24 Hours Inside Ghana's Capital City (crazy African megacity) 

Good you're alive

it's spelt Ghanaian please.

Thanks for showing us another country that has its problems and the potential to change for the better 😊

*did you see his butcher shop?* probs best not to ask. fine entry. _JC

@@barrakelmahmoud I know you,you are Walid's cousin right?

I wouldn't say Ghana is poor They've just been going through a phase because of bad economic policies and a little tussle with EU

@Prince Okilo It's definitely poor... They said it themselves in the video. If you live in a lawless country, you're pretty much poor because you do not have politics who care for their people...meaning people there have to fend for themselves, which means poor. What these countries need to do is build businesses/factories where people can obtain employment so they can survive. No business = no pay, which leaves countries struggling.

@@r.r911 because they always chose wrong people to power

These governments don’t really collect much tax. There’s not enough money to invest in industrialisation. Even if there were, it takes many generations to train up the workers needed. You need skilled and educated management and limited corruption. It’s so much more complicated than just the people as well. It requires stable logistics and suppliers as well. I don’t see a way forward for these underdeveloped countries.

Well lets face the facts. Why does not companies invest in Africa with cheap labour. Close to tons of natural resources. The people living there is lazy and corrupt. Not just the leaders. Dont forget China was the last country that was released from colonalism.

i hear you

Yeah me too feel so

Doesnt stop me from hating my life any less tho

Remember there are african women doing short reels on youtube acting like they all have lots of money. It deeply angers me that they talk like that and meanwhile it LOOKS LIKE THIS.

@@1marcelfilms Same...

I can't believe how good the slums look compared to some gypsy villages inside the EU. Ghanians are way more poor and even the poorest of them lead a decent life. They don't want to live in a trash.

And the industrialized countries with well paid jobs use them as their trash bin for consumer goods. Admireble that they dont spit in our faces while visiting.

Except for the one who wanted to stab him.

@@redplanet7163 yeah the *one* lol

Super poor area yet He went for this click bait like All of Accra looks like that.. SMH

I'm saying!!!!!!!

what about somali land?

@@JackHernandezGentlemanJackThey may not have visited it yet.

Well this video doesn't paint Ghana in a favorable light.

You are Ghanaian stop all these lie

LMAO

You so so on point

What declining economy? They have been there for ages. Since the British left

Thanks for clarification. I could see great boxers coming from there.. Many of our great boxers come from the slums too. That man who calls himself Survivor looks like the former U.S. heavyweight boxing champion Deontay Wilder.

@@yaamanu3974 the point I'm alluding to isn't the length of time th slum communities have existed for but rather the growth of the slums in recent years and the underlying causes. There's the problem of investment and low employment prospects especially for unskilled labour plus major issue of affordable housing in the capital. Top that off with the pervasive issue of rural urban migration and the result is what we see today; This is attributable to the economic climate prevalent in the country.

🙏💞

That was beautifully tragic story.❤

Well let me tell you about your country, they’re about to move those people out and put hotels and villas and parks

What help is he giving?

The area in which he shot the video must be shut down .. most of the people there are criminals .. they need no help .. trust me, they are not victims .. it’s deeper than what u see .. I’m all for helping the poor .. this video was shot at an illegal site ! They are destroying the city with pollution which is causing high rate of cancer among the public .. most the people at this illegal sites are not from Accra .. they have homes in their home town - effects of migration !

Dude dont lie u look spanish

@@theCODproduction1 😂😂 totally cracked me up. I’m Ghanaian

Beautiful. Thank you.

That is the most outrageous lie I have ever heard. just because a certain person is nice doesn't mean all Ghanaians are humble or nice. I have met many nice Caucasians, but many Caucasians are the darkest souls on earth, so for most races, everyone has their quirks and ridges

Thank you Michel, too kind.

