Xenophobia in Africa has historical roots beyond South Africa, with documented cases in Ghana (1969) and Nigeria (1983) where African nations chased away other African nationals, suggesting that xenophobic tensions are not unique to any single country but represent a broader pattern of inter-African tensions that may be influenced by political and economic factors.

Africa on Edge! Ghana Murder Case + SA vs Nigeria Tension Rising π¬ππ³π¬πΏπ¦Added:
Kudos to the Ghana police service, the IGP Christian and his men. Actually Ghana is resetting because few days ago an Indian national was found dead in his own vehicle. Ghana police tried launching an investigation into the matter. One most important aspect is the Ghana police service has arrested one suspect in connection with the murder of an Indian national dendras in Kumasi.
The suspect is currently in police custody assisting with investigation.
Challenge be careful outside because you might not know what you do and once you are doing it look your back or else they will come for you at any time.
>> Do you know that xenophobia actually started in Ghana not in South Africa?
Yeah, most of you don't know about this because this happened in 1969 when most of you right now were inborn back then and there wasn't internet for us to push or speak about it like we are speaking about xenophobia in South Africa. Now in 1969 Ghanaians chased away Nigerians and other African nationals from their country because they say they taking their jobs, taking their wives and all of that like South Africans are doing right now. Then in 1983, Nigeria as a country retaliated and that's when it came about the whole Ghana must go by chasing away thousands of Ghanaians away from Nigeria.
Then we started hearing about South Africa but most of you all don't know about this. Everybody speak about South Africa as xenophobic country. Yes, we understand that they are xenophobic, violent. They didn't. Ghanaian has chased away foreigners, Africans from their country diplomatically and with violence like South Africans are doing. That is why South Africa is ranking. But you guys should go do your research and know about this story.
>> These people fled from their countries because of the political climate.
whatever it is, we we we don't necessarily know what makes anyone pack their bags and come to South Africa. But it is always for a political reason.
Although of course we have lots of criminals who also take advantage of that fact. It it becomes a problem u to actually make pronouncements and say that it is all okay. It's not.
We seem to want to need to go back to the drawing board on a lot of issues especially such as the porous borders we have in South Africa. How do we control uh this type of uh uh flooding the country with foreigners?
Yeah, Mr. manager.
I'm here once again.
I'm using this your platform because this your platform goes viral, goes a lot all over the world. People are watching your your your program. People are listening to your program.
I'm taking this opportunity to advise all the African people.
I have to giving the knowledge to African people.
Many African people, 99.99% don't understand exactly what is going on.
Our African leaders, our African leaders are standing on the politics to destroy Africa.
Africans, listen to me very carefully, Mr. manager, please play this my voice message once again to all the Africans, all the Africans.
Our leaders stand on the politics to destroy Africa. that many people don't understand each people each people everybody supposed to go back to their country and sit down with the leaders and speaking sense to the leaders because they are making a Africa unstable they don't want us to stay home so that they can people run away from the country to the Europe so that they can take advantage and sell our resources and share for themsel that is why Ghana and Nigeria a lot of all African countries 54 countries we are crying we are talking we are fighting many people don't understand what South Africa people is doing many people don't have knowledge about it many people don't understand why because they don't know exactly the point that Africa is sinking many people don't know if all the African people go back to their country and talk to the leaders, the leaders will think and do the African better for all of Africans.
But their intention to keep quiet for people to migrate and run away so that they can take advantage of their rest and looting the resources and share for themsel. So now the advice that I'm giving to all the African people, the black people, the cribulant people, Mr. Manager, please this one is very very important for me to to to pray this my voice must say to all the African people that Kibland the black man the black woman they should go back they should learn from South Africa and they will go back so that the leaders will put things in order for us to be enjoying the Africa but instead of people because of people don't have the deep knowledge about this that is why They are blaming the South Africa using the [Β __Β ] shitty word calling xenophobia.
If Nigeria people go back to Nigeria, the leaders were afraid to fix Nigeria by force.
But Nigeria people are run away. They are Jqua. The word that you people used to say Jqua, you are run away. How come your leaders will face Nigeria to become a better place for Nigeria to stay?
Nigeria will run away. The same thing Ghana, the same thing South Africa, the same thing Kenya, the same thing Uganda, the same thing Sineagal, Gambia, Gabon, Cameroon, everywhere.
