Promote music, food, movies, and football as unifying forces.

Host annual Ghana–Naija Unity Festivals in both countries.

6. Resolve Disputes Diplomatically
Whether it’s trade disagreements, deportation issues, or border policies — settle disputes through dialogue, not retaliation.

7. Youth Collaboration
Ghanaian and Nigerian youth must partner on:

Tech startups

Education

Climate solutions and entrepreneurship

8. Faith & Brotherhood
Churches, mosques, and traditional leaders in both nations should preach unity.

The ancestors didn’t draw borders — politics did. We’re family.

FINAL THOUGHT:
“Nigeria and Ghana must stop acting like rivals in a stadium and start behaving like siblings in the same house. Arguments are normal — but love must win.”

Let the world see: Africa’s greatness begins when her strongest nations choose peace over pride.
