We came to Ghana for the first time and almost went to jail 

Yes it takes a special person to be able to walk away from your comfort zone and experience something new.

I DON'T RECOMMEND coming to africa, it's literaelly the most corrupt place you will most likely regret it. african people sometimes are scammers and mean

Thanks for watching. Due to the circumstances I think it was handled well also.

Well said ❤

herregalness How can you get upset at a driver and refuse to pay them for what time of day it is? Was it the drivers job to drive them to the location or make sure the sun was up? All the other stuff they were saying about being a man didnt make sense and had nothing to do with anything. Seems like a petty reaction and i hope more people don't act like him. It can only lead to more conflicts or locals refusing to pick up black american due to bad reputation for not wanting to pay. Maybe i missed something but if i got the story right then no they didn't handle themselves well

AMEN 🙏 😇

Refusing to pay a driver and other workers what amounts to cents and dollars in america because you're upset or your because of your ego does not amount to 'wisdom'.

❤️

Thanks for watching. Don’t forget we still need to link up and create some content together.

Thanks 😊 that’s my most favorite part of each video lol

Thanks for watching. I hope you have subscribed 🥹

Thanks for watching 🎥

Oh my God I couldn’t have said it better myself. Ghana is definitely a networking country. You must have mutual relationships with different people. This comment is spot on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

they only arrived a week and it's sad we make excuses! They'll network but just a week in, and the entitled locals need to chill!

I wish the man in pink will understand that. If you have dollars in Ghana enjoy the privilege and stop trying to be alpha. You can pay that driver to come wash your clothes and sweep your house for you, what more is alpha than that? Use your money to network and get things done. It’s just embarrassing that an American is fighting with a local over $48 😅….$48 is chipotle order for 2 ppl in California but that’s the drivers full day wages….i have American uncles who argue and want to get into a fight over $1 in Ghana and it irritates me so much. It has nothing to do with the money but just wanting to alpha just to be 😂….alpha to me is ability to be calm and move shrewdly with prudence.

It is bribery some people call it scam

@@islyrevans295 is taxation a scam? Respect systems in place and use it for your advantage. A “no system “ is still a system ppl are operating in.

You are right there is multiple places you can get what you are looking for so walking away only makes them loose what could have been a valued customer. Yes we are one. Thanks for your input and your kind words..

@@webelonginafrica44 yes sir they loose a valued customer and the referrals we would send their way!

💯.....

Yes they made him sweat a little but little did he know they was going to get him squared away. lol

thehouseofstrength It's a give and take. Some people just want to take but not give. It's another person's country, you don't go there and make the rules. And if you want to do things differently at least do something that makes sense, but it seems like they were upset at a driver because the sun was down when they go to their destination. I don't know how that's the drivers fault unless he took a bad route that made their trip 3, 5 hours longer. Even then that's not really their problem. You gotta leave at a good time to get to a place at a time you want to be there. But he was mad at the driver

@@blackblaze5271 I believe you, should have could have would have is too late! Better luck if you believe in that think of leaving at a very good time. Chances are greater but the results may be similar! The different culture dynamics are real, again take our sense oppose their sense makes no common sense without respect and resolving small issues with humility. I learn one way to accomplish is through working together and sharing knowledge and understanding with each other! I have three families here and counting in Ghana all through power networking and connections! Believe me you need the people to get everything you need so to some solid degree we need to communicate on higher levels to break through! It’s their country, akwaba!

You going too far, Africans are not mistreating African-Americans. Ghanaians will up-charge their fellow Ghanaians when selling, if they find out your clothes are new/nice and smelling good(cologne/spray). There is nothing such as fixed price in Ghana but price is made up upon request, that’s just how the system is. So if you are local and you speaking English to seller, it means you are educated and will be charged higher. Trust me, the market women are not that sophisticated to even know the difference between a rich Ghanaians and a AA. They see both as the same, someone who is rich and needs to be charged more………..Culturally in Ghana, rich ppl actually see that as a flex to be charged more in society, meaning they are perceived as successful. As an American in Ghana , honestly products are so cheap it’s not even worth going back and forth arguing about price. $48 for a drivers *FULL DAY* wages is not something an American should even be arguing about in Ghana, honestly. Just pay them and get a new driver.

