I can never trade my Africa for any place in the world. It's the simplicity for me, brings peace of mind. No stress, no depression. Just a simple life, Anna you got to experience it first hand now. It may look ridiculous to someone else who doesn't know the peace of mind that comes with it.
Couldn’t agree more sis. The grass is always greener at the other end unfortunately to some but there’s inner peace in living life simply.
Miss Pearl!
Your comment is a "pearl" of wisdom!
Yes - I agree... I wish my country Congo was a little more like these great African countries, such as Ghana, Togo or Rwanda - not even perfect, but stable and good enough to live peacefully...
@@Miss_Nikkisan Congo is the richest country in Africa mineral wise. We all know who don't want peace in Congo, those stealing and benefitting from the raw minerals. Let's be hopeful for the future though.
That old lady pounding the broom....she must be close to 70 years old....what strength!
She ll even be more done
African healthy food, daily natural exercises, sun, family and friends that's real paradise
🥰
You make us be proud of who we Ewe people or African people include Haitians are... Love your contents ...always simple and so meaningful 🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇰🇪🇰🇪
Togo villager is so clean and organised the people don’t look poor or downtrodden it looks like a beautiful place to live it’s Africa’s hidden gem
What a beautiful, simple and healthy life. I never appreciate African life until I move to America. And bom the reality hit me. Now I'm even grateful I come from that rich continent and I'm coming back next month. I remember when one white woman asked me why y'all Africans think America is a better place? We can barely survive here and we are struggling, and y'all come here and struggle 10x worse than us. She said no LIES!!!
Anna, even if you go back to the Netherlands, u should still do content creating. U are very good at it. We love these Togo videos.
She likes 🇬🇭 and she’s very down to earth and you can tell she’s very happy & the 🇳🇱 can’t offer her that.
Hi Anna it's really important to know your history, Afraka's civilisation was in existence when the Western world was derelict, people from around the world travelled to Egypt for 1st class education, Western economy depends HEAVILY on Afraka, (note the original name AFRAKA not AFRICA) and its resources, first Universities were in Afraka, we just need to. Know and Rediscover ourselves, Visit other parts of Afraka continent and squash all those lies you were told. The originality of that part of the world must be kept intact, ask yourself where are some of the Netherlands resources coming from, Afrakan were kept from you for a reason
@@titilayobabayeju4778 So True❣
U should sis no other place like africa
@Dan Don people like who?? You don’t know me & you don’t know anything about me or any of the people here. Nobody forced you to come here & read my comments if you didn’t like what I said move on. I know what both countries can offer I’ve lived in 🇬🇭,🇳🇱,🇦🇺,🇰🇪,🇿🇦,🇦🇪,🇩🇪 & now 🇬🇧 so save your feelings to yourself I don’t think 🤔 the people here including Anna is interested in your negativity. Every country is different & if you haven’t had the opportunity to travel 🧳 & live in any other country you wouldn’t know so bye 🙂
Africans are friendly to all race.Greetings from Hannover Germany
This is life. They make life so easy. I LOVE IT!!!!!! Thanks for taking us along to see the real Togo. There is not enough positive videos about Togo available. My husband is from Togo and Benin and I love being around his countrymen that are here in the US. They are so loving and kind. Before you Tube came along many people never would have even dreamed of visiting to Africa. Now many are saving everything to move there forever. Please keep documenting about Africa!!!
Amém
I totally agree with you they do not depend upon the system they know how to grow their food and live stock and their own medicine.
I see through CZcams videos lots of people are leaving the West relocating in the different areas of Africa. And I love in the Village Life their outdoor area is the TV room enjoying nature.
The best video ever from The Acheapong Family i realy enjoyed , Salaam from Snow and dark in Finland , i realy MIsed My African Land ,Thank you Anna and Kevin
I’m always thankful that I spent my primitive years in Ghana because it honestly builds your self confidence and independence. There is something magical about the African continent. I have lived in the uk over 20 plus years and I always attribute by firm foundation to Africa. You gain so many transferable skills which toughens you but also ensures that nothing brings you down . The West will forever envy us.
Great video Anna. I’m enjoying this organic vlog.
👏🏽😆🙏🏾thank you Mrs Achampong, beautiful again. Africa is the cradle of civilization. We started it all and our ideas, creations and inventions got stolen along with our history. It really hurts me when we Africans DNT believe in ourselves and we think we have not offered anything to society. Please let’s learn about ourselves our history. You will be amazed and proud of you ancestress. 👏🏽👏🏽😘💕well done sister
I laugh to myself when I hear people talking in the negative about Africans and especially against those who live in our villages. The folks in the village are smarter than those who live in the cities. Village life is far more sweeter the life in the city.
