"Without knowing our history, we can never fully understand our present and future."
Omo Ghana: Man for Chop is compelling documentary that will premiere at the Silverbird Cinemas on the 28th of February, 2025. As migration continues to impact global cultures, this film revisits a significant period in history by examining the 1983 wholesale expulsion of over one million Ghanaians from Nigeria.
Omo Ghana's intimate and evocative narration reveals the heart-breaking personal stories of families torn apart at the Aflao border, as well as the deep emotional scars left by the forced expulsions. This tragic chapter provides a lens through which we further understand the current dynamics of migration, including its causes and repercussions.

At its core, Omo Ghana invites us to reflect on the fundamental question which is; What drives people to leave everything they know and seek new beginnings elsewhere? Whether driven by economic hardship, political instability, or the quest for a better life, migration is a deeply human phenomenon that transcends borders.
Migration, from the earliest human migrations to the present day, has been a constant force, shaping cultures, economies, and societies. Today, millions of individuals embark on journeys across the globe, seeking new opportunities, fleeing conflict, or pursuing dreams of a better life. Omo Ghana explores these motivations, showcasing the diverse experiences that unite us all in the shared pursuit of survival, dignity, and hope.
Beyond the statistics, Omo Ghana is about actual people caught up in the complex network of global migration. It explores how migration can benefit countries by promoting cultural diversity, creativity, and economic progress while also challenging the systems that govern them. The documentary encourages us to empathize with the migrant experience, urging us to see the humanity behind the headlines.
These catchy phrases, "You no go go?" and "We for jakpa!", encapsulate the resilience, hope, and determination that characterize migration. They are more than just phrases—they are a reminder of the strength it takes to embark on such journeys, and the unbreakable connections that bind us across borders.
