Why Ghanaians protest against Nigerians

Nigeria-Ghana Relations Tested Amid Protests Calling for Deportation of Nigerians Accra, Ghana – Diplomatic tensions flared between Nigeria and Ghana in late July after Ghanaians staged protests demanding the expulsion of Nigerians over alleged criminal activities. Demonstrators in Accra accused Nigerian immigrants of fueling kidnappings, ritual killings, and social vices, with placards reading: "Who protects the rights of Ghanaians?" "Nigerians are kidnapping people for rituals!" "Our children are going missing!" The protests referenced recent security concerns, including the death of a Ghanaian High Commission official in Abuja during a robbery. A History of Migration and Expulsions Nigeria and Ghana share deep historical ties, with significant migration dating back to the colonial era. However, relations have been strained by past mass deportations: 1969: Ghana’s Aliens Compliance Order forced out 140,000 undocumented Nigerians, citing economic protectionism. 1983: Nigeria retaliated with the infamous […]

Trump Seeks $1 Billion in Damages from University of California Over UCLA Protests

Trump Administration Demands $1 Billion Fine from University of California Over Antisemitism Claims Los Angeles, CA – The Trump administration has demanded a staggering $1 billion penalty from the University of California (UC) system, alleging insufficient response to antisemitism during 2024 Gaza-related protests at UCLA. The fine, five times larger than Columbia University’s recent settlement over similar claims, could cripple the public university system, officials warn. UC President James Milliken confirmed receipt of the demand Friday, calling it an "existential threat" to the 10-campus network, which includes UCLA. "As stewards of public funds, a penalty of this magnitude would devastate America’s top public university system, harming students and all Californians," Milliken stated. "UC research drives life-saving medical breakthroughs, powers the U.S. economy, and strengthens national security." Political Backlash California Governor Gavin Newsom, a UC regent, vowed legal action during a […]

Federal Government Urges United States to Consult Nigerians on Visa Policy Revisions

The Federal Government on Friday urged the U.S. to directly and adequately engage Nigerians anytime there is a review of its visa laws, rules, and regulations to enhance better understanding and compliance. The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, made the call when the U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Richard Mills, paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja. Idris called on the envoy to ensure constant engagement with Nigerians on any new changes, considering that Nigerians travel to almost all parts of the world, including the U.S. Idris recalled that Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, the Director-General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), had put out information cautioning Nigerians against the misuse of the U.S. visa. “And because we, Nigerians, travel a lot, it is good that information is shared with us, because these travels are done for tourism, education, […]

Can Africa stand together against Trump’s tariff assault?

Some say Africa should present a unified response to US tariffs – but is that possible? It is hard to discern a continental pattern in United States (US) President Donald Trump’s new ‘reciprocal’ import tariffs imposed on African countries last week. It is also difficult to discern whether a unified response by Africa is possible or desirable. Thirty-two of Africa’s 54 nations got the global minimum rate of 10 per cent, 18 countries got 15 per cent, Tunisia got 25 per cent and South Africa, Algeria and Libya got 30 per cent. Trump’s new tariff rates presented on 31 July corrected some of the grosser anomalies in his April announcement. Notably, Lesotho’s astronomical tariff of 50 per cent was reduced to 15 per cent. But some, like South Africa’s rate, stayed the same despite vigorous government lobbying to reduce it. In […]
