Apologies about the loud waves at the start of the video. I didn’t realize until I started editing. If that part is an issue for u you can skip to 7:00 🙏🏾❤️
There's so much to explore in Ghana. The food, the cultures, the traditional architecture, traditional attires, the savanna region biome, the rainforests, the pretty women. 😘👍 Ghana has a lot to offer to tourists and/or immigrants.
I keep leaving seeds in the hopes someone will get inspired. We should have an annual carnival where all the various cultures of Ghana come together to show music, fashion, food and creativity are celebrated together.
The thing is in Africa/Ghana we live open life whereas in the west they live close life, that's why in Africa/Ghana you get help from anybody expecially if you are woman/single.
It may not stay so forever. The west too were open like us until they 'developed'. As we develop, we may become like them, especially if we don't consciously protect our 'openness'
Jasmine I watched a VLOG about living longer and the vlogger interviewed people around the world living into late 90 and 100’s. One component mentioned was community to combat loneliness. I’m moving to Ghana in January and I was concerned about making friends in my 70’s. Your video addressed this concern right away. Thank you. I’m a writer and RU-vidr so I won’t be idil, thanks hopefully we can meet next year. My name: Professor Wize
If I move there, what language other than English should I learn. It is important to learn to speak the native language even if they made an occupied language their official language.
Sorry Jasmine I don’t think Ghanaians turn up late to board a flight so I will say if they turn up late to an appointment that is pure disrespectfulness. Also that laid back attitude to work is why nothing progresses in Ghana.. in any case thank you for videos which we always enjoy watching
I have shared your videos along with other tubers about Ghana with my co-workers. I am surprised at the amount of them who are researching the prices of flights and hotels who want to visit and possibly relocate there. They are surprised at the beauty, and the warmth of the Ghanaian people. My wife met a young man at her church today who's family is Ghanaian, and his mother is there on vacation. We look forward to chatting with this family as we prepare to relocate to Ghana. Jasmine, your videos are very informative and provides lots of answer to questions that one may have about Ghana. You have definitely turned us on to Ghana and we look forward to making her our future home. Keep up the good work because you are making a difference in the lives of others around the globe. One Love!❤
i am originally from ethiopia live in the US watching you make me want to just pack up and go to Ethiopia but it's not open like Ghana so might have to move to Ghana
I think this is such a great summary of the experiences I've had. I'm here on my 2nd trip to Ghana, and my mind is planning on how to transition my life here. But these are very good reasons and a breakdown that a Diasporan can relate to.
I think we somehow managed to have brought the not-on-time thing across to the Caribbean with us, we call it "Island-Time" always about an half hour late. We will be there in a few minutes or will be over soon doesn't really mean what it says...LOL
In Ghana it's called GMT..........Ghana Maybe Time. Like say, 10AM GMT appointment. The Average Ghanaian would arrive 1 hour late or not at all. A play on Greenwich Mean Time.
That's true. I'm from the Caribbean living in the USA. A lot of what she says such as the men willingly extending help to a woman especially if you're single without ulterior motive is also true in the Caribbean. I'm planning to visit Ghana soon. From what I've learned from your videos, it seems to be very much like home. Thanks for the videos.
Looking gorgeous Jasmine. Thank you for your content. Am currently in Ghana and embracing everything. The only thing I can't deal with it presently is the rainy weather 🙈.
@@JasmineAmaaI love the cooler breeze it breaks. The downside aspect is how slow things can be with business but heey we can't have it all so I keep my mouth shut 🙈🙈
@@berthaacquah3598the problem with Ghanaians is we don't rush in life as there's no hurry in life, the west created this hurry hurry culture to do business and get stressed out and die quickly and everything goes back to the government why rushing when the world will always be there just as we came to meet it,even after death😢 it will still be there😊 so we don't rush to do things and that's why there's no stress in Africa 🌍 ❤😂
Thanks for posting!... This video is very, very informative, and needed for all of us who are planning to travel and relocate to Ghana. Once again, thanks.
I love to Ghana 🇬🇭 last year October 2022 to February 2023 and I coming back August 2023❤❤❤ I hope we meet up this time babe ❤ Yes here in America 🇺🇸 too this so true I truly agree I had my car tire 🛞 blow out and on the highway in Chicago and no many didn’t stop and help and I had to pay $300 for tow truck 🛻 I didn’t know to put on my spare tires 🛞
#1 seems to state that the "bad bitch" "super woman" persona can be retired. I've never thought it was good for women anyway. Community cohesion is also a wonderful throw back kind of idea. When people used to look out for each other... that's nice.
