Ghana Must Go!
(Which sounds like a play on this blog’s title)
In 1983, the familiar blue and red checked zipped bags, made
in China, and sold widely across Europe, were branded by Nigerians, “Ghana Must
Go,” bags.
The Nigerian government, as part of an economic ping ponging
of migrants between the two countries, ordered the expulsion “en masse” of all
Ghanaians.
So hurried was the process, that the outward bound had to
cram their worldly goods into the cheap, strong, easily available, woven
plastic bags.
Guileless, the moniker continues today in Ghana.
