Lack of infrastructure, corruption and inefficiencies isn't cultural it's stagnation and apathy.
It’s neither!!!
They don’t pay taxes…if Americans didn’t pay taxes we would be in the same boat!!! PERIOD
Since youre so wise come n fix it
@@Lil_Elegant Problems are only truly resolved by those that are directly impacted, perceive the issue is intolerable and are invested in finding and implementing resolutions. Those from outside can only give localized temporary relief and never substantive lasting solutions.
I am a Sierra Leonean, and i agree with you 100%! it is the same all over Africa, we've attained our independence for over sixty years now, and the status quo
still exists, and needs to change. The electrification of the whole continent, is the only way, that the continent would progress and industrialize. Imagine, we are in the21st century, and we are still mired in this. Indigenous Africans don't have to get in their feelings, because of this constructive criticism, by our brothers and sisters of the African diaspora, who are blessed with the same DNA that we have, they have the blood bought right, to discuss this publicly, and hold the "powers that be," feet, to the fire..
I LOVE THIS!🥰 Thank You sooooo much for your comment 🤗
So what’s your point? Don’t be a sycophant. You think they are not Ghanaians true true so they have no right to complain?
You must be living under a rock if you feel the locals are not complaining and putting it online. I am a Ghanaian and visit at least once every year and this issue is ruining people’s businesses, there was an issue in a NICU once when lights went out. Business owners who run 'cold stores' are spending all their revenues on power so it in turns falls on the consumer! This has been a persistent issue since 1998 (I remember bcos I used to go to other places to watch the world cup because of lights out) and it’s time these greedy politicians solve it once and for all. They don’t suffer since they are rich and can afford generators and get reimbursed as allowances.
Listen carefully to what they are saying. If you can’t use your nebulizer because of power loss then it’s a huge problem. Or you expect them to praise this bad condition?
During my time in Gh, I get into a bad mood coming from work to come home to meet these power outages. Imagine the heat and having no fan or air conditioner let alone anything to entertain you.
They have the right to air out their frustrations!
@@papayaw5679 i think that we are both airing the same frustrations about the lack of adequate electricity in the continent, not just Ghana. It is not sycophantic at all my brother, to air my views. We, the Africans of the continent and our African brothers and sisters of the diaspora, should all be in one accord, in order to fight this, the crooked politicians and the Svengalis that are pulling their strings in the west, are our common enemy, and we should use all the energy at our disposal, to unify and fight them into submission, for the good of Mama Africa, God bless you sir.
@@haroldjones7013my bad. Very sorry. I responded to the wrong comment. Forgive me
@@papayaw5679 it is okay my brother, i am not mad at you, we've all made mistakes, i did not take what you said personally, because i thought that you either did not understand where i was coming from, or you had inadvertently referred to the wrong commenter. 🤣
My main aim, as a Pan Africanist, is to see Africa grow, we must have leaders that envision this, but sadly, it seems that 99.5% of the leadership in Africa, are not interested in the development of the continent, because they are at the behest of their benefactors in the west and more recently the east, (China, to be specific) again, Africa must be free off the tentacles of these opportunists, and their henchmen, that are pillaging and raping Africa dry!
I am sorry, i know that i am long-winded, but this has been a sore topic for me for a long time, and the status quo would not change, unless our African brothers and sisters of the diaspora, especially the ones that have the wherewithal and expertise to help us develop, ( Africans helping Africans) and electing young leaders like the new Senegalese president. Bassirou Dyomaye Faye, with a panAfricanst outlook, that the continent would truly start in the pathway to truly develop Africa, into the mineral rich continent that it is, with abundant arable land to farm, which when developed agriculturally, would be the bread basket of the world. If all of the leaders of the 54 countries in Africa, can dedicate themselves, to nothing, but the electrification of Africa, best believe, the western powers knows that such a move, would be detrimental to them, and a death knell to their own economies and their hold over Africa, because they know that with the electrification of Africa, by non traditional means ( like Idris Elba and his company, are doing in Sierra Leone, laying the groundwork, to build a self sustainable city in Bonthe Island) that would use solar, wind and aqua energies, to power and electrify the city, his plan and that of his partners, is to make Bonthe Island, a technology hub, a tourist hub, as well as a live, work and play environment, because the island have over 19 pristine and untouched white sand beaches, and this hopefully could be replicated all over Africa, because we have all of the ingredients, that would make the continent of Africa, the superpower that it supposed to be.