So True!!! Life is sweeter in the villages and people are so friendly!!
Such a beautiful video.
Got that right brother.
Yes - because the fools in the cities when there is no job- they become homeless and resort to silly things to earn a living. Village life is interesting and you don’t need money all the time to live. I am astounded at how village people can be so innovative in doing almost anything out of local stuffs that city people throws away.
@@korro5870 it's called recycling and its ancient practice to never mistreat earthly resources, it's destroying nature throwing especially plastics away
@@brotheramos1613 So why do young people in the village wish to leave for the city?
wow but did anyone else notice aunties muscles? May God preserve her ameen.
I love how you participate in everything Ana! That is how you understand. Please do not become just like the West! Be something BETTER!
We can see the happiness in your eye, but enjoyment, fun in the village with your family members... we are so happy for you sis Anna 🙏🏽👸🏽🙏🏽
❤️
So funny when you wanted to ride the tyre like the boy🤣. I did this when I was a child. I grew up in such place. Village. And I had the most beautiful childhood ever.
Anna with the village.😂😂😂😂😂.
Real Africa ewe lady Anna.😂
Hahahahaha.😂
The village is beautiful, modern.
Anna, being in African suits you and I feel that it’s the best lifestyle for you and your family. You and Kevin definitely made the right choice moving out there. Thanks for sharing all the beautiful, interesting and very informative videos. All your videos are unique unlike most which is literally just copies of what’s already be done 👌👍 👏🏿
Anna! Togo did something magical to you! Being in such a loving and simple environment with all that family has you radiating joy! And that sun put a nice tan on you as well. Really loving these Togo videos. Keep up the great work!
Anna, there is surely progress in your children's generation. Village life is village life anywhere in the world. Anthropologists know this too well. The boy running his wheel exists in many villages worldwide. Africa is at a crossroads. Keep up the good content + learning your languages. Xx
Wao, grandma is so strong! Those activities keeps their body strong and active. That's what Americans need!
Grandma does not need to visit the gym. She is so active and strong, doing her work outside getting the sunshine☀️☀️🌞🌞🌞🌞
At the well, you get your arm work out. You feel the burn in your arms, each time you draw water from the well. The lifestyle itself, is exercising
This is absolutely stunning!!! I'm from the Eastern part of Nigeria and I relate with EVERYTHING I'm seeing here. Reminds me of visiting the village during Christmas period growing up!!! I believe Africa is basically the same all over irrespective of difference in language and culture!!!
I have to stop watching ur videos when am at public places mostly in public transport.... The moment i start laughing nd smiling ...will raise my head to see weird faces watching me as if am going mad....lol
🤣😁 enjoy life !!!
That's the standing broom. Helps not to break the back. Its in all villages. This tells you regardless of borders and language we are all the same people as Africans. This is exactly in most villages even in Ghana as a whole and other countries too. They have their own innovative ways of preserving food without any refrigerators and modern methods we use today. Highly intelligent people. That's why its best to go to village to learn the village life. If you know the village life you can survive any problem.
Very true !
@@AnnaAcheampong this living is far more better than those fancy hotels and restaurants you keep visiting. I believe there are more villages in Ghana too that you can visit. Usually you can stay at some palaces when you inform them you are coming. And I believe Kevin's family come from a certain village but live in Kumasi so you can request to visit the actual village he comes from too.
Love this video. This brings memories of Haïti and Curaçao.
All these items and topics you showed was on these Islands where enslaved descendants of Ghanese, Togolese, Benin, Nigeria, Congo Cameroun people lives.
The lady beating the "to be" broom, looks like grandma of my wife(Haiti), the broom she is making is being used in Haïti still and only older people in Curacao use it . The straw matras we used to sleep on when we visit family in Haïti. the way they climb the coconut tree is the same they did at grandma her house in Haïti. The cement blocks are being build the same way on certain Carribean Islands, and are the best ones!! Our neighbours in Curaçao did the same way . The same tire toy, was being used to play with in the Carribean, children plays with it in the past.... Oh dear this video shows again that we are family and we are smart
Thank you so much
Yes our people are smart and have good memory!! I am in the Netherlands , groetjes uit Nederland!!
