The recent resurrection of xenophobic attacks on Nigerians living in South Africa got Ghanaian model and musician, Deborah Vanessa, fondly called sister Derby to say on her Instagram page that xenophobia against Nigerians has been happening in Ghana on the low.
She described these attacks as disgusting and stupid.
According to her, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah has been turning in his grave since his death.
She said she stopped being bothered when people address Africa as a country because there is no unity.
Her post reads:
I stopped being bothered when people addressed Africa as a country a long time ago, because what is better than being united as a people?
The late Dr Kwame Nkrumah has turned in his grave aah taya.
‘They’ want to keep us fighting each other, can’t we see? United we stand, divided we fall. Then ‘they’ take over.
We are very stupid by fighting each other.
Xenophobia against Nigerians has been low key happening in Ghana too and it’s very disgusting and stupid.
Shame on anyone who hates any other African just because they are not from your same ‘country’. Yet we are all Africans!
“We no dey hia any borders, we be one Africa, that be the dying wish of Kwame Nkrumah!” – @wanlov #endxenophobia #xenophobia .
The African Mermaid as she is also called is known for songs including ‘Uncle Obama’, ‘Ghana Jollof’, ‘sampanana’, ‘kakalika’, among others.