So many people don't have deep knowledge about how the politicians are ruling govern the world.
They are destroy us from our path.
The politicians, including the pastors, including the imams, including the whatever, all of them are one working for the Europeans, black Africans, a land people, black Africans, listen to me. Black Africans, listen to me very carefully. The day that all the African people will return back, the day that all the African people return back to Africa, that is the day our leaders will fix Africa and put things in order for us to enjoy Africa very well. Because the cosmic mother of the universe, the the mother of the mankind brought us or bringing us to this earth to enjoy this earth. He giving the resources to all of us and the politicians are using their mind to deceiving the citizens and enjoy the resources that the creator of mankind giving to all of us. The day that African people our sense will come back to us. That is the day that Africa will be Africa will be Africa will become a better place. That is what South Africa people are doing. But you people don't have deep knowledge. You people don't have you people don't see things. That is why you people are complaining. A lot of people don't have sense. That is why they are fighting. They are talking against the South Africans. South Africa people want all the Africa people to come back so that our leaders will fix Africa for us.
But many people don't understand. Many people turn things upside down. Many people don't reason. Many people just come to the media and talk anyhow because they don't have deep knowledge.
They don't have sense. They don't have the kiboland sense wisdom. They talk anyhow because the white people, the Europeans taking their time for centuries change the African people.
That is how African people talk like this because of they they are out from their way their their path. African people are out from their path. That is why they are insulting the South Africans. Mr. manager pray this my voice message to all the akiban people the African people the black people that the day that we our sense will come back that is the day the politicians will fix Africa otherwise African people will continue crying and crying and suffer and suffer because we are we we are out of the sense 99.99% of the African people the kibolan people they don't reason well they don't think well they don't focus they don't understand how the Europeans changed the Africans for centuries is many years they stay with us they changing us. So majority of the African people still their mental is the European mental our mentality is the European mentality that is why they are fighting they are fighting South African people. South African people want the African people come back to their their homes so that the our leaders of our politicians will think in focus and reason and fix Africa for African people.
This is what the African people don't understand the South Africans. Many people come to the media and speak and talk but they don't have sense. They don't they don't they don't know what is going on in the system of the politics how they are playing the tactics. Many people don't understand how the Europeans are playing the titles. How the African people are playing the tactics. Our leaders are playing the tus. Look at the Nigeria. A country like in Nigeria a country like South Africa.
A country like everywhere. We have all the resources our cosmic mother given to us. The mother of mankind given to us to enjoy because we are the first people on this earth. We are the ingenious people on this earth. We are the firstborn of our mother the creator. He give everything to us. But many people they don't understand. And then the politicians are taking advantage and changing the people's mind.
So many people thinking backwards instead of thinking forward they are thinking backwards that is why they are fighting South Africans because they don't have deep knowledge they don't know exactly what is going on what the politicians are plant in us that is why they are fighting South Africa people if the ailant people the black people Ghana Nigeria people understand what the politicians are doing to us that is that very day that Africa will be fixed go to your country and fix your country.
If somebody saying go to your country, that person is insulting you. If somebody telling you go to your country and fix your home, somebody telling you go to your house and clean your house, that person is is is enemy of you. That person is giving you the wisdom, the sense to remember yourself, remember your back. Go back and take your knowledge and do something better for yourself. But many people don't have deep knowledge. Many people don't have sense including even some of the politicians and our chiefs our kings our queens majority don't have sense deep knowledge that is why I'm saying I am taking my time to explaining the good path to Ghana and the Nigerians so that our politicians to fix Ghana and Nigeria before we turn together before we become brothers and sisters otherwise we are not we are not Nigerian people have their god. Ghana people have their god. They are not the same god. We are not brothers and sisters until this thing until our mind our brain come to us before we become brothers and sisters.
Otherwise no I beat my chest to tell all over the world people we are not brothers and sisters. Yes we are not.
President Mama is saying we are brothers. People is saying we are brothers. Ghana people are saying we are brothers. Nigeria people are saying we are brothers. You people don't have deep knowledge. You don't have sense. That is why you people are saying we are brothers. We are not.
We are not the same womb. Two people from the same womb. Everybody have his brain his mind.
Then you tell me they are the same people. Every each person come from his um his place the planet that he is from coming to this earth. We are not from the same planet. We are not from the same planet. We are not from the same place.