Are all these comments paid for? Why are they all the same?😂

The guy is going to the slums of Ghana and South Sudan, capturing some fascinating ass shots, interviews, and voices while getting physically threatened more than once. I think thats worth some praise, free of expense ;)

Any develop countries would need this kind of man in their land. Genuine and determined to have a second chance. Peace from Canada

same here. Wish him all the best!

@@raphaeljolicoeur9988 We have enough immigrants, thanks. These countries need their industrious people, how else do you think a country develops? Canada doesn't need him, Ghana needs him.

But your country sure needed him when it came to colonialism and transatlantic slavery. @@Knight_Kin

⁠​⁠​⁠@@Knight_Kinright but when the government isn’t doing anything to help the people they tend to try to get out of that situation. But of course, it doesn’t really affect you so it’s easy to say “just keep them over there” the country isn’t close to developing enough to actually have a decently livable economy. It probably won’t happen his lifetime so does that mean he stays there suffering? But like I said, you’re sitting at home in your AC with your bills paid, so it’s nothing for you to say “we have enough immigrants”. I am also sitting in a room with AC with my bills paid but what makes the difference is actual empathy. Try it out sometime.

There are just as many assholes here as around the world. We’re not different or special. Don’t put people from other countries on some pedestal.

@@edwardgyan9749 This is about Ghana, lil bro. Cry in other videos

This is the poor side of Ghana .. it’s similar to other countries too but trust me some of the people u pity are not victims .. I understand you tho

They are like that because there government abandon them.

@@bartekzub2177 No because most of them are very indiscipline. They should start their hard working by cleaning where they live period

Ha ha. I live in Michigan. Born and raised in Ghana. Got my masters in engineering there and came to US to get my PhD. Stop thinking Ghana or Africa is all about slums, poor people and dysfunctional politics. It isn't. Those are the popular stereotypical versions. The part that frustrates me is that each and every help or pity given by foreigners or foreign governments further delays the govt the Ghanaians elect every 4 years from actually fixing the place. Ghana has number 2 or 3 most expensive real estate market on the continent. And I believe among top 5 stock market capitalization. We are world producer of cocoa gold bauxite manganese and recently crude oil. 30 million population paying huge taxes and revenues to our political elite. But we don't get squat in return. This is what needs to be talked about. Not how poor and "beautiful" we are and all this patronizing garbage. We don't need anyone's largesse or prayers. We need to figure out how to dispose of the vampires parasitizing the people.

I would support that small business.

would you go there at night?

​@@blockaderunner hell no he wouldn't 🤣 he just likes talking about himself in yt comments

Where do u see Happy People?

What else are they supposed to do? Off themselves? When you're at rock bottom the only way is up. There are plenty of people that look for escape in the bottom of a bottle or lose themselves in drugs. At the end of the day though, as positive as you say they all appear, would you go there at night?

I’m homeless in America and I often complain to myself yet I still help any and everybody if I can! When I see videos like this I tell myself it can be worse! But in America I feel like there shouldn’t be homeless people!

You must be White. Ghanaians worship White people.

Try helo one person from Ghana it will go a long way

Agree, I cry after seeing how many kids suffer. While politicians and affluent people sit comfortable in big houses and entertaining girls.

@@harry.flashman That's the congo.

You are right bro. We Ghanaians are calm and kind but our government. Greediness of our leaders is the main cause of our woes. I am happy i left Ghana to Europe a year ago but i can't wait to go back.

@@nanabujukwame4908 Unfortunately the greed is global. Things may initially appear better in Europe, but under the shiny surface lurks centuries of accumulated greed. Until we realize that we are all one people sharing limited resources, these things will never change

@@nanabujukwame4908 Continue blaming and we will stay at the bottom always.

@@Ghanadiaries I know, right. The way some Ghanaians talk you would think the current government is single handedly responsible for the state of the economy. Perhaps if Ghanaians had less disdain for local products and valued rubbish imports from abroad less, the cedi would do better. Also, if I hear another Ghanaian say farming is for poor people, I'll scream.

