Opinion- Has Xenophobia Reached Ghana?

The media has stopped reporting incidents of Xenophobic attacks in South-Africa likely because the Nigerian government wanted the issue to go away. Not all Nigerians were airlifted from SouthAfrica during the inferno as many remained because of their means of livelihood.

However, reports have started circulating about similar incidents of Xenophobia against Nigerians living in Ghana which is also an Africa country.

He relationship between Nigeria and Ghana dates back to the pre-colonial times when African leaders struggled for independence.

During the administration of Alh Shehu Shagari, it was alleged that government policy forced Gnanianss who were doing business in Nigeria to live.

Fast-forward to 2019, Nigerians have taken Ghana as a business hub due to their thriving economic situation there but there are reports that Ghanaians have attacked shops and businesses belonging to Nigerians in Ghana.

It is still not clear if the incident can be described as Xenophobia but reports and images of the incidents which are becoming prominent lately have continued to make headlines.