Our mother womb is the same as people are take are taking the car going to some direction. After you reach your point, everybody will go to his home, his path. Everybody will take his part.
That is how our mother womb is. You people don't have deep knowledge. You people don't have sense, common sense.
That is why majority of African people are saying we are brothers. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Doesn't know. We are not.
We just come, we just come from one womb, but we are not the same people.
That is the point. So don't allow the politicians to lie to you. They are politicians. They are liars. They are lying to you people that we are the same people. We are from the same place. We are whatever. Muhammad is telling [Β __Β ] stupid fools e history to Ghanaians to South Africans which is not true. It's a lie. He knows that is a lie but he's lying because he's a politician.
The day that all the African people our brain our wisdom return back to us. That is the day that Africa will be better place. Our leaders will put things our leaders in focus and think well and plan well and do something better for African land.
Yes, that is that very day and that is what South Africa people seeing it and they are telling us go to your country and your leader will face.
If South Africa leader face South Africa, Ghana leader face Ghana, Nigeria leader face Nigeria, do you think we will travel again to South Africa?
Do you think we will travel to Europe?
Do you think the slave cannot stop?
That is [Β __Β ] and stupid and idiot people that in they are in Africa.
Idiot people is is in Africa.
Our our leaders are idiot. Tinu is idiot. Buhari is idiot. Mouhamama is idiot. Is idiot. They know all this and they they pretend to destroy the African land a land people.
They are idiot. They are foolish.
Muhammad is speaking foolish talk.
Foolish talk Muhammad is speaking.
Foolish history. Mouhamama is vomiting to the South Africans and Ghanaians and the Nigerians. That is a foolish talk Muhammad is doing.
So Mr. Niger please pray this my voice my say to all the African people that the day that our sense will come back to us that is the day the the politicians will face Africa that is what South African people is telling us yes that is what South African people is telling us but people don't understand people don't have deep knowledge people people don't so all the African people supposed to back the South Africans so that our leaders will stop corrupting Africa to fix Africa so that African leaders will fix Africa.
Not you help your not you help South Africa people so South Africa people should sitting down and watch the African people to come there and put our hands into their eyes. No, no, no, no way no. South African people cannot sit down for other African people to come to their land, their father's land, their mother's land, their ingenious people's land to put your hand in into their eyes. You blow the dust into their eyes.
They cannot sit down. That is why I'm supporting South Africa to beat them to kill them. Yes. So that our leader will think, President Mouhamama will think and focus and reason and fix Ghana so that nobody will go to South Africa and disturbing them. Yes.
Because President Mama forget himself because he's a corrupt. He don't have he don't have sense. That is why he deceiving the Ghanaians and the Nigerians talking rubbish of the history to the South Africans and the Ghanaians which is [Β __Β ] because they they deceiving us because they know nobody know this secretable know that Nigeria people don't have secret president Mama know that Ghana people don't have the secret but I have the secret I know the secret I know what is going on that is why I'm saying the very day that all the Ghanaians our brain our mind will come back to us that is the day that President Mama will fix Ghana by force who conclude you fix Ghana by force if you like it or not you'll fix it but we are our brain is not our mind is not that is why he's taking advantage of us looting the country stealing the country robbing the country Nigeria people go back Nigeria people go back Nigeria people go You are the cause. Nigerian people are cause of they are the curse. Nigerian people are cursed of the Africa because you people are run away. You have run away from home.
and talk to your leaders that you people return back. You put sense to your leaders so that they will fix Nigeria by force who conclude. Don't run away.
Don't run away. You have majority. You have population. Don't run away.
Nigerians don't run away. Go home.
Go home and let your leaders know that you are back. Your sense come back. You are knowledge. Come back.
You have sense. Talk to your leaders.
Don't run away.
Why are you people run away? Nigerians, why are you people run away? You have you have people, you have majority, you have resources. Why you people run away?
Why is wrong with you Nigerians? Why is wrong with you? There's no any single person have the knowledge about the Nigeria, the land and the people and the constitution and everything what is going on. There's no single person. None of you know the secret about and you people have run away.

Go back to your leaders and put you the sense to them so that Ghana also go back to the our leaders. Nigerian people quit from Ghana. Leave Ghana our land and go back to your father's land and fix it.