Thanks brother Anos we are all one people
@@AnnaAcheampong Yes we are one!! Wij zijn één!!
Your message in the video is so clear. We love it.
Hatians are mostly from the Ewe tribe of Togo and Benin for sure
@@kwakuakonto8942 Yes, I know that. I bought a book about the Ewe people and we are still studying and comparing it. Definetely it is true. We are people next to grandma house in Haïti, having white circle painted on their bodies, just like some video showed Ewe people on certain festivals...
This is so nice to see, that we are so connected and are regaining knowledge about our roots!!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👍🏾
I have nothing to say but Thank YOU SISTER ANNA❤️
🥰
Hi Darling Anna - coming through from the South Pacific Island of FIJI. Loving your content. This is what we wanna see. Sending my Love to you and your family 🙏🏾
Waauw would love to visit sometime 😍
Hello FIJI! I hope to visit your beautiful island(s) one day.
@@risemahadeva - Thank You. Pleasure knowing that. The Western Side of Fiji believed that their origin is Africa. There are a lot of familiar faces in the groups of countries and islands known as Melanesia. An island in Vanuatu is called Tanna which might have the same name as the Lake Tana in Ethiopia (hope I am correct of that one🤔)
@@korro5870 Thanks! I agree with the African origins of some of the peoples of Fiji. I feel it's quite apparent in their physical features.
Hey Anna, I have watched a number of your videos in the past but have never commented before. I think you’re gaining invaluable experiences in Togo that can only enhance your life as a person. You are even looking local and that is a good thing.
😊
Togo is quite an interesting country
You are genuinely happy with your roots and People. You love to learn. I wish your well. Thanks for showing world Africa. Thanks
Mrs Acheanpong is having lots of fun in the village. Your kids would have loved it better.
Thank you once again for sharing Togo with us.❤ This lifestyle showcased in the video is just *chef's kiss*
I love this adventurous side of you Anna. I agree with you, we really don’t have to prove anything to anyone and we don’t need anyone’s acceptance. That’s the first rule of self-love and we need to accept ourselves and our imperfections as Africans. Nice video as always.
Awwh, I used to do the wheel and stick thing. We also used bicycle rims.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Me too!
And box carts, built at home from left over boards and ball bearings from truck tires, used for wheels, with a piece of rope for steering.
I have scars from tipping over in the street.
FUN!
@@zuripenda such fun!🤗🤗🤗
We are indeed very innovative. Really enjoyed this. The guy posing at the end sealed the deal 🤣
Hello baby girl Anna, love your video, showing simple life in our Country Africa, all the parts shown by you , use to be a part of my childhood in the 60s and 70^s and that was a part of my life, growing up, I have no shame and no regrets, thank you.
See how strong the old lady is. You can see, there is no diabetes! We give the Lord praises
I think the word you were looking for was ''MISCONCEPTION'' and believe me people have that a lot in the west. Most of the innovations you saw today in the west are originated from Africa. People who visit there saw an idea took it to the west and modernized it and turn it into theirs. Also, that tyre you were trying to ride brings back a lot of memory. Back in the days in Africa, I use to ride that to run errands for my parent. That right there was my means of transportation to take me anywhere I was going. Great content, keep them coming and continue been you as well as Kevin.
The old lady is so agile!! Look how fast she gets up and sits down... amazing... Anna you are thriving in the village- peace of mind and lots of laughing... Beauty is so simple and easily taken for granted. I love African villages.
I just love watching these Togo videos. Brings a smile to my face. Village people very hardworking and innovative. That older lady put me to shame. Keep the videos coming Anna ❤
You’re making me excited for my visit to Togo my husbands home country. I show him your videos and he gets so excited to see his country in this way. True Happiness ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for great content
You look so relaxed and enjoying the environment 😁
Love from Austria! Village life is cool
Hello Anna, How are you and everyone doing? I can see you are enjoying Togo 🇹🇬 very well. The next time you go will you take Kevin, Sophie Jane, and Micah along? Sending you all lots of love ❤️ and your almost close to 50K subscribers 😃🙏🏽
🥳
Impressed you speak the language.
Anna, you are very passionate and hard working, after every upload, you read and like(❤️) every single comment as and when they come, even till late night. And reply plenty of the comments. U really care about us the subscribers. Thank you so much.
We do ❤️🙏🏽
You are literally putting Togo on the map. Your videos are the most positive content I've seen on Togo.
