Problems that you’ll be facing while living in Ghana 

First here

The house owners should team up and construct the roads.

In Rwanda we raise 30% among us the community ,then the government comes in with the remaining 70% to build the neighborhood roads.

Being able to get a truck and start a trash pickup company would not be a bad thing, I suggested same to my lil bro to start doing that where I built my house in a newly constructed neighborhood, he slept on it and before he realized another person supplied them including my bro with trash cans and started picking trash up for a fee ,he’d always regretted not doing that, that dude started with a truck and now owns multiple trucks with a number of employees

People who haven’t travelled don’t realize that all over Mexico, Central and South America… people build concrete walls for security. Also, in the Middle East and Africa. I lived and worked in Kuwait and Qatar and the Arabs always build walls to protect and provide privacy for the members (especially their women) of the family. They don’t expect any police to protect their family and property. It’s your responsibility to provide protection. Build a Wall!!

It's a nice neighborhood; all it needs is good roads, and beautification. The neighbors need to plant some nice trees and flowers 🌹🌷. When I visited Rwanda, I was surprised how clean and beautiful the place looked. It's indeed a beautiful country. But, my heart is in Ghana. It's my maternal ancestral land.

Ghana and Gambia need to talk to Rwanda about how they run their monthly clean up program. The trash and rubbish in these places is unacceptable. The markets are filthy too. It doesn’t make any sense!

The government of Ghana should make it mandatory for builders to contribute to the ROAD

I love your neighborhood. Yes I do love country living. I must visit Ghana. I would love to live in that neighborhood. Right now I am stuck in Chicago. But I am working on it. Thanks for the tour

Even though the roads are dirt I’d rather live in your neighborhood than any neighborhood in America.

King you know in the west they don't hesitate throwing trash out the window, something I hate to see. You can definitely be a pioneer for keeping your neighborhood clean. You have a great idea in getting with your neighbors to start fixing the road and putting out trash containers or even coordinate a neighborhood clean up day. You can do it King. The neighborhood has lovely homes.

Perfect video hands down. You show the actual true side of Ghana and the time on day is perfect also.

I’m on my way. Just gave a two year notice at my job. I’m coming to visit next summer plans are in the works now. Hope to see you there. 👋🏾😀👍🏾

I’m so glad I found your Chanel . You’ve given me so much inspiration. I don’t think people realize how great of an accomplishment you’ve made! Keep up the good work # We belong in Africa 💪🏾🙏🏾

Leading by example Each one teach one

That skyline is beautiful ❤

This is beautiful to me, even the dirt roads🙂 When I get to Ghana, I will walk bare foot and get the dirt on my feet.😀 and, here where I live in Upper Darby, Pa, there is way more trash on the ground and blowing around. There are trash cans, but, people are too lazy to use them.

Yeah, one of the hardest things to deal with here in Ghana is the trash in many(didn’t say all)places, including the beach I just came from. Wish that they’ll get it together soon.

Keep in coming brother....THIS IS THE BEST ONE YET...I appreciate giving a view and a feel for the neighborhood, the views , very layback community

Thank you for the walk through. Beautiful!

Will be there soon! It looks so serene and gorgeous out there. Ah Ghana😘

It takes 10 men to put a road down Buy some asphalt Rent a truck or too Get some beer Put it down in one weekend

Excellent video. Thank you 🙌🏽

Hey, brother! I was born and raised in Houston too. Good to see you living the dream. We love your channel.

when you interact with people and connect to them like that, it helps your mental health and you feel great inside out, since I have been living in usa it is like I am not living good life like in Africa where everyone greets each other and interact well

Thank you for this! I know that I would have difficulty if there’s only dirt, and no greenery. But seeing how lush some areas are, is encouraging! I can see the need for ditches, to direct the rainwater, so that it has the best impact for everyone. Thanks again for sharing this information. I’m gonna get there, one day!

Thanks for this video, It’s good to show the both sides of a country so people knows all the good side and bad side as well. Some RU-vidrs only show the good sides but as an African we know.

Thank you for your content. Very interesting. Keep posting, your style is unique. 😊

Beautiful neighborhood! The road improvements will come. And that sun shining majestically over The Motherland, stunning 🤩 Proud of you brother!

Yep im coming with my rain boots!😂 Thank you for the heads up.

Wow love your area and houses.

I love the greeting, I'm southern. I love the material use to build the houses - more sturdy, I'm assuming better quality tools . It's like living in the country .

