THINGS THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT DOESN’T WANT TO DO ARE ALWAYS IMPOSSIBLY HARD, EVEN IF THEY’RE NOT:
"Ghana deported over 3 million Nigerians and other African and non-African immigrants in 3 months."
If true, this makes deportations seem utterly trivial to do because they can be done on a huge scale by a country with extremely low state capacity. https://t.co/kYf8Y3tuhB

However, according to Grok, the number seems high: “Deporting 3 million would mean 20% of the population, which strains credibility for a country with limited state capacity at the time. More realistic estimates suggest 200,000 to 1 million were expelled, mostly Nigerians, over a few months. Data’s messy, but the scale was still massive for the era.”
By the way, when using X you can do what I did — if you’re unsure of a fact in a post, just reply to @grok and ask about it. In this case I just replied: “@grok is this number of deportations correct?”