Work-life balance seems to be how life is like in Ghana, I had a small glimpse while I was there for my short visit. Looking forward to going back in the future... I could say it is the same for many countries in Africa. I live between Cameroon and England and Cameroon sounds like Ghana where life is really different and slow paced.... 💞
Can you repeat that, please🙏🏿,... I was totally distracted by your outfit😊 Seriously, I love this video. I grow up in an African American community that was one big family
Wonderful perspectives and very important to present the many positives of Ghana and Ghanaian cultures. Let's just not forget that there are also profound negatives depending on your perspective. Good for those planning to relocate to have a very balanced view to avoid misleading them. Many have relocated only to leave a few months, years later due to a range of very serious reasons.
Yes definitely, i share all experiences i have had here in Ghana. Its definitely not one sided. Its just that in this particular video i am sharing positives of my experience 🥰
The high cost of living, especially for Accra/tema is a major reason people pack up and leave. International students are suffering same fate. We should work on this. We want more people, from diverse backgrounds to have some Ghana experience. We should cut down on the greed especially in the real estate sector, we should remove some taxes from fuel to make it cheaper, we should reduce duty at the ports, ECG should collect more of their bills and reduce the high tariffs they charge, we should produce more food etc etc
Ghana is not a one stop country for everything and everybody, but it is a country that offers a lot of peace, prosperity, culture, community and love. People would come and some would go for many personal reasons but so it is for every country in the world. People have different needs and expectations. Not all can be met by Ghana. But for the many whose needs and expectations matches that of Ghana, it is one the best places to live on earth.
First that red outfit looks fantastic on ya😉😉😉. Ghanaians definitely play too much with time. I can see you put a lot of effort in your videos so I just wanted to say thanks👌🏿👏🏿👍🏿🙏🏿
I’m sorry out of topic,you look amazing!!, how do you keep your body in shape? Because everytime I go back home, I always put on weight 😫. Thank you so much for your videos Jasmine. I miss home so much xx
All that you said is right but one important aspect that is killing us is poor conditions of work in respect to income and standard of living where most people are struggling. A good case here is how we hear news about nurses leaving Ghana to UK to enjoy good salary and income. These are things that need to be changed although we in hard economic times. That is why most people leave Ghana to oversees to to better their income.
You know the beautiful thing about Jasmine is that you’re so positive! Mehn! There’s absolutely nothing Jasmine wants to tell you that she’s not going to leave you with some sort positivity. For instance, talking about the lateness, when I lived in Accra, being a Nigerian I had a problem with the laidbackness of Ghanaians. Omg! I’m always like, can you take life a little more seriously 😂 but I’m met with oh kakra kakra ohemaa 😂. It used to annoy me so much that at first I didn’t see the patience lesson it was teaching me. I’m back to living in Nigeria now and I’d have people ask me why are you slow? 😂 and guess what? I’m almost always late for everything now 😂.
The social life in Ghana is great, u meet more people and make more friends....however, u must be mentally alert because poverty there has turned lots of people into thieves and scammers, who will find ways to take all ur money and resources from u. The systems there only works 25% due to serious levels of corruption., i hope it gets better........
Our way life is by tradition and culture which different as go round the country every tribe have its own culture and traditional way of life this makes us feel proud of our culture and traditional way of if you are foreigner and just arrived in GHANA 🇬🇭 you can see for yourself how leave. At the end we leave under one UMBRELLA ☔ with our HIGH SENS OF HOSPITALITY. THE WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL AND THE MEN ARE HANDSOME 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ghanaians and Africans in general are chill people…. It’s a good thing ❤😊😂 ! I see it as relaxed ! Here in the US and other places people might tend be in a hurry so much , which leads to different attitudes mostly not well
But...the timelines issue, (which is part of a larger issue of lack of accountability,) IS a major issue in Ghana's development. Ghana's development will continue to be anemic until it's resolved. Ghanaians don't need have a slavish devotion to timeless like the West. Just basic respect for it tho.
I am a white American and my boyfriend is a native of Ghana who grew up in the UK. He has lived in the US his whole adult life but has visited Ghana throughout that time. I am planning on visiting Ghana in 2024 and we are planning on moving to Ghana no later than 2026. The color of one's skin in the US unfortunately changes how one is treated. Would me being white change my experience in Ghana?