@@kelugu3776 Don't mind them,I thank God I come from a region where farming is still valued and food is in abundance. The way we've made people believe they are always at the bottom because they live in Africa is something else.

I will love to be your guide anytime you come again

I’d love to know more about the course pertaining to the development of Ghana it self, if you wrote an essay I’d like to read it.

He’s in the slums of Accra, every city has slums, go to some parts of LA and there’s people living in tent’s they call it tent city and most people are on drugs and San Francisco is even worse, Accra is a beautiful city but it’s expensive to live in

@@jarodwilson4946 that was what i was thinking because the gdp per capita is 2000 dollars no way the people are living like this everywhere in the capital

@@jarodwilson4946 this was so misleading for a person who has never visited ghana who will think everywhere in ghana people live like this

@@archanasingh3806 youre misleading yourself to such conclusions. Watch the whole video. He mentions other parts he visited, clearly stating other areas being middle class and upper class. Concluding all of the city poor is your own ignorance.

@@jarodwilson4946 lol in no way san Fransisco worse then africa lmao the nicest place in africa is still a shit hole

What I love about Ghana is the huge fitness center’s you have treadmills on one side with many machines, then you have cycling class and handball courts then a huge CrossFit area then upstairs you have boxing classes and karate classes, Ghanaian love fitness and they have some of the best nightclubs and that explains why they work out so much lol

Well said Mig.

So right ☺️☺️

@@tinadavis7022 what I also like is the huge department store in uptown, it’s bigger then any department store I’ve ever seen, it’s a white youTuber went into the department store and couldn’t believe his eyes, he went into the furniture department and he showed how big it was and it was far as his camera could record and the prices are also Big, and Ghana is building the biggest mall in Africa, with a Olympic size s swimming pool outside and condos and upscale apartments

i work in a bank in the caribbean and i use to think that i feel stagnated. but boi i work and live in paradise compared to this.

That is beautiful Charles, thank you.

Agreed seeing in live time what other humans are experiencing provides unmatched perspective into your own life/style

@@IndigoTraveller You derive fun in showing the worst parts (slums) of Africa that’s why we stopped watching your videos. I only came here to make this comment.

@@IndigoTraveller there is a cheater in comments of this video ..he is speaking by your name and he is saying you are distribute laptops and iPhones

If he had not shown the poverty how would you have commented?

@@channyj784 did you read the comment? It’s not about not showing any poverty at all, that’s ridiculous, but it is about balance. Show the poverty, but show some success too, show some hope, show ambition, show beauty, show the people making Ghana a better place, a lot of the people he interviewed were despondent about the future. When I’m there with my family we see hopeful people working on countless exciting projects to better their communities. E.g. My grandfather funded a hospital/health clinic for his village, there are soooooo many positive stories to tell. These stories are also in abundance. This is why westerners making a beeline to showcase poverty porn is very lazy of them. It’s low-hanging fruit. It’s a *predictably trite* and *uninspired* way to portray these countries. *I fear it’s the only narrative of Africa they wish to promote, and if that’s the case, that’s disappointing. I hope that’s not the case!* It’s because of videos like this that people at my school think countries across Africa are just mud huts and slums when that’s not the case. 😤 I fear it inadvertently ends up fuelling racist views of the continent. *Corrective promotion* is DESPERATELY needed to create a more balanced holistic view. Creators like *Wode Maya* and other black creators - * actually from the continent* - try to fight back against the western narrative with *corrective promotion.* Meanwhile, these white creators continue to push poverty porn with a smile, because the truth is, their audiences are FAR more entertained by despondent African poverty porn than by Africans building better futures for themselves and their countries.🙄

@@nameisamine Well the poverty rate in the western world isn’t bad as Africa’s and Africa is the richest continent in terms of resources. All these poverty is due to bad governance and the world needs to see it. Am a Ghanaian too