Anna I see how you are enjoying village life. You see how much fun it is? That's what you and the whole family need to experience. City life is always there but this is what the kids need in Africa.
I totally agree
Anna, you are home! I am glad to see you have learned so much! No place like home
Anna. Hope you are having good time in Togo. I chanced to watch some of your episodes in which you interviewed your dad and the one in the Epkui. I recognised him as one of my pals in Accra New Town in the early 70's. A little of intro of myself. My name is John Agbo (a.k.a in those days as Johnnievi). Your dad I were church mates at Kpehe Roman, during Rev. Fr. Lauck's tenure and we used to play together.
I am currently residing in Los Angeles, California for the past 15 years and before then was abode in Germany between 1991 and 1993. In the video, I did recognised Antoine and Emelia whom I have met a couple of times that I visited Ghana in the Abelenpe area.
Ask your dad if he can still remember me. My family house then was behind Ghana Commercial Bank in Accra New Town and adjacent to the then popular chop bar called "Madam G. F"). If he can recollect, I would like to reconnect with him. I am on schedule to leave the US at the end of April to visit Ghana.
Hi john, can you please email me at acheampongadventures@gmail.com so i can give you my dads nr. He does remember you.
Good to see quality African content. This holy sacred living. Currently- I am binged watching your intriguing and myriad informative videos.
🥰
I used to play with this bicycle wheel as a kid. Memories...
Liked before watching it
😎❤️
Wow, I probably went to same Village with my granny about 14 years ago to celebrate a Easter holidays. It's was really fun the people are very fantastic. This village is called Ekpui near Togoville. Good old memories.
Yes thats the place 👍🏽
Those was the days of my childhood growing up, the blessings continues thank you 🙏🏾
What!!! The 97 year old lady is stronger than Anna. Wow!!
😀 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes! Did you see how built her biceps are? That lady LOOKED very strong! 😍
Anna village life looks great on you
Magnifique👍 Showing authentic village life in Togo. Truely authentic...my people. You bring tears to my eyes while I watch from afar. Bravo 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Go home and spend some time with your family.
They will be overjoyed to see you.
loving this content....brought back so many memories.....thanks for this
Poor Anna had to be sweeping while the men sit and watch her - not fair!
There’s just one thing that I couldn’t get use to: walking barefoot.
You’re right about being creative and innovative, the Africans have it in spades. Can you imagine if Africa didn’t have to undergo colonialism and have the continent divided up by the Europeans where it would be today? Give it time and commitment, it will emerge from the ashes into a powerhouse that will be the envy of the world. We just have to believe in ourselves. By the way, just keep those vlogs coming!!
Simply people and simply life and very easily to live. You are really experienced a village lifestyle and its nature with the natural food. The village people are very healthy and very strong enough. The environment is pretty good.
This reminds me of when i you to live in Barbados 🇧🇧....Good old days 💕💕
The place is so clean . It's like they sweep every hour .
Anna u are doing a great job dear,I really can't get enough of your videos😊pls keep them coming. .....
I was waiting to see you challenge the grandma as well :)
Thanks for another nice video on Togo. Waiting already for the next one ...
The little boy in the blue top is SO cute 🥰
My favourite CZcams family in Ghana, period!! They have more than filled the void created by Native Borne Family. Hopefully, more travelling will be in the works post covid. You have gained more subscribers as a result of the Togo videos.
The well water 💦 is very clean Ana
I like the way you have allowed yourself to fit in. This opens doors for you
We are clever and innovative .. smart as you said we make something out of nothing
Back home in Suriname as a kid I remember we didn’t have dolls but we used to make them from trees and the head used to be from a cherry or an olive ..
we are not as far as the west because we don’t have these advanced tools and application etc
But the knowledge is definite there !
Thank you for sharing Anna 🌱😘
love you from Algeria
This is country life that's all my grandma used well water. Instead of rolling a tire with a stick we played with marbles when I was a kid. Country livin is cool. Necessity is the mother of invention that's why they are so innovative!
I love Nature and i loved going to the villages in Nigeria many years ago when my late father use to take us there .
