You did an awesome job explaining what it's like to live in Ghana. I need more information. Because you gave good descriptions, I am thinking about taking a trip there. Thanks
Thank you for this video! I'm am scouting the world for a place that is friendly towards African Americans, similar to the U.S, but also completely different lol! Your detailed descriptions of both the positive and negatives of Ghanaian daily living were the perfect blend of informative and entertaining that kept me laughing and learning! Thank you queen!!!!!
thanks love you so much and your spirits seem to be so much better.glad u haven't given up gives me hope that at some point hopefully sooner than latter that i can make the same journey and transition. Your truly a trailblazer for the rest of us. lots of love from the US.
You seem happier in this video, almost like you've learnt the mentality and the ways of Ghana. I couldn't agree more, Ghanas progress is slow yet sure so it takes patience to live there. Ive heard many testimonies of the healing power of Ghanas sun. Good to see you
Love your energy. Any developing country will be easy to build a home because there's a lot of flat, unused land lol hence why it's 'developing'! :) It's like Philippines, where my Mom's from. she got people to build a nice house from the ground up. it's a blessing that we are able to even do that kinda thing in these days . I agree wit u! then when u go back home u have a nice place to stay too.
my man is a ghananian... and we are planning to settle and start our family in there.. i hope i could find a good job in. there in relation to my profession... i heard/watched the negatives that you outer already... this is a huge help for me.. thanks a lot
Missed your videos! How is your own home going? Yes, please do a video on real estate. Loving the fabric behind you and your head wrap. Resplendent as always. Do you still post on Facebook? I have not seen you put anything up in a while. I remember you had changed pages. :-)
Thanks for this! And, yes, please do a video on real estate in Ghana. Specifically, I'd love to know the cost of buying land and building a modest home in Accra or within a hour's driving distance from there. Also, are there any citizenship requirements before being allowed to own property?
I can tell you about this including best property in accra and tema you can email me on ahodwo805@gmail.com - ican give you the names of reputalbe companies both to buy land and property - like i mentioned earlier i have property in Tema in a gated community
Hello, you open your mouth a lot surely if you are from Ghana, I met an accra ghana woman who only took money from me, I do not want to say that all women are the same. You seem sure of yourself that's good, I think it's good you promote your country especially ghana ... in your previous video I saw your construction and I am very surprised that you have too many outputs to connect contacts or electric breakers, they are too many, you do not need so many, with a single power down is enough to have barias exits, take care that god bless you ... kisses
Ghanaian are may be MOST Cheerful.peaceful.open mind and clear relation in Africa or even in the wold , ( no hidden aggression and hypocrisy like in Europe ) I love MY GHANA.
I live in the United States. Although your accent is funny, lol my eyes only see an African Sister! If u had no accent, you would seem as if you were a Sister here in the US with us. lololol I love our people, we are so unique to our own! Thank you for both Vids!
Are you in Ghana now? Sorry I didn't contact you. I was ill for a year , believe it or not. I am finally well and returning to Ghana for my LAUNCH. I have so many sign ups and I think I will be super busy, kinda scared I won't have enough products. if you are there and you want to work with me, let me know.
Obviously if you don,t open your mouth a lot of people would think you are Ghanaian.Do you think your British accent is a plus or minus ?By the way you have beautiful skin if I may say so.
May I ask what kind of visa you have? Are the visa laws strictly enforced? For example, in many countries you can obtain a long-term "business" visa, which does not technically allow you to work. However, in practice you can do some forms of "work" in the sense that you have to guide and oversee the development of your business and even doing some of the things that employees need to do... simply because sometimes they don't know or have not been trained to do the task yet. So, is a person allowed to take on these roles in a small business he or she creates? In practice is it allowed?
@6:30 so is that why Ghana has such a bad mish mash of chaotically done houses and standards bcuz everyone does whatever they want? That's NOT a positive ,girl.