@@montannamontanna4408 as a Ghanaian you should know the contribution increased tourism will have on Ghana’s economy. There’s a lot of beauty in Ghana, why not show some of it? Why only show the poverty? That’s strange and very one-sided. My argument is if you want to help these nations they should push the touristic elements too and not just the ‘poverty porn’ that some westerners prefer to push to the forefront because they want shock value . It’s almost as if they treat the poverty as entertainment, like a trip to the zoo to see how the third world live, so they can point in shock and fascination, all before hopping back on an air conditioned 747 to return to their countries to tell the tale. I don’t care for it 🤷🏾 I just hope the other Ghana vlogs don’t choose to focus exclusively on poverty. 🤞

The condition of country should be judged about how the poorest people live. The country can only be described a good if the condition of the poorest is also good, great wealth notwithstanding. Eg, people say the US is a wealthy country, but it turns out that a large proportion of families don't have $400 of savings to handle a emergency. Reality shows and soap operas featuring well off people are not a true measure of reality.

Yes brother we must flee there before it's too late. Right from the 242 King. That's our heritage

@@prooftv1174 real. Africa Soon rise

This part one of 3 or more possibly, he will show the contrast more also but it will be focused on the persisting issues.

He always shows both sides the bad then the good

That’s not life in Accra Ghana that’s life in a slum on the outside of the city, Accra is a huge city with beautiful high rise buildings 5 star hotels and restaurants malls and universities, the city and suburbs are bigger then Chicago and it’s growing everyday, they just finished building a knew suburb called airport city because it’s built around the huge new airport they built a few years ago and it’s really futuristic

@GingerbreadMan Ganga Farmer you can't expect anywhere in the world thats living in poverty to not have bad things going on.

Every Ghanaian I met have been horrible and I met a fair few through work they have zero respect for life. Life comes cheap to Africans.

No, those living in Accra are struggling especially in the slums. Life in the village might seem difficult but no one goes to bed hungry. Ghana is an interesting place,people always complain because they think it's better elsewhere but go there now and see the kind of projects people are putting up.

Excellent observation.

@@paulleckner8235it’s so much opportunity in Accra Ghana, that’s why so many black Americans move there, it’s one of the most popular and most organized places, they don’t allow homeless people all over the city sleeping in tents, so they end up in slums

You missed the part where the leader of the village was with them to quash the begging and risk of kidnapping. You can see hints of begging in the video, they most certainly edited out more from the video.

@@_PatrickO he’s] not in a village he’s in a slum on the outside of Accra Ghana, he had to ask a cab or Uber driver to take him there, they probably told him not to go and many uber drivers probably flat out refused to take him, Accra Ghana is the most popular city in Africa, the comedian, Dave Chapelle moved there last week, it’s a beautiful city with little crime and that makes it a attractive place to move for black Americans , I also plan to move to Accra Ghana

It's edited out. People will beg and ask for money in almost every poor country. If not, its implied and you've got to always give tips. That's not an insult to the people living there, they're in a shit situation.

There are now plenty of vloggers out there that'll show the better sides of the country in contrast to those commercials however we cannot forget that extreme poverty exists or try to hide the reality. Seeing both sides is necessary. 🙏🏾☺️

All that is irrelevant when u have people living like this.

@@Deevine_ I agree but if you go to New York people only shows manathan not the side where gangs live only , when you go to London people only show the richest district not where gangs live and where countless of stabbing happens , if you go to Tokyo people only show the rich part of the country not where people live in cages ,it is important to show both side the rich side and poor side so you have a wider understanding how the country look like ,otherwise people would believe that the whole country is like this when in reality is not even close .

Apparently they’re not too concerned about “climate change”

Yeah, they played so well!

the same situation looks like whole black africa changed 500 years ago for unic lifestyle and those who ruined it, work hard to keep the same socialism is needed

The polluted rivers affect everyone though. Maybe even neighbouring countries. No matter how good some people have it, the poverty situation seems to be getting worse - since the government is ignoring the people.