Shameless people, you are run away.
If you run away, who will fix your house for you? South Africa people is telling you go and sweep your house. You are saying South Africa people hate you and people are talking rubbish and nonsense on the lie. Many people they they just take their phone and speaking rubbish and nonsense because the European change them. They don't have African sense.
South African people are giving the all the African people sense so that our leaders will fix it by force and it will be okay for us.
Thank you Mr. Manager. I will come once again and lecture my people. Those who don't have common sense, though they have they don't have deep knowledge, those they are dying in the brain.
Thank you.
I greet you my brother, Mr. Niger, the authentic brother. How are you doing? Uh my brother, there is an issue. I want to bring it up here for all Ghanaians to know the kind of people that we are living it in Ghana.
I saw on joy news where one educated person was trying to narrate the story or trying to you know have a thought about what is happening in Ghana and in other countries in Africa.
And the guy the the young man was trying to alert our leaders to go on and arrest the demonstrators and those who even attempted to close some shops in Ghana.
this gentleman who claims to be educated person who when you come in terms of English speaking he's very fluent but the the knowledge of him to be able to know the right thing to say and the right thing to be done the guy lost it all and that's what I want to express here you know being educated doesn't actually means if you able to acquire degrees and certificates that means you are educated. But even education starts from the house. The way your parents going to bring you is even more educated that than to go to classroom for you to be taught. We we we go to classrooms to to polish our education that we got initially from our parent in the house.
So you being educated does not actually um emphasize on your degrees that you have obtained but how you going to put things in practical way that means you educated person doing your things as mature person speaking in in speaking with maturity that determines how educated that you are. So I'm here to address that that young man who was on Joy News platform trying to uh tell our leaders to go and arrest the demonstrators. No, one thing that this guy lost is that he should first ask himself why are people on the street demonstrating?
Why are they demonstrating?
That's the first thing that he has to ask himself before coming out to make any comment about the demonstrators.
Ghanaian started complaining about the behavior of of the migrants in Ghana.
Not today.
We've had many complaints from Ghanaians all over Ghana complaining about their attitude and behavior and people who are violating our rules and regulations in Ghana which our leaders they just they listen and just overlook it. They listened and just overlooked it. They they don't act on what Ghanaians are demanding from them. So what do you expect people of Ghana to do? They will definitely go on street if they are complaining. If they are demanding and you are not answering them, you are not attending to their attentions.
They will definitely do what? Go on demonstrations.
So when they on the street and they are demonstrating and you are telling me that those people must be arrested, it means yourself don't know what you're talking about and you are ignorant as well. It doesn't matter how fluent you can be in English. It doesn't matter how how how how degrees how much degree that you have you have um you know obtained or whatever but your way of living your way of putting things in order that determines how mature and how educated you are.
People have been um asking for government or the president to act on some institutions which is going going against our constitution which our president is is not caring is not listening is being reckless most of the times. So when people on the street and they demonstrating, my brother, are they wrong?
Are they wrong?
If they if they are demonstrating, they're not wrong. So if you come and tell me that the government or the the political leaders, they have to go and those people the Muslim has be arrested. No, you are not making sense here.
You're not making sense here.
And I believe after making such comments, he will receive attacks from Ghanaians. I know that he is he's definitely going to receive attacks from Ghanaians because you can't sit in your in your country and allow foreigners to come and then invade your rules and regulations and be happy with it. Then it means you are even helping them to violate your rules and regulations.
So my brother, this is what I want to I want my fellow Ghanaians here to know that in fact we have educated fools amongst us. We have educated fools amongst us. People that we assume that they educated and when it comes to uh a situation like this they can stand and protect their country. They are even the ones who are helping the foreigners to destroy our roots and regresses in the country.
Are you getting it? So this is what I want to I want to bring it up here so that Ghanaians here who are very very patriotic people will be knowing that not every educated person is a well-being Ghanaian but we have educated fools amongst us.
Sorry for my word but that's the best way I can put it. We have educated fools amongst us. So we must be careful on those on those people. Yeah, that's what I want to say. Thank you.
Today this is the question to everybody. Why didn't he stop the demonstration today?
Because he has seen that now Ghanaians are fed up. Since Ganes are fed up that he himself he has started adjusting himself.
You see this thing that my brother Good evening Mr. Manager 2 3 years ago or something like that.
