Ghana Must Go! Top 5 Places Ghanaians Love To Visit In Nigeria

‘Ghana must go’ is a very popular phrase in both Ghana and Nigeria. In Ghana, many people refer to the colorful checked jute bags as ‘’Ghana Must Go’’. 
 
This may be attributed to the use of these type of bags in 1983 by the large number of illegal Ghanaian immigrants in Nigeria who were returned to their home country.
