Celebrated Ghanaian rapper, M.anifest, has asserted that it is wrong for the Ghanaian media to blame Nigerians for the crimes happening in Ghana in recent times.
He said journalists should not be quick to finger point and headline Nigerians for crime in Ghana.
There have been several reports of kidnapping in the country over some months now and once news of such is reported, the media points suggestive fingers at Nigerians.
Just recently after the news went viral that two Canadian young women Lauren Patricia Catherine Tilley, and Bailey Jordan Chitty have been abducted, the Ghanaian media quickly blamed it on Nigerians living in Ghana all because kidnapping for ransom have been all too common for years in Nigeria.
But it later turned out when the 20-year-old and 19-year-old Canadian nationals were rescued and the eight suspects napped that three are Nigerians living in Ghana and the other five are Ghanaians.
Born Kwame Ametepee Tsikata sharing his in view on the matter in a tweet indicated that it is irresponsible on the part of the media to blame Nigerians for the crimes in Ghana were Ghanaians are also involved.
He added that crime has no nationality and therefore it is wrong for the 4th estate of the relearn to blame Nigerians for crimes were Ghanaians also do same.
He wrote“It’s irresponsible for Ghanaian media to be quick to finger point and headline Nigerians for crime in Ghana, even when Ghanaians are also involved. Crime has no nationality. We want to “other” people who look like us. Complain when it happens to us abroad. DO BETTER.”
