CULTURE SHOCK AS A NIGERIAN LIVING IN ACCRA GHANA 

Ghanaian pidgin is sometimes a literal translation of a Ghanaian language especially twi In twi one can express his position in front of a person's gate as I am at your gate's mouth In pidgin it is translated to I dey your gatin moff

Ghana is my second home and I’m super excited to share this content with you all. I hope you enjoyed watching it. Please do not forget to subscribe, like and share🙏

The reason we say please in everything is, you may not know at that moment what the person is going through, we say it to calm the person.

Ghana is peaceful and a lovely place to live and I want to visit again ❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🥰

Regarding the funeral attires, in Ghana families decide the cloth as well. It is just not compulsort everybody must wear that. The black/red is generic. If the person is very old, white is also added in the mix

Thanks for sharing the good stories about ghana 🇬🇭 Ghanaian Please let all appreciate our leaders they are trying for us

for the "please" we cant help it oo, that's how we are all trained from childhood🤣🤣

Ghana does not really have a pidgin culture, it is generally frowned upon. In secondary school we may speak some but the general public does not really speak pidgin. Because it is considered gramtically incorrect and not a language to use if you are "proper"

That's how we were brought up and had become part of us.

I love your videos , they are very intriguing and also your beauty , Chale .......!!!!!!!

The Ghana pidgin is a literal translation form local dialect... Since you are in Ghana ask someone to translate that pidgin you said to twi... And and then you will understand.. If you understand twi, Ga, hausa, ewe... There are general standard words in pidgin spoken but different dialects can add certain words...

Na waao; That's how some of us are in Ghana. But we used to give these extraordinary respects (me pawo ky3w) for our eleders, especially our "Akuapim" tribes🇬🇭🇬🇭

I’m a British Ghanaian. It’s interesting to hear you share your experiences living in Ghana. In regards to pidgin, both Ghanaian and Nigerian Pidgin are similar but it has many differences. The common words I hear that we both use like sabi, dey, dem etc. I listen to a lot of Nigerian music so I understand their pidgin a little bit. Maybe because you haven’t experienced our pidgin so you can’t understand Ghanaian pidgin and you can’t come compare the two.

Ghana pigin English is mostly speak by the secondary and University people...is not a normal street language

Interesting analysis. In London my observation of Nigerians too is that they greet you every five minutes and say well done at every turn. Why???

Great video sis. I’m from London of Ghanaian decent. I.e both my parents are from Ashanti. My wife is Igbo and I just love it that you love Ghana and your honesty about life in Ghana.

In Ghana pidgin is mostly spoken by the youth. Especially in high school and uni

Beautiful video keep it up

I remember coming back to Nigeria from Ghana and I got so use to the please, so I kept using it a lot and someone asked me, what's your name, I added please before saying my name 😂😂 immediately the person said we don't do that here, that was how please left my mouth o

I had to subscribe. I am a Ghanaian and i love your presentation😂😂

Madam you can wear red and black anytime you want, the fact that they are usually mourning of funeral colors does not stopm your. In Ghana id the decease is of an advanced age the funeral colorof choice is white. Wear red and black and you will survive ok.

The new generation has taken this please thing too far. I am older and still dont know how to say please unless l need help with something.

Nice girl. Nice video. Keep it up. Your accent both in English and Twi sounds so Ghananian.

You've really feel and eat Ghana. Feel at home🏠 Ghana is for u

I enjoyed every bit of this video

That's genuine analysis!!! My sister, good work

I miss you, its been a long time

Interesting...

Hope you are doing well

I love this your video and I love watching , you a very beautiful lady and I wish I am young to your age

But most at times close relatives are the ones who usually wear red, friends and other sympathizers will come in black or mixed black and white cloth if he/she is elderly, But Cloths families choose for funeral are usually black and white, and for one week celebrations it’s pure red and black👌🏼

Another point we also wear black and white cloth for funeral. if the deceased was advanced in age.. Again in some tribes if a family loses a child for the first time, the mother wears black and white while all the other mourners wear the red, brown or red cloth.

Don't say that, Ghana pigin is difficult just because people in Ghana don't like to use as much as Nigeria use their pigin. Ghana has an Akan language which takes about the 70% of the

This question is difficult to answer ooo 😂😂😂

MY SISTER THE PROFESSIONAL FUFU EATER. I LOVE THAT. ❤❤❤❤❤

Funeral regalia is a specific for ethnic groups. Black is generally adorn in times of mourning. But at the funeral itself putting on black is much more common with the Akan ethnic groups. People from the Volta region and the Northern part of Ghana chooses any fabric for funeral

I'm up for the pidgin challenge oo!🕺🏾💃🏾 Bring it on!

