It insinuates that the migrants have &#8220;Come&#8221; with &#8220;No&#8221; intention to &#8220;Go&#8221; back to their native homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Eight years after her experience with the stigma, Irine Asanji (the film maker) uses her anthropological background to investigate more on the situation of over 5000 Ngie migrants who had probably experienced the stigma of <em>Cam No Go <\/em>more seriously.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Irine Asanji follows the lives of some personalities from both the Ngie and Bakweri communities. Through participant observation, conversations and interviews, things turn out to be more than what she had expected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Has national politics caused too many problems for the Ekona people? Do the Bakweri expect Ngie migrants to leave their land? Who and why are some people Like Israelites in Egypt?
