Nigeria is being mocked by Ghanaians on social media after a picture suggesting the country is planning its version of Ghana’s ‘Year of Return’ initiative surfaced on social media.
2019 was declared as the Year of Return by the President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo.

The aim of the Year of Return was intended to encourage African-Americans and African Diasporans to return to the motherland to commemorate 400 years since the first slave ship left the shores of Africa and arrived at the shores of America.
The Year of Return was very successful in terms of the programs and activities that were organised for the ‘returnees’ to engage in.
A lot of well-known African-American Hollywood stars also bought into the Year of Return idea and embarked on a trip to Ghana. The likes of Steve Harvey, Samuel L Jackson, Lupita Nyong’o, Ludacris, T.I were all in Ghana.
Barely four days into 2020 and a picture already circulating on social media suggests Nigeria has got their own plans for diasporans to return to their country.
“Door of Return” as it has been themed, has raised a debate on the social media platform where many Ghanaians, on the lighter side though, are suggesting that Nigerians are copying from Ghana and, or are doing a very poor job at it.