The community need together and pitch in to fund the roads your selves. That’s what we have to do to my community because you’ll be waiting for ever for the local government to do it!

Thanks so much for sharing

Ayekoo bro. I am so proud of you. Keep up the good works.

It’s looks so beautiful and peaceful there

The homes look very well made. The best part is the wrap around security walls.

❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤THANKS FOR SHARING THIS INFORMATION WITH ME ABOUT GHANA...I STILL LOVE AFRICA...ANYWAY...SMILE......

Wow ! Wow ! The houses looks amazing nice , nice , ( lol, lol, 😂 the roads the road needs help bad bad ) ❤️ 👍

Great video and a beautiful neighborhood asks all the neighbors to chip in and build a road

I enjoyed! It's great that you take actions to improve the community and have plans to do more. Thanks for sharing.

Cool place 😊 all what matters is peace.

Ok, Huntsville. Peace brother..I am watching you in B-CS right now. Prayerfully we'll be there in 3 weeks. It seems to be alot of us Texans in Ghana. Houston is getting crazy. To many people are migrating from the other states here. It's not the same.

Thanks for showing the truth! I would take those dirt roads instead of this urban jungle in America any day!

You will face every problem, trust me I know. Unimaginable ones too

Watching from Houston Texas

The houses look well constructed. Those roads could use a serious rototiller and blacktop.

This is not only Ghana, all the African countries are lacked of good roads because the African leaders lived in the cities. They don't care about the rural areas in their countries therefore, they never pave the roads. If those roads have to be fix the community in those areas have to be the ones.

Thanks!

Nice man keeping it positive.

From Canada with hava. This reminds me of a lot of places in Jamaica. I am ready to go back home to The Promised Land aka Africa Isaiah 14 and 60. HalleluYAH and Baruch.

That sunset is beautiful!

Thanks for sharing...

Wouldn't be hard adjust especially if improvements are going to made, this could be really really nice

You guys have to have a community meeting and come together and fix the road.Get some marl and get the roller press it.

Look at that sun so bright ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I went to Gambia and I loved the dirt roads even though they needed work.

Another problem is the cutting down of trees when houses are built without replanting . This is what causes a lot of flooding with normal rainfall .Floods happen in the US but its usually a flash flood or a hurricane / tornado . In Nigeria and in Ghana flooding happens in a normal rainfall!!

Beautiful homes, ruff roads, but still doable! ❤❤❤❤ You have a gorgeous house and neighborhood! The beauty of and watching the little ones walk through with no worries of harassment. I absolutely love it!!!!!!!! Question: The alleged abandoned buildings…. Is it that people ran out of money, moved away or just changed their minds…and if so, have they put their places/land up for sale? Much gratitude if you’re able to respond

ALL PRAISE TO THE MOST HIGHEST OF THE HIGH ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF ALL IN ALL

To be honest it’s not as developed the USA but not gonna lie it seems so peaceful!!! At this point if I had a remote job I would move here

nice thx for sharing

Beautiful ❤️

Homeowners association team up and give what you can

It depends on where your house is at. My house is in a well developed estate with a golf course, a hospital and two private schools. The services are well developed hence very expensive. I bought an existing house for over $200,000 which is now very cheap as properties have really gone up in value. I would have preferred building my own under my own specs but I could not cope with the hussle. Often the land is sold to multiple buyers and you may find yourself in court trying to establish ownership and paying a lot of bribes to do so. You could be paying money into the drain if you don't find the right construction crew, especially if you live abroad during the construction.

Bless 🌟👑❤️

One of the thing I remember from a month-long visit to Germany a few years ago was how I was able to find some really, really good deals on food at the grocery story. Usually it was stuff that simply had to be sold that day or thrown away, and it was marked down considerably. If you wanted to, you could simply walk to the grocery store every day, buy whatever was on sale, and just make a day's worth of meals out of that. There's just not an equivalent system where I live in the US. Grocers would rather throw food away than to heavily discount it.

I love the houses but those roads, my goodness!

You must need a good 4 wheel drive for those roads, especially when it rains.

How nice but you forgot to turn off your ice-cream truck music 🎶 🎶 but it was ok i turned down the sound & enjoyed watching the sites anyway. Thanks for a Great video.

