My point is that I don't understand the amnesia that we have suffered. The reason they gave for sacking Ghanaians is that Ghanaians were taking over their jobs, shops. They are doing the same to us today. Duuuuh!

Busia's aliens compliance order 10 years earlier asking foreigners to obtain residency permit is what you are referring to. Well if Nigerians acted solely because of that then it makes my reminder even more timely.

Ghanaians never remind ourselves of that; but Nigerians always remind themselves by calling a bag 'Ghana must go'.

Hey you're taking our jobs, businesses and bleeding our economy. Fellow Ghanaians the amnesia must be exterminated. Remind your fellow Ghanaian.

Poverty has risen in Nigeria, with almost
100 million people living on less than a $1
(£0.63) a day, despite economic growth,
statistics have shown.
The National Bureau of Statistics said 60.9% of
Nigerians in 2010 were living in "absolute
poverty" - this figure had risen from 54.7% in
2004.
The bureau predicted this rising trend was
likely to continue.
Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer but the
sector has been tainted by accusations of
corruption.
According to the report, absolute poverty is
measured by the number of people who can
afford only the bare essentials of shelter, food
and clothing.
North-south divide
The NBS, a government agency, said there was
a paradox at the heart of Nigeria as the
economy was going from strength to strength,
mainly because of oil production - yet
Nigerians were getting poorer.
"Despite the fact that the Nigerian economy is
growing, the proportion of Nigerians living in
poverty is increasing every year, although it
declined between 1985 and 1992, and between
1996 and 2004," head of the NBS bureau Yemi
Kale said.
Continue reading the main story
Nigeria's population in poverty
1980: 17.1 million
1985: 34.7 million
1992: 39.2 million
1996: 67.1 million
2004: 68.7 million
2010: 112.47 million
Source: Nigeria's National Bureau of Statistics
Oil accounts for some 80% of Nigeria's state
revenues but it has hardly any capacity to
refine crude oil into fuel, which has to be
imported.
Last month, there was a nationwide strike when
the government tried to remove the subsidy on
fuel, angering many Nigerians who see it as the
only benefit they received from the country's
vast oil wealth.
The NBS said that relative poverty was most
apparent in the north of the country, with
Sokoto state's poverty rate the highest at
86.4%.
In the north-west and north-east of the
country poverty rates were recorded at 77.7%
and 76.3% respectively, compared to the
south-west at 59.1%.
BBC Africa analyst Richard Hamilton says it is
perhaps no surprise that extremist groups,
such as Boko Haram, continue to have an
appeal in northern parts of the country, where
poverty and underdevelopment are at their
most severe.
The report also revealed that Nigerians
consider themselves to be getting poorer.
In 2010, 93.9% of respondents felt themselves
to be poor compared to 75.5% six years
earlier.
Mr Kale says releasing such statistics from time
to time is crucial for effective government
planning.
"This kind of data helps them to know what is
really happening so they can track their
policies and programmes," he told the BBC's
Focus on Africa programme.
"It gives them the opportunity to look at what
they are doing... and if there are areas they
need to change, it makes it easier to modify
strategies," he added.