My home is paid off here about a kilometer from Fergustan, Misery. They still ask for a couple of thousand dollars in property taxes to pay for their overpaid police, fancy pig cars, and prison plantations where whorprations work their slaves. *Ghana sounds really nice.*
I have a property in ghana in tema to be exact in a gated community in called emefs estates - i am currently renting it out but will sell when the tenancy expires next year - if you need more advice or help in buying a property, i can give you the names of veery reputable companies but plese be ware property in Ghana namely Accra, Tema and Kumasi can be very expensive due to the fact that we import everything, the cement, paint, tiles, roofing sheets etc thus making property in ghana expensive but e-mail me on ahodwo805@gmail.com if you are interestre in buying my house and/or wanting info on propertyi in Accra or Tema
okay... But by "all the negatives" I meant the nature or kind of negatives you said about Ghana.. I was expecting something more soothing than just "learn a new language", "meet new people" and "sun".. These are basic things I believe will even exist in hell lol.. I just wanted you to do the Ghana hype better than this.. 🤔 and i think the price for "a malaria tablet" you gave in the negatives was wrong. I think you're doing a great job though.. Next time show the nice things and places Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭😊. I will finance your 'expensive' cost of internet.. Even though I don't agree it's that expensive as you stressed on? I think it's affordable
The fruit?, You've got to be kidding! Oh, OK, you live in the UK, so I suppose I should give you a bit of leeway there. Having spent over a year in the UK recently, I can say that finding good quality fruit was not easy, and finding fruit that was good quality and affordable was sometimes impossible. So yes, compared to that situation, you could be forgiven for saying fruit in Ghana is a Positive. But really, you mention bananas, pineapple, and mangoes, and that is in fact all you have. I suppose it is possible that, being a UK resident, you've never actually seen other good fruit in your life. But where are the strawberries, cherries, melons, grapes, apples, pears, oranges, tangerines, etc, etc? The average Ghanaian has no clue what a real orange is, as the stuff sold as "orange" on the streets looks to be some orange-lemon-grapefruit hybrid or something like that. The only real orange I saw was in Accra Mall supermarket, at a price of about 14cds a kilo in about 1999. The watermelons are poor, as they are always small and relatively tasteless. I don't know if it is a poor variety or if they are picked too early because the people can't wait to get them to the market for sale. And now the prices: there is always the argument that some things are expensive in Ghana because they are imported, but how can locally grown produce be more expensive than in some places in Europe? For example, the aforementioned oranges; the poor quality watermelons are also high; the bananas; even freaking onions and tomatoes are expensive! It appears to me that only a relatively small percentage of the population in Ghana is aware that they are being royally ripped off. Given the relatively low cost of labour and real estate compared to the West, many things should be much, much cheaper that they are.
+Essence Champagne Well, I was rather specific with my comments. Which of them do you disagree with? And, what is your frame of reference? If UK, then I've already indicated that you may be forgiven for not realizing that your choice in fruit is very limited. If only Ghana, then your opinion is not worth anything, as it has nothing to compare it with. "I never got ripped off". Again, what are you basing that on? If I say that I can buy fruit and vegetable in Europe, where people earn much more than in Ghana, for less than I have to pay in Ghana, then that is a rip-off. What is your definition of a rip-off? Compared to levels of Income, food in Ghana is wayyy overpriced. Oh, and my wife is Ghanaian, and I've spent months driving around Accra, Tema, Prampram areas. I suspect that PART of the problem is too many middlemen between grower/fisherman and the final seller, each one adding their profit to the price.
Bill Friedman if we are going with the basis that my opinion is not a strong reference for an argument than that destroys the basis for your rant. As it is the same as mine: opinion not fact. Also I think it is lovely you have a Ghanaian wife I have a Ghanaian husband. Now I can't compare any of my experiences to those in UK. That's your experience...so if you feel you were ripped off based on that ok.. Fine. Im from the US and I don't think I was ripped off based off what we pay for organic foods here. I just found that when I went to the market, any market place, the prices were negotiable. I loved that when my husband was with me, or anyone else that was a native, would assist me with haggling.
Essence Champage I said your opinion is not worth anything IF your only shopping experience is in Ghana. i.e. for all I knew when I was writing, you are a Ghanaian who has never been anywhere else, and hence have no basis of comparison. I was not trying to be insulting. What I said about fruit in the UK is that it is not very good, and very expensive, so that in comparison to that, Ghana may appear OK. Also, my rant related to the relative lack of choice. Again, where are the cherries, strawberries, real oranges, melons, etc, etc? I don't know if your reference to US organic produce prices is necessarily the most valid comparison. Why organic, which is always more expensive in the West? 14cds for a kilo of oranges (seven years ago) is not ridiculous? 5cds for a kilo of onions (five years ago) when I can buy that in Portugal for 60 cents? How much do you pay for watermelon in the US, and how much in Ghana? Again, take into consideration the much lower incomes of Ghanaians compared to those of Westerners. It's not necessarily always practical or convenient to go to Accra market, where I suppose prices would be better. But when I see piles of hundreds of watermelons along the roadside, outside of Accra, and they want 5cds a kilo (several years ago), what is the justification? I took the time to rant because I perceived the video as confirming the fact that many Ghanaians are simply unaware that they are being taken for a ride in many cases, and it could be useful if enough people were to wake up to this nonsense.
