History

African immigration to Ghana is a recent phenomenal since majority of historical immigrants have been coming from Europe and Asia.

African immigration increased in the late 1980s and 1990s where most of the immigrants came as students who had the intention of actually acquiring skills and go back to their home countries. This couldn't happen because many African countries were not yet politically stable and the economies were in shambles.

Some ghanians came as students and once they completed school they could mostly move to Australia. But most of the Ghanaian New Zealanders also settled because New Zealand had also a better economic condition.

Of recent many Ghanaian New Zealanders come directly from Africa and want to settle in New Zealand rather than using it as a bridge to other countries.