Good job anna ,you are having fun in togo 🥰
Once again another powerful video! Take away the modern conveniences that we have gotten used to and let’s see how many people can really survive. Modern conveniences help but when we rely on just them we lose The skills for survival. I also would like to comment on the girls doing the work before they eat I think there should be a little bit given on both sides the boys should learn that girls have qualities they do not have and are able to have innovative ideas and also for the girls it is good for us to keep a little bit of our humbleness and our ability to serve our men because ultimately it helps them do more for us if it is a healthy relationship The men need the women to help them succeed and what woman does not want her man to protect her and care for her? Both of these things have a particular theme I think everything in moderation taking the good and beneficial things from each side and leaving the things that do not benefit behind. My husband is from GHANA as you might know and the wisdom he has from God is amazing I agree with all that you have said and Africans are very intelligent once again thank you
Anna, we have a few requests.
Is it possible that in your future videos you can show how ladies make their clothes, sew their dresses in traditional way in villages where there are tailors and no big shops selling in huge quantitie the same dresses. Can you do a video about how they can cook nice meals for generations without using cookbooks. Their memories are their cookbooks. We love how respectful your videos are and how you show the world of the people to us!!Groetjes uit Nederland💐💐💐💐
Hi brother amos, the cooking video is ocmming up 👍🏽. I’ll keep the sewing in mind next time we go to Togo
@@AnnaAcheampong Thank you for your kindness. We are eager to watch the upcoming videos.
Am from Volta region of Ghana, and I can relate with all that is happening here. Love from uk
i was just on your channel and boom you uploaded ❤️
😁
African are innovative people, I used to make my own toy when I was young.
Anna, those normal Ghanaian ways are common in the Caribbean.
Climbing very tall coconut trees to cut the bunches of nuts for sale and also, drinking at home, sharing with friends; the bags of juice (called sucker bags); sweeping with coconut branches (the stems are separated from the leaves and tied together to form brooms, usually to sweep the yards, though there is a spiritual side to them); using old tires as toys (not done today as children are now into technology), but in my time it was normal.
We also used the rims and simply called them, "rollers".
Life has changed immensely, many traditions have been cast away, but they are still very valuable and will continue to be.
Think for a moment!
What would be the position of man today, without electricity which most people take for granted?
Africans and other indigenous peope everywhere would be better off than most of the world.
I am country in my heart, I like the comforts of modern day up to a point, BUT, in the country, I am me.
Nothing is wrong with Ghanaian or any other indigenous way of life.
To each his own!
If it were mine, I wouldn't trade it.
I love everything in the video 😍🙏🏽
i really love this family,they my real family from ghana
It is so amazing how they brought those skills with them to the Caribbean. We had the same thing in my country before tap water. One of the dangers was drowning . If you are too tall you could fall in.
Some were build on high elevation which can be slippery when wet.
You are doing great with your English language Anna, given that its not your first language.
I guess the word you are looking for is ' Misconception ' 😉.
Yes thats it Thank you 😊
Love the videos and the spirit of their family....you have to do what's best for your family....
The frozen juice in the sachet is called "Snow Ice" where I am from in the Caribbean.
Snow cone?
@@islandgirl7519
"Sucker bags" in Trinidad.
Sno cone is shaven ice in a paper cone or styrofoam cup, fruity syrup (guava or some other fruit), poured over the ice and, if desired, condensed milk on top.
Delicious!
Hi Anna, next time you go to Togo can you make a video showing the kids learning village skills. Maybe have the other village kids showing them how to do things. I think they will like it and it will be nice to see them experiencing village life too
And thank you for reading all your comments. It's really appreciated 🥰
Lets hope the borders open soon !
15 yrs old boy in afric is smarter than 40 yrs old in Europe 15 yrs in Africa is real man
Thank you God bless you for your job. I hope they pay you well. It’s a job and people must respect it. God protect you and pay you. Perseverance. It would pay off.
Aunty Acheampong 🔥🔥🔥
13:10 just wow 😀
Anna I wouldn't call it innovation, is common sense. Remember everything started from Africa is just that the west found a way to improve things and made life a bit easier. That broom came before the vacuum cleaner, the well came before the tap etc
Your videos are so refreshing,so much love for you from Kenya.
And yes the big cousin was right,you must sweep😂😂
Go and do it your self Anna sent me🤩🤩🤩🤩love it
😎😎🙏🏽
Togo looks really nice
Good job 👍 Sis, for showcasing our motherland and brothers, sisters and healthy children. I am enjoying your videos because my mother is also from Togo 🇹🇬 by name (Adjivon)but I have not been able to go there. Thanks from Nevada.
This reminds me of back in Nigeria when I was in high school fetch water from the well I build like a tank from doing it ..........100% workouts.