It brings peace

Nice video... But some of your country people do say that the Steady Light in Ghana is just an online hyping and not as real as we always brag about it..🤣🤣 please enlighten them on it.. I no no if its envy or what... And.. why do they still say.. Nigeria gives light to Ghana.. 😂🤣🤣... l wish you could bring more about this light issue..

Very insightful and very informative 😊

Pidjin mostly spoken by the literates, those who have some form of education

I only heard about pidgin English for the first time when Ghanaians were repatriated from Nigeria. We are not able to speak like the Nigerians because we had to learn through the returnees.

so in Ghana the funeral cloth is mostly determined by the family of the deceased. but i general black is worn when the dead was quiet young or still had a lot of life to live .. or was a great shock to everyone or was sudden... and black with red patches or bands will mostly mean the persons death was suspicious / foul play or lacks understanding ... white is worn if person is older like 70 + or lived an exemplary life . mostly its not even a funeral but a celebration of life. hope this helps

Your introduction left me in pieces 😅😅😅

Ur English look like Ghanaian to me keep it up thanks

No is not to say pls to be respectful We inculcate it in our life culturally as signs of humility humbleness and respect

Nigerians are well integrated in the nation you know.😊

To understand Ghanaian pidgin .. you need to understand Ga and twi language.

welcome to Ghana

Most Nigerians are fair. Which tribe is most common with fair people 😊

I have one question, why is it that most Nigerian like comparing Ghana and not other west African countries. We are just a small country.

I’m definitely up for the pidgin challenge 😊

Please is a sign of respect

Impressed by your beauty ❤

You are so beautiful and clean looking lady

If you enter I crush you 😅😅😅😅 bombastic side eye

Nigeria not only rain,Napa will give you headche😅😅😅😅😅

Don't try Nigeria road even danfo they don't even stop for traffic

So regarding the pidgin! The ghanaian pidgin is kinda a direct translation of our twi or fanti language( l mean most our pidgin words) so like the example that u gave regarding 'mouth' The direct translation of mouth in twi/fanti is 'Ano' which means mouth and it also mean 'Front' So front and mouth have the same meaning! The difference is the context in which they are used! So e dey my gate e mouth(front) in pidgin english, is = saying he's standing at the front my gate! So u don't understand twi/fante, our pidgin will not make sense or meaning to you!

my dear sister the ecg number feel free call it cos we all call it after 30mins of light off😂😂😂

You have a beautiful skin tone

Befe not sure if Uve been informed but over 80 yo funeral it’s usually white/ black

Don't mess up with our cultural values like being polite and our funerals outdooring ect.

You're very beautiful, i like your colour and your hair .

Beautiful sister love you always

Ghana pigin is mixed up with Twi that's why it difficult to speak. Good delivery keep it up

Please is a form of respect

The saying of "please" , hmm, we've been saying it from childhood so it's just part of us. There is a group of akans in Ghana called the 'Akuapem's, when they are insulting u, they sometimes prefix the insult with please 😂. Eg, "mepawakywe wo yɛ abea" which translates as, pls you are an animal😂

My sister you make me laugh. Yes Ghana has small-boy-thunder and Nigeria has super- monster-thunder

Ghanaian accent is entering you now o😂❤

My sister try and come to Nima one day

You are very interesting ❤

Its amazing when you Nigerians talk about our uninterrupted light in Ghana, Nigerians are really suffering in their country oooo!!..

I love you already 😂😂😂

Visit the Volta Region part of Ghana You will love it 😉 here Ghanaian pidgin is just pure dictionary English language with some few slangs incorporated into it If u can't speak good and fluent English 😂 I'm sorry your pidgin English will sound trash 🗑️😂😂 💔

In Nigeria we call it Ankra or party clothes

You very entertaining 😂😂

What do you mean by I don't go in Nigeria pilgin English that literally means I am not going but it means in Nigeria as I am going. How can Ghanaian understand that.

I'm in love with you seriously but I am broke, please what should I do to for you to love me back?

When the diseased is about 70 some families make people wear white but the black will always be present. So mostly white and black

Am from United Arab Emirates can I visit Ghana and be safe?

I remember the shock on Steve Harvey’s face when a Ghanaian family came on his Family Feud show. And he asked one of them if he’s married and he the guy answered by saying "No Please" 😂😂😂

Actually Ghanaians don't have Pidingin,we form our own Pidingin ooh.

Please u guys stop painting Nigeria black it's a great nation,I love Nigeria.

Ghanaian pidgin is not easily spoken since it's not encouraged in schools. You start dey hear pidgin for secondary schools and even that when found you go be penalized. I start dey speak pidgin the time I go Uni and one must also be well versed in the English language b4 he or she go fit speak. Wanna pidgin dey sweet pass 😂😅

Are you taken or still on the market? Drop me a line sweetheart.
