'Ghana must go' and Ghana has gone ahead of Nigeria

Omotola Jalade Ekeinde

There have been varied reactions to a post on social media by Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, in which she praised Ghana for making developmental strides ahead of Nigeria.

In a post on Instagram after visiting Ghana last week for AFRIMA, Omotola suggested that Ghana was developing faster than Nigeria.

Making a historical reference to the 1983 'Ghana must go' episode, where thousands of Ghanaians were deported from Nigeria because of economic hardships in Nigeria, Omotola said Ghana has indeed taken advantage of that move and really moved ahead of Nigeria.

On social media, many have supported her comment, whilst some disagree.

The ace Nollywood actress made the observation during her trip to Ghana for the 2018 Edition of the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) which was held at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) on Saturday, November 24.

She noted that Ghana has developed and left her country [Nigeria] behind by stating that the Terminal 3 at the Kotoka International Airport and the cedi’s strength against the Nigerian naira was a clear indication that Ghana is doing better than Nigeria.
