Ghana must go is also a renowned phrase in Ghana and Nigeria. It dates back to history where Ghanaians were deported from Nigeria following a presidential executive order in 1983. The deportation was due to the fear that Ghanaians were taking over Nigerian jobs. Some also believe that it was a retaliation to Ghana after Kofi Abrefa Busia (Prime Minister of Ghana from 1969 to 1972) had first deported a large number of Nigerian migrants from Ghana. This history is mentioned in the book, as well as the Ghana Must Go bag.