The truth must be told! If only the big men will listen!
They won't, next....
This is the honest truth! It’s so annoying! The big men in charge, don’t care! They have their Generator plants, funded by the state! Hmmm😢
🙏🏿👍🏿 The richest place on earth. Can't keep. The lights🤔
Africa has problems with resources because of Western colonial politics and their puppet African leaders, which I'm assuming you already know. Colonial policies in blackface allow outside corporations to benefit off of the resources, and whatever crumbs are left are hogged by the greedy politicians and elite. These governments could easily do more to develop the land, but they are literally paid not to. This is the situation. Our only hope is SELF RELIANCE. We as the people (the ones with common objectives) have to work together to develop ourselves slowly but surely. Waiting on these compromised governments is futile at this stage.
Soooooo True!!!!
Plus they don’t have a tax system to fund services like the US has.
Soooo should they not say anything 🤷🏽♂️.. speaking up spreading awareness and making connection is how you fix things.
@@TheHoodVoice2024 The speaking out these two are doing will for sure only make matters worse. How…because they will ignite separation between themselves and the people of Ghana.
Please keep in mind. Ghanaians have been living under these conditions since forever. We Americans have been living a certain way for a long time as well. Clearly it’s different. Taxes vs. No Taxes!
The best way to speak about this is with a solution. Not just complaining and finding fault with everything. Start all conversations with positive feedback and then end it with useful solutions. Don’t just come on here complaining and carrying on etc.
@TheHoodVoice2024 I stated what our only hope is. Sure making connections COULD fix things depending on what is put to action as a result. But not on its own.
@@sankarapatricebishop Exactly 👍🏽
That is how some parts of Africa is though... . So...people...please try to be adequately informed BEFORE you go. 🤷🏽♀️
One thing I know is some of the power generated in Ghana is shared with some other African countries too. Nevertheless, they have to improve
Stop your fake story
Get solar power until they improve it.
Facts
Absolutely it’s strange how a lot of content creators have made public service announcements informing diasporas not to come to Ghana with our “Americanized” expectations, yet they all are okay with the price gauging known as “Tourist/Foreigners” prices because coming from America, it is assumed we are rich! If that is okay and understood then it should be EXPECTED for the to at least enjoy some of the BASIC comfort/necessities we’ve had prior to coming to Africa. After all let us build AFRICA but let us also be able to receive adequate Healthcare, water and lights!! Hat’s off to you two Genuine, real and unapologetically unbothered
The 3rd world is what keeps the 1st world 1st world.
With its natural resources, all of Africa should be as prosperous as Dubai.
Leaders love to other countries. They see how wonderful other live, but they are content to go back to their African countries knowing that there are dirt roads & no electricity. It’s downright criminal. 🤬 Africa is beautiful & wealthy. There is NO EXCUSE other than poor leadership.
Honest truth
Glad to see my long lost brother again.
Real talk...The fear or shaming for speaking critically of African failed infrastructure is prevalent and not conducive of inspiring expedient positive changes. I appreciate this conversation.
Not Nigerians by any chance. As a matter of fact, Nigerians hold their leaders feet to the fire by "over talking" about these issues but for some reason, Ghanaians are extremely sensitive when you bring up issues of failed or lack of infrastructure. Not sure why.
@@nauticdixons Africa must become as Nigerians in that respect.
@@rudygrissom5871you must be joking go and check how useless nigeria is they dont even have light
@@nauticdixons nope they dont they don’t yet they to other African countries and talk talk talk about their system
Ladies, thanks for talking about this serious problem. But I was hoping to hear solutions from you but got none. Should we expect that in a sequel?
Ghana is a developing country.that means they don't have things like nuclear power yet
Africa has nuclear scientists, and others, that can come together, and draw a plan for the continent, but the majority of them are in the West. These are the people that can be pioneers in their particular discipline in the continent, but are used to the West's comfortable lifestyle, and are afraid of coming back and roughing it
This is the reason I would fear taking my mom to the motherland due to her hypertension and being without the AC to cool her down. Africa needs to take control of its natural resources benefiting the western world. When my AC broke here I had to get my mom to my sister's house promptly. With all the wealth in natural resources and the wonderful sun, the entire continent should have solar. Take care of your people and not only your pockets.
