Liberian singer based in Ghana, Irene Logan has taken to twitter to remonstrate how deep xenophobia runs in Ghana.
According to her, “the depth of xenophobia in Ghana towards other African citizens runs very deep! Especially towards #Nigerians and #Liberians.”

A lot of tweeps who did not agree with her assertion took a swipe at her.

As a Nigerian I lived in ghana for 3 and half years and I've never experienced such. Ghanaians are nice lovely and peaceful in general. The only thing that annoys some Ghanaians is the fact that we snatch their girlfriends easily 😁😀. So ur statement is incorrect in my opinion.

Irene Logan (born February 16, 1984) is a Ghanaian-based Liberian singer and songwriter. She gained popularity as a member of the music duo Irene and Jane, composed of herself and Efya.
The duo competed in the maiden edition of the Stars of the Future talent show in 2006, where Logan emerged the winner.
Logan started her solo career in 2009 with songs like “Runaway”, “Kabila”, “Na me dey there”, and many others. Irene Logan’s music is generally inspired by the diversity of Africa, witnessing different cultures of the beautiful continent.
She has won Best Female Vocalist of the Year award at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards on two occasions.
The disappointment of most of her critics lies in how she was accepted by the Ghanaian music industry irrespective of her nationality.
