In Botwana if tou try to smuggle diamond out of the country you will be shot. The result is Botswana has one of the highest per capital in Africa. Why can't we execute these people public on our beaches and send a message? They are robbing our future children of the heritage that we will leave for them.

Dear Kofi, much as I agree with you that most of them do not know the difference between Nigerien and Nigerian I think in this particular case the reporting is misleading. Note that the report referred to the suspects as 'Nigeriens' but went on to say they were handed over to the 'Nigeria Embassy'. I got confused myself. So, for now, we can give them the benefit of the doubt without condoning the insult and hate against other nationals.

Well said..but I think Nigerians would rather spend their day in front of a computer doing 419 than working in a mine pit. I THINK these are Nigerians and not Nigerians.

Ghana is now a nation of illegal immigrants, who sees Ghana as a lawless country & therefore, can do as they please.

Ghanaians are bunch of stupid illiterate multiple idiots. For the Ghanaian's envy and hatred fir the Nigerian successes worlrd wide; the average visitors to this site don't even know there's a country called NIGER whose citizens are called NIGERIENS and not NIGERIANS. Stupid Ghanaian fools, get this hard into your blocked heads that Nigerian will never stoop so low as to get into your Gallamsey pit business; as you Ghanaians did collecting rubbish and sweeping streets in Nigeria in your days of severe hunger. The Nigerian pride is far bigger than that and I'm sure the average Ghsnaian knows this. Nigerian shere pride is what is killing the Ghanaian everyday of their life. There's nothing the Ghanaian can do about whom the Nigerian choose to be. Go and embrace ECG transformer if you are so embittered about Nigeria.

No one envies Nigerians 'sakawa' success. All these social vices we have in West Africa are the inventions of Nigerians. Just mention 419, credit card fraud, armed robbery, raping, sending fictitious letters to dupe innocent people, passport fraud, false marriage, illegal drugs trafficking, Nigerians are the masters.

You have stolen all your oil money for your personal use. Ghanaians don't envy Nigerian satanic riches. You are rich, but you are in your numbers in Ghana as street hawkers. What riches is that? You scammers of Nigerians. Soon, we shall pack you like sardines and send you back to your hellish Nigeria. Just keep on harming Ghanaians. Nigerians, friends of Satan.

Not only are foreigners in illegal gold mining, there are also a host of Indians in gold trading locally and illegally laundering money and foreign exchange. the Indians too should be flashed out.

see your dirty mouths insulting naija,what business has Nigeria with illegal mining in Ghana,and in any case,there are so many Ghana criminals operating in Nigeria as we speak,especially doing oil theft and bunkering while so many Nigerians are all over the world suffering,mental laziness will not allow many of you to see further than your noses,you will not see your shallow brained charly brothers who are here in north America stealing cars and doing pick pocket and when they get to that shit hole of country,you wellcome them and call them burgers,what has Nigerians taken from you bastards,always insulting people that are bigger than you in this life and the next,it was Ghana that introduced prostitution,smoking of wee etc in the whole of west Africa when Ghanaians became the first economic refugees,go to francophone west Africa or even your nearby Burkina Faso and ask them what they call prostitutes in their country,for those of you who don't know,if you want ashawo in Burkina Faso,you simply say,où puis-je trouver Ghanaine?

We as citizens should should help the Police and GIS by not renting homes to illegals. By the way we Ghanaians don't hate Nigerians we just don't like lawlessness.