@@JasmineAmaa Thank you for taking the time to reply. I'm so looking forward to beginning this next chapter of my life! I love your videos and plan on trying my hand at cooking the dishes you have featured. I wish you much continued success!
Your video about tourism in Ghana is amazing and nice, but one has to be realistic about the country when talking about coming to stay permanently in Ghana, studies show the development of new infrastructure is not in line with the rate of people moving into Ghana to stay. I am not talking about the tourist who comes in for a few weeks to a couple of months to enjoyed the Ghanaian hospitality, that's all well and good. Just we all have to be careful not to go over board, you just looked great Ghana Ba.
Looks like you bumped into the wrong people with time and punctuality issues, etc. You never use that to paint and portray a general picture. You need to correct that impression. That is not akin to Ghanaians alone. I’ve experienced lots of people in the West with the challenge of time and other vices as well. I recommend you take your time, live in the right environment culturally long enough, so you can get the right and appropriate photographs to make your presentations valid enough.
Jasmine you really shouldn't encourage people to come to Ghana. I visited and decided not to stay after a month. Constant power cuts and constant water lock offs. When the power goes, the mosquitoes are after you because you can no longer blast them with a fan or AC. Water lock offs means fetching water in buckets to flush and bath. Hard mattresses that feels like you're sleeping on cardboard, seems to be the preferred choice of landlords because they last long. Terrible roads, ridiculous traffic jams caused by selfishness with no one willing to give way. That the people are friendly and warm is a big positive but it doesn't mean you're not going to be hustled. If you don't speak the language...you're obroni and that's unfortunate. Finally, the government prefers you to only visit as a tourist and leave after 2 months. Don't be fooled that your presence is more valued than your money.
i have a question, I've been tu kenya twice, but i wanna see west afrika as well, do i need a ID tu get a cellphone sim card and cellular service? is this true?
this video is hard to listen to because of the sea sounds in the back ground. i could only listen for a few miniutes. Love to hear what your saying be I can't
I just want to contribute something about the time everyone is on about,its only in the west that rush rush was created, we have all the time in the world to do things,why rushing, there's no hurry in life afterall the world will still be here even after death, thats why the west has this issue of stress mentally and imotional killing people too much rushing to work and other things too much stress, but hey in Africa we take things easy and thats why no stress in Ghana 🇬🇭 take it easy people ❤😊everything you said is true 😢stress is killing us in the west with working and no play 😮i cant wait to come back😊❤
Can you just leave Jamaica come to Ghana buy a house and live there what you have to do when you coming into Africa and don't know anyone about nothing there what is the challenge going through airport question! And living whiteout a job there your money finish how would you live husband wife and kids please read through and answer all questions Mrs jasmine
You need to plan and do your research. Take trips to Ghana and see if you like it before moving there to understand the environment and also to network! You need a job in Ghana especially with the way the economy has gone. I am sure there are Jamaican RU-vidrs who have moved there you can search for. Remember Ghana is not only Accra.
i love your channel but sometimes it looks like you are just showcasing Ghana from a diaspora perspective and not from a Ghanaian actually living in the country and suffering the consequences of a broken system. Most Ghanaians cannot even travel to some of the resorts and beauty of the country.
Saa, I think Ghanaian women are taking too much advantage on your first point. So we the Chiselmen association have STOPPED treating women in a special way and embraced equality in all its dimensions and ramifications🤣
@kofig55919, pls do approach the chiselmen association to reconsider their stance, treat us kindly & open their wallets to pay. We Ghanaian women can also provide them services in kind😅😅 Aluta continua!!💪🏾😆😆
The tendency of Ghanaian's been late to events is innate, really. We just can't help it. its in our DNA. Remember Ghana is at the centre of the earth. The prime meridian and the equator intersect within the waters very close to where Jasmine was reporting (the rocky beach at Sakumono-Tema; Port City). We 'spin' around the earth's axis and around the sun faster than anyone else on earth. so why should we ever 'hurry' on, or about any issue related to time? We own TIME on earth, believe it or not. no hurry in Ghana ooo...relax relax...chill everyone, you are in Ghana, ahead in time, nobody can out run, out pace you, yet people don't notice. Ghana Mean Time is faster than Greenwich Mean Time. Ghana's Time reigns....no worries for us ever. its neither laziness nor whatever.
It's interesting. My former partner of 7 years was born and bred Ghanaian and rejected advances there on religious grounds. Something that is not currency in Britain.