Get out of high horses, no African is mistreating African American. The price gauge is done to everyone the locals feel well off. They change the prices. I am victim even I was born on the continent. As soon as they see they way you dress or talk they switch. It is up to you to negotiate or walk away. It is not personal. In case of these guys they have rendered them a service for 16 hours for 48 $ and still they are arguing about it.

@@fabriceassima4094 it’s embarrassing that these guys are arguing over $48 which is a local driver’s full day wages. Just pay the locals and move. Why even get the police involved?

@@Ahoto_papa_bi 💯💯

@@fabriceassima4094 Get out of high horses??? You arrived at that response off of my statement I assure you I’m not on any high horse. If you were in our situation, you may have similar feelings maybe not. I’ve heard many people from Africa say this is wrong at times with more communication and understanding A lot of these cultural differences can be resolved and understood, saying unnecessary painful words to one another without really understanding what you are saying isn’t the way to handle differences but I hear you, Noted!!!

You are correct 👍🏾

Oh ok nice so you guys are here already?

@@webelonginafrica44 no we will be there in June.

@@heathergordon8134 oh ok great

@@heathergordon8134 to let you know from the gate Kumasi is what called a crowed aka choked city no doubt beautiful on the outskirts but the traffic is worst than any busy state I know. Mainly because of road congestion but still outside of that a bustling town.

Oh I’d have to disagree on that part because Accra traffic can’t get any worse. Kumasi can get traffic during school rush or when people are getting off of work. I guess if you Re going to Kejetia it can get bad but nothing compares to the stand still traffic in Accra hands down lol but I’m on the outskirts and it’s smooth sailing ⛵️ lol

Perfectly said

SMH...so you are saying that because he is a black American that he should accept being scammed or cheated in Ghana.🤣 This is why so many people are forced to leave Ghana and return home to their countries. Some people go to Ghana with their life savings and are being cheated and scammed out of a life in Ghana. The man did rent the car for the whole day (24 hours) for $48... correct??? He was only asking to be treated fairly. Most young black Americans DO NOT make $48 in 1-2 hours and even if they do, they still have their own bills to pay in the US and the cost of living here is expensive af. Cheating black Americans seems to be the normal in Ghana...so I've seen and heard. What makes that right? Then, for you to suggest that a whole family could come and fight the man over his not accepting to be cheated..that's just pitiful. You are starting something deep because I'm sure his family, here in the US can also retailate on Africans whether in Ghana or the US. How about black people EVERYWHERE stop cheating each other. 🤔 Right is right and wrong is wrong no matter where you live.

Let's also say that they do this to everyone who they perceived is rich enough to pay....... whether you're rich Gh, expat Gh, Nigerian, SA or Af Am.

😂😂😂😂😂

nice to see my brothers doing something great!!! instead of fighting each other, they're loving each other like they are supposed to...Sticking together!!! Good for you Brother that you OWN something!!!

@@jayajaya788 Being Yisrael it’s our time to leave the states! Actually we have to do what we can with what we get from all our hard labors. Ghana is a peaceful place but it’s still not home yet, we’re only guests and it’s the Ghanaians! But it does beat having to deal with what we are use to in the states! Just don’t forget the Atlantic slave trade that mentally of greed still exist and they sell you quicker than a heart beat

Thank you. Finally someone with some sense. Only people who should expect to pay local price are locals living working in GH earning Gh wages. Arguing over 10 cedis vs 5 cedis is 🗣️🤬😓🤔 if that's the case just sit your butt down and stay in USA, cos you arguing over 5-10 cedis ($0.50-1.00) for stuff you prolly pay $$$ in US. Continuing with this attitude is gonna make things difficult. Market economics happens everywhere, US included esp if prices are not disclosed/advertised up front. Most places of world if you perceived as rich/a lot above avg you will pay more that's just facts. It's not scamming, it's simple market economics. You can afford to pay more than avg/local they charge you more. Same way prices in big cities trend to be higher than rural towns.

😂

An American arguing with a local about $48 for the locals’s full days wages, really? $48 for a FULL DAY wages. Just pay the local and let them go, that $48 won’t hurt you but to the local, $48 is everything, that’s why they willing to report to police. He can get his whole family to leave work to come fight you for $48, it’s not even worth grudging with locals over $48.