You just have to prepare. Don't let these type of msgs scare you.
She doesn’t need cooling down. She needs to take her anti hypertensives unless she has problems with her thyroid or menopausal flushing.
@@papayaw5679 Oh she does take hers but she has a low tolerance for heat.
It’s a tragedy that a country such as Ghana which is BLESSED with natural resources is so poorly managed! An absolute TRAGEDY
You are complaining for power outage in Ghana for days that means you can't be in most part of Nigeria. But if you are rich you get power supply constantly based on the location you are. High brow areas have a better power supply. Note that in most parts of Africa we don't rely on Government for basic amenities. You provide for yourself. The only problem I have with Ghana is that they pretend all is well comparing thier country with Nigeria. The population and land mass of Ghana is just the size of two states in Nigeria out of 36 States and the Federal capital territory. But we Nigerians we don't pretend about the problem s the problems of Nigeria.
💯....Note: MOST Africans do not rely on government for Anything, they _RELY on themselves_ ,
I believe this is the key 🗝 reason why diaspora are moving to the Motherland, and thus it's futile to travel thousands of miles away seeking the _Same Comforts brought by dependency on Authority and Controlling systems _ that cause oppressive state of being, in 2024 and beyond we should be striving for Self-Sustainable Solutions, because it is clear for all to see we are in a _SHIFT_ !
Nigerians enjoys more stable power than Ghanaian because majority of Nigerians have their own source of power
WHO IS (THE ...) IN CHARGE....Responsible. job
You need a backup generator in Ghana or a backup battery bank. If you are poorer then you need to go old school with lanterns, candles, etc. until you can afford a battery bank or a generator. In the U.S I have a battery bank and a backup generator for those occasional power outages. It seems that the power outages over there are intermittent and are off for a few hours at a time. If I would move to Ghana I would strive to have at the minimum a battery back for 6 hours of electricity for critical appliances. Then I would strive to get a backup generator. That should solve those intermittent outages.
Yiu think it's so easy. Fine, you can eventually get a generator if you live in Ghana, but then you have to deal with paying for fuel to run the generator when the lights go off. That is very expensive too.

@@kehindeemiabata4032 Yes, but those are things that people who are moving to here have to take into consideration.
As AAs, in terms of culturally, should we all be online airing out Ghana's dirty laundry on line? Is this kind of real honest accepted American behavior acceptable to the natives in the motherland? You even said, a lot of people talk about solutions and if you don't have the money, should you be in a foreign land strongly offending the people. This is a concern. We must respect other people's culture and way of life as this airing out is really creating a deep, deep, resentment and divide between us and our native brothers and sisters. Really try and be more respectful. I will be visiting for the first time this year and I'm hoping it's not a hostile environment between us and them because "we" keep sullying their image online. Speak locally, to authorities, whatever you need to do, but airing it to the world online is not something their culture or other country's there appreciate. Be mindful. Be wise. And be patient and use common sense. Respectfully. You are in GHANA. You are not on the block in the US. If you sincerely care about the future and building bridges between the diaspora and us...please be mindful and read the room, aka the culture.
Thank you for your comment, however when you are here living there are things you must be vocal about to see real change, its mindsets like this that has kept Africa suppressed, I found no disrespect in anything that was spoken about in the video, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
@@jussvlog You're welcome, but it's not a mindset. I never said change doesn't need to happen. I specifically asked whether it was culturally appropriate.
@@atina5976actually that’s not all that you said 🤔we live here and its annoying as hell for ppl from afar to have such a strong opinion.
@@Thepassporttraveler I only have a strong opinion because people here are complaining.
@@Thepassporttraveler I have a strong opinion because people who have family there and are from there who live back here feel strongly about it.
When I move to Ghana this year, I will have solar power because I've done the research and I've been there multiple times. You have to remember Ghana is not the US or the UK, it is a developing country...it took America hundreds of years to get where it is and some of that was based on free slave labor. Ghana is only 67 years old and it has to pay to build, there is no free labor. If you plan to rent in Ghana, there are many apartments with A/C units and generators, so when the power goes a generator kicks in and you are fine...its all about proper planning. You can't move to a developing country and then complain when the power goes...same thing happens in the Caribbean, power goes out , but life goes on.