Ghana adopted international building codes over the course of 2017/18 in an effort to standardize their buidling codes. There are also municpal codes. However, Ghanaians are willful people and there's a lack of enforcement. Those houses are required to have uniform setbacks for utilities, sidewalks, roads. Big man syndrome keeps the infrastructure development inconsistent and shoddy.

Looks very nice

Thanks for the vid. Looks beautiful and peaceful! Are solar panels a thing there? Also, do most homeowners have 4x4 trucks to handle the roads?

Nice video

The title of this video should be "Prioritize paving your section of the road". Once that becomes the trend or status quo the problem will take care of itself.

I would build my Home in this area ..The bad roads are not really an issues a lot of towns the residents form a Neighborhood watch open an account with a reputable financial institution and contribute . Notice there’s no street lights the same would be do to solve that issue too however it would be Solar’s.. there will have to be the creation of tunnel for water when it rains to prevent flooding there could be a few Man made ponds that will collect the water that will be used for irrigation by farmers.. I have been contemplating weather to purchase a property in Ghana ,Tanzania or Niger. I have been doing my research however I am making plans to visit the continent next year March or earlier..loads of thanks for this upload.

I love it, thanks for sharing~ What about putting down gravel in front of your beautiful home, while waiting on the govt to pave the roads~ I'm a Georgia Peach 🙃 🍑 in Atlanta~ My parents are from the country, Sparta Ga. Throughout childhood we spent every summer in the country. What I loved about the dirt roads there at that time, before they paved them was how they smelled when it rained. That fresh awesome smell is only in the country. And the tin roofs, the best sleep. ❤️ Those were some of the best years of my life. 🤗 I've been to Ghana, I'm conflicted between Ghana & Rwanda where I now want to spend 6 months a year, every year!. 🖤🖤

I see a lot of chickens running around , lol 😂 lol ! Looks very calm there , 👍

Gravel road is good. I live in the country in the US and we have a gravel road. It’s more natural. I love your video.

Thank you for this video. Where are the snakes and the street lights? Do you walk around at night too? I am in Houston now. Wow

The reason people ask that question about the bars and fences and you already know the answer, because most houses in the U.S don’t have those bars and fences.

Hello. It looks like a great area. Do you think it would be affordable to add gravel to the problem areas or the whole road to prevent problems?

i also live in Ghana.... remember its a Developing country....when we come we should be helping it to become a developed country..... so if these are problems ...we have to help fight them. why else are we here?

One thing you all moving to Africa stay and get use to the people or the culture then you can change it okay God bless you

I am a Nigerian and I just moved to Ghana. My area is soo fine . I live Just right to the mountains in Accra.

Couldn't tell at 6:25 was that a House or Apartment. Nice either way but Renting "Rooms" Where i have My Home in the states that Usually ends up not a good thing!!

Thanks for the distinct video. What area is the location, please?

Best thing to do to construct good roads in the neighbouring is to team up/once you have built your hse you should be able to contribute for the roads and the gutters before the government will step in. Any house who do not pay up for the contribution should not be allowed to pass through. That was what we saw years ago at Asylum Down/Adabraka/Farrar Avenue and the Off Farrar Avenue. 1956/1960 upwards professionals/business women's name it Indians/Syrians/Greeks every nationality and PWD took over to give us nice roads. Pipes in every house. Hence today.

Wow...just look at that sunset...would you mind sharing where you are in Ghana? I will be there as soon as I finish my business there, in about a year....thanks for sharing.

I like rural areas life is cheaper ,nokuhloniphana emphakathini nongokuphila ngaphansi kwe cultures ❤

The community should come together and clean up the community

If a developed community, the developers should have put in finished roads. Goverment is responsible for public streets, roads and highways. At least thats how it works in the US.

Where in Ghana is this place? I am from Jamaica i could easily adjust. Nothing new to me. I love the area. Give me some fruit trees, sugar cane, i would be right at home.

Brother it is not a problem, just an adjustment

I wish ghana's zoning was done better the house wall across the street is really close and very small narrow roads. And no side walks.

The roads were only demarcated by the surveyors it's up to the private developers to complete it to their standard but if you make it as a community project the government will come in to support with gadgets and human resources. Go to your District Assembly see the director or your Assembly man for advice.

Where is this area because we are looking to build a one-story house in the East Legon area or any area 15-20 minutes from the airport

Can you form a co-op to have the community share in building good roads at least for your neighborhood

I am considering moving to Ghana and was wondering if when buying a home does that include the land as well?

This is the reality.
