It was a great metaphor when it is said that a Dog died in the Barn of Fowls, for if it is reversed, say the Fowl died out of Strange sickness at the Yard of a dog, concussion will be that dog has killed Fowl again.
Around 2009 or so, Ghana Government Trade gave Ghanaians total support as they wrestled Nigerians trading in ACCRA /OPERA SQUARE, especially those doing well in Electrical accessories hot trouble and exit them from thence.
The reason for such outrage are group of silly and Idiotic inanities which include that Nigerians should not have Shops in Accra, unless on the street where they will be selling retails, not at the Market where they sale Wholesale and bringing the over high priced goods to competition, also with the Divine gift of Oral reach out which Nigerians employ they seems go held the heart of buyers.
Nigerians started excelling, making the market to have attractions for Ivorians who came to Accra to make Wholesale purchases, the IGR of the place shot up, the value of properties jumped through the roof.
The Landlords started seeing money when they lease to Nigerians.
The persecution was first prosecuted through same Landlords by asking them not to lease space to Nigerians and it was done, until a Ghanaian Man who lived in Nigeria told the committee in charge of riding Accra of Nigerian Shop owners, the man told them, unless they will start sharing profits they made from thier wares with him, unless they will pay the same High rent which Nigerians pay and timely too, unless Ghananians will bring peace of tenancy like Nigeria do..
Well, the cases and arguments the Man presented can't be met with any Ghanaian.
The act of ejecting Nigerians from Shops were perfected when Nigerians High Commission in Ghana, the same one they reduced to rubble now, wasn't Vocal enough or had no voice to step in with Provisions of ECOWAS TREATY,maybe because we send Politicians and untutored merchants as Envoy instead of Diplomats, that has reduced the arguments of our mission or Embassies, most of the Maerchants we sent inplace of Diplomats sees such position as position of aggrandisement, also they practice the style of thier Boss back home, the act of massive extortion, embezzlement and rudicling the Nation they are suppose to be Ambasadors of.
Ghana grew bolder after the first attack which was successful, they moved into other trades of Nigerians in Ghana, an ECOWAS country, where Nigeria is supposed to be the Giant, they pull them down and out of circulation, while the Government stays dumb.
Then after they have dealt with Individuals of Nigeria, they sat back and plotted, waited and sent Emissary who invaded Nigerian Mission in Accra Ghana, they pull down Houses of Nigerian Government in Ghana, an Act of War.. with silly Excuse that the Land is not ransomed well enough.
The Location of the mission is in a Neighborhood that if you shout loudly, it will constitute public nuisance, disturbance and Police will be on you within minutes..
But they invaded Nigerian Mission with Bulldozer, Armed personnels and operated for hours and not one Police of Ghana official were heard.
Making it a calculated adventure of the Government of Ghana against Nigeria as a Nation.
The problem is not the invasion and the non challant attitude of Ghananian Government, it was the belittling of the Might and Myth of So called Giant of Africa even though with Mosquito legs and empty brain.
The interpretation of the pulling Down of Nigerian High Commission in Ghana is the act of WHAT CAN YOU DO?.... America will call it act of War and Americans will do everything to maintain the position as Global Police, which we are Continental Police, though I doubt if we have enough muscle to make the claim now..
I was still angry about the humiliating demolition, expecting that Ghana Government will be remorseful, an act of repentance remorse that pacify the offended, but no, they didn't do any of such, instead they arrogantly announce..
Thier benevolence which is why they reluctantly agreed to rebuild the houses they pulled down, not the insult of the invasion, the chastisement of Nigeria as a weakling, the demotion of Nigeria as a cripple Nymph, the castration of the "Giant of Africa".
Even though we have poor leadership, but the fact that we have individuals who are Top notch can't be over emphasised, so degenerating the Nation is a sacrilege too many to accept, especially by those whose might, size and economy can only be put in contrast with Lagos as a state.
Nigeria as a Nation need to wake up from this slumber and position of African Cripple, they should do something to reclaim the position of a Giant.
The position of Leader of African continent even when it seems to be history and obsolete.
In a time like this makes one to ask, Are we cursed in Nigeria or we are the Cause?.
I remain Last Born Mpa Nnukwu, Mkpisi Ndi Egede,Mazi Odera POg JP trying to understand why we love to be the weak nation of Africa.