Amen 🎉
Where is your solar
They broke
I agree with you all, it was not like that when the NDC was in power, that government can to meet this problem but did solve the problem but this present government in power is very irresponsible, and incentive to Ghanaians that is the reason. Please help pray for a change in government and by God's grace things will be fine.I am so sorry you are going through this problem. Just be patient
question: is this happening more frequently than when you first arrived because it could be intentional the locals are accustomed to this and can adapt so they don’t care if it affects the locals or not it’s what they know
Have a meeting (zoom ¿)with those in charge. electronic newspapers exist ?Election meeting ?
Thank you for the information.
I would suggest getting a solar panel and a generator then your prepared for the power outage.
Did you listen to them talk about this at all.
Authority comes from God, and those who are in positions of authority are placed there by God ( Roman’s 13:1)
Fortunately AAs have their OWN country to go back to? Why would you run off to the desert and then complain that there is no water to drink??
Thank u it's how it is I am from Caribbean it happens all the time we go tote water in buckets we save rain water to bath
Instead of resolving these problems, let's all say it together " IT'S JUSF THE WAY IT IS IN AFRICA . WE can and have to do better or Watch Africa became China second continent.
We are a people with no country and no language. The world belongs to us all though. That's is why I myself, have no problem most times, with the whole world fawning over and living on the land of my Ancestors. My land is your land.
@bekisiphotshili2566 Some AAs are also Ghanaian citizens or they are permanent residents and Ghana is their home. Also, I don't think they are complaining. They are just explaining. I mean if you are in the dessert with no water to drink and someone asks why you are in the condition you are in. You would have to say because their is not a lot of water. There is no other way to say it. 🤣🤣
Actually AAs do not own America. Europeans do. They are just tenants.
Stome age ghana
Eiii! Ghanaians told us they have 24hrs electricity. What happened? Jokers 🤪🤪🤪🤪
This light issue is literally about a month old. I've been in Ghana for 5 months now.
@@nauticdixonsthe light issue is older than you ,which months old
@@nauticdixons you must be joking we have been with this since forever what you talking about😂
@fesderi3933 light issues in Ghana, Nigeria and most of Africa have been for donkey years, I know that, but Ghana was doing so so well and had consistent light for a very very long time and then all of a sudden this recent dumsor. Why are people suddenly talking about this if it's been like this for a while? Do you think this number of diasporas will be pouring into Ghana like they've been doing for like 5 years now if this recent lights-out issue has been?
why won't the government of Ghana correct the problem.
it's not only Ghana that is experiencing power outages. South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and a lot of African countries are experiencing the same problem because of their source of power generation. In USA and other Western countries, you have nuclear energy generated electricity in the mix so you don't have such problems
Don't make excuses. Africa has had plenty of time to sort out this light off issue, but choose not too.
Listen ladies…If the locals don’t pay property taxes and school taxes and income taxes etc. they will not receive services as such. You’re comparing apples to oranges. In America we pay a million different taxes in order to receive all those benefits and even more you haven’t mentioned. So therefore since you’re in Ghana, go get a really good solar panel system and a borehole. If you can get together and help some of the locals get it too. This is not complicated it’s as simple as ABC.
Yes, you are right. American are taxed, taxed, taxed. Many are barely surviving. You get a lot of services but many are wondering if it's worth the price. Since that's not the case in Ghana of being overtaxed, If I lived in Ghana I would come up with a plan for a solar system (~$10,000 usd) or a good battery back up (a lot cheaper). And do a borehole like you say. If, I lived in Ghana and had the means I would go back to the U.S. and work a few months to a year and get the money for solar, batteries and a borehole and be done. No need in going another 20 years with intermittent power outages. But, sounds like to me a good business opportunity of either installing the cheaper battery backup in already established homes or getting with builders to have them installed when they are building. Just saying!
@@ov9879 absolutely!!!!
We obviously can’t have it both ways. You either pay a BUNCH of taxes or no taxes. If you choose to pay taxes, fine. That way you will get all the services your used to. If you live off grid (WELL) then you gotta set yourself up properly and stop complaining.
Ghana-United States status of forces Agreement!
It’s temporary . Ghana has 90% nationwide electricity coverage. I heard it’s about the a little gas supply to power electricity.
Ghana supplies electricity to about 4 west African countries so it’s temporarily. It will be over soon
Online hype don't develop a nation,say the truth , power is never stable in any part of Ghana .. the imf bailout and debt default make it worse now
Power has always been a problem for over 30 years. Stop it. It is better over the past 10 years compared to the 1990s but it is still a problem.
You guys need to voice out
Isn't there a government there?
What is your tax situation? Do you guys pay taxes?
I’ve heard that one of the problem with the diaspora people not paying taxes.
Ghana is having problems.
This is not the first time it started long long ago 😂 you just came 🤣😂lol
I think the best thing is to braid your hair or press it down so the locals doesn't see you as frightening. Your saftey is my priority
Her natural hair is beautiful
She does not need to press it down
The kids are bothered!😌
TOWN HALL MEETING ?
These Africans leaders aren't making moves for their people, like build a dam to create energy. Look at what they do with the Hover dam in Las Vegas it creates energy for the whole city
Sounds like the Volta region would be a great start
@ValarieCrudup-pv1di there's already a dam in the Volta River.
@@nauticdixons I saw it, was at this new hotel, right next to the bridge in Volta region last month.
The power outage and water outage problem in Ghana did not start today. It’s been going on over 20 years. When I was in Ghana, this problem was there. It’s been 20 years and it’s funny seeing you guys talk about this same issues. This ain’t going to change so save your breath and equip yourself with a bore hole and a generator or solar panels and move on. Why do you think a lot of the locals leave Ghana and go to America for greener pastures. The problems in Ghana, you guys have not seen anything yet. It’s either you equip your self for your own sanity or move back to America or go try another African country that you think has better infrastructure. All the best to you guys. Shalom.
Lol ... Ghana is not what you think it is. Ghana has no money. Their Gold have been sold to a foreign company and they have taken lumpsome advance payments for it. That means, whatever gold that is being mined today has zero monetary value to Ghana. It is going to get worse! Ghana is already bankrupt. I guess a lot of people don't realize this reality.
Dumb contract pocket deals from the leaders
Facts
The government is working on the power issue TBH. Ghana has enough power apparently but there seems to be power producing parties who are not paid on time for them to purchase fuel for their plants. There’s also inefficiencies in the distribution of power.
I believe in about a month or so they would’ve fixed it for the most part.
If this is true 🙌🏾🙏🏾Thank you for your comment 🤗
Joker 😂 You just don't know the politics behind this issue.
@@nauticdixons ok then. In your infinite wisdom, educate all of us. We are waiting…
@zerosumgame3722 it's called "dumsor." Go do the research yourself.
@@nauticdixons dumsor name was coined about 10 years ago! What I asked was your knowledge about the causes of the current dumsor.
Where ever I go and spend my money I have a right to call out anythnng that isnt meeting the standards of humanity. We created the Standard that the entire world comes to enjoy. Everybody in our country eating based off what our ancestors bled for. International Monetary Funding for your country based off the Labour of our People. Aint noone going to tell me what I should say or expose. We came back to Africa in the 1800s and founded a Freedom town when people here were still kidnapping and enslaving their own race. Aint nothing change then and now. Liberia was the Lone Star and Ghnaa adopted the Black Star based off our influence and Kwame Nkrumah was dacked because some YT Devils used our tax payers money to fund destabilisation all over Africa. This is ours for the taking because Europeans still own US.
I must remind you that you can't compare with the US.
How many year it took the US to be like now.
Ghana has only been 67 years independant .
And it has overcom so many obstacles.
Please take note.
Go compare Ghana with Singapore. We are we are not in 1776.
Cause. Buck stop
Get you some solar panels and live on.
An issue for u
I don’t see nothing wrong with yall speaking up. It’s not like you did it in a disrespectful way or had negative intentions if I pay for a service and don’t feel that I’m getting the best service for my hard earned dollar I have the right to speak up, it don’t matter if we’re in America, Africa, or Europe.
